NEW YORK FASHIONS

New YORK, Sept. 1b. -- During the
past week. while going through the
stores you were impressed by a sub
dued excitement under the face Of in
dolent summer do-nothingness, the
kind of face that a woman puts on
when visitors arrive in the midst OF
outwardly calm vet
hiding all sorts of news and changes.
] knew that great change was inn
pending and that soon everything
would work up to the Thanksgiving
day climax.
In the show room of one of the
Broadway houses / found three colors
that have the appearance Of being fav-
orites during the season; jacqueminot,
hunters green and bronze green.
which is more of a brown than q
green. These colors made up very
handsomely for dressy wear, and,
though the darker shades will be seen
on the streets, those suits that must
see hard wear are being made from
the gray mixtures, homespuns, tweeds
and serges in the most conservative
patterns. The note of brown so FREE
quently seen during the past summer
in hat trimmings has developed into
panels. braids, vests, and other trim-
mings upon the dress. In velvets,
heavy silks, cloth, ETC.; a great liking
is also shown for the brown tints of
leather which for motoring, travel
ing and sports gives very chic APP
pearance.
In group of models showing the
new fashions in coats, there are diff
ferent lengths; the Elton is still seen
in modified form, hip length, three
quarter, and full length, and blouse
coat of very stylish build, but which
style will take the lead, it is hard Just
now to predict. A good many women
at present, especially those in business
show a strong liking for the rather
short coat, fairly close fitting, and
having a good deal of the air of the
military jacket 1t is out of the way
leaves the short skirt free, is easy OF
fit, Is warm and very stylish with
braided seams and mannish collars
and cuffs. For more fancy coat there
is one that hangs loose like the pony
Jacket, having slot seams that fly
about two inches at the bottom: &
notched shawl collar of contrasting
goods and color is decorated with EN-.
broidery or braid applique, while thu
cuffs will be of the same goods ant
pattern as the COLLAR. If for earl,
wear there need be no lining, but OF
the whole fine silk lining will make
the coat give greater satisfaction an(
longer usefulness.
