New York, Oct. lot is amazing
how little real difference there is in
the styles of women's suits and gowns
this season from those Of last fall and
winter. Anything from the blouse to
the 46-inch coat is good this fall, and
the colors run chiefly in blues, browns,
green's and grays in tailor mades. In
evening costumes the colors run in
the usual light shades, and the empire
effect is seen in almost everything.
The short sleeve and the long sleeve
share about alike in favor with the
leading houses, and neither can be
said to predominant. In coats broad
cloths are in strong favor, and the
loose, semi-fitted and tight fitted
waists are all in vogue.
The silk petticoat, which has been
SO long in favor and which adds SO
much to the daintiness of a womans
appearance, is more than ever fea-
ture Of the fashionable girls apparel
this season, and the most fetching are
those in hand-painted designs-the lat
est French idea. In colors they are
browns, blues, greens and the pastel
shades; Scotch plaids are also popu-
lar and effective.
Walking suits with pleated skirts
and short jackets will be very smart
for fall wear and incidentally service
able if made of medium weight cloth,
such as most of the checks and stripes
are now manufactured in. The skirt
that Is, the more dressy ones--just
clear the ground and are really plain,
despite the pleats and rows of but
tons placed on the edges of them half
way between the waist and bottom
hem. The buttons are either covered
with material to match the dress or
are Of metal, and, because SO many
are used, small kinds are selected.
A plain, tight fitting short jacket,
that is especially becoming to
woman small in stature, Is without
trimming, even pleats in the back. In
front the coat Is finished with a vest
like effect of white serge or fine, light
weight wool, and on either side of the
fastenings the two rows of buttons,
corresponding to those on the skirt,
are placed near the top and also below
the bust line. The jacket is cut low
at the neck.
Large sleeves. fulled into the should
ers, are plain, with exception of the
lace gathered at the wrists.
Colors disagree just as men and
women do Most shades of red go to-
gether, and violet can be combined
with any shade of black, but it is not
very effective with white. It goes we'll
with certain shades of red. Greens
are most effective when combined with
other tones of GNeen. The different
shades OF brown is an old but some
what questionable combination.
The gold and silver that are in the
lead of all trimmings just now are
used with any and every color. There
are some combinations, however, that
are particularly effective. Black and
silver is preferable to black and gold,
but white and gold is in fine fashion.
There is nothing really more econo.
mical for handsome hat for visiting
or formal wear than high priced os-
trich tips. or long feathers; black, OF
course, being the preferred color, and
she who has limited income will do
we'll to invest largely in these plumes,
especially those of medium length,
although one very long plume is al
ways desirable and also q number of
short ones. Given a collection of
ostrich plumes of good quality and
clever milliner can make much out of
a simple shape.
Cheap ostrich plumes do not pay at
all, and nothing but the best should
be purchased. A really fine ostrich
feather will stand even a little rain
and not look bad, and when dry will
be as good as at first, for the finest
plumes never show the excessive curl
making their cheap sisters, curl that
the Least dampness takes away, leav-
ing only a woeful stringiness in its
place. Indeed, nothing of poor quail
itv pays in millinery. A fine felt or
velvet will outwear half dozen cheap
affairs and will always look we'll #
properly brushed or cleaned.
Sweaters for babies are the newest
thing that young mothers can buy for
the fall wear Of their little ones.
These garments, made on the same
lines as those worn by grown-ups. will
be most serviceable for use before
1t Is time to put on heavy winter
wraps.
The sweaters are made with simple
stitches in white wool. with a narrow
border of pink or blue around the
cuffs and neck or in light blue or
oOAASoSS pun Will Willie UOIucIS.
Some are made vest-like, cut quite
low at the neck with the edges bound
with silk, while others have the regu-
lation turtle neck such as athletes
wear.
These go on over the head and as
they fit tight to the body need no but
ton fastenings.
The revival of the old-fashion styles
in white blouses has been received
with so much favor that it will be car
ried out in waists for winter. These
have large or small tucks, sometimes
both in alternate rows, and are fas-
tened down the front with rather large
pearl buttons around a box pleat which
may be hemstitched at the edge or left
plain. At each side is narrow ruffle
of the fabric edged with lace.
The cuffs and collar turn over for
three inches, are made double and are
edged with the ruffles. The point to
remember in making the collar is that
it is mounted on a regulation high
band first, which keeps it from turning
over too near the base of the neck.
