RADICAL CHANGES IN WOMErpS STYLES TO Be SEEN
N IN

While the summer is still lingering
and the summer gowns so well loved by
all women are seeing their last rites
the local stores are filled with the larg-
est and by far the most elaborate
Things for the coming winters wear
that this city has ever seen. And when
the milliners display their wares to-
morrow. they will usher in a season OF
gorgeousness. Year by year the STYLES
become more elaborate and the ma
terial more expensive. and this season
VIII witness a reign OF real extrava-
gance in dress il the predictions Of the
shopkeepers hold good.
Few of the most extreme street styles
are shown as yet but II is already
plain that velvet is to have a run such
as 1t has not seen for years. Not alone
FOR the handsome gowns for reception
and tea, but for street wear is this ma
terial TO be adopted. In it's street form
corduroy will be n favorite, but the
heavier velvets suitable TO withstand
the weather will also be worn. A
brown velvet gown is shown
with the most up-to-date jacket and
skirt so far seen. The coat is of the
popular short length. ending just below
the waist, and finished with a hand
some vest of fancy material The skirt
Is Of the velvet tucked lengthwise
around the waist and falling free 10
some sets OF fine pin tucks around the
lower end Of the skirt.
Short Goats the Rule.
One suit. an exception 10 the rule OF
short coats, is of fine purple velvet with
q long fitted coat showing a vest OF
fancy material and a full skirt. But
I'm general il may be said that the rule
OF short coats is on i'm earnest
l.. III
door suits for the season. although the
styles are decided, each being fashioned
somewhat on the order set in the pre-
Ceding styles of last year. There is to
be no frightening of the sleeves for the
colder weather. the only compromise
being the larger muffs and the more
wrinkly gloves for street wear, and q
greater number OF bracelets for the
house. Indeed, the sleeves of the even
ing gowns are still shorter, some of
them being mere little caps. In gem
eral. dinner and house gowns and the
ubiquitous shirt waists all retain the
short sleeves, it being taken for grant
ed In these days of steam heat that
they will be tolerated.
An evening gown shown in the illus
tration is of long lines of baby Irish
lace extending from bust to knees and
forming the body OF the princess gown.
Fitted founces of Alencon lace and a
yoke Of the same with a touch here and
there of pale blue velvet baby ribbon
completes one of the most beautiful
gowns for dinner wear to be seen in the
local stores.
Princess Style Prevails
To say evening gown is TO say Prin-
cess gown, with few exceptions One
of renaissance lace in all black over a
handsome taffeta and net foundation is
seen which admits OF no color and yet
IS distinctvely a stunning gown. An
other OF pink chiffon. with insertions
Of French Val. lace and broader bands
OF Irish point is made in the same
style with a yoke that may be taken
out for a dancing frock. All of these
are made in the round length. but ex-
tremely long. and all are finished with
elaborate trimmings around the foot.
