IN WOMAN'S WEAR.
Plaids Lead From Spats to Coats and
Gowns

This Is to be plaid season for every
thing in woman's wearing apparel. from
spats to neckties, and hatpins will be worn
in subdued or gay Roman or Scotch
checked or stripes. Most of the smart
dress accessories as well as the materials
for waists, suits, trimmings for hats, in
plaid, attractive and are made in such
combinations Of colors that they will be
becoming to the majority Of women and
girls.
That plaids in some form or other will be
worn by every woman whether a member
Of the exclusive set or business person is
demonstrated by the statement of a smart
tailor, who declared recently that with
out a touch of plaid no woman's costume
will be complete this autumn"
Plaid II not made into a walking or street
suit will yet be in evidence in every con-
ceivable part OF woman's toilet. The
stunning new spats. for instance, in either
brilliant or quiet colors, are the newest ad.
dition to the long INST of plaid articles. In
silk they are decidedly effective. though for
practical wear those in cloth in Scotch
plaid will be more serviceable. Stockings
with plaid uppers or checked feet and
ankles will be much worn. Some of the
new hosiery Is in light shades and the
plaid Is two-toned. pretty combination
when in dark and light blue, brown, gray,
or for evening, pink. There are pieces Of
plaid ribbon elastic that may be worn If
color scheme. The latter made up with
plaid ribbon bows to match are quite re-
markable and entirely new.
Underskirts in silk plaid with deep green
or bright red predominating will be much
worn this fall and winter. either with
plain colored skirts or with checks or
stripes for the street.
Though chemise, corset covers and cor
sets or girdles will not be made from plaid
materials. they will have striped trim
mings and bows, for instead of running
dainty pink or blue ribbons through these
pieces of lingerie, ETC., narrow plaid rib
bons will be used. On white they will be
attractive, too. and quite out of the or
binary.
It will be distinctly year for plaid street
suits, or for separate skirts in this style
material, and, Of course, plaid shirt waists
in silk or flannel will be smart Plain
green. brown or red suits viii not be COM
plete without plaid trimmings in cloth, vel
vet or ribbon, on both waist or jacket and
skirt and on the latter panels in checks at
the sides, front and back will be effective
