Clever Variations Of the Seasons Best Modes
The Japanese Idea IN Fall Fashions Fea-
tures Of This Years Lingerie Dress
Novelties IN Millinery The
Lingerie Hat and the
Short Back Sailor.

! founcings is very marked this season,
and really is deserving Of more comment
than we have space to give it at this
writing.
Frocks of white and delicate pink, blue
and yellow nets of plain, fine mesh are
exceedingly dainty with trimmings of fine
white laces, and mounted over self-col
ored slips of soft silk. They are the
newest form Of the lingerie frock in
Paris this year.
While the smartest fashions are natural
ally those to be seen at the select sum-
mer resorts in the mountains and along
the Atlantic Coast where New York s
fashionables congregate to filter away
the summer days and nights in an endless
round of sports, teas, bridge parties, din
ners and hops, the shops on the other
hand afford the stay-at-homes and vis-
itors to the great metropolis opportunity
for keeping abreast of everything new In
the way Of novelties.
The backwardness of the summer has
kept worsteds-serges and fine novelty
suitings, panamas and veilings-and the
fashionable English mohairs IN strong de-
mand. The weather Of the past month
has been too unreasonable for anything
but suits of these materials for street
wear, and as a consequence those smart
linen and pique suits, simply and
smartly tailored like the worsteds, or
trimmed with braidings or appliques Of
handsome laces or embroideries, will have
an unusually short season, for we have
tired of worsteds and are now wearing
white or light colored linens and piques
to the exclusion of those light summer
serges heretofore so popular. Mohairs,
however, continue in high favor-they
are 80 attractive in this years soft silky
weaves and smart patterns.
Striking novelties In millinery make
their appearance in exclusive shops along
the avenue from day to day. Lingerie eff
fects are particularly attractive, so en-
tirely different are they from what we
have become accustomed to since one
clever girl took to wearing her small SIS
ter's wash embroidery hat and all big
sisters did likewise. Strange how fashions
are born sometimes, isn't It?
Hats with lingerie and lace crowns and
leghorn, chip or neapoitan brims and
trimmed with huge bows of lace or rib
bon are classed as lingerie novelties,
while the lace covered and ruched pana-
mas are extreme, indeed.
The cloche or bell grows larger with
each succeeding week, or so 1t seems, for
1t is no unusual thing to see one of these
shapes of such q size that when posed
smartly on the elaborately coiffed head
the edge of the back brim touches the
shoulders. This, Of course, represents the
most extreme size of this particular shape
worn In the most extreme fashion.
The short front sailor has without warn
ing turned itself about and the huge
ribbon bow OF soft ribbon loops which
once weighted the wide back brim is now
smartly wired or corded and posed on
the centre front of the crown, the wide
loops almost covering the wide front
brim. This new short back sailor is as
becoming as that Of other days, and 1t Is
expected that this is the model which
will open the Fall millinery season.
