Those who predicted that the vogue
of stripes would end with the summer,
that the craze was too violent one to
last, are proven false prophets, by the
great and increasing demand for striped
materials as the season advances. Ger
tain especially smart combinations, as
Paquin blue and black In half inch
stripes, and pinkish hello with black, and
blue violet and black, brought In by the
high class importing houses were sold
out to the custom tailors almost as soon
as they were through the customs. The
stripes are wider than those of spring,
and there are splendid patterns In I'M
even stripings that are distinctly new
and high class.

old things The even y inch checks in
blue and black that thirty years ago
were counted just the thing for the

this season and are being made up into
smart coat suits for misses and young
ladies. This line OF goods comes also in
wine and black and a rich green with
black.
Dress patterns in checks and stripes
with wide border are shown In the
best shops as the very smartest Of the
smart. Their price,-s5o the pattern, -
will prevent their becoming common at
any rate. Some Of them are heavy chev-
lots, SO coarse they resemble blankets.
Others are of broadcloth, and others, the
best appearing of ALL are medium weight
worsteds. The broadcloths. while Of
pleasing surface, give a rather harsh eff

raised velvet patterns in blocks or stripes,

cluster OF three, and adding two to

The Japanese Adaptations.
There seems to be practically no end
to the possibilities of the Japanese XII
mono, the Chinese mandarin coat and
priestly robes in feminine fashions. New
and clever ideas are worked out every
day with these as the basis, and all are so
clever as to meet with ready recognition
Of their artistic beauty. Sometimes 1t
Is the cut Of the garment which gives it
Its individuality, and again it is the dis
position of trimmings.
Trimmings.
Trimmings are unusually handsome this
year Rich laces, exquisite hand en-
broideries, and all sorts of pendant orna-
ments of lace and cord add to the beauty
of mode and material The simplicity of
many models is their chief charm, the
materials and trimmings being such that
to develop them successfully is to use
them simply and artistically.
Evening Automobile Wraps.
Since many women motor to the opera
or ball nowadays, auto garments for
evening must necessarily breath an air
of dressiness along with their practi-
cability. Such wraps are more often on
cloak lines, for the cape does not give
the protection necessary for auto wear
The sleeves in these, like all evening
coats. are large and set into exag-
gerated armholes with few or no gath
ers. Paquin's auto coat model this sea-
son, made of a dark green skibo serge,
has been successfully copied by American
designers in beautiful satiny surfaced
broadcloths of such colors as bloneine
and the various shades of tan running
up into champagne. How well 1t is liked
may be judged from the number of direct
copies and adaptations which have al
ready been seen.

lines Of the figure but shows of the
