SMART TAILOR AUTUMN COSTUMES

A New York woman is entertaining New
port with her gowns, which are charming
in design. The prevailing note of a dress
which she wore this week was elephant
gray. with trimmings of ealer shade of
gray The gown itself was a very thin
cloth. in a medium tone of elephant, while
the bands around the foot of the skirt and
around the neck and sleeves were almost
slate in their hue. These bands were
embroidered in blue. A hat In blue and
slate gray topped this very neat bridal
costume.
Pink and gray were the prevailing notes
of costume worn at Newport the other
day. with a tendency toward more gray
than pink. The gown, which might serve
as a model for autumn calling costume
was built of durable wool wolfe, and the
pattern was quite simple. in that it had a
skirt laid in side plaits all pointing away
from the front. while the jacket was a
tight fitting bolero with very wide Japanese
armhoes and very short sleeves. The note
of pink came in the smaller things of the
costume.
Strange as 1t may seem, 1t is true, never
theIess. that the women of wealth, while
as keen after low prices their
poorer sisters. Time was when a society
woman would have scorned to have her
clothing made by any one except a tailor

Fish, Mrs. Aston. Mrs. Goelet of New York
and many others have all their garments

in the ordinary way of cleaning trimmings,
but that piece Of crimson velvet should
be taken and rubbed very slowly and
familiar with the use of black velvet as a
dust cloth for hats and fine black materials,
the fine nap penetrating and carrying away
dust without injury where nothing else
could but what virtue there Is in crimson
velvet aside from its texture, is hard to
guess, but it is possible. of course, that
there may be some effect in the dye used
Queen Sets a Fall Fashion.
The dominant note in the autumn fashion
has been introduced by the most beautiful
princess In Europe, Marie. crown princess
of Roumana.
1t is the Byzantine effect in color, form
and line that every noted dressmaker Is
experimenting with or trying to catch and
impress upon the coming styles and this
tremendous revival of the antique In dress,
color, Jewels, furniture and decoration has
been instigated by the crown princess OF
Roumania.
Whether it was merely a caprice of this
beautiful woman or whether she went about
the work of revving the interest of her
people in the arts Of earlier ages from more
altruistic motives Is immaterial, since the
result has been so far reaching and SO
beneficial to her sex, for she has succeeded
not only in making the autumn styles more
beautiful, but in giving tremendous i'm
petus to the embroidery and lace manu-
facturers of her country.

and as the wardrobes of all are extensive
they have saved hundreds Of dollars each
year. The customers Of the highly ex-
pensive womAn's tailors now are mostly
women the fringe of the social set.
actresses and those who have acquired their
wealth recently.
General Lines the Same.
Tailored costumes, whether light or dark,
are made up on much the same lines. Skirts
are decidedly longer than they were a
year ago, and while some of them are
plain, depending for their smartness upon
cut and finish, others trimmed with
stitched bands or with ppings. Plaits are
deeper and used in many ways. Sometimes
but one deep box plat down the front of
the skirt is used. and the side and back
gored breadths trimmed with bias
bands. Again. the entire skirt may be
laid in deep side plaits. verging toward
a central plat or there may be clusters
of plaits at front and back and plain sides.
Hip length coats and coats extending to
within short distance of the knees are
seen in about equal numbers, and they are
loose semi or tight fitting. trimmed
plain according to the material employed
and the figure of the wearer. While many
of the nattiest tailor mades are absolutely
plain, especially when made up in the
checked and striped materials. in the
smooth-faced cloths bias bands piped or
heavily stitched are frequently used.
Stitched bands Of striped materials may

be made wonderfully effective by making
the lines run diagonally horizontally
around the skirt bottom or over the shout

hip pockets and around the sleeves. But
tons appear conspicuously on some of the
newest serge and cloth costumes, notably
on the half-1tting coats of knee length.
where they define the side seams and run
from the cuff half way to the elbow.
A Fashion Forecast
In sleeves the wrnkled mousquetaire will
be much in evidence, for a time at least,
on new gowns. and the coats for cold
weather will have full length sleeves and
these will find favor. as they are sensible
and the only comfortable mode when Bit
ing winds rage
No matter what the size of ones muff
there is more or less exposure of the wrists
and consequent chill with the three-Quarter
or half length sleeves. For warm weather
they are Ideal. cool and also pretty, so they
will probably come In again for next spring
and summer.
The new plum and purple shades are
to be the leading colors for some weeks
to come but it will not be long before
they will be common and something else
will take their place In the wardrobes of
the modish world. Many OF the plum shades
are well suited to the average complexion
