NEW YORK FASHIONS.
By EDITH RAYMOND.

New York. Aug. 24-After spending
from six to eight weeks in Paris and
other fashion centers abroad, the
American designers are now turning
their way toward this country. and
each day the arrival of some of the
leading cutting-up designers affords
opportunities to get first-hand infor-
nation as TO styles on the continent.
Ihe large western cloak and suit buy
ers, who are in this market getting ad-
ditional early fall merchandise. are
making careful inquiry from the new
~ arrived visitors to Paris as TO the
style tendencies, and they find that the
tailored suit stands out prominently
as the feature for fall.
At the outset of every season the
careful buyers try to determine what
color is to predominant. as colOrs play
prominent part in the success of the
lines in made-up garments This year
II is generally believed that purple in
a variety of shades will be a strong
feature, and royal purple is declared to

shown extensively in New York in
ribbons. millinery and in costumes.
As the delivery of fall merchandise
is now under way, especially in the
separate skirts and lightweight street
costumes, 1t is shown that staples are
holding up well with the manufacture
ers of medium grade garments. The
strongest call for fall is on the tailor
made suits. 1t seems that every buy
er In the market is glad to inspect
novelties In fancy costumes, but place
most of business on staples and the
tailored garment figures more con-
sPicuously than any other in the or

In separate coats the full showing
OF styles for fall is before the trade,
and the one novelty that creates a IA
Vorable impression with all buyers Is
the Imitation fur coat in short length
and three-quarter length styles. Very
large advance orders have been placed
on the imitation fur styles, and it is
believed that great deal of this BUSH
ness cannot be filed owing to a lack

orders from the cutting-up trade.
Pony coats and the Elton jacket coats
In cloths are also mentioned as popu-

trade. The winter season on furs Is
coming in strong, and especially on
small furs, all handlers of such gar
ments I'm this market reporting larger
orders than were booked last year.
The business in fall waists in cotton.

There are no marked features in the

and nets are two of the strongest
classes of waists shown for fall, and
even the higher priced garments are
selling heavily.
There is already talk in the market
of showing styles of spring lingerie

this year 10 cover their requirements
early enough to be assured of getting
spring supplies in full time.
Although the days are still warm
enough to make the thinnest garments
more or less of necessity, women are
turning their attention to gowns for
the fall season and its attendant fes-
tivities. A remarkable lot of broad
cloths, which Dame Fashion has de-
creed shall be the thing, are being
shown here. Pastel tints are to be
very popular in gowns for afternoon
and evening wear, as well as in coats
and capes. First in the way of plues
is that known as Copenhagen. Its
beauty cannot be adequately described.
CALIFORNIAN green is very attractive
far removed from the myrtle tones and
likely to prove becoming to any wo-
man with even a hint of a complex
ion. The newest pastel shades are cop
per, laurieT, crevette. blondine. pomi-
TO and topaz. The various tints of a
color known of Drelot are rich
For street wear there are browns of
medium tone and light golden shade;
navy blue, of course; a rich deep wine
color. and several lovely olive green's
Some of the newest things in import
ed broadcloths are in stripes and large
platds and every kind is in chiffon
weight. There is no such thing these
days as q heavy broadcioth.
The thin Weaves OF cotton and silk
In delicate colors and patterns are a
wise choice for inexpensive little even
