the heat of summer lessens, as soon as the days begin to shorten and peo- pie begin to return to their usual task of the year, women begin to look about them and inquire what are the fashions to be this fall and winter. It is early as yet for those functions that require the more elaborate gowns, but there is one gown that the majority of women will buy as soon as possible; it is the walking tailor-made suit. This fad, for fad it has become, if the tailor made suit is one of the salient features of the fall fashions, but it is a fad that contains all the essentials of permanency
 There are two kinds of tailor made costumes. The one for morning wear or business purposes only, whose chief characteristic is severe plain ness; and the other more elaborate and very often of the three piece mod el intended for church, calling, the restaurant dinner or theater wear.

A good many of these new models were inspected recently upon their arrival from the foreign and American makers.
 The ''Troteur" or side-wall skirt as it is called mad the man tailored fin ish in the jacket is the fashion for the severe tailor made suit, which to be quite up to date should be develop ed in one of the new worsteds that come in plaids, checks, broken or un- broken and stripes as we'll as the

Copenhagen, which looks like the blue nattier blue are to be much used as well. The browns are still to be used; ruset, mahogany and all the leather shades. Forest green and the bronz- y: yer and mouse gray were seen in two imported gowns, as we'll as in one in Bordeaux red and fourth in rose. But for the severe tailor suit the blues, mouse gray and dull browns are most in favor by the well-dressed women. Of course, black is always in favor with many women and is es- pecially conspicuous where trimmings are used. The brighter and more, highly patterned fabrics will be more generally used by the first makers for the afternoon costumes. a

The skirt must be short so that it escapes the ground nywherea from three to six inches, four being the usual length. Though they may be plaited, kilted, Or boX-plaited the plaits must be car ried until past the hips for small hips are the fashion and it behooves every woman to at least gain the effect It is better that the short woman should have her skirts plain plaited, but she who' is tall of figure may have her skirts trimmed with three bands, the lower forms the hem, which model is frequently seen in imported models.
 A drop skirt is necessity, made either of taffeta, moreen or mohair trimmed with one or more silk ruff fies or plaitings, and this skirt should be as carefully fitted to the figure as the outer skirt. If the goods of the outer skirt should be of a thinner ma terial than serge an underSkirt of satin vii set better than one of silk; but for service the heavier fabrics are the better choice for winter. The jacket for this costume may be one of two styles.
