NEW YORK, Sept. 49, Often ycr
meet on the street, or at some social
gathering a woman who holds youi
attention BY her distinction Of being
well dressed. The more you admire
the more you ind yourself unable t
point exactly TO the thing that wins
your admiration In fact. it Is no one
thing, but clever harmonization o.
many things, that give her dress per
fiction. So skllfully has the woman
arranged and combined the various
details Of her costume that they al
merge into a superb effect Of oneness
the whole.
The vast array of accessories fol-
fall wear will give every woman ample
opportunity to use her cleverness ant
to prove to her own qualification thai
a mastery Of details means solution
Of the eternal problem of effective
dressing.
"Colors," writes Mrs. Osborn, "arf
to be unusually striking this season
Some excellent browns have been in
troduced. Chinese blue and Bordeau'
red are in high favor, as well as sons
dellcately beautiful tints in amethyst
and gray-green effects. And purplel
So fashionable is It to be that l feal

season of IT.
"Flowers will reign this fall in gas
profusion-some new ones, too. PEG

latest, thing in the artificial flower

One might devote a whole chapter
on the alluring show of fall wells
They run the whole scale Of every
shade. weight and design imaginable
in chiffon, lace or gauze, with exquis
tie borders and occasional dainty pat
terms on the face. The large, bold de-
signs covering the face are no longer
favored.
The autumn colffures are tobe more
elaborate than ever-veritable sym
phonies of false hair. Puffs,, curls,
rolls and switches are to be employ.

Widespread vogue. The principle
back of this vogue-for there is
principle back Of all things fashiona'
bic, even false aair-is that the hair
should be made 10 follow the form Of
the hat, fill out or fall in according

There has been one marked change
in regard to hosiery fashion-lacy
openwork is no longer desirable, be
ing replaced by the plain mesh. These
plain stockings Of silk or Isle are Of
tine gauziest texture and are more oft
en- than not mornamented. There
are, however, some beautiful embroid
cries shown in delicate flower pat
terms for those whose preferences are
along such lines.
For the coming season the plated
skirt will no doubt continue, but with
a declining favor. Its popularity has
been tremendous and it can't disap
pear in moment; but Enthusiastically
the new gored skirt will be worn not
a little. These circular gored skirts
are very graceful and really economi
cal, as all your material is utilized in
the cutting.
The coats are yerw attractive for
the fall. The effects are tighter

much, and one of the strongest fea'
lures for autumn in trimmings will be
braid effects. Then there are also
the 4ght-ftang short jackets with
Gibson effects and many variations
Of the Prince Chap as well as cuta-
ways, redingotes and box coats- in
fact, cat fashions were never more
attractive and varied.
The long wraps to wear with more
elegant costumes are this season I'M
