The first mission of the practical runabout costume is warmth without undue weight. For this reason the me- dium heavy serges and cheviots intro duced for the autumn suits chiefly but which may comfortably be worn the year round, are rapidly coming into favor. Black in these materials ia rarely selected save by women in mourning, for the grays, dark blues greens. bronze browns and dull reds, shed the dust more readily and if they fade at all, it is not to noticeable extent, This season mixed effects are the novelty and smart skibo serge, which is a Scotch mixture in serge weave, is being used for many of the smartest walking suits. The tailored girl of the autumn is quite as much in favor of severely simple lines as is the -garbed man. She will have no ruff1es, no elaborate braidings, no superfuities that will entangle them- selves in projections or require con- stant repair Tn word, the tailored girl has adopted a businesslike type of costume, whether or not she is in bus mess. But, despite the quakerish sim pliciy of the practical runabout suit careful attention is bestowed upon it's cut, stitching and finish, and especially upon the hang of the skirt, which is short enough to prevent it's volumin- ous plaits or gores impeding walking but not so short as to unduly expose the ankles when the wind blows strongly.
 Plaited walking skirts have not gone out and there is no indication that they will disappear for the next six months, but the change in their arrangement is noticeable, for in the newest skirts the boxes are set wider apart and flare away from rather wide panels. The strictly tailored plaited skirts show scarcely any trimming and in most instances several rows of ' stitching above the hem is deemed quite sufficient, although occasionally a narrow row of Hercules or fancy silk braid is used in lieu of stitching or waving line of soutache.
 Gored or godet skirts are fighting for favor and, besides being naturally lighter in weight, have all the good points of the plaited skirt, as they flare broadly about the feet, fl smoothly about the hips and may readily be made to hang perfectly They are greatly liked by the st2ui woman, who imagines that ever stitched down plalts add to the ap- parent bulk about her hips.
 A 0ne-piece frocks, which are prin cess gowns, though the blouse ant skirt are constructed separately anC then joined by means of an attached girdle or belt, are being made up ex tensiyely in those lightweight woo and silk materials, which are pretty as we'll as inexpensive, and so closet. woven as not to require a silk lining Most of them are not elaboratel. trimmed, especially if of foulard ant other figured fabrics, and when tn plain cashmeres, veilings and sed silks are used bias bands piped witt black or a contrasting color or witt fancy silk braid are all that is neces sary for trimming. one-piece frock usually have rather full skirts that ar gored slightly and their fullness f1nel plaited into the waisthand and the stitchel down flatly for several inches Sometimes these skirts have panel
