The daily sentinel., 1908-09-10

The woman of no figure, created
along the architectural lines of a
beanpole, will find the new model a
blessing, and may discard the pads
and other accessories with which she
has built up" her figure. For the
plump sister, conformity to the
straigh style will net
be so easy. There will have to be
many readjustments and much lacing
and discarding of surplus under
garments to secure the desired effect.
This new note though, means
complete change in certain parts of
the feminine wardrobe, and combina-
tion undergarments must be provided
with care, but the designers are max
ing all sorts of patterns and changes
to meet the new need.
The new fall fabrics are not gen.
orally on exhibition as yet, but from
all signs one of the most popular
fabrics for the autumn suit is serge,
soft, pliable, with finish almost as
beautiful as silk. For the street a
dull finished serge will be worn and
many are shown with chevron and
herrin-bone weaves. There is a serge
that is well adapted for more dressy
wear, with lustrous surface, soft
enough TO cling and pliabie enough
for folds and, draperies.
OF course, broadcloths are to be
worn and the chiffon qualities are
likely to be much used for dressy
costumes for matinees and calling
and for day receptions.
There is every indication that all
the popular silks of the summer will
be worn during the coming season
for the house at least, and the heavy
weight pongee varieties for the street.

depend more upon an extra piece of
underwear or the outside cloak for
warmth rather than heavy weight
clothes. Summer styles for the past
few years have spoiled us, and .he
white shirtwaist habit has made
heavy waists unbearable.
New hats for the autumn and win
ter have made their appearance at all
the millinery stores and departments
and are attracting the usual amount
of feminine attention and admiration.
Inc shape is very similar to those
shown through the summer, but the
material is new, rep silk covered
frames. A sailor modified in shape,
with very short droop in the back,
raised little at the sides and
straight in front was covered with
green rep silk of rather dull dark
shade, enlivened with a breast and
two long wings in golden brown tints
are extremely fashionable. A hat of
this sort would be in good style if
worn with {. green and brown foulard
and brown cloth jacket. Brown ac-
cessories such as shoes. stockings and
gloves would accompany the cos
tune.
A second example OF these new
hats was of blue silk, small in shape
and turned up at the left side, fold
of the rep silk encircled the crown,
and from beneath a huge mother of
pearl buckle, showing gray and pink
tints. sprang long dropping gray
quills having pink centers.
The costume worn with the hat
was of blue serge. consisting of prin-
cess skirt and cutaway Jacket,
guimpe of cream net, and a cretone
vest showing pink and blue in its
pattern. Gray gloves, blue umbrel-
la, gray spats and purse went to
make up the tout ensemble.
A close-fitting little turban, long
in shape from back to front, was
black in color, laid in folds and orna-
mented with a buckle and with
wings that stood almost upright At
