NEW YORK, Aug. 22-The forecast
of autumn colors shows that blue is
in the lead The greenish and the
blush greens will be very fashionable
Peacock blues, some light shades and
some deep are most attractive. And
then come the cloudy blues, the grayish
blues and slaty blues, blues with sug-
gestion of lavender and those of the
electric hue. The Gobelin blues are
liked and the old navy is never taken
from the list. So numerous are the
different shades of brown that tins
color will find favor during the next
season. Cedar showing reddish tones
will be leading shade Brown more
than any other color needs most careful
selection because with certain complex
ions it is very unbecoming. Greens will
share honors with the blues partly be.
cause they are so often combined. 1el-
lowish tones in the greens will be no
tlceaDle. heuS are Always dlllaS
for coouer days and we are shown gar
net, terra Gotta, wine. old rose and Its
ashes. Grays are much liked and the
heliotrope, wistaria and plum colors
are modish.
There are no conspicuous shades
among the new colors; they are all
soft.
1t has been for many seasons the cor
rect style to wear a belt matching
ones skirt but now, fashion says a
white belt should be worn with a
white waist whatever the color of the
skirt may be. For the slender girl
belt matching the skirt does very well
but for the woman who is the least
bit stout, it shortens her waistline and
makes her appear even stouter. Let her
choose shaped or bias belt which will
be more becoming than a wide one or
a girde. A stitched belt made of the
material like the skirt, cut very mar
row and fitted smoothly in good
style and is becoming to many. A
wide girdle of ribbon is pretty for the
slender girl to wear with a thin frock.
When raised slightly in the back in
Empire style the effect is little more
charming.
The modish lingerie blouse of sheer
batiste, null or lawn in delicate color
ing is particular favorite of the Pari-
sian. The tailored shirt waste of col
ored linen of madras are not as popu-
lar as they once were, but it is of
ten seen with the sleeves fiat on the
shoulders like those on mans shirt.
see the note of color in the material
itself or in the embroidery. Waists of
the simple, tailored models should be
made of fine, sheer goods because thcS
beauty of plain waist lies in the
quality of the material and they should
be Just as dainty in their way as the
hand embroidered waists are in their.
Colored blouses in a coarse material
lose all their smartness, and are even
less desirable than white ones of coarse
finish The sleeves are much smaller
than in seasons before and there is
little or no shirring where the cuff
joins the sleeve. Many are finished
with tucks stitched upward from the
cuff top. The cuffs are fastened with
tiny pearl buttons and loops or button
holes and they must fit the wrist snug
ly.
There was never such variety in
ha, decoration as there has been the
last few seasons. The flowers seen on
the midsummer hats are the most per
fact limitations of thesoe growing in
fields, orchards, and old-fashioned
flower gardens. Apple blossoms and
cherry with sometimes the fruit-clov-
ers daisys, jasamine, lilies of the val
ley, moss roses, clematis and others
too numerous to mention. Some of the
