straight up and down as mere men. All
! rho allurinC curves and the attractive
nlumpness OF bygone days are under
i the taboo of fashion. The editorial ce-
claration of Mr. Brisbane that women

| the part" has been disregaroeu 1niS
much is shown by the advance exnlpi-
lions of the modistes. The tunlc, the
semi princess and empire modes nave
succumbed to the edict of fashion ana
are now being built in the manner ap-
proved by the current fad.
/ The woman of no figure, created
along the architectural lines OF bean
/, pole, will find the new mode blessing
and may discard the pads and other ac-
cessories with which she has built up
her figure. For the plump sister, con-
formity to the straight-up and down
STYLE will 1ot be so easy. There will
have to be many readjustments ana
much lacing and discarding of surplus
undergarments to secure the desired
effect.
This new note though, means COM

feminine wardrobe, and combination
undergarments must be provided Win
care, but the designers are making 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 Fab
RIGS for the autumn suit is serge, soft,
pliable. with a finish almost as beauti-

ished serge will be worn and many are
shown with chevron and herrin-bozne
weaves There is a serge that is well
adapted for more dressy wear, with
lustrous surface soft enough to cling
and pliable enough for folds and dra-
peries.
OF course. broadcloths are to be
worn and the chiffon qualities are like

| 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. The
trimming alone will be of heavier,
richer style; for today women depend
more urOn an extra piece of underwear

than heavy weight clothes. Summer
styles for the past few years have
spoiled U.S. and the white shirtwaist
habit has made heavy waists unbear-
able. st tfl II
i 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.
The shape is very similar to those
shown through the summer, but the
material is new, rep silk covered
frames. \ sailor modified in shape,
with very short iroop in the back,
raised a little at the sides and
straight in front was covered with
! green rep silk of a rather dull dark
shade, enivened with breast and two
long wings in golden brown tones that
fairly cover each side. 1t may be said
right here that golden brown tints are
extremely fashionable. A hat of this
sort, would be in good style if worn
| with a green and brown foulard and
brown cloth jacket. Brown accessories
such as shoes, stockings and gloves
would accompany the costumes.
A second example of these new hats
was of blue silk. small in shape and
turned up at the left side, a fold of the
rep silk encirclad the crown. and from
beneath a huge mother of pearl buckle.
