Description of the
Fashion Photos Above

No. 1-Washerwoman Overskirt.
THIS new. turnedup drapery is called
j both washerwoman and the fish
monger overskirt-both odd appellations
for new style expressed In the most
modish of French frocks. The costume
laveuse, shown here, is built of pome-
granate green mohair, with the crepe
like, lustrous permo finish and little
striped pattern showing in the weave.
The overskirt is tucked up in washer
woman fashion over a petticoat of the
same fabric laid in fine side pleats, a
straight panel extending from waist-line
to hem at the back. The simple, shirred
bodice is one of the coming French
modes The costume is by Drecoll.
No. 2-The Long Partisan Coat.
~ HIS is not, as might first be imagined.
i one of the smart topcoats which
French women are affecting now for street
wear, but is a suit coat, designed for
wear over a frock To match. All the
coats of two and three piece suits are
extremely long, showing !ittl- cf the skirt
beneath. This coat shows also the un-
derarm trimming, ending in huGe.
simulated pocket, which distinguishes
many of the best French models. Tie
material is a new dull green serge. with
braidings in the same color, and the
hat is a Russian shake of green beaver,
with a cockade and feather of the same
color.
No. 3-Two-Piece Suit.
0NE of the best and most exclusive
" Paris types for fall and winter wear
is illustrated in this graceful coat of
butternut brown cheviot. The coat ciings
to without accentuating the lines of the
figure too much, and the large. slanting
pocket set low on the garment is par
ticuarly smart. Though this is a French
model, some of the graceful two-piece
American suits in the princess style
approach very closely the French lines
shown, the slender effect over the hips
and the long, straight French line of the
back being particularly noticeable in the
princess coats.
No. New Belted Coat.
VELVET will supersede satin this sea-
son for costumes of extremely dressy
character. and these rich velvet coats and
frocks are more elaborately trimmed with
braidng and are cut in odd, new shapes.
The Russian caftan or smock is infiu-
encng all dress at the present time. Toll
stoy wore one of these caftans. such as
the Russian peasant wears, beted at the
waist with cords The modish smock or
caftan hangs very loosely and the belt Is
suggested by band of embroidery or
other trimming. This beautiful Russian
coat model by Drecoll is of deep claret-
colored velvet with braidng done in
black.
No. 5-Moyenage Frock.
THE long-waisted princess dresses,
known as Jeanne dare or moyen-
age frocks. are the fall feature in New
York. One of these frocks is shown here
with a satin bodice fitted in unusual
manner by means of seams run over
cordings. Cordings also trim the sleeve
and outline the edge of the bodice where
it joins the killed skirt of satin cloth. A
novel feature is the panel of moire silk
set into the skirt at the front.
No. 6-Velvet and Voile.
TO accompany the Drecoll velvet coat,
! shown in another photograph, this
frock was designed. The bodice and up
per part of the skirt are of voile ninon
laid in pin tucks. and the fiounce is OF
very supple. soft velvet. The arrange
ment of the yoke suggests pannier
drapery. extending below the hip, the
braiding in a border and motif design,
emphasizing this effect There is a great
deal Of the rich braiding on the bodice,
the girdle and shoulder straps being
feature of many of the new frocks. In
the neck opening is set little yoke OF
white Irish lace.
serviceable house dress Is made or
fag-blue linen, trimmed down the center
from neck to hem with straight line OF
soutache. 1t is worn with white en-
broidered Dutch collar.
A rough sea-blue pongee with broken
line of white is very trim in "A tailored
suit The coat can be finished with
handsome lace collar. A military effect
with soutache is chic on a jacket front.
Earliest advices as to fall hats are that
they will be very large, with trimmings
of huge aigrets and enormous flowers.
