II on has to buy al autumn suit 10Y ant it is the fashion, to d o So thu
choice should be a moderate n coat and a short plated skirt It IS time to
purchase the winter suit when winter comes
There Is something about the first touch of cool weather that demands a
coat of som kind: not for warmth, but for looks. 1t nay be IF linen or of heavy
cotton rep but it is a coat and 1T looks correct o. the train. in the troheys and
in III shops Its only rival is a smart ne-pieoe gown of dark and good
material

est weight The smfacefs rough and slightly hairy n there is usually a
stripe. a woven plaid effect OF a wide vale running through it diagonaiy.
Even trips Of different color from the surface ares allowed. an a bias thread
of black is frequent AM fashionable.
The coors are green, preferred with dull red coming next. After this are
blue. amethyst brown. Gray, with a hair line of black. is very much in

kt cloth, which has alternate blocks of garnet n black Everyone seems tic

plaits are irregular paneied and placed at different depths around the hip
line. Even viii. this funess introduced there mus be nc Hare at the hem. The
