strips and buttoned and stitched to-
gether with an effect which is posi-
lively ravishing-when fresh from an
excellent tailor. Just how successful
some of these creations will be when
reproduced by the less skillful modiste
remains a question.
FROCKs EASY TO MAKE OVER
There is one undoubted feature of
the styles this year which will make
them doubly popular with all women.
That is the possibilities that are Of
fered for making over frocks. Not for
years has there been such a variety of
materials used in a single garment,
and plaids, stripes, plain goods, silk,
cloth lace and fur are combined with
a recklessness which year ago would
almost have condemned the designer
to lunacy commission. This year the
combinations have been introduced
with such fine discrimination that no
one may cavil, and the woman who
has saved party dresses, opera wraps
and last years suits may put them all
together, get couple Of yards of veil
ing or net and evolve an absolute imi-
tation of the latest Partisan creation.
Wraps, hats and the fashionable
scarfs, not quite new perhaps, but still
tremendously popular, may also be
modelled from left-cyers, and since two

yard or so of fur and a feather or so
will do for hat, one can but admit
that even If trifie unusual in effect,
the present fashions are chic and with
out doubt admit of more economy than
any recent styles.
Certainly If 1t is possible to make
over last years froeks to fit the pres
ent NODES even the most skillful OF
economists will have trouble in finding
any use for the frocks of this year
when their term of service is over.
So cut up and short are all the pieces
that not enough VIII remain when the
winter is done to make any alteration
possible.
ALL MATERIALS USED
Almost any material may be used
with good effect this year if it is at
hand, but If one is purchasing new
goods then either basket WeaVes in
solid colors or in two-tone effects are
to be selected. Speaking Of materials,
a recent Partisan letter in lie Bon Ton
and lie Moniteur de la Mode says:
"The basket WeaVeS show exception
ally good combinations. Among them
is one with a dark green ground inter
woven with a small conventional t1g-
ure in light grayish or lichen green;
another is of dark wine color ana
black, purple iris and black and brown
and tan are also popular. one tone paS-
ket weaves in khaki color, sulphur yell
low and castor color are extremely
modish Fine woods in cashmere and
broche designs are being shown. They
are quaint and odd and the colorings
in many of them are decidedly artlstlc,
being reminiscent of the cashmere and
broche shawls of an earlier century.
Scotch plaids are to have their innings
this autumn, and many of the clans
are represented in the display. The
brilliant Rob Roy, with its bold plaid
of red and black. is especially pretty
for box or side plated skirts for young
girls and misses to be worn with jack
cts of dark red or black. For older girls
and young matrons there are the Cor
dam and Argyle and hosts of others,
softly plaided in blue and green and
barred with white, yellow or red. Plalt-
ed skirts of this material worn with
Jackets of plain blue or green are es-
peciaIly fetching.
