Mannish Materials for Suits
slenderness In effect is the dominant note
OF all the winter styles in coats and suits
There are many variations in cut, fit. finish
and collars but the general effect is towards
long. slender lines. Such trimmings as is
applied, and this consists mainly of fancy
or plain braids, Is also arranged to further
slenderness OF effect The corsets. the un.
derclotning and even Jersey-topped petit
coats. are SO cut as to make mlady look
svelte
In the main skirts are short and narrow
WIN the waist line in the natural location.
Although traces of the ''hobble" fad remain
II Is In the modified form Some of the
skirts are banded but the real "hobble"
style Is minus quantity. Plated skirts
are much to the fore
Great use has been made of rough and
semi-rough materials for suts-productive
or the MANN1SH effect. Cheviots serges
hop-sackings. baskets, tweeds diagonals and
worsteds, mixtures In which there are fecks
OF color on gray, green, blue, brown and
black grounds. all are seen In the new
lines.
The short jaunty jacket has the present
call and is from 80 to SO inches. The ma
jority OF the models are either or Shut
ton. and are semi-fitted. Sleeves are close
and long. and some have a slight fulness
over the point OF the shoulder, but ultra
dressers prefer the mannlsh sleeve
for ctr
and auto wear the mannsh materials pre-
vail. in the same general colors as the suits.
Cheviots. homespuns, blanket and reversible
coatings are employed. They are semi-itted,
some with shawl collar. and others with
sailor collar. An attractive model Is a gray
diagonal stripe full length, semiitted,
sailor collar faced with Copenhagen blue

silver buttons For evening wear, the long
cape has the preference and Is shown in
lavender, pink rose, blue, white and black.
Persian Favored for Trimming
Gowns tor wear with separate coats closely
follow the figure show waist lines In some
instances well above the normal line, and
have snug sleeves and colarless necks. In
the main, skirts are round length and mar
row. Sleeves are mostly of the peasant
type when short. Yokes, guimpes and half
sleeves are OF lace, net chiffon or mousse
line for dressy gowns, while the dress trim
mings show preponderance of Persian
bands and braids. Colored effects in silk
bead Or metallic embroidery, with some
gold and silver garniture, are much in evil
dence. The gowns for evening are built OF
chiffon, net, satin and velvet. while the dress
for more practical wear comes In serge,
chiffon. panama and other modish materials.
The separate waist is shown in taffeta,
satin mossaline. chiffon, in solid colors to
match the suits.
Panamas, heavy basket weaves, Scotch
tweeds and smooth suitings OF various
classes have the call this fall-the coarse
mannish effect predominating-in colors
similar to the suits Poplins are leaders for
dressy wear and also tussah royal-a crepe

one OF the most fashionable colors this fall.
Two-tone effects or changeable silks are
popular again. both In taffeta weaves and In
the satin finish messalnes, peau de cygne
and palette de sole. For evening wear, mar
quisettes draped over high colors or Per-
SLAMS are shown. Besides there are the
