Pointers to the Women on What to
Wear and How to Wear It.
Skirts will be decidedly short and as
narrow around the bottom as is con-
sstent with comfortable walking. OF
course there will he seen the woman
who always takes to the extreme in
everything. The hobble skirt is cut Of
fashion. Anything that ties the skirt
in, is utterly unstylish, but the skirt
ITSELF by it's own cut, is excessively
narrow. one can manage To walk in
it, but to run is impossible.
The fashionable coat suit is to be
short. The coat being about twenty
six, or twenty eight inches long, and
a half fitting style showing the middle
shoulder seams. both back and front,
or one suggesting the bOX-cOat will br
the favorite styles. Sleeves will follow
the long. straight tendencies and will
he put into the armhole about as plain
as are the sleeves in mans coat.
Besides being shortwaisted, the ma
jority of tailored coats are double
breasted, many of them buttoning over
so far at the side, that the fastening -
quite under the arm. From there the
overlapping side is cut sharply away,
which gives quite a jaunty air to the
garment.
All collars and revers are huge and
the majority of the collars as yet are
square at the back. TO have the Ia
pels cover the entire front of the coat
and extend over onto the sleeves is
quite the thing.
OF the materials used for coat suits,
vclvets of several kinds-plain, strip
ed, shot or plaided-tweed and mixed
woods seem to be the most popular.
Corduroy and velveteen are leading
materials for girls suits, and the cor
duroy especially is one of the most
practical fabrics for hard wear. Many
of these suits have coats of Russian
style and very short skirts.
In colors there are some new shades
which have become very popular, and
which will he mostly used during the
winter. There is a shade of brown
with a tinge of violet. which is unusu-
ally soft and attractive. 1t combines
perfectly with the numerous shades of
red so popular for trimming.
AS always. blues are fashionable.
Twilight blue" is a new color and is
dark with a grayish tone over it's sur
face.
Red, real red has come to the front
for tailored costumes this season, and
in all the large establishments is
shown extensively.
Tunics this season are much used,
and are mostly of transparent mate
rials Most of them are embroidered
and many Of them with fine beads OF
the same color. one of these tunics
was of dark rich blue and was yelled
with orange chiffon. this suggested the
popular oriental colOring.
Waist lines seem to have gone up
this season. In evening gowns the high
belt, especially in the back prevails. 1t
may he stated here, that the small
waist is out of fashion. The figure of
the moment is hipless and waistless,
with a gentle slope outward toward
the shoulders and an equally gentle one
toward the feet. About the hips all
gowns are as tight as they can be made,
and of course, skirts that are only
yard or two around the bottom cannot
show a great amount Of spreading out.
Many evening frocks are about three
or four inches from the ground.
The collarless and Dutch neck are
still popular, hut one finds the high
guimpe much in evidence, not only in
morning frOcks but afternoon frocks
as well. Sometimes a plain guimpe OF
black or colOred chiffon is used with
second guimpe of cream or metallic
lace, everything the chiffon below the
base Of the throat.
The big collar is one Of the distinc-
tive features of the seasons modes,
and no type of frock is safe from it. 1t
shows a marked Directoire tenden-
cy, but it by no means confines itself
to definitely Directoire lines.
The kimonO sleeve is used in every
thing except the actual shirtwaist.
one Of the new kimono gowns is
made of Persian nannelette and is
trimmed with borders of the same ma
terial. IL has a large sailor collar and
long sleeves.
Wide velvet scarfs bordered with
fur are new. They are used in the
way with the tasselled
ends falling straight at the front.
Narrow fringe, especially a little
ball fringe of jet, pearl, crystal, steel,
etc, is used a great deal to border the
sheer tunic or bodice.
A turban that will fold fiat in a suit
case without injury is new in the mil
linery department. The turhan is drap-
cd on a flexible frame that shapes it
self to the head.
Among llt smart lI'N bbplS di'
some made of brown ooZe calf, cut
with extra height and finished with
fourteen pearl buttons of the same col
or. The tops are slanted. and the heels
are the high Spanish kind.
Suede belts are crushed into wide
leather covered buckles at the front
and long ornaments of the same kind
at the back. These are new in the belt
line.
4 shirrcd chiffon scarf made of two
tones of chiffon, one over the other,
makes pretty scarf for evening wear.
Next tu fur, braid is pre- eminently
the trimming Of the year. and never
have there been more beautiful and
gorgeous hraids seen than now.
The hair dressing styles for fall and
winter are strongly inclined To the
youthful modes. Every where curls
rule. The crown of the hair is sur
mounted with puffs and curls. with
ringlcts falling over the temples and
