WHAT ONE WRITER HAS
TO SAY ABOUT FASHIONS

The autumn figure for America will
still be the slim. straight form to which
I'VE have become accustomed, though
some OF the dressmakers are threatens
: ing to go back to the old fashioned nat
! ural curves.
Most of the costumers have returned
to the short WASTED effects, while 9TH
ers again adhere to the straight un-
broken line from neck to- knee, ac-
cording to what they are pleased to call
the Mefovingian style. In some cases
/ this straight line is broken by band
OF fur or trimming just below the hips.
or the frock liz made OF two materials
OF the same color; the one for the bod
ice and long hip yoke. the other for the
short skirt.
It is safe to say that we shall still
see the trnic of last spring, made of
wolfe or chiffon or some other gauZy
material but now il is much shorter,
cut Off just below the curve of the hip
and the waist line is higher UP imme-
diately below the bust
Sleeves for evening wear are to be
short and tight, those for day wear
long and tighter still. The long gloves
will once more be in general use for
afternoon as well as for evening cos
tunes The long sleeves will be most
generally used for street or morning
wear.
Revival of Serge.
Among the decided novelties is cloth
I backed satin, to be used for tailor
made. suits, trimmed with fur. A beau
tiful French design shows a tailored
costume with short Jacket and tight
skirt of brown satin, with a deep bor-
der of electric seal Of the same color.

semi fitting. The separate cat is al

Vogue for Black Velvet.
