THE MODES OR AUTUMN.

| and white effects. From the looks of
the shop windows where autumn
modes are beginning TO make an ap-
pearance and also from reports re-
ceived from the fashion marts OF
Paris, London and Vienna. 1t is GER

bination OF Old favorltes is only be-
| ginning.
| In a sense it is practically a new
vogue, for we have a wonderful sup
| ply Of new fabric for fall frocks. re-
| gardless of the occasion. The tailor
house, reception, dinner and theater
gowns will all appear in a wider va
riety OF fabrics than ever. Many are
! familiar favorites glorified by the
latest achievements Of the manufac-
turers art and dignified by new
names, invariably French, but in most
instances the fall materials are rea-
sonably priced and the average wo-
man with an ambition to be well
dressed will be able to realize her
aimss in this direction. :.
The checked and striped fabrics
are going to score heavily, whether
/
All of the seasons best fabrics show
these patterns. They lend themselves
to combinations with the new shades
of color, of which there are about a
dozen Questionable ones, of which
mention will be made later.
Trimmed, too, with their own ma
| terials, these new checked and strip
ed effects are delightfully."- smart. One
of the most successful little frocks
for semi-dressy wear comes from
Paris, developed in black and white
silk 1t is pattern easily duplicated
in the less expensive fabrics and
boasts no trimmings beyond bands of
its own. The skirt. which is walking
length has two frills at the bottom,
! but instead of being gagged they are
/ laid in narrow side plaits. Each frill
| is headed with a narrow fold of the
goods.
Bias folds, stitched around the
skirt and bodice, where they are
| joined, serve the dual purpose of bolt
I and bodice trimmings and there are
| shaped bands stitched over the
shoulders to further embellish the
model.
Many OF these new frocks embody
styles that have been seen through
the summer and given new touches to
make them answer the requirements
for a new seasons modes. Particu-
lsrly smart is a model made of two
tone striped material, with plain cloth
the color OF one Of the tones. The
plain cloth makes up the front panel
Of the skirt and the deep band at the
/ bottom all around. The gown is Of
| princesse style. the front panel being
broken only by the odd cross-over
! jacket effect, which is of the stripe,
and which makes the sides and back
of the skirt to the deep band in
sort of long-coat semblance. The hips
( have a satin band outlining jacket
| length, and the same bands outline
the cross-over fronts of the jacket
and trim the long sleeves. The deep
V of the yoke is filled with shirred
chiffon of the color of the plain ma
terial over white and the shallow
yoke above il is white lace.
Among the most charming of the
new styles are frocks of soft materials
IN dainty new colors exploiting the
minuet bodice combined with the pam
| ell front. Asperge, which is a beau
tiful new shade of green looks well
in satin voile. A frock for afternoon
wear in asperge satin voile has the
| bodice cut after the pointed effects
| of the minuet days, but instead Of
ending in sharp points at the waist
| line back and front, the points extend
| in narrow panels. The sides OF the
skirt are gauged to hang full from
the hips to the floor, the gaugings be-
| ing held in here and there with bias
| folds of the dress material piped with
| narrow folds of black satin. The up
! per part of the bodice is cut out to
| accommodate a guimpe of delicate
green chiffon tucked and edged with
bands of soft black satin. The little
yoke is of bebe crochet lace.
A second gown of striking effect
is made in Russo blue silk nuns veil
ing. The bodice is gauged about the
waistline where it Is attached to the
| upper part and the yoke is simply
outlined with very elegant embroid-
| cry. The bottom of the skirt is cut
in deep points, held in rather closely,
but by no means to the proportions of
hobble lines, and stitched to a deep
| band of plain satin.
A number of very successful frocks
! for dinner and theater wear are made
over striped and checked silks, while
others, equally de rigeur are of thin
striped smokegrey tone is made over
ibis pink satin and has a guimpe and
| undersleves of dull gold net with an
! edge of Sovres blue satin. This is
worn with hat in Leghorn blue sat
in trimmed with blue feathers.
In hats there is a host of new
shapes, many of which have wide
brims turning up sharply against the
crown all around, though higher at
one point than at another This
highest point is very frequently at
the back, the width of the brim less
ing toward the front; and the crown,
plain or draped, usually follows the
same lines, sloplng forward toward
| the back.
AS black is shown upon frocks and
wraps, white is often introduced up
on the new modes in millinery. This
! gives a little relief from the prevail
| ing note of sombreness without de-
tracing from the piquant simplicity
toward which Dame Fashion has set
