THE FALL FASHIONS.
[Harper's Bazaar for November.
New EVENING GOWNS

New EVENING Gowns
The draped surplice waist with short
peasant sleeves, the raised waist-line
simply finished, and the slashed skirt,
revealing a petticoat beneath, either to
the height of ten or twelve inches from
the bottom or from waist-line to hem
these are all seen on the new winter
models.
TUNES of chiffon, over satin founda-
tion are invariably slashed at the sides,
back, and front. These panels are cut
in different lengths at the lower edge,
usually shorter at the sides, and are
weighted with bands of ieweled embroid-
cry, such as is used to trim the entire
bodice
STYLE In SHOES
Among the popular low shoes for
dressy wear at present is the Directoire
slipper 1t comes in patent leather, dull
kid and black satin, and is ornamented
with a square or oval gold or kid buckle
on the instep.
Low shoes promise to be far more
elaborate this year than for some time
past, as the narrow cut skirts and slashed
hens have brought them into more
prominent view. Bronze slippers with
fancy insets of gold on the toe, trimmed
with bronze beads, are in good style, as
are the Directoire and beaded slippers Of
black satin with short vamps.
HAIR ORNAMENTS.
Imitation amber and tortoise-shell pins
and barrettes for the hair, handsomely
studded with brilliants, are now in great
demand, as the fashionable hair dress

Psyche knot dressed high on the head.
calls for both the ornamental pins and
barettes for evening wear. A revival of
the mound or mop hair dressing in a
much more graceful form is noted. The
hair is waved and softly parted at the
left side of the head. The hair is then
coiled and piled high and wide across the
top of the head in becoming and natur-
al way. JeweIed pins and the new
buckle barrette to match are very effect
i've with this hair dressing.
FASHIONS For CHILDREN
With the coming of autumn mother
minds are seriously considering the
problem of the juvenile wardrobe. APP
propriate coats of plain serge, English
worsteds, Scotch mixtures, fur or velvet,
with hats to match, must be selected.
Serge. challie, shepherd check, or mixed
worsted dresses for school wear are in
immediate demand, and even the littlest
child of all, who is still wearing wash
able dresses the year around, must have
new frocks to replace the sun-faded.
play-worn dresses of the summer season.
AS to top-coats and hats, to be
really fashionable this fall, they should
give evidence, in some way, that they
were predestined to be worn together,
The hat of felt is of the same color as
the coat material and trimmed with a
bow of the plain satin or fancy striped
silk used to face the coat revers. Where
the coat is of the popular velvet or plush
material, with braid or fur trimming, or
is made entirely of caracu, the hat is
also made Of velvet or fur, and is
trimmed to match the coat.
TAILORED SUITS
Tailored suits for this fall, while they
differ very little in general lines from
last seasons garments, are, neverthe-
less, showing many unique and novel
trimming features which distinguish
them as new.
Jackets are short. From twenty-eight

invariably cut with TIE full length reg

| the more elaborate models show the
three-quarter sleeve with just the sug-

turn back cuffs, trimmed to match the
revers and collars, are a feature
The semi-ftted coats are cut with
rather straight lines from shoulder to
hips. As one clever woman remarked,
Jackets are almost fitted this year." In
fact, they emphasize all of the best lines
of really good figure, and help conceal
the defects of poor one.
Extremely wide revers and collars are
used on most of the new fall suits. The
cutaway front effect is seen on many of
the jackets that come under the heading
of the ''dressy tailor-mades, while still
others are cut on severely simple tailored
lines with mannish revers, plain full
length sleeves, and the straight line clos
ing. There is a decided tendency toward
the tunic effects in skirts. Petticoats
made of the same material as that used
to face the revers and collars are reveal

many instances the tunic is slashed at
the left of the front or at the side. dis
