Fashions and FOibles For Fall
By Maude Griffin

New York, Aug. 23.-Some of the
decorations that have been high fav-
orites during the spring and summer
are going to continue among the lead
ing garnitures for fall frocks. Nota-
bly, among them are the bordure ef-
fects. Whatever changes are noted !
are achieved in the breath of the Dor
ders, which are quite up to the knees
and even higher, if the height of the
wearer permit.
The stamped in bordure effects VIII
be very much worn. the splendid pat
terms of the summer foulards and
pongees being transferred to soft SILK
land wooden mixtures, while chiffons,
mousslines and soft silks will come
out in new and glorified forms for the
evening frock.
One sees bordure effects for skirt
and bodice, but there is disposition
on the part of some of the best dress
makers of Paris to arrange the Dor
ders in broken lines above the girdle
to relieve what would be a monoton-
Gus effect in the case of a stereotyped
pattern. And the original designs are
always costly Then, too, the broken
effects gives on an opening to use ap-
y pliques and combinations of smart en-
broideries and braids in applique ef-
feet which would not be permissible
in the case of the unbroken border.
When tunic effects are employed In
the new skirts, it sometimes happens
- that the foundation skirt possesses
the border, while the drapery hangs
as simply as can be from raised

:. ter in the case of very sheer evening
: frocks. In the two and three-piect
skirt models which seem to be coming
more prominently to the front ther'
is a decided inclination toward tn
plain tunic, although several trimme'
tunics are also seen. OF course thes
