New York, Sept. 9.-The display
of autumn and winter fashions in the
big shops is extremely attractive this
year owing to the wonderful variety
and beauty of materials, colors, trim
| mings and accessories shown. 1t is
too early in the season to make any
| positive prediction concerning the
changes in styles which the coming
season may bring. The time for the
fall openings in Paris has not yet
arrived and the models sent out in
advance are little more than tenta-
tive attempts to foreshadow the COM
ing modes For this reason conser-
vative buyers will do Well to use
great caution in making their selec-
tions at this time.
Stripes are almost everywhere to
be found among the tailored costumes
included in this advance showing,
but the fad for striped materials has
lasted all through the summer and
there is every reason to believe that
it's general popularity will cause it
to be abandoned to great extent by
the most fastidious dressers. How
ever, there are attractive striped eff
fects in all the modish woolens,
broadcloths, serges, zibel1nes, ETC..
and there are lovely striped velyets
and silks and chiffons, but many of
these seem likely to be used as trim
mings rather than as frocK material.
The displays include some extreme
ly pretty th1ee-piece and two-piece
tailored models in fine stripes, black
or dark blue with fine lines of white

A black broadcloth striped in hair
lines of royal blue and made up with
touches of royal blue beugaline in
the trimming scheme was one of the
best looking three-piece suits seen
among the advance models, and one
Of the Fifth Avenue houses is show
ing an extremely chic two-piece i'm
ported model in rich yet not too vivid
dark purple striped narrowly with
black and trimmed in black panne
velvet and black braid.
There are good grays too among
the striped suits, two tone stripes or
gray striped in black, Black striped
with hair lines of white also seems
to be popular.
The coat frock or one-piece frock,
whose lines suggest coat and skirt,
was worn last spring and is seen in
some practical and pretty models for
autumn service. Many women OBJ
ject to the one-piece trotting frock
for street wear, insisting that they do
not feel themselves correctly dressed
for street appearance without a coat;
but this coat frock is at its best an
attractive compromise. The fine
cloths with almost invisible stripes
are successfully used for these cos
tunes and one of the smartest early
autumn street models seen was built
kup in black cloth with fine blue
stripe with black satin for waistcoat,
lndersleeves, girdle and undershirt.
A cravat-llke fold of blue silk fell
from neck to girdle just ct the left
of the waistcoat opening and head
ed side frill of plated net and lace.
Plaid effects are very popular and
handsome satins showing one-half or
two-thirds of the width IN black and
the rest IN bold plaid of skillfully
| blended coloring afford opportunity
| for borderlike use of the llaid while
| the border is also wide enough to be
handled as bodice, sleeve or under
skirt material.

worth buying. To be sure theil
