oNE-PlEcE STREET DRESSES
Many Materials In Favor for Autumn
slashed Skirt Firmly Estab-
Iished in Paris.

Navy blue silk serge, surah silk or
French serge are the materials for
the smart one-piece street dresses of
autumn. Their neatness and the sense
of security enjoyed in the wearing
recommend them to the out-of-door
girl
The waist line remains slightly
raised, withsa narrow belt of the ma
terial of the dress securing the skirt
to the blouse.
A long, straight tunic reaching al
most to the bottom of the skirt is a
fashionable development of both the
one-piece dress and the suit skirt. One
of the most popular cuts of the autumn
is the slashed skirt, already firmly es-
tablished in Paris. Most of the models
show the slash extending only slight
Iy above the three-inch hem. If a
Longer slash is used it extends to the
knee in Directoire fashion and is filed
in with a pleated drop of silk in a
contrasting shade.
The fashionable autumn sleeve ends
half way between the wrist and the
elbow It has a six-inch glaring cuff,
slightly stiffened, and is enhanced by
an undersleeve of all-over lace or net
finished with a frill of lace.

NOVELTIES OF THE SEASON
Jewellers Have Been Busy Devising
Pretty Things for the Emheilish-
ment of Milady.


A novelty in the way of jewelry that
has found its place among the smart
things for winters wear is a black
velvet band studded with beautiful
traceries of diamonds or intricate
patterns of precious stones. This is
found to be far more becoming than
the ordinary necklace or La valliere
and is an appropriate touch to ths
high waist and soft lines of the pres
ent mode.
For some time it has been the vogue
to wear the clumsy metal or ungainly
leather wrist band in which watches
are inserted. Much daintier and far
more beautiful are the tiny watches.

either round or square and which are
fastened upon narrow velvet bands

Harper's Bazaar. In some cases the
yoke extends over the shoulder to the
