IN THE WORLD or FASHION
By Maude Griffin

decorations that have been high favor
ites during the spring and summer ar
going to continue among the leadin
garnitures for fall frocks. Notabl
among them are the bordure effects
Whatever changes are noted ar
achieved in the breadth of the borders
which are quite up to the knees ant
even higher, IL the height of tn,
wearer permits.
The stamped in bordure effects viii
be very much worn, the splendid pat
terms OF the summer foulards and pom
gees being transferred to soft silk and
wooden mixtures, while chiffons, nous
selines 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 a disposition
on the part of some of the best dress
makers of Paris to arrange the borders
in broken lines above the girdle to
relieve what would otherwise be a
monotonous effect in the case of a
stereotyped pattern. And the original
designs are always costly. Then, too,
the broken effect gives one an opening
to use appliques and combinations OF
smart embroderies and braids in APP
plique effect which would not be per-
Missile in the case of the unbroken
border.
When tunlc 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 girdie
of empire yoke, usually the latter in
the case of very sheer evening frocks.
In the two and three-piece skirt mod
els which seem to be coming more
prominently to the front there is a
decided inclination toward the plain
tunic. although several trimmed tunics
are also seen. OF course these TRIM
mings mount up frightfully in the cost
of dress and the woman who wants
to affect first-of-theseason modes with
out paying first-of-the-season prices
must do some deep thinking to accom-
plish her desires.
Some of the latest robes from Paris
spring all the surprises of novelty,
though all the ideas have been famil-
lar in earlier years. Frocks that nave
been ordered for early autumn we'd
dings reveal something of the novel
ideas that the arbters of fashion are
certain to be accepted for their IN
genuity. One might cite an example
of a new fashioned old-fashioned frock
in delicate blue taffeta which is very
successful in it's picturesque way.
The skirt, very slightly fulled and
weighted down into straight INES,
though II bells little toward the bot
tom. is trimmed in three rather wide
fiounces of soft creamy lace. THESE
are carried straight across the skirt
front. the top of the highest coming
we'll below the hip curve, the bottom
of the lowest at knee height. At each |
side of the front these flounces begin |
to slope downward and they run in |
soft fullness quite to the bottom of
little train where they meet in points.
One could not be disappointed if the
description sounded more odd than
lovely, but the effect is charmingly
graceful. The bodice is actually close
fulled into close, draped
girdle at the natural waist line and
even a trifle below this line just in
front. 1t is almost entirely hidden by
a fishu of the soft lace, and the short.
sleeves are finished by
deep lace ruffles.
One of the new old models so dis
tinctly reminiscent and yet, in the
light of recent modes, so new shows
a sweeping skirt of black satin and a
high girdle of the satin folded to fit |
the natural waistline to show the
curves of the figure. Above this girdle
the bodice is entirely of lace. Two
overlapping plated frills of ochre
tinted lace standing up above the /
girdle are held up by narrow bands of +
velvet, one of the bands running
around the middle of each frill and
with little jeweled buckle
N front
These two frills, or rather the upper
'rill rises to the bust line. Above that
l soft fishu drapery of fine cream net
md lace covers the entire bodice, fall
ng low over the short frill finished
sleeves of net and lace.
One has not been able to get very :
much of an idea of fall hats as yet, .
except the pretty models in soft +
french felt in few new shapes, but
mostly in the shapes that have been =
amiliar during the summer. Although :
hey have been out but little while, :
hese hats have already almost out
worm their welcome. There are outing J
elts and hats covered with taffetas
nd velvets, however, which women y
re buying for fall wear because their :
ght coloring does not seem alto f
ether foreign to summer, yet through y
heir materials will find grace all a
through the autumn.
The very low rounded crown and 2
wide brim make picturesque :
lodels when cleverly trimmed. Here y
gain one often finds the brim faced 4
18th velvet or satin, some of the new n
all models showing facings of white 7
attn felt, while others of velvet have 81
