els. They are the old army colors,
deep navy blue and bright red, and
are striking as well as youthful. Blue
serge or rough tweed travelling and
motor coats have hood collars of scar
let broadcloth, and blue serge suits
show dashes Of the scarlet in the trim
ming. With these semi-military suits,
many of which have smart touches Of
black braid, are worn the broad SOM
brero hats heralding the approach OF
autumn. White is extremely good in
a hat Of this kind. bent into a becom-
ing shape and trimmed amply with a
soft scarf, band or military orna-
ment
A wide band OF black velvet on the
underdress and belt to correspond
introduce pleasing note of contrast
on an embroidered white wolfe frock
fashioned in the popular straight tun-
ic style. On lingerie dress for a
young girl black satin forms small
sailor collar, and is used also for belt
and skirt border. A big black silk
bow and pipings of black lend touch
serge for girl of sixteen. The mod
ell is fashioned in one piece, opening
in the front, a simulated opening in
the back being fastened with white
silk lacing
Low neckwear will by no means be
abandoned with the coming of autumn
though there is always a tendency to-
ward high and formal neckwear as
cooler weather approaches. For little
fall street frocks of serge and mohair.
pretty collars and cuffs of linen and
lace are ready and, of course, a hand
some set of this sort will add greatly
to the dressiness of even the simplest
frock. The Corday style of collars is
used a great deal and is seen on many
OF the handsomest models.
Chenille dotted wells are again
fashionable, and cobweh effects hold
their own with women who find them
becoming, but the limp, silk mesh
wells are the favorites of fashion at
the present moment, and these wells
in both white and black will be worn
all through the early fall. When the
veil has a handsome border it is
draped gracefully from the hat brim
and allowed to fall on the shoulders,
the ends in the back reaching almost
to the waistline. Ordinary face wells
are drawn trinity and neatly back and
pinned against the hair. Mny folds of
the veil are crushed under the chin
and are sometimes tucked beneath the
tall stock, making very chic and
neat appearance.
Tremendously high stocks will, it is
predicted, take the place of the V
shaped neckwear of the summer, and
these tall stocks are made of the
sheerest laces. well boned and fin
ished at the top with satin hem Or
cording which keeps the thin mater
ial from getting shapeless and limpy.
Such stocks should be fitted well to
the neck, and at the back there should
be tiny loops and buttons. the only
pin allowable being handsome
brooch, which may be thrust in at the
top more as an ornament than a fas-
tening.
Black and white as a combination is
more in evidence than ever. Black
and-white stripes. black hats with
white crowns and the other way round,
white lingerie frocks trimmed with
white and black or entirely black vel
vet bands and white stockings with
black shoes are some of the many
ways in which the vogue is expressed.
Lingerie gowns are deliberately
trimmed with all-over eyelet embroid-
cry and wide lace banding and inser-
ton. In fact, many resemble mon
ster cobwebs. so open are the meshes.
For cool days at the shore stunning
white serge and camels hair suits are
trimmed with many rows and arrow
heads of colored silk; blue, green, tan
and black are principally featured.
A notable feature in hat trimming
now is that the ribbon bows and flow
ers are no longer placed at the back
All trimmings are gradually working
around toward the front of the hat.
Lingerie waists made of dimity are
seen in the newest models in some of
the exclusive shops.
There is little doubt that the com
ing autumn will bring along the little
bolero jacket in numbers and variety.
