FLORENCE FAIRBANKS

the underdress and belt to cores
pond INTRODUCES pleasing note of
contrast on an embroidered white
wolfe fashioned in the popular
straight tunic style. On a lingerie
dress for 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 a touch of distinction
to sailor suit of crown serge for a
girl of sixteen. The model is fash
Toned in one piece, opening in the
front, a simulated opening in the
back being wastened with white
silk lacing.
Low neckwear will by no means
be abandoned with the coming OF
autumn. though there is always a
tendency toward high and formal
neckwear as cooler weather APP
proaches. For little fall street
frocks of serge and mohair pretty
collars and cuffs of linen and lace
are ready and, of course, hand
some set OF this sort will add great
ly to the dressiness of even the SIM
plest frock. The Corday style OF
collars is used great deal and is
seen on many of the handsomest
models.
Chenille dotted wells are again
fashionable, and cobweb effects hold
their own with women who find
them becoming. but the limp, silk
mesh wells are the favorites of fash
ion 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
! Ordinary face wells are drawn trim.
~ and neatly back and pinned
against the hair. Many folds OF the
veil are crushed under the chin and
are sometimes tucked beneath the
tall stock. making a very chic and
neat appearance.
! Tremendously high stocks will, II
is predicted. take the place of the
y-shaped and finished at the tor
with a satin hem or cording which
keeps the thin material from get
ting shapeless and slimpsy. 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 a handsome
brooch. which may be thrust in al
the top more as an ornament thar
a fastening.
Black and white as eombina
ton is more in evidence than ever
Black and white stripes, black hat,
with white crowns and the othel
way around, white lingerie frockl
trimmed with white end black or en-
tirely black velvet bands and whit,
stockings with black shoes are som,
of the many ways in which the vogu'
Is expressed.
Lingerie gowns are elaborated,
trimmed with all over eyelet EN-
broidery and wide lace banding ans
insertion. In fact. many resembl,
monster cobwebs, so open are IN,
meshes.
For cool days at the shore stun
ming white serge and camel's hal
suits are trimmed with many row
and arrowheads Of colored silk. Blu,
green. tan and black are principal,
featured.
A notable feature In hat trimminl
now ID that the ribbon bows an,
flowers are no longer placed at IN
back. All trimmings are gradual
working around toward the front o
the hat.
Lingerie waists made Of dimit
are seen In the newest models 4
some OF the exclusive shops.
There is little doubt that the com
! ing autumn will bring along the III
tie boldero jacket in numbers an
D variety.
