NEW YORK, August 20.-The lat
est i%mportations OF fall models from
Paris do not indicate that fashion thi'
autumn will follow a certain style O.
silhouette. There IS a remarkable
variety in these models, from tn
straight, narrow frock to the gowns
with draped and flowing lines. Th'
chances seem to be that summer hist
DRY will repeat iteslf and that in the
autumn too women will be able tt
chose from a large variety Of styles
whatever is most becoming to them
without being compelled to adhere t.
a certain. model.
Grays have met with much success
among the ultra chic this summer
and it seems likely that this coloi
will figure very prominently in the
autumn modes. Among its many
shadings almost any woman can find
one that will be becoming to her
though gray must always be selected
knowingly and with careful deliber'
! alton. A mere dash of blue or violet
or brown in its tone will make all the
| difference between the becoming and
F! the u~nbecoming.

to usurp the function of the waistcOat

coats. Separate dicloy waistcoats,
closed high with plain n0tched edge
or collar are shown in satin, printed
cottons, corded silks and piques, and

blouse for wear inside a coat.
Corded Silks are, by the way, even

son, anu it seems likely that many OF
them will be seen among the new
autumn materials. Changeable silks
of the corded taffeta and poplin types
and of weight slightly heavier than
tAat of the summer silks are already
shown in some Of the more exclusive
shops and there are some very good
loking new things in crded woollens.
Corduroys and corded velvets, par.

full that there would certainly be rea-

grays, and browns, the dead leaf,
taupe and similar subdued tones these
tsuffs are especially lovely. The light
browns and yellowish tones shading
down to the darker tones of ecaille
are well to the fore on the autumn col.
or lists and there are many lovely
violet, dahlia and prune shades. Beau.
tiful brighter violets are also seen
and lines of wonderful reds and rose
shades.
One of the most effective advance

light, clear, lovely red between the

Velvet in connection with satin or
cloth promises to have q great vogue
and other two-material ordinations
r likely to be much worn, like cloth
satin, clotn or satin with chiffon,
rough and smooth cloth, plain and
corded or brocade or MORE silks. This
idea, of course, is not new, but will be
developed in new ways and will give
an opportunity for complicated skirt
draperies in suitable supple and light
materials, accompanied by coats of
warmer and more easily tailored
stuffs.

are plenty of variations upon the
mode and it will be easy to work

The loose half-length coat which
has obtained favor thi summer is an
other mode which is fairly sure of
autumn acceptance and indeed few
models of this class are coming in

For some purposes the full length
coat is the practical and comfortable
thing, but for walking a shorter coat
is certainly more comfortable, and the
ample, rought half-length sporting
coats of this season are very good
looking. Many of these are loosely
belted in the back. OTHERS are quite
straight. Half-length beach coats in
