CORDED EFFECTS AND DIAGONALs FOR FALL

Cords have led naturally to stripes
so that many of the newest fabrics
are more or less visibly striped. This
has undoubtedly had its effect. too. in
bringing all kinds Of figured goods to
the fore.
For early fall a suit like Fig. One
with dark-brown rings on a lighter
ground, makes smart and useful

besides being strictly up-to-date, for
buttons of that substance, either real
or imitation, are much sought after
at the present moment.
Note the fact that the dress is in
shades Of brown, for you will probably
select some shade Of that color for one
of your fall costumes. All shades Of
brown are prominent this year. but es-

In cut and style OF waists and skirts
there will probably be little change
this fall from what has prevailed since
early spring. Skirts are still straight
and narrow in appearance, and the
predictions for increased fulness will
not be verified. True, pleated skirts
are seen, as we'll as skirts with inset
pleated sections, but that does not
mean that they are full--they only
give additional ease in walking. With
the tight. implicated skirt this ease Is
sometimes gained by leaving the Skin
