Collars to be Universally Worn.
All manner Of materials will apnear

! winter are to be worn on coats, frocka

full looking Jouy printed silks. It ts

| one need be afraid Of having that
sort of neckwear too large. only the
greater portion Of it must cover the
back which nowadays appropriates
most of the decorations. The large
collars of toile de Jouy silk chiefly
are used on house frocks Of dark
satin or cashmere de sole and should
be detachable, lest the accessory be
hopelessly crushed when It is neces-
sary to wear the house costume under
motor or carriage coat. Spade

lace finish the necks Of afternoon
wraps in velvet while on many cloth
coats are seen tsoft-flnished kid COL
lars in sailor shape. Simply q collar
of huge dimensions and very recent

Tailormades in White Satin for
Afternoon.
White satin tailormades are ad-
mtttedly the most elegant Of all af-
ternoon costumes. Every mondaine
has one In her wardrobe and rightly
regards 1t as her sartorial piece de
resistance since a white get-up In
silken fabric, tailor finished looks
equally well at small brIdge-lunch-
con or at crush reception. Not all
Of these satins are wholly white for
sable bands relieve the chalky tone
OF many Of them, the pelt appearing
as heading for the tunic's hem and
the sleeves cuffs; also as a piping
for the pilgrimage cape.
Purely Ornamental Capes.
These pilgrimage capes are so alb
solutely useless that they would not
be tolerated were they not so orna-
mental. Suspended in a deep half
circle that falls in soft folds to the
girdle Of the gown, their straight side
runs across the back near the nape
Of the neck and barely covers the rear
half of the shoulders. Obviously they
cannot provide any warmth but they
are an apology for wrap, and-if
the onlooker is charitably inclined
transform the satin gown into a three
piece costume.
For afternoon parties, there are
non-tailored white satins galore. The
most stunning among them are over
draped with black mousseline Of the
very wide sort which can be taken up
in great punches and then be made ia
fall In artistic folds wherever folds
seem to be desirable. Were the nous

the effect of the draping would be

herself to be skimped in the matter

HAT will happen to skirts
That question caused many a
sleepless night to Fashions 8
" followers, the slim woman
fearing that the silhouette would not
continue to be straight and the plump
woman hoping against hope that the
prophesied radical change would be
wholly in her favor. Now that the
agony Of suspense is over with, it
would seem that everybody concerned
should be satisfied. While the new
skirts undeniably are wider and better
become rotund :Igures, in q general
way the straight line has been pre-
Oerved. To be sure a few Of the Paris
houses have tried to introduce fulness
below the knees in the hope that
though panniers over the hips have
scored no real success, there will be
no objections to bouffantry about the
ankles, but the trend Is toward moder-
alton in draperies.
Most of the late skirts and partic-
ularly those belonging to formal toll
cites for daytime service still hug the
feet and display to advantage the
smart footwear usually Of the high
button boot variety; they are wholly
nkable, these new skirts, are thor
oughly wearable and to carry them
gracefully is an easy matter. The
soft fabrics in vogue lend themselves
perfectly to all the new methods of
draptng. notably to the famed Bay
adere sash folds and to an arrange
ment in slightly puffed effect which
extends the full length of the skirt
and loses itself In the hem. These
draperies are the logical result Of the
pannier and In all quarters have re-
ceived cordial welcome.

draperies may be noted in the skirt OF

the left side ripples backward and

new fabrics are fascinating in their

Silky chiffon velvets, almost az thin

the best houses. One of the most
popular velvety weaves bears the curl

trasts strongly with "Arcenciel," q

these two types are to be seen al
most straight-cut three-quarter effects

tailored suits. An odd looking but
very smart model In tailormades from
the renowned house Of Paquin, has

gathered under self-cording strap.
The Tunic's Influence.
When 1s the benign influence Of the
classic tunic going to terminate? It
has stood the test Of several seasons,
yet again 1t appears and seems likely
to remain throughout the coming win
ter. On house gowns, the Greek gar
ment, running longer at the back. is
giving way to the more sensible style
OF even length all round and is found
in material matching that Of the
skirt but Of contrasting color or
shade. A model for this autumn
which has made tremendous hit
among smartly-garbed women who 70

draped over narrow and perfectly
plain skirt In black broadcloth.

Of keeping for that purpose-do not
contrast In color or shade with the
underskirt, but the two materials
differ. II the upper garment is Of
wool satin and the under garment is
Of velvet, then the latter is slightly
trimmed with a ruche or with bands
Of satin, to prove that the two sec
tions belong together and that the
costume Is not makeshift.
Radical Changes In Coats.
With one famous French house
bringing out broadcloth coats with vel
vet skirts and it's rival exploiting panne
and "chat mouille'' Jackets with silken
jupons, it is difficult to say which
mode Is likely to be the smarter. But
about the radical changes in coats
there is no question. All Of them are
less loosely fitted to the figure than
formerly and the tendency is to keep
the waist line at It's normal position.
For the coat which reaches almost to
the knees. general liking has been
expressed. and not a. few Of these
models suggest the type Of sgarb worn
by the beaux Of the Directoire period.
It is we'll known that pretty woman
rarely looks more deliciously feminine
than when she dons coat Of the
mannish order, and that It is the sole
garment which she can safely copy
from the wardrobe Of the stronger
sex. -.s-:- - ~"
simultaneously with the long and
semi fitting coats, are appearing at

are undeniable chic and different. But
