CORDS ARE TO BE POPULAR
All Widths and Colors viii Be Used
AS Trimmings This Fall and
Winter.

Cords of all widths and colors will
be extensively used on autumn and
winter models Not only as fastenings
and buttons" but as trimmings, and
also to weight the borders of the coats
and skirts. Narrow cords with pipe
edging and light and heavy cords will
be used for ornamental designs in the
braid style. At one time color was
the difficulty, but now the colors and
shades are quite as numerous as those
in silk, and cords have worked their
way into a position of great impor-
lance. Waistcoats are again to be
worn, but introduced into frocks as
well as coats, and these have cordings
and buttons which come into full
play. Blue serge and blue cloth will
be principally treated in this way, and
many and beautiful will be the colors
and designs seen on the winter mod
els AS l have mentioned before in
these columns, velvet as well as cord
and braiding will be greatly used, CIV
ing very rich appearance to the

LONG SLEEVE MOST POPULAR
Frocks Are Made With Decided
Iy Long Ones.

Since evening dresses and little
dance frocks are in class by them
selves and presupposes the use OF
long gloves, their sleeves are less apt
to show any decided changes. There
is so little of them, in the first place.
But fashion has given her fiat anent
afternoon dresses and suits. Here are
some of the changes:
In the majority of dresses the long
sleeve prevails.
Most OF the sleeves are set on the
garment about three inches below the
shoulder, thus giving long shoulder
line.
Some frocks show the cuirass effect
Or separate large sleeve over the set
in sleeves that are on the underbodice.
Fullness is the keynote. There is
given in ruffles at the elbow, in wired
puffs on underslceves, in the general
cut of bishop or leg-o'-mutton type
Shirring is used on cuffs and on the
.under-arm seam to dispose of ma
-terial in fun lines.
F,rills are shown on the edge of the
sleeves and running up the outer
seam. They also edge the upper and
under lines of the cuffs.
Fullness is given to the sleeves of
storm coats and evening wraps by
having them cut in one with the gar
ment, dispensing with armholes, yet
departing from the kimono type by
having decided cuffs and fitted end
at the wrists
