Pads and Fashions

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-Ultra fash ionable women. who can afford to spend q small fortune for clothes every season. do not wait with ordering their outfit until the season for which they are intended is at the door. As rule they make their selections many months ahead of time. But, the wom en with unlimited funds at their dis posaI are greatly in the minority. The average woman, with but moderate or, perhaps. exceedingly limited means, cannot afford to take chances. She wishes to be in style and, knowing from experience that styles are con stantly changing, she is wise enough to wait almost to the last moment be fore ordering or purchasing her clothes for the coming season. It is a matter of policy with them to watch out for every indication of a pending change and to consider every point carefully, as she cannot afford to cast her gown or coat aside after week or so. should it fail to be in harmony with the pre- vaiIing style of the day. It is to the woman of moderate and limited means that timely hints concerning the most probable styles of the coming season are most valuable.

 On the fall suits there will be used sleeves of the long, fitted type and the kimono sleeve with the dropped arm hole. The EtOn effect, especially at the front, is particularly striking. From the front a sweeping line over the hips and a long tail at the back finish the coat.
 A Russian model of velvet will bid for applause. The peplum of the skirt has considerable fullness, and rich fur trims the collar line and the cuffs Braid and buttons give a flashing ef- feet to the line of fastening
 Tn the skirts of the fall suits there will be many innovations. The long line from waist to hem is rarely left unbroken. Seams are modified by tabs, extensions and flaps. Side seams are slashed. There is drapery at all sides, the folds around the top of the skirt being the newest, and giving the peg top effect, which is characteristic feature of the present fashion. Full ness at the back of the skirt is held down flat under a short strap belt or a group of tuCks
 Buttons are used extensively and profusely this fall. They are both use ful and ornamental. The slashes on the skirt have frequently regular but ton holes and buttons which work This keeps the length of the slash and some of them come quite high under the control of the Wearer A military trimming of braid and but tons in horizontal lines on a coat is sure to appeal to the woman who pre-
