fads and fabrics to Be Used In the fall fashions
Duvetyn Is the New Cloth and the Japanese Bow The
accessory Sensation Of the Season

To continue our skirt talk. tier
skirts are popular. and heavy WOODEN
materials will be made UP in two or
three tiers on a silk foundation. so an
not to add to their weight. Many of
the new skirts are finished with the
sewage instead Of a hem. which also
lessons the weight. Indeed. all through
the style world the idea is to get away
from anything that suggests bulk and
excess sartorial baggage.
Walking skirts are shorter this fall.
which edict makes the matter of foot
wear even more important than ever.
Short and round lengths are used for
costumes. save very elaborate evening
frocks. When trains are employed they
will he short and narrow. One very
graceful idea in trains is the scarf eff
feet. which may be looped UP over the
arm when the wearer does not wish 1t
to drag.
Coat lengths vary. American tailors
have agreed to make the average coat
on tailored models from thirty-six to
thirty eight inches long-in fact the
matter of an inch or two either way IS
now less important than making the
relative proportions becoming to the
wearer.
OF course the cutaway effects are the
accepted ones. subject to many modi-
fiCations. For example. the long swai-
lowtail effect in the back is often used
with the cut of a tuxedo front. Sleeves
in tailored coats are sewed in at the
long shoulder seam. but the kimono
sleeve IN a number OF forms is a ia
vorite on d-essy models.
story of fall styles could not he
written without mention of the vests,
which are universal on both coats and
waists. They are introduced when

Ratbrocm Decorated In
BlacR is the Very
Latest

THERE are styles in house furnish
iEgs as in everything else, as every
woman knows. and what these new
styles are to be is interesting TO the
housewife at present. There have been
in recent years empire periods. orIen-
tai seasons and Louis Qu.rZe styles.
and all of them have been popular for
a moment OF time
At present there is a tendency to-
house furnishings. AS far as furniture
is concerned this may be due to the
tremendous amount OF fake antique
stuff which has flooded the market for
some time.
Most -Sonen are tired of being fool
ed. and they prefer to have things that
are frankly modern. copied from old
designs preferably. but Of undoubted
twentieth century workmanship.
The craze for black decoration is
more pronounced than ever this sea-
son. The latest evolution of this maui
soleum idea is the black bathroom.
The floor is made of some kind of new
asphalt preparation which is poured
polished until 1t resembles ebony.
The woodwork and walls OF this
bathroom are black, with a ceiling of
gold. The mirror is of black glass. and
in the center Of the room is a tube of
black marble. The woman for whom
this bathroom was arranged was de-
lighted with it. but il is doubtful if
many people would care for such an
apartment
Rooms are no longer kept IN one
period II used to be the height OF bad
taste to put an empire piece in Chip
pendale room. but at present it is quite
customary to see perfectly correct
drawing rooms composed OF a mixture
of Sheraton. early Italian, Georgian
and any other period the owner pre-
fers.
The post-impressionist and futurist
cretonnes and tinted linens are TO be
used a great deal this autumn. and
these will appeal 10 the woman whose
pocketbook IS too slim to afford more
expensive materials
These washable materials are very
beautiful. especially the futurist ones
in vivid colors, with a picture hidden
until you search for it They lend a
necessary brightness to the subdUed
tones of ultra modern rooms.

TRY THIS MELON DELIGHT.

MELON delight is a novel and re-
freshing dessert. AS in all des-
serts calling for cantaloupe. only those
of the finest flavor should be used Cut
the melons lengthwiSe, IN halves or
thirds, according TO size. Remove the
seeds and spongy tissue. Fill each with
vanilla ice cream and some very thin
slices OF fresh peaches. Decorate with
two or three maraschino cherries and
the liquor in which they come before
serving.

Up Practical Ideas For the Twentieth Century Housewife
Manners Of the Modern Child

pEDFLE who make II their business

Grafton tell US that modern children
have no manners They Dre allowed
more freedom than is good for them
and are encouraged 10 talk openly and
simply before their elders Their tastes
are consulted and their wishes COnsId-
cred In way that must surely be
morally ard mentally hurtful To them.
Now. there are TWO sides To every
question. and IN this case there Is much
10 be said IN favor Of the abused mod
ern child u IS true that he has far
fewer prim little tricks than his grand
father possessed. but II does not fol-
low that he is less courteous.
The mahgned American child whose
pertness has been skitted in a hundred
comic papers and bewailed in as many
serious tracts Is really not such a bad
little person after all He may be rath-
er forward for his age. but at least he
Is simple and fearless. II never occurs
90 him that he need blush or giEgle or
writhe himself into knots when he
meets strangers. He marches through
life with his head up and his shoulders
squared. taking things pretty much as
he hnds them and Tending for himself
with a large amount OF common sense
which is often disguised By a careless
hammer.
The shy. timid awkward boy OF the
past generation compares very unfa-
Uorably with this specimen. The mod
ern child IS not a nuisance 20 the adult
who meets him for the first time. II
Ia not always necessary to make con-
versntion for him. You do occasionally
meet one who seems capable Of enter

rated in a creation. They are manu-

rule. are part of the coat itself There
are funny little Eton jackets made
for the elaborate coat suit, with vests
or waistcoats Of fancy silks further
embeilished with smart looking but
tons. often of real jewels
The newest coats, however. are those
with skirts that stand out like those
worn by the premiere danseuse Of the
ballet. Possibly this is a slight eXag-
geration, but the effect is certainly
that OF wire holding the coat away
from the dress in very conspicuous
fashion.
From present indicati tons plaids and
checks are to be conspicuous features
Of the fall and winter modes. Entire
frocks are made of large broken plaid
or checked fabrics. some in somber
other in gay co!orings.
Plaid skirts and plain coats are
much in evidence. and a particularly
stunning creation of this sort was seen
recently of gray and white plaid. with
a coat of oyster white cloth. A double
breasted vest OF white satin and a belt
of the cloth were dressy notes of this
costume.
Altogether clothes We're never more
beautiful than they are today. and
there never was a time when greater
opportunity has been afforded to beau
~ in the name of fashion. AS long as
a woman is refined she will make the
most of the present modes usually to
the best advantage. but the moment
she has a common streak in her il is
bound to crop out in some ordinary
features of her dress. SO why blame the
styles? CATHERINE TALBOT.
