Annette will wear this fall;
She'll ram" her hat about her ears,
And make sleeps eyes at all.
NEW YORK.-You are due to don
mutton leg skirt this fall. Perhaps
you'll feel a trifle sheep.sh in one at
first, but the National Tailors' Asso-
citation has wished it on you, If you
would be swagger. ....:. -. .:..- :
It's really quite lamb of skirt,
cut two inches above the waist in the
back and at the waist line in the front.
Plain, down to two inches below the
hips, II is box-pleated from there on
down to two inches below the knee,
and thence plain again to the very
finish. Developed in shepherds plaid,
it is just the thing for the trctteur
suit
There's another distinctive new
skirt, dubbed the Napoleon, which has
a turnback cuff all around the bot
tom, just like the trousers Of a regu-
lar man. 1t is narrower than ever
and slit well up in, front. Side drap.
ing has been introduced Underneath
IN the region of the knees, so when a
fragile female desires to sit she may
sink down gracefully with the leeway
of this extra expansion, and at the
same time this concealed fullness
keeps the skirt from bagging at the
knees like the trousers of a rejected
suitor
Pistol Pockets in Skirts
Then there are the new pistol poe

er going all over the feminine figure,
the only spot where pocket could
be located without the bulge marring

or's art was on the hip Hence, the
pistol pockets are the first shots fir
ed in the fall fashion campaign. OF
course, you don't have to be gun-tot-
er to wear EN-. You can pull a pow

Made of gunny cloth, these pocket
suits are very snappy, and the JAG
kets are all appropriately weighted
with shot
The short jacket, was indeed short

the prevailing styles, and the coat
sleeves will be either raglan or XII
mno Vests with Medici collars will
be much worn, and they all will be
doublebreasted.
A mixture of three periods and
three nationalities makes up a three
piece suit styled the Imperator. In
the coat Is combined the Italian Me
dici collar, the cutaway effect of the
French First Empire and the droop-
ing shoulder of the present day
Japan. The material IS pebble, mate
lasse, combined with, broadcloth, in
shade of dark blue, The skirt is an
angular draped one, cut out very wide
at the top and coming to distinct
angles at the bottom, with a tassel at
each angle and with the drapings un-
derneath the angles. The bodice is
of blue chiffon over green, and the
military braiding on the coat and
skirt is done with a plain black braid
and a fancy braid of gold and green.
Braid and Buttons Remain.
Military trimmings OF braid and
buttons, by the way, are to be all the
rage as lingering influence of the
Balkan war. Martial effects seem as
lasting on the clothes line as on the
firing line
You can go as far as you like with
your fur trimmings this fall, and
buckles, tassels and fringe will fes-
toon the fashionably elect like the
trappings of the circus horse.
Sashes of silk and velvet also will
stick around and almost all the
suits will be in two-toned boucle,
heavy cheviots, wool eponges, mix
lures and brocaded woods.
The favorite colors for fall sound
like table d'hote-chocolate brown,
plum, wine and olive green. One will
also see quite a bit of brick and
there's a new shade of raven blue
which is sure to have you all ravin'.
