FOR THE COMING SEASON
FASHIONS ARE UNIQUE
Hard to Distinguish Now Between French and Amer
lean Styes-The Latest Views of Womens
Wear.
By Maude Hall.


NEW YORK, Aug. 28.-From boudoi
robes to topcoats the new modes rec
with originality. 1t is difficult to tel
American styles from French styles
because there is as much novelty i
: the former as in the latter.
One knows that there are genera
lines which all the fashion authorize
accept as a foundation, so to speak
Then the fancy runs riot and seeker
of novelty benefit by the results.
The simplest of frocks are draped
the tendency being toward skirts tina
hang straight at the front, with sug
gestion of broad pIaits, with folds a
the sides caught up toward the bacl
and held in place with buckles OF the
dress materials. Fancy buttons ant
buckles are in great demand for waist
coat and shoe trimmings, but for the
purpose of holding skirt draperies IL
place. the plain effects are best liked
and they are never smarter than when
made of the dress material.
Coats, Big and Baggy.
Coats for dressy wear are big and
baggy The fewer lines that are
shown, the art of the draper must be
classic, else the garment will have a
homemade effect. The most desirable
models are developed in the brocade

ratine and brocade silk and satin and
brocade-everything else.
The woman who does not like bro
cades has a number of striped effects
| to which she may resort. Wide or
narrow vale velvets are as handsome
as serges of the same pettern and are
used to make elegant gowns for au-
tumn. Velvet is going to be in great
demand. Duvetyn is the fabric that
will need careful treatment to avoid
becoming ever-popular, because, al
though it is pretty it is among the
very new things of the season and
every woman who lays claim to fash
ionable pretentions feels that she must
have it in some frock or coat to sub
stantiate her declarations.
Two Kinds of Sleeves.
On the full suits there will be used
sleeves of the long, fitted type and
the kimona sleeve with the dropped
armhole
Tho oton offact acpacia1lv at thp
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 trimms the collar line and the |
cuffs. Braid and buttons give dash
ing effect to the line of fastening.
In the skirts of the fall suits there
will be many innovations. The long
line from waist to hem is rarely left /
lnbroken. Seams are modified by
abs, extentions and flaps. Side seams
are slashed There is drapery at all
points, the folds around the top of the
skirt being the newest, and giving the
,eg-top effect which is the sign of the
ines.
Fullness at the back of the skirt is
leld down fiat under a short strap
,elt or group of tucks.
