Fall Fashion Notes.

THE leading styles for fall and win
! ter are:
Tailormade suits with long coats in
cutaway effects and with contrasting
vests.
Skirts with low draperies in the back
and slashed at front or sides.
Evening dresses show blending of
soft colors.
Evening wraps are short and in the new
bright shades.
Coats of three-piece suits are mostly
in blouse effect.
There will be an extensive use of fur
fabrics for separate coats. made with
rounded corners and usually in 4S-inch
length.
Hoop-edged tunics and triple fiounces
are prominent on skirts.
Many short jackets are in the form of
shapeless sacks with the low belt
Color combinations are startling.
Ribbon sashes, either plain or in plaid
effects, will be much worn.

Going Back to Old Days
For Modern Mems Dress

good whether the officer is in or out of
military costume
Il think" said the young officer, that
the explanation will be found in the fact
that every military man has a holy fear
OF becoming round-shouldered and
paunchy. We army men are training
constantly We call it setting ourselves
up. You civilians usually don't worry
about your physique as long as you
maintain good health
The friend pondered this for long
time The result Of his deliberations led to
the hiring at intervals each week of a
riding horse. And he went forth to the
by-paths of Washington and there gal
loped and cantered and jumped his horse
until he (the f1end) was stiff and sore.
That was three years ago. Today this
man can wear anything. He can go into
readymade clothing establishment try
on suit after giving his measurement to
the salesman, put on the suit and walk
out without having a seam altered.
Several times recently this question has
been propoundeed to the Boulevardier:
DO you think that the modern styles
are better fitted for the mass of dressers
than the older and now obsolete styles?'
The Boulevardier thinks yes. He is con-
WINGED of this chiefly because of the fact
thot II 10 poSSiOiS loI dIly HAIL. Ilol uc-
formed, to preserve certain neatness
in his dress now that he is required to
wear the "cut-to-f1gure" clothes. The
man Of other days and other times, If he
happened to be thin looked like a scare
crow as he went forth on a windy day
with his wide shoulders wabbling and his
wide trousers Tapping. You no doubt re-
member him.
Other evidence of our return to the
styles of half a century ago is the straw
hat which came into favor this summer.
This hat with it's high crown. it's narrow
brim and it's wide ribbon was suggestive
of the time when nearly all modes re-
quired the high hat in some form as the
completing touch t the sartorially per-
feet.
The most startling return of an old
fashion. however. is the high collar and
the neck cloth of the type which looks
like sash tied. bow-knot in front.
The high collar and flowing tie haven't
been seen until this summer since the
time when the statesmen of the genera
ton after Daniel Webster. Clay and Cal
houn laid them aside. Withal it is
pleasing variation from the Bulgarian
scaffs' which shocked fashion early In
the summer. AT least it is black and not
a combination of all unharmonious colors
as the Bulgarian blouse was.

Checks and PIaids.

BESIDES plain-colored coats, there
- are those in smart-Iooking checks
and plaids. They are made on simple
straight lines with raglan. kimono, or
set on sleeves, and with patch pockets.
Almost all are belted with a wide band
of the material. Sport coats for fall
are little longer than those worn
during the summer, the majority being
three-quarter length. Some fasten over
the left shoulder instead of straight
down the front

The modern fashions undoubtedly are
very hard on the modern man who Is
inclined to the sedentary life. Take the
case of the modern trousers for instance
Tailors who are the guides of the real
fashionables of Washington impress con-
stantly upon their charges that a light
brisk step without the bent knee and
shuttle of the unathletic man is essen
tial to- the life of the trousers
Nothing is more pitiful than the mod
ern trousers when creased and wrinkled

They lose their shape and come to re-
semble bent sections of stovepipe Press
ing alone will not save them, though
pressing is a great help. The man him
self must be able to walk without re-
semblng the shuttle of an anthropoid
ape.
One of the best dressed men in this
city, a man who is constantly fashionable
with but small cost to himself, obtained
his results by accidentally chatting on
the subject Of dress with an army officer

curing the tract of land owned by the

the north side of the Christiana
River. adjoining Third street bridge.
for playground purposes.
The conference was decided on
last evening following the session of
Council. when it was proggnt to the
attention of the members by Mr. Ban
croft and Samuel II. Baynard, a mem
Der who attended the sessions.
Mr.. Bancroft, in speaking OF the
project last night, said he was sur
prised TO see reference made to II
IN the papers yesterday, but he
thought the securing Of the land ad-
visahle. II was also said. Mr.. Ban
croft continued. that / would pur-
chase il, whereas ! am not the only
one who has offered to do this"
Mr.. Bancroft suggested that a con-
ference be held between the various
departments of the city. as il would
require joint action before the prop
erty could be purchased. The con-
ference. Mr.. Bancroft said, should be
private one. and this was agreed to
by members of the Council.
Following the meeting of Council,
II was learned, that the ground can
be bought for $4,000, and If il is Sc
cured. the city would have a frontage
along the Christiana River. extend
ing from Third street bridge to the
land adjoining the New Jersey wharf,
at Front and Church streets, which
was purchased by the city some time
ago
While the conference was being ar
ing arranged last night to consider the
purchase of the land which would elimi-
nate the controversy of the use of Chris
