CoLoRED DRESSES

In these the combination of two
fabrics is frequently seen, the fabrics
employed being silk and crepe de
chine, silk and serge, or silk and
cashmere. Combinations of plaids or
checks with plain colors ere also
finding favor.
Combinations of two colors are also
recommended. In fact, children's
wear manufacturers believe the use
of two different fabrics or of two
different colors will take even bet
ter in the little folks sections than
in those where adults wear is sold.
Coat effects, Russian blouses, modi-
fed Norfolks, middies and boleros are
notable style features Of many of the
dresses. The use of belts or sashes,
placed at the lowered waistline
promises to be larger than ever. Vel
vet ribbons, In black or colors, also
silk ribbons in Roman stripes, plaids,
brocades and printed effects. make a
very, effective trimming and are be-
ing used considerably, both in the
medium and in the better grade
dresses.
Party frocks of lace, net or chiffon,
in white or In colors, are being shown
in many different styles. These are
effectively trimmed with ribbon
sashes, and sometimes with small
artificial flowers.

Both Fabrics and Trimmings
Selected to Meet Requirements

Following the fashions in costumes
undergarments are very close-fitting
and are made with fat trimmings.
The culotte form of pantaloons, the
knee-length chemise. the close fitting
corset cover and brassiere. and the
combination garment of snug lines
all hold to the one idea of maintain
ing the slender silhouette.
Manufacturers of lingerie have
been compelled to adopt the sheerest
materials. and fabric manufacturers
who supply them have given the mat
ter of sheerness special attention,
while trimming manufacturers are
also doing all they can to meet the
present requirements.
Especially are manufacturers of
machine embroideries taking into
account the fashion needs. They are
bringing out beautiful lines of ma
chine-made goods that accord en-
tirely with the new ideas. Fine main
socks and batistes. sheer crepes and
even organizes are being used for
foundations for machine embroidery
intended for lingerie purposes.
Some of the foundations are in
drawn thread effect. thus adding to
the transparency and lightness This.
in addition to the very open designs
seen in some of the new embroideries
and the lace-like work in some of
the patterns, gives a distinctly new

white, light blue, rose, red, SAKE blue,
tan, tobacco and navy.
Cheviots and serges are among the
staples that are to be found In prac-
tically all of the leading lines.
Much interest has been shown in
plain and novelty velvets. Pushes
both plain and pressed are also be-
ing used to considerable extent. Fur
fabrics are already selling in large
quantities and many believe they
will be better than they ever have
been in children's coats.
The collars are of various shapes,
many being notifications !. of the
sailor which always looks well on
children. Quite a number of stand
ing collars are noted on the new
models. Cape collars are being shown
again.
The use of belts and sashes is
very pronounced. In the majority
of cases they are placed below the
waist line and are quite broad. The
sashes are frequently of satin in a
matching shade to the coat, but
novelty ribbons are being employed
on some of the better numbers, such
as plaids. Roman stripes and print
ed effects. The belts are usually of
the same material as the coat itself,
or of patent leather or of suede.
Pleats starting at the shoulder line
and reaching to the hem of the coat,
somewhat on the order of a Nor
folk, are employed in many of the
models that have largest sale.
The Russian coat fastening over
at the left shoulder and finishing off
with a belt is also meeting with
considerable success. Novelties show
ing odd cut seams, deep Jokes and
other lew ideas are also being taken
by the trade.

Very Lightweight Types In
dicated-PIain Nets in
Great Vogue.

From q fashion standpoint, both
here and in Paris, laces will be in de-
mand. A good proportion of the adj
vance model gowns for fall are
trimmed with lace, and the general
trend of style is such as to promise
plentiful opportunities for its use.
Flounced skirts have been strug-
Cling for full recognition during sew
eral seasons past, and 1t now seems
as IL they might achieve
widespread success. They are
highly favored In dancing frocks
and in women's party dresses of an
informal character. Moreover, they
are now being employed in tailor
mades, which would seem to signify
their final acceptance as strong
style feature.
Both two and three f1ouncings are
noted on the new skirts. which when
developed in laces, call chiefly for
Is to 27-inch founcings.
Blouses and dresses made entire
Iy of nets and light laces have been
a big item in the market this season,
and manufacturers expect to again
feature them strongly for fall.
The vogue for corset covers OF
plain and of fancy nets and ALL
overs is also expected to continue in
full force.
Soft. filmy. lightweight laces are
to dominate the fall demand. This
opinion is. Of course, based upon the
suitability of the light types to
fiounced skirts, to transparent
blouses and to draped effects, wheth-

LACES WILL BE POPULAR

er they are used In the bodice or In
the skirt portion of a costume.
The new light laces will be varied
in character, having the features of
may laces used in combination.
Shadow and chantilly combinations
will be especially prominent.
Very high-priced shadow and maline
novelties will be widely represented.
Some of the best of these will have
point Alencon features.
Opinions differ somewhat as TO the
strength of net-tops for fall. The
majority, however, believe that net
tops with exceedingly dainty and
tilmy designs in the border will have
a place in exclusive lines, while the
more strictly speaking net-top or
oriental fiouncings will be fair sellers
in medium and popular-priced lines.
especially on account of their prac-
tical nature.
Even more widely do opinions DIFF
fer regarding metal laces. Some buy
ers have confidently made prepara-
lions for a good demand, while others
almost entirely neglected metals in
their purchases.
Steel and silver are more abun-
dainty represented in the foreign
markets than gold, but 1t is thought
that, as usual, gold will lead In this
market. Only the very softest, light
est effects In metal are mentioned
with confidence. Netal-run maline
and shadow 1aces are in fair rep
resentatien, as are also silk-run ef-
fects.
A moderate distribution Of colored
laces is expected. The new colored
novelties are in Chinese and Egyp-
tian designs, in soft, rich color COM
pinations.

MUSLIN UNDERWEAR

character to the fashionable en-
broidery.
While independents have gone
into slighter dimensions and lessening
fullness they have taken on fine
ness of character not heretofore seen.
Thus, in the employment of machine
embroideries, there are entire gar
ments cut from the all-overs. The
new lines include nightgowns, bras
sieres, corset covers and even culottes
made of all-over embroideries. This
is an absolutely new idea. and indi-
Gates a larger distribution and con-
sumption of high-class embroideries.
To further tighten the effect Of
undergarments designers of high
class novelties are using net pleat-
ings, fittings, puffs and insertions.
Some Of the embroidery garments
have these insertions and edges Of
tulle to tighten their character
Another novelty in high-class lingerie
lines is the use Of colored linens for
bindings and insertion strips. For
the present moment the high novelty
In color is yellow, though rose color is
much favored.
Delicate embroideries done on foun-
dations of net are seen both in hand
made and in machine-made goods
Undergarments of almost priceless
value show very expensive trimmings
In hand-embroidered and hand-ap-
pliqued nets. Sometimes the en-
broidered net forms the entire upper
half of the chemise and likewise of
the nightgown, thereby reaching the
extremity in the transparency of
undergarments.

One of the strangest and yet indi-
vidual arrangements of the hair is. the
Fuzzy Wuzzy" ringlet. 1t Is made of
the hair near the ear, twisted about a
bit of the thinnest of gold wire.
A novelty in wedding rings is very
narrow, with close-set diamonds
around the circle.
The chauffeur's hat of velvet and
the Eiffel Tower plume are among the
new millinery oddities.
The hoop tunic will be seen in this
country in the fall and winter In mod
flied form.
A long oval side panel on a new
skirt is weighted down by a long silk
tassel.
The new nuns headdress" of dia-
monds and lace is quite the rage In
Paris.
Fancy vestees of net, lace or chif-
fon are very smart and pretty.
Butterflies of tulle are worn at the
neck, or at the waist line, just as the
single rose is worn.
In the new millinery chin straps
are gaining in favor.

WOMEN'S NECKWEAR

Extremely picturesque, and, at the
same time, comfortable styles in
neckwear are prevalent in Paris. AL
most without exception the throat is
exposed, while at the back of the
neck the collars are high and fiaring.
These high backed collars, wired and
usually transparent, are seen on elab-
crate evening toilettes, with ex-
tremely low-cut bodices, and in less
extreme form, on afternoon toilettes.
Quite remarkable to state, these wired
forms, while appearing two years ago
as an extreme novelty, are only just
now coming into general use in Paris.
The surplice outline for the front
of the bodice brings into fashion
fichu effects. Small fichu ends are
added to these smart wired collars,
and to some of the newer fiat collars
outlined with simple frills.
Normandy fiuting is now highly
favored in Paris. Most of the new
neckwear. whether it be in the form
of collar or fichu, has the border
either of fittings or plaitings. Both
linen and net frills are employed.

The Novelty Wells

| Tulle face wells in countless designs
are among the new items of interest.
many of them having but a single
spot in the whole veil. The main
object in wearing this veil is to
bring the spot over the precise part
of the face where 1t will look most
bewitching. 1t should be placed
either under the left eye. at the COR
ner of the mouth or close to the lobe
of the ear.
On hats with brims bristling with
feathers, aigrettes or tulle frllls, blue,
violet, red or green tulle should be
worn, transformed by means of one
velvet spot, to be worn as described.
These wells are difficult to put on
above the hat borders. Place care
fully beneath the tulle frill or the
aigrette fringe; then fasten with two
or three large-headed pins matching
either the veil or the hat.
Bring the folds round to the back
of your neck and fix them tight to-
gether by means of brooch, OF else
leave the veil loose with two ends
falling at the back. A veil worn
this way is especially suited to wom-
en- with regular features and should
be OF lace design.
Light tulles in pink, blue or white
with wide meshes and pearly bowers
of a lighter shade, relieved by
thread of black silk, are charming
worn with toques without brims.
Wells in sea green or sun color are
prettiest with light-colored dresses.
They are raised above the hat brim
in front and then allowed to fall
behind in folds over the shoulders
Among the novelty wells are those
painted in vivid colors, and tulles
with fine meshes drawn tight as
wire netting, and loose nets adorned
with five black velvet specks here
and there. Black or white is most
suitable to wear with black velvet
or tulle hat.

Couture Styles

Millinery fashions determine to a
great extent what hair fashions shall
be. 1t is necessary to dress the hair
very high or very low in order to
wear the new hats becomingly. In
the case of high hair dressing the hat
fits over a French roll, showing only
the soft waves Of hair in the back.
Waved hair will be universally ia
vored. as it tends to give a fluffy, full
effect to any arrangements. The hair
may be parted either in the centre or
on the side, preferably at the side.
The low fiat pompadour may be
worn with low or high hair dressings.
A fringe across the forehead and the
little cluster or curls tucked in at the
side or back are becoming touches.
Covering the ears with soft waves
Of hair and the little fringe over the
forehead add much to the becoming
ness of the new fall hats. Shapes are
small and close-fitting, and the hair
in its new arrangement forms a
pretty and becoming frame to the
face.
The following is a leading head
dress for the fall. Three articles are
necessary to its completion. A round
casque of hair without wire and with
a hole in the centre; a roll of hair
over which the hair is rolled to form
a French twist and twenty-six-in
twist or two twenty two-inch twists,
which form the twist and the swath-
ing around the head.
The hair is waved, forming fiat
pompadour, brought loosely down
over the ears and to the crown of the
head, where it is tied. The casque is
pinned to the crown of the head, the
switch being brought through the
centre and divided in two parts; then
it is rolled over the roll, attached to
the head at the top, and again at the
nape of the neck, forming a French
roll effect.

SMART KERCHIEEs

If you would have the credit of pos
sessing chic belongings have your
given name embroidered on one cor
ner of your handkerchief, says the
Chicago Inter-Ocean. If the bordering
is colored the name must be in a
matching tone, and if the handker-
chief is in all white the lettering must
match 1T. If you don't want all the
world to know what is your given
name have merely your initials done
in the daintiest possible manner in
the popular long style, in the corner
of handkerchief that is either fin
ished with scalloping or hemstitch-
ing; but If you would furnish no
trace of your identity have only one
corner of the linen embroidered in
coronet design.

DIscUTsED LORGNETTrs.

The disguised lorgnette is the smart
thing. It's mission is to look precisely
what it is not. Often it takes the
form of diamond or square or
round-shaped pendant suspended from
a neekchain and easily detached and
held to the eve by a short stem.
Again, it appears in the form of a.
tiny, vinaigrette whose gold or silver
framed crystal sides first open
lengthwise and then spring apart.
Not infrequently it has the appear
ance of a tiny change purse swinging
from the chatelaine by separate
chain.

BOX COATS FOR GIRLS THIS FALL.

Among the fall styles Tor girls from
twelve to sixteen years of age is the
box coat similar to one in vogue sew
eral years ago. Its revival will be
an aid to mothers who find 1t hard
to dress the daughter of that age be-
comingly. If she has grown rapidly
1t Is particularly difficult to select
styles adapted to her figure, which at
that age lacks the graceful lines of
either the grown woman or the little
girl, for she is just between the two
and wears garments which will rather
hide than emphasize the lines of the
figure.
The new box coat is cut on straight
lines and many of them are given a
touch of brightness by the addition of
a gay vest. collar and cuffs. A wide
silk girdle is frequently used as a fin
ish, or belt of leather or of the same
material as the coat is sometimes
i1sed

CHTLDREN'S COATS
Novelties Seen in WooIens, Vet
vets, Pushes. Fur Fabrics.

The styles show a close Relationship
to women's garments. as manufac-
turers have found by experience what
sells well with the grown-ups is US
ually popular with little folks.
In view of the fact that the gar
ments are made on simple lines much
attention has been given to the Sc
lection of the fabrics. Novelty wool
ems with a rough surface like zibe-
lines are particularly good. These
are shown in plain colors, stripes and
small plaids.
Eponge in plain colors and novelty
weaves are also meeting with fair
success. Velour de laine, cut velour
and other fabrics of this kind are
used in some of the better coats.
Loop yarn fabrics are well thought
of by some of the houses who make
popular priced merchandise. Chin
chillas, as usual, are selling in large
quantities. Broadcloths are particu-
larly desirable in small size coats in

THE NEW TAFFETA.

Many Of the new fall evening
gowns are taffeta. not the old styled
weave. with the starched effect, but
of soft. light and pliable texture
which nevertheless retains its rus
tie. This material. though an i'm
provement. still requires the com
bination of a softer material as chit
fon or mousseline to make it highly
successful in making the present
styled gowns.

A Hint for the Home Laundress

When garment has become too dry
for ironing 1t Is difficult to damp it
over evenly. but this method solves
all difficulty. Damp well and roll it
up tight and wrap in a clean cloth and
then in paper. Put it IN the oven
while the irons are heating. The
warmth of the oven will cause the
damp to come right through the gar
ment evenly and it can be easily
ironed. Care must be taken that the
oven is not too hot.

Some of the early fall hats seem
little more than ruffies of plated ma
line or shadow lace, the wiring per-
uniting them to be bent to suit the
face.
