Most of New Morning Frocks Are In Dark Tones With Touches of White Marine Gabardine Is As Simple Design As Any-Black Leather Buttons Make Catchy Trimming Debu-
 tante May Wear Black Satin.

ardine morning frock. It is white felt of softest texture, with long oval crown banded with fine, flexible black leather, against which rolls marrow brim, slightly depressed at front and rear. It somewhat sug- gests an English walking hat, but lacks the severe and "elderly'' look of that model. The new simpl : shape is as practical for the debu- tante's morning use as for the al most grown-up school girls gener service.
 Debutante May Wear Black Satin. Black satin is not denied to the debutante-elect providing that sho refrains from using too much of i-. She does not wear an entire gown Of that material, but she orders cos tune extensively garnished with !: Perhaps the most charming ex ample of this is shown here in the afternoon frock of black satin. cor.- bined with white satin foundation, yelled in double flouncing of black lace. The semi-fitting basque of black satin is finished with a ruche of black shadow lace. A rose CT deep red nestles on the eft shoulder.
 Cheviot is so fashionable this autumn that it should justly be re- garded as new material and it is novel in that never before has it been so fine and altogether alluring. Were it not almost as flexible as is a sheer fabric, it could not have been used for the development of the model whose skirt is tiered with three flounces bordered with broad black satin bands.
 Soie Ondoyant a New Fabric
 A coquettish jacket in the cheviot has loose back, with co4d and tas- sel-laced seams. ending just below the waist; short fronts b1oused un- der a black satin girdle and sleeve caps laced at the tops of black satin bishop sleeves. The debutante's school girl sister need not think that she can wear this costume. It is a degree too mature for her. and sle may as we'll console herself with tf.e reflection that by the time she is ready to "come out'' something even more desirable will have been launched
 Soie ondoyant, another new fabric l which plays a leading role amo1g autumn novelties, is used in bla K for a debutante's visiting and church costume But the sombre tone is modified by the cheerful tones blended in the plaid silk combined with it.
 This silk appears in an un 1erskirt, narrow and with perfectly matched gores, two-thirds covered by a pleated tunic in soie ondoyant, havi, g l fronts button-jointed as far down as the hips. At the waist the pleatS vanish under @ silk vestee-basque, with crossed fronts running to short points on the hips and low dropped shoulders close-fitted over the tops of narrow black soie ondo- yant sleeves, with turned-back white silk cuffs.
 New Type of Collar.
 white silk collar, high at t1.e back and tapering to the finest of points at the bust, is outlined by a wide band of the black silk which, l crossing on the front of the basque l and running into it's side seams, !, stimulates a bolero. The, collar is not akin to the overworked flarl1 g | Medici and the so-ca1led Norman. l It is simply wide affair, high stand 1 ing at the back of the neck, turned 1 over into sharp little points behird i the ears and tapered in front to pre- vent contact with the chin. Its sha pe 1 is as new as soie ondoyant is novel ] among fabrics.
 Many outstanding collars to wear 1 with tailored costumes will be fash l toned in figure cilk or velvet, am; will take the place of fur.
 The narrow skirt has a long pleated i tunic. The cutaway coat has a swai- i low tail back, and is trimmed with 1 small self-covered buttons and larger i size bone buttons.
