The hat upon Belinda's hair
Tips up with just a little narei
Her collar flares, her Russian coat
Flares out decidedly youll note;
And in manner quite descroet
Her full skirt flares above her feet.
In fact most everything she'll wear
Flares mp and out a bit somewhere.
But ! don't care a bit, do your
Unless her temper flares up too.
NEW YORK, Sept. ls.-lsn't it just
like Fashion TO decree iiaring coats and
skirts for the winter season, when chill
blasts find getting under flares Che east
est thing they knowi
It's great little chance though for
lovely woman to get back into her old
stride for She actually can get there
now with long, swinging gait in the
new full skirts. Some are frankly gath
cred or shirrcd ON the waist bands,
while in other models all-over pleats Of
fer emancipation 20 neither limbs. OF
course, this summer many pleated
skirts Of ilmy materials were tried out
either as under skirts beneath long tu
MICS of lace OF chiffon or the tunics
themselves were pleated over a scant
and plain underskirts. Now, however,
there are pleats a-plenty-sun, box and
accordion-and the entire skirts of the
smartest tailor suits and frocks as
well as the diaphanous evening gowns
are made of 'em.
Indeed the tailored girls whole toll
cite is replete with pleats for the new
est chimesettes and lawn vestees are
all finely plcated like the bosom Of a
mans dress shirt and even the haring
roll collar attached TO the chemisette
is also pleated.
And while on the subject OF roll col
lars il is said TO relate but true, never
theless, that fair feminity it going to get
it in the neck again this season. In
plain words the high choker collar has
already many fashionable throat in
its vise-like clutch and is shown on all
the chic plain tailored blouses for the
fall and winter.
Along with the high tight collar is re-
turned the high lace shoe. With her
coats, blouses, skirts and sleeves so
lavisly garnished with buttons a la mill
taire, it probably is a relief for a much
buttoned maiden to feel that at least
her feet are buttonless. Hence some of
the very best ankles are all wrapped up
in shoestrings.
But to return to the starting or far
ing points. The really most fragrant
flares of all are found on the coats and
wraps. For street wear the redingote
coats are the thing in the suit line, but
the separate coats are all cut like a
II CossacS's. and the most stunning are
finished around the bottom, cuffs and
collars with wide bands of fur-skunk
monkey or sable preferred.
The Cossack coat for evening veal
has almost the same cut as the street
coat for day wear, but is developed il
brilliant hues of chiffon velvet, one ex
quisite model is of yellow velvet tn,
shade of a California poppy. A long
loose waist line is indicated by wide
band of dull gold galloon am the wide
collar, deep cuffs like two muifs, and
broad banding around the faring skirt
is of sable. The lining is of old blue
chiffon. long loose capes laring out
about the heels and banded with fur are
also lovely for evening wraps and are
made of velvet also. An adorable on,
of magenta velvet with a broad band OF
chinchilla around the foot has a quaint
Capuchine in lieu of a callar.
Carrying out the ever popular black
and white effect. a white velvet cape IL
trimmed in monkey fur. IFS pointed
hood finished with long jet tassels and Z
gorgeous salmon velvet coat or rathe
wraps shows a sleeve on one side will
deep skunk cuff. On the other side j
wraps around the figure like cape.
dull silver ornament of metalized EN-
broidery fastens the cape side over IN
sleeve side and wide band Of skinl
finishes the bottom and the neck.
Almost all of the wraps are made o
plain unfgured velvet but so brillian
are the colors and so rich the combina
tion with the fur landings that the ei
fects obtained are positively dazzling I
the naked eve and a bit staggering ais
to fathers denuded bankroll.
