fall blouses are rightly designated
for few and far between are the fe
males who won't fall for them. Sucf
exquisiteness is theirs as has never
been before or behind, either, for they
are much ornamented in the rear.
They are more bouffant for one
thing and require divers lengths Of
diaphanOus material to complete
their sheer entirety. Georgette crepe
chiffon and crepe de chine continue to
be the favorite mediums. Fur, lace
and metallic embroideries are the IA
vored garnishments.
One unique model of white crepe dc
chine is absolutely plain in front with
a deep sailor collar of white silk
plush in the back that is edged with a
fringe of sassy little black and white
ermine tails. The long sleeves are
caught together It the cuff with a
single tiny tail, and there you are
the tale of this blouse is ended.
Combinations Of Materials,
A stunning blouse for an elderly
woman tf there is any such thing
Is of grey chiffon and black lace, with
a banding of skunk around the neck
and down each side of the front to the
bust line. The sleeves, which have
a cap top of lace and full under
sleeves of the chiffon, are cuffed in
the fur. The lace is set in the back
to form a point from the shoulders to
the waist line and in front extends
from the shoulders straight down
each side of the fur bands.
Combinations of material and of
two colors are distinctly smart. OF
those that seek their contrasting col
or in fur the white waists combined
with skunk and the yellow with skunk
are perhaps the loveliest.
Chiffon and velvet waists are also
rich and effective. A Russian green
velvet waist, with sleeves and yoke
of the same shade of chiffon, has for
sole adornment a choker collar of
bear, with a greenish gold metallic
rose smuggling coyly on the left side.
A vivid striped velvet of gray. black.
scarlet and yellow has a high collar of
astrakhan and the long faring bell
sleeves are deeply banded with the
same.
The colored waists of Jersey silk
promise but a dubious following for
fall, although the fur-trimmed
sweaters Of heavy wool or silk have
been shaken off of the summer girls
fair shoulders only to descend grace
fully and fttingly upon those of Miss
Autumn. They r sure to be de-
cidedly smart we'll up into November,
for wear with tailor-made skirts of
serge, velvet and even taffeta. For
yes, taffeta is to be a fall fabric this
year as well as a perennial spring
one.
The cleverest of the tailored coat
suits are fashioned of this silk and
combined with fur to give them a bit
more stability.
Although military styles and trench
fashions are trying to retrench they
have suffered almost a total defeat in
the autumn mode encounters.
With the exception of the preva-
lence of Russian coats, turbanded and
f~ull-skirted a la Cossack, and a
cleaning gold tassel or SO a la Bel
gian officer, little DR. no militarism has
been allowed to gain Roadway against
the lines Of the allied a la modes.
1t certainly brooks much for fash
ionable peace that the awful on
slaught of military helmets, turbans,
Highland bonnets and Belgian caps
has been stayed and female headgear
is once more staid again also. That
Is OF course 1t is as circumspect as
feminine headgear could ever be
Really very little exaggeration is
shown as yet in the fall hat models
and either the close-fitting little
round and tri-corn shapes of velvet
are affected or the ultra large round
f1oppy velvet shapes. A one color
scheme has gripped the little hat ard
odd and bizarre shades have been
evolved to meet the needs of a one
toned hat that will at the same time
be sufficiently striking.
Royal purple. mahogany and a
bright Prussian blue are a few of the
colors used and a variation on the
v e popular cerise is also offered.
So vivid are some of the hues that it
going to be mighty hard for mere
man to pass the hats this fall with
out adding binders to his other re-
Gently acquired fashionable Access
