LATEST FASHION NOTES
from the FASHION CENTRES

~ ERHAPS there is no one more
notable feature of the model
exhibited so far than the very
lavish use Of gold and silver and OF all
brilliant trimmings. When one re-
members the conditions abroad, it
seems a little difficult to understand
these ornate garments, but it is pre-
suniable that materials were already
too red when the war began and what
ever else one may doubt, we certainly
are called upon to admire the pluck
of the Partisan designers and dress
makers and the way in which they
have kept at work in spite of the most
discouraging and heartrending condi-
tons. Undoubtedly the most sumptu-
Gus materials have been sent largely
to this side Of the sea. They have been
designed for the Parisiennes, but they
will not be worn by them to any
extent The brocades and other ma
terials are MANY Of them really regal in
effect, and besides that, there are the.
most wonderful gold embroideries.
gold trimmings and arrangements Of
gold and silver that produce most
brilliant and marvellous effects. For
evening wear and even on many OF
the afternoon costumes, gold APP
pears in embroidery, if it is not woven
on the fabric itself, and wherever one
turns, whatever costume one is seek
ing, there are insistent evidences OF the
favor shown for everything that is
bright scintilating and brilliant.
This is the month Of the dressmakers
openings. At an important one of the
week were seen many really magnifi-
cent models and among them at least
three out Of five gave evidence Of the
tendency referred to. An evening
gown is composed entirely Of black net
and silver lace, further enriched by
shoulder straps of jet and jet orna-
ments A wonderful! gown from Worth
is of black chiffon. the bodice draped
over silver lace relieved by pink silk.
kittens ear cloth and chiffon velvet.
shows jacket of the cloth, richly en-
broidered in the brown with touches
of gold, and the wide, curved belt also
is embroidered. Even otherwise ex-
tremely simple gowns give evidence Of
the tendency, and often, one sees
girdle with bit of gold embroidery
on a serge costume. or street suit with
revers and cuffs embroidered with .
silk enriched with gold or with silver
thread. Jet is most lixuriously used
on evening costumes and we may look
for great deal OF brilliancy in one form
or in another
For everyday occasions, for the
simple, afternoon gown and for the
frocks of the younger contingent, serge
is almost ubiquitous material; it is
combined with taffeta, it is combined
with faiIle and it is combined with
satin, but it is serge or gabardine
nevertheless in eight cases out Of ten.
September. is always the month Of
the school girls, for their needs are
the important ones. A very charming
irock which will shortly be taken to
one OF the most fashionable boarding
schools, is Of taffeta with serge. The
skirt is OF the silk, straight and gath
cred, with three circular founces OF
the serge. The bodice shows raglan
sleeves Of the silk with long gauntlet

cuffs of the serge and there are back
portions of the wool material, held in
place with oval buttons. The belt is
Of the serge with motif at the front,
embroidered in rich Oriental coloring
and there is little chemisette and
collar of white Georgette crepe. A
pretty frock which again is Of the serge,
yet which also suggests use for the
beautiful plaid silks, is Of plain blue
serge with plaid silk of rich and excep-
tionally beautiful colors. The bodice
is very unique one, difficult to de-
scribe, but shows the gauntlet cuffs
which make a very interesting feature
in detail. A really beautiful costume
that has been designed for Vassar
girl, is again OF the serge, with taffeta,
and shows full skirt, the upper por-
ton Of which is of the taffeta, with the
lower Of the serge, and where the two
meet is tiny little trimming Of fine
silk braid with embroidered motifs to
enrich the effect. The bodice Is Of the
silk below and Of the serge above, with
again the embroidery over the con-
Meeting seams and there is a pretty,
rolling collar of white faile. Still an
other gown is made with skirt of blue
satin with wide bands Of serge, one over
the lower edge and one little above
the knee depth, while the bodice is
largely of the silk, with attractive over
portions of the serge, and just little
bit Of brilliancy found in the gold and
silver embroidery on the plain, fitted
belt. Another shows skirt with full
yoke of satin and lower portions Of I
serge and plain bodice Of serge with
silk sleeves, but in this case, the bodice
and the pockets on the skirt are en-
broidered in beads in dull blue and
green, and there is very attractive
and becoming wide collar Of heavy
white corded silk. Serge, it will DO
seen, serves all purposes. 1t is ideal
for the autumn street suit, it is made
into plain, useful gowns that can be
worn for the morning or in the class
room, and, combined with silk or satin,
it is converted to afternoon use and to
most attractive costumes OF really
dressy sort.
That we will wear great many long 4
coats Of fur, of fur cloth and of real fur
is a foregone conclusion. These one
piece GOWNS dS LIley are CdlSu are llOSl
satisfactory for autumn wear with light
wraps, and can be utilized later be-
meath the coats, so they seem to serve
a double purpose.
Velvet is really wonderful this sea

sorts and also great deal of the water

last winter and exquisite coat suits are
made therefrom. Women whosare dis 4

will reserve these costumes for the
motor and for formal afternoon occa
sions. Let us hope that other women
will not indulge their inclination to
copy in the cheaper velvets and to
parade them on the streets. Suita-
bility is one OF the first lessons Of the
really wcll-dressed No refined woman
accustomed to luxurious garments
ever wears it out OF place; it is only
the vulgar or foolish she who reaches
out otter spendor that she cannot
really afford, who walks the streets
in velvet or in superb and rich ma
terials Of any sort. s

and the outside, and take care that
these bones extend only from the per-
forations at the neck edge to the ones
on which the collar must be rolled over.
To make the dress as it is shown here,

you must cut the hens of at the front,
and do this just one-half an inch
beyond the medium size perforations
which indicate the inturn. If you are
making a plain dress, with stitched
hens, turn the edges under on the
very tiny perforations and again on
these medium size perforations and
stitch the hens.

effect illustrated, you must cut it Of
white satin, therefore the diagram for
the chemisette is useful only to show
how to place on the CLOTH One of the
novel features of the gown is found in
the collar which really is an extension

with bands of black silk braid, while
the chemisette and the collar are OF
white satin, but as matter of course,
it can be copied in any chosen material.
and whatever the material, the pro-
cess of making will always be the same.
In diagram No. 1, the gown is shown
laid out on the serge forty-four inches
wide. As that material has neither
figure nor nap, the back and the side
back can be laid in reverse ways, which
accomplishes a genuine economy, but
if you have chosen material with up
and down, as broadcloth or a figured
fabric, it will be necessary to use more
material and to reverse the position of
the back in order that all the pieces of
the garment might give the same

Turn the seam allowance on the

and under-arm seams, remove the
basting and press open, Then bind
each one of these edges separately
with thin seam binding and bind the
edges Of the plaits at each side of the

THE NEW PRINCESSE GOWN AND HOW TO MAKE 1T

THE princesse gown makes one Of
the most important and most
= interesting features of the au-
tumn. 1t always is handsome gar
ment and this present season, it is
being developed with variations that
render it exceptionally attractive.
Here is one which gives all the essen
tial princesse characteristics, yet
which is so treated, with little plaits
in place of darts, that it is relieved of
over-severity and becomes more gen
orally becoming than the perfectly
plain garment is apt to be. In the
picture, it is made from fine French
serge, in dark. rich blue and is trimmed

that is to be made in tailored style.
Apply silk braid over the front and
the neck edges, and stitch on each
edge and il you have made the collar
of the white satin, carry it around over
the seams which join the collar to the
back, for it will make prettier finish
than il the seam is visible.
The sleeves may be made with single
or double points over the hands. II
you like the double points, cut open
on the line Of three perforations found
in each point. II you do not the
points and like the sleeves which ter.
