not believe IN the efficacy of all The

 TasMi0m's N0rizOm.

MEMBERS of the four associations of
 boot and shoe manufacturers at a meeting held in the Hotel Astor. New York. decided that women the coming season should wear the plain. sensible black shoe instead of the fancy foot wear that has been so popular.
 The shoe with plain toes will be the smartest, and in the better grades a narrow receding toe will be found. Al- ways in black, the biggest sellers will be those of the cloth top variety. both lace and button.
 Heels will remain the same. and in the medium priced shoes there will be the same easy rounded toes. Fancy shoes will be of the front lace type. There will be no colored top stitchings or perforations. Colored buttons are a thing of the past

The basque like bodice gives a trim waist line. Black satin slippers, sin- pie as the gown itself. give pleasing finish.
 The very stunning riding habit has a distinction all it's own. a severely tailored black serge coat and checked brooches. The waist line Is decided and from there down takes a marked flare. Trim velvet collar and tailored pockets are the only notable details. Please observe the dropping brim of the sailor to keep sun glare out of the eyes.
 Indeed, among the favored styles are coats made with wide flare at the hem and showing the more fitted tend ency in the upper section. Much in- terest, too. is manifested in coats hav- ing flare effect that starts from the shoulders or from a small yoke. Goats with ripple backs and more fitted fronts are also receiving consideration. Although the normal and the low waist lines largely predominate, coats made in two sections, joined at slightly higher waist line. have been put out in a limited way, with the bulk of the output in the smaller sizes.
 High collars are feature of the best selling coats. preferably those which

Waists of velvet combined with chif- fon. with silk or with georgette crape are popular. Owing to it's greater weight. however. velvet is mostly used for the lower section of the waist and in the sleeves; also for trimming touches in the collar and yoke.
 Waists of georgette crape in dark colors over flesh color or white chif- fon Things have trimming touches of wool or silk embroidery, or of beaded effects. or of soutache braid. or they are simply finished with shocking, with small tucks or with little plaits. Other materials in favor for waists are chiffon cloth, crepe de chine. mar quisette, gros de londres taffeta, satin and fancy silks The striped and plaid taffetas are very smart for early fall wear.
 There Is a big demand for crepe de chine waists in white and in flesh color. The styles follow closely the semi- tailored effects. new ideas being in- ! troduced in the high collars and the novelty sleeves.

upon seasons he reigned supreme in the field of millinery until the novelties of the manufacturers superseded him. Then the poor birds died off for want of funds to keep them, and ever SO many tragic things happened to them, but next winter promises them a return to power. One of the early fall hats shows a band of uncurled ostrich. and a dress tunic displays an edging of the curled variety.
 Black velvet trimmings for frocks are exceedingly smart. They are fre- Quently detachable, so that the same trimmings can be worn with more than one frock. To white dress black vel- vet adds just the needed note of char acter.

mor. too. that skirts are to be narrow er-that Is. some skirts. The wide skirt will in all likelihood be seen throughout the fall and even the win l ter. Nevertheless, now that woman l has been broken in" to the lines of the narrow skirt. we may expect to see 1t reappearing frequently. particularly l for the tailored suit.
 Even while the war wages designers are thinking seriously of rejecting all suggestions of the military in the fash | ions to be. Just how far they will be able to carry out their peaceful inten- tons remains to be seen. War has 1 greatly influenced the fashions of wom- en from time immemorial and will doubtless do so until war is no more The court costumes of Louis XIV, Louis XIV. and Louis XVI. are said to be replacing the influence of the pres ent war.
 While every one knows that winters tailored suits are to have passably long coats. as winter suits invariably have, 1t is somewhat surprising to learn that some of the coats are so long as to fall two or three inches below the hems of the accompanying skirts and give the appearance of gowns. It
 
 are inclined to curves and that these lines require a complete annihilation of the slouching carriage affected for the past two seasons.
 Buttons as trimming are to be used in the fall. Jet buttons will be in par ticularly good standing for the pur- pose. They will serve no purpose but that of ornamentation pure and sim- pie, even most of the fastenings of frocks being really closed with snaps and the buttons serving to hide the snap stitches.
 Plaits are coming for fall skirts. and welcome they will be. When in fashion there is no prettier skirt than the plaited model. and it is becoming to all ages and almost every type of figure. The choker has arrived--not the choker open at the front, as madam has insisted upon having 1t during the summer, but the choker that comes up to the chin and sometimes envelops it. Most of these new models are un- boned and therefore sufficiently soft to be comfortable even though more con- fining than the cutaway models of the summer. <.

button well over at the left side with large metallic buttons. Semifitted styles with the flare skirt set on at the low waist line are another type suitable for the average figure. Then there are plain coats with suggestion of curves and a conservative flare at the edge. The lengths are from forty two to for y-eight inches.
 Stout women will find the coat lines are more suitable for their figures than has been the case for several years past. Aside from the semifitted styles with modified flare skirts set on at a low waist line, there are also models which suggest the curves of the figure in long unbroken lines. ending in grace full ripples at the knees.
 The old time revers and shawl collars which made the stout woman look stouter are no longer in vogue. Instead appears a plain smooth front with cen- ter or with side fastening.

 A great feature is made of pockets. Some coats have four pockets, two on the waist and two on the skirt Oth- CTS again have three pockets others two and few only one. The pockets are often cut in odd shapes and age fastened with flaps and buttons giving a decidedly swagger touch. Fur continues to be the favorite trimming. Bands of fur at the bottom of the coat are used to a considerabls extent in several designs.
 Elaborate evening gowns are devei- oped in chiffon, the skirts being ruined or banded with taffeta- velvet or faiile Rich silver brocaded grosgrains are also favored materials for evening gowns.
