winter may wish 10 readapt

The fur cuffs comes under the cate

mother branch Of the adaptation hints
he cleverest ingenuities are producing
or our benefit.
A specimen of the thrifty notion Is
an early autumn frock OF beige cloth
With sleeves Of GeOrgette crepe and
sash Of beige-colored charmeuse. The
touch OF fur upon the sleeves is sea
Ionable already. for In minor details

the passing of one season and the ad-

was the case in a silk-knitted coat
seen recently, which had lynx gaunt-
let cuffs TO match the collar, all easily
removed at will.

An impressive display of high-collar
coats is made now. The collar is Rus

bold touch OF color upon a sombre
Jacket is that Of securing the high col

brightness. A black jacket, for exam
pie, has a tab of sapphire blue silk

IN It.
The detachable cuff, the tabled col
lar and yet a third method OF diver
styling the appearance of a trock

and there, will be welcomed as excel

prettiest evening frock Is the simple
black silk one, which forty years ago
was the standby OF every woman and
which now seems TO be the nearest
acceptable approach TO the much-ois-
cussed uniform.
One such frock had pink roses
stalkless and leafless. arranged siugly
In diagonal line upon the satin skirt,
and the whole was then draped with
black net which subdued yet did not
obliterate the color OF the flowers.
All the new designs for tailor-msdes
show most commendable simplicity,
