 When Sue kicks up her heels
 this Fall
 Believe me fur will fly
 For she'll wear fur upon her
 boots
 And they'll come up s-o high.
 NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-We now all have this much in common with the bus conductors-well turned limbs are no treat to us. With skirts ever going a little bit higher we are fair ly surfeited with displays of hosiery.
 "An inch at a time soon makes nine" is the song of the skirt and just nine inches above the toe line is the proper Fall length for this garment. What it lacks in length, however, it will more than make up in width. Six or seven yards round is the average circumference of the hem.
 Just to bring bit of brightness in to tbe lives of all save the blind many skirts are linel with vivid scarlet, green, blue or orange silk from the hem to the knee. This glimpse of color is very effective faring out as milady strides up the avenue or steps ligthly into her waiting car, be it trolley or Rolls Royce.
 The same tint used for the skirt lining also faces up the inside of the long flaring bell sleeves and touches up the neck line and the pockets.
 Everything seems to be striving for the higher life as the days grow shorter. The skirts and collars are climbing to ear tips and hats are go- ing them better.
 Some of the collars shown are nothing short of amazing. They are cut like deep faring cuffs and stand up uniformly around the head. It may be an open secret that lovely woman has two legs to sand on but whether she has a mouth and chin now remains a dark mystery thanks to these new collars. For the woman who won't stick her head into the moose of a choker collar the designers are offering concessions in the form of a collar open in front but jutting up all around the base of the brains and aural appendages behind.
 All the fur collars on suits, gowns and coats are high and swathing as the pocket book will permit. Positi- vely their only limits seem financial. What fur is left over from collars, cuffs and wide banding on the hems of the skirts is used to encircle the tops of the new high shoes.
 Of necessity to keep up the skirt line the boots and shoes have had to come up in the world also and they are proportionately higher than last years models.
 The smart magpie effects of black kid or patent leather with pipings and buttons of white have bandings of white fur around the top. With her trotsies thus embellished with the relico of cats ninth life the winSome wearer may we'll be designated as pussy footed"
 Bronze boots banded in skunk are simply stunning and pair of pearl grey kid dress boots with chinchilla are exquisite. All white ones are al- so shown with the white fur tops for wear with the stunning white velours broad cloth suits deeply banded la PusSe with wide bands of white fox.
 Buttons or faces are mere matter of personal fancy as to shoe fasten- ings this Fall and Winter. Both are equally good just as long as they know their proper place and keep it. No more straying from the middle front to side or back ways. Colored tops will still be worn in moderation but will oftener be developed in soft tinted kid than cloth. Heels will be high French affairs and vamps are shorter.
 As for hoisery, it is a perfect riot of color and designs. One bronze pair not content with pair of conserv- ative clocks, one on each side, abol- ishes the side clocks and has three up
