DARK BLUE AND BEIGE GABARD1NE.

I turers' claims for it that the actual
difference lies. As you know, 1t has
a more perceptible cord through II
| than the other material. and this may
but It also keeps it from swinging into
the figure with the softness that the
new serges have.
1t Is said that gabardine wears bet
ter than all the other thin cloths, ano
that it shows the dust less than the
smoother surfaced materials, but those
are things which each woman makes
up her own mind about when she is
out looking for new frocks, new fab
RIGS and new accessories.
Placing Two Waistlines.
Ono OF. the best Of the gabardine
frocks which has reached this city. and
which is exploited as a new and ad-
mirable thing for autumn street wear,
and even for winter wear after top
coat has been purchased. has two
waist lines which may be offered In
tho hope of pleasing the woman who ho o
wants her belt up or down.
Tho color Of this frock, which Is
sl1etohed today, Is deep blue, and IN
stead Of the ubiquitous white collar
nearly every dark blue gown for three
years, the fabric chosen is Of biscuit
colored satin. There is so much of
this collar that 1t covers up the shoul-
ders and half of the back. and there

material of the gown and fastened
with small blue bone button. The
sleeves of this frock just out to the
point over the elbow that is now con-
sidered quite smart in all one-piece
street frocks, and the long cuff which
fits the arm tightly and spreads over
the hand, Is touched off at the back
with these blue buttons that are bullet
shaped.
The Sleeve That Wins.
The American dressmakers think
that they were instrumental in per-
suading the French designers to miti-
gate the ugliness Of the genuine leg

armhole, sufficient to give the swing
outward from the elbow which is con-
sidered necessary. and the full folds
on the inside of the arm which are
shaped to form the tight fitting lower
sleeve which spreads over the hand.
There is no evidence that the sleeves
which are full over the wrist will have
a chance Of success. On every side,
there is a decided effort to keep
sleeves long-remember that when you
are choosing new gown.

Late September Grapes.

Grapes can be more widely used than
they are in our autumn cooking If we
only find out about different methods
of preparing them. Here are some thai
are good:
Grapes are best when eaten fresh
from the vines. Place a washed grape
leaf on each plate and on it place a
bunch of perfect grapes that have been
on the Ice overnight. They will be
fresh and as lovely in appearance as
they are delicious in taste
Grape sherbet is especially appetiz-
