II you care
What you'll wear
one and all
In the Fall.
New York, Aug. Est isn't the
stuff that dreams are made of that
interests us just now even if we have
been running to Shakespeare for the
last few months. It's the stuff that
our fall and winter frocks and suits
are to be fashioned from that has us
all agog. One thing is sure, we are
going to be even more fear-somely
fursome than ever. Esquimos will
| look positively bareskinned compared
to us if we wear all the furry fashions
that the fur designers have prepared
for US.
Fur coats are to be fuller and more
ripply than last season and in order
to rob Peter to pay Paul or, in other
words, save on our other fur garments
| to put more into our coats. muffs are
to be positively skinny, as 'twere.
Just little round bullet affairs.
The craze for moles that has
evinced itself IN our summer fur col
lars promises TO lap over in the win
little underground habitants have sky
high prices. Basking in the dazzling
light of popular fancy is enough to
account for the blindness of the 1916
mole.
Mink and Skunk Fur Also.
Mink will return this winter to
fashionable favor and kolinsky and
skunk still hold their own.
Obviously, with such a craze for
furs impending, near furs or materials
made to initiate the real thing will
be much in evidence. "Edereila" is
one which Stimulates broadtail. 1t
comes in narrow strips for landings
and also in yard width lengths. In
the same widths also comes "ursine"
which has thick, soft, furl:ke nap.
For frockS we will ape the monks
with two materials loosely woven like
sackcloth or the coarse fabric of which
friars' robes are made.
Like a twilled ratine is serge
moufflonne," and "drapelld'' is a close
imitation of broadcloth.
Serge and gabardine still continue
in favor and there is a lovely thick soft
oiagonaIly twilled material, quite new,
called double trykho.''
AS fo:- colors we are to go quite
subdued and almost somber, demuraly
draped in brown, blue or violet.
New Shade of Brown-''Senegalai
Brown in particular is to be much
be done brown. There is a new shade
of it called '-senei lais." At least, it's
name is new and that is about all, as
it would be hard to differentiate be-
tween it and our old brown friend,
''tete de negre."
Skirts are to be longer to match the
days and they do say that tickle Dame
Fashion will cast her hoops out of her
wardrobe and return to slilnpsy, soft,
straight lines.
Coming events cast their shadows
before it is true, but just because the
shadow haDDenS to look a bit HOPELESS
row don't get reckless and hurriedly
cast off your hoops on the strength of
a mere forecast. Bear in mind that
