FASHIONS

Hat. scarf and muff or bag that match
are quite approved BY dame fashion for
the coming season, and two very charm
ing sets are shown in the sketch The
upper one employs purple velvet and
ermine in its construction. The little
toque of velvet is banded in ermine and
an ornament in oriental colorings CEN
ters the front. The scarf may be worn
open, as illustrated, or it may be draped
high about the throat. A narrow band
of ermne borders the scarf on either
side and an ermine-covered button Of
generous size serves to conceal the scarfs
fastening. The small round muf is edged
with ermine. Color of velvet used and
type of fur may be varied to suit the in
dividual taste ChinchilIa squirrel and
silver rabbit are two effective furs that
might be attractively combined with vel

set similar to the one sketched

NEW YORK, September lis 1t to be
directoire? That is the question we ask
each other and which the American
buyers ask Of the French dressmakers-
No one in authority gives a DEFINITE
answer, and we are left to draw our
own conclusions. with the Frencn
gowns as evidence.
Take, for instance, this suit made Tor
distinguished English trousseau. The
astute observer knows that these gowns,
that are fashioned just before the big
social season breaks, are often forerun-
ners of the clothes that we will wear
Therefore, the coat should be given
serious consideration.
So many of the French designers are
putting in directoire touches--the high
waist line. the narrow skirt, the high
collars and the military touches OF braid
and buttons-that 1t Is easy to forecast
a tremendous revival of the Napoleonic
STYLES which we mainly associate with
the opera of "Tosca-"
And, by the way, American women
are taking up in a vehement manner
the trick of carrying a white cane, quite
long and shapely, with a heavy head.

Where Style Comes From.

1t is not at all possible to lay ones
finger on this or that dress period ond
say From this period the clothes of
this autumn can be traced"
NO, our frocks are not from any one
period. They are from a dozen. a hun
dred, different periods.
1t is surprising, indeed, to see how
many different sources have been drawn
on by the Paris designers. The result is
suggestive of house furnished by a
woman of taste, of skill-a house hold
ing furniture from different places of
diferent periods, made in some wav to
harmonize because of her individuality.
which she has impressed on it all
SO big Individuality known az fash
ION, has been impressed on the various
influences that give us the frocks and
hats, gloves, coats and boots of the
autumn.
The Italian renaissance seems to have
influenced BulloZ, who makes much use
of colored embroidery used on chair
backs and cushions of Italian palaces
Many of US have tried to copy some of
these lovely designs and have matched
as best we might the charming colors
of the old Italian masters of needle
work. The fact that the chair backs
enthusiastically begun in Venice or
Florence lie unfinished in a forgotten
corner of the attic makes us none the
less willing to welcome the note of the
Italian renaissance in our coming
frocks
Maurice exploits the Russian influence
and in details S well as lines shows the
best points OF the land of the czars
Jenny has turned her attention to the
dainty portraits and groups of Vatican
and has also drawn inspiration from
the 1890 period
The Chinese influence. introduced last
season with the French Louis XIV and
XVI Influences, has been chosen by
Beer.
So it goes. Each of the great design
ers shows some new note. Some even
suggest Greek infiuence-and acknowl
edge it. But all the varying Influences
are brought together and modelled into
an interesting whole-and 80 presented
to the American woman of fashion.

Peter Asks a Poser.

Do you know what It means to ask

thing which no one can answer. Now,
when Peter Rabbit said. viii some

asked poser so far as his feathered
friends of the Old Orchard were con-
cerned. They had just been laughing
at him and poking fun at him because
he knew so little about sooty the Swift
that when he had seen him go down
Farmer Browns chimney he had
thought that something had happened
to Sooty as a result of which he had
fallen down the chimney. This had
seemed to the feathered folk Of the Old
Orchard a great joke. Peter took it
good-naturedly and laughed. too. which
was the sensible thing to do. Then the

DIRECTOIRE TOUCHES NEW STYLES

many years by wars and the rumors of
wars The women lived in an atmos-
phere of death. soldiery, upturned gov
ernments and the roar of cannon. They
went from battle to battle. and 1t was
only natural that their clothes should in
some measure reflect the period through
which they lived.
There was not much that was mill
tary, in q large sense, but army capes,
brass buttons and military braid came
into full play at that time.
This costume shows the use of the
buttons and braid. as it was done in the
directoire days. The coat IS of slate
blue gabardine. and the skirt has bands
of blush velvet to throw into relief the
gray surface. The high waist line, far
ing pockets, brass buttons and gold
braid are the distinguishing features.
Ribbon on Skirts.
Although there is not much popular
ity promised for trimmed skirts, that is,
skirts with foolish pleatings. frillings
and ruchings, there is strong evidence
that we will put wide velvet ribbon on
them to give them character and to
make up a color scheme.
The dressmakers like this Idea and
they advocate it to all those who insist
that plain skirt Is not becoming.
Velvet ribbon is preferred, and this
fabric looks especially well on after,

Hons. George w. Allen and Hen
