Brilliant" is the word that best fits
the new styles in tailored suits, how
ever sedate the colors may be, in which
these suits are developed. Besides the
glove shades-beige, brown, tan. cas-
tor, taupe-there are rich tones of
wine, Russian green, beet root, and
amethyst, all at their best in the soft
surfaces of fashionable weaves In wool.
1t seems that costumers cannot think
of them without at the same time
thinking of furs; for fur is every
where on tailored suits and put on in
the most original ways.
Everything conspires to make this
seasons formal suit an unqualified sue
cess, because the character of the new
fabrics. their eolors and fashionable
trimmings are SO well suited to one
another. Designers appear to revel In
them and have given us creations this

Are you going TO give Halloween
party? There is a lot of fun for ev-
erybody in celebrating this feast of
nonsense; it is an indulgence that
takes little time and money. The troop
of spooks, witches. black cats. pump
kins and lanterns that make Hallow-
cen a madly joyous festival for the
youngsters has arrived on schedule
time and all ready to set off the hour
and table.
Some of this years table decorations
are shown in the picture above. They
are made of crepe paper, plain card
board and tissue paper. with little
help from pen and Ink or water color
paints. Fine wire and paste and a
very narrow ribbon Is needed for some
of them and needle and thread for
others.
The witch shown is supported by
wire with round piece of fiat, white
cardboard at one end for the face.
About this wire others are twisted to
form the arms and legs. The face is
drawn with pen and ink and the hair
made of white tissue paper cut into
fine fringe. At this stage of her ca
reer the uncanny lady may be fastened
70 a fat desk of cardboard by bending
the wires which are to support her at
the ends and sewing them to the board.
She Is clothed In a dress and cape OF
black crepe paper and has hat made
of plain black paper. The broom Is
made of wire. wound with narrow
strips of yellow paper and a fringe of
black paper. Ghosts are made In about
the same way of white crepe paper.
A small yellow cardboard box to
hold candy or nuts Is suspended from
a sunfiower OF yellow tissue paper
with a cats face pasted over the CEN
teri by narrow yellow ribbons. A disk
of white cardboard forms the founda-
ton of this piece, with the ends Of The
ribbon. the flower petals and cats face
pasted to 1t.
All the small paper dishes for salted
almonds or confections are made OF
yellow crepe paper parted over ready
made foundations. A dish of this kind
may be transformed into basket by
adding q handle of wire wound with
paper. A little covered candy box Is
shown with a small helmeted figure
-eated on the lid, holding spear In
his hand. He is merely holly pop
stick with dish Of candy on one

fall that more than justify the loyalty
of American women to the tailored
suit.
Just one of many beautiful new mod
els is pictured here, but it will convince
the fortunate woman of today that the
best art of the costumes is at her serv-
ice 1t is of Russian green broadeloth
trimmed with French seal convertible
collar and buttons and would be
equally rich in amethyst, beet-root,
taupe or wine. 1t is an achievement
to be proud of and a possession to re-
joice in. now that it is fashionable to
be busy and nearly all our days are
spent in street clothes. The skirt Is
quite plain and that term might also
be used to describe the coat in which
the tailor has relied upon originality
of design and beautiful adjustment to
the figure for the distinction he has
given the finished garment.
