not be long. It would be too utterly in- into series of activities
 It has already been announced that two kinds of jackets will prevail in the autumn. One is hip length and one IS hem length. The latter is called polo naise and the former is called a jacket.
 The revival of the polonaise Is merely contribution to the fashion for top coats. One can use polonaise over any kind of skirt and blouse. and if 1t is lined in the colorful and interesting way that prevails among tailors today, it pre- sents itself as a garment Of rare merit.
 The short jacket however, as it will be worn this autumn, is a bit of costumery that is taken by the back of the neck and pulled out of the family album.
 Whether or not the peculiar vaudeville trick of presenting a family album in song and living pictures, which has spread over New York through the success of one the musical revues of the season, was the predecessor of this short, tight jack et nobody can tell. It is far fetched idea no doubt, but don't you think it is rather interesting that the stage folk should get up family album scene that runs through vaudeville fashions as danc- ing does, and that, now, suddenly, that coat and skirt should be launched into costumery?
 One of these jackets which will doubtedly prove success because it has been isued by a dominant house, has little hustle all it's own. It belongs to skirt that is quite narrow, and it has bit of an upward pull from the knees to waistline at the back-a pull so slight that 1t is not always noticeable.
 The jacket fits the figure, curves into the waistline at the back and then flares out into series of folds that give the hustle effect. It Is buttoned in a straight line down the front There is band of velvet above the hem of the coat. The buttons are covered with wine colored velour that makes the suit. The collar is very high, soft in it's folds, rolls over backward to the neck line and is trimmed with a band of velvet. JACKETS HASTEN FROM CHIN TO CHIN
 Revers are abandoned by the tailors and dressmakers. Where one coat will have them, Is others will be fastened in straight line from the chin to the lower edge. All the collars are high. but soft and enveloping the neck and chin in the manner that was considered correct in the eighteenth century.
 Mind you, this style is not the only powerful note in fashions that is brought out for jackets. It is one of several oth- CT details, and a woman will have the chance to accept what she wishes.
 This latter situation will be the hope and the downfall of many women. Left to themselves to choose among the heterogeneous mass of material, the best minds will grow confused and go wrong On the other hand, highly trained judg- ment will give to women the chance to express their individuality and look a lit tie unlike their neighbors.
 It may be said, however that the coat that fastens in line down the front, the buttons running straight through the high, rolling collar, will be the most no- ticeable change in street costumery that will take place in October.

BLACK CRYSTAL FOR
 DECORATION

The manufacturers in Paris who are making the new ribbons for autumn and the manufacturers who are making crystal for the new winter blouses, must have had some secret method of commun ieation that made them join hands in promoting black.
 The cables say that the ribbons in Paris are bits of art that they should be used on walls and as household decoration rather than on gowns They have black foundations, on which are worked won derfu Chinese designs They look as though they came out of the fifteenth cen- turn when no man was hurried and each man loved his task
 The black crystal is not exactly a new note in decoration. at ieast not as far a 5 Paris and a few ultra-fashiona ble houses in America are concerned, but the ma jority of people have never seen or used it. It is now being produced in amaz; lg lovely shapes and already the public has learned to appreciate it as wonder ful bit of decoration in the house

It would be odd if the edict for Elimination of waste material in zlothes that has gone forth from the koverning factors in dress on both con linents, would be responsible for the in loning of the hustle.
 So far as the expert observer can see Into the near future of autumn costumery which is now being planned, shown and bought, the only actual elimination of Ena aterial is in the width of the skirt \ There is little sense in being obstinate \ bout the width of skirts; they're going Ao be narrow, and it is quite as well that #ressmakers and women accept this fact without cavil.
 \ Once before in the history of clothes khese was tight skirt which was said No have been caused by the Civil war In America. It became the fashion after Appomattox and remained in fashion for $ decade and a half afterward. It was Also caused by the necessary for economy Sn material, as the four years war had hearly exhausted the commodities of this %ountry.
 {rhat skirt was called the tie-back. lhNe front and sides were pulled across he 1fgure so that the wearer could bare W step, and rubber bands were put across he back below the waistline, to draw he material up into a series of little puffs. This was as much of a hustle as was permitted
 K The persistence of this fashion has been an amazing thing to those who study Elothes. Its origin was in the fashion kble way of walking called the. Grecian bend, which was the absurd predecessor Sf the equally absurd debutante slouch. In the days of the tie-back skirt, lit He girls would secure safety pins by Indirect means, and pull the fulness of Their skirts back and up, thus having a little fluff of their own below the waist EEhey were always caught at this by their
 mothers and nurses, because the safety bins tore the material and made gaping holes.
