STYLE CHANGES
CONCENTR RATE ON
FABRICS AND COLORS.

What is new abroad, particularly
in Paris, Of course, is attractively
summed up by the foreign CORES
pendent of one Of the leading wom-
ems magazines, The Woman's Home
Companion for October. The CORES
pendent says:
In year when the actual lines Of
gowns vary so little, the interest one
takes in the developments Of the new
season is especially concentrated up
on fabrics and their colors.
Here, as everywhere, the great
events going on around us leave
their influence. Rodier's idea that
during the griefs and dangers of war
the materials for garments should be
harmonious is expressed in this sea-
sons woolens. OF open weave and
light weight, the surface is rough
and coarse, and the colors are those
of the earth and it's herbage-leaves,
clay and sand, the different shades of
soil, of turf upturned by shot and
shell. Bright colors to meet the
needs of fortunate ones far from
warfare continue in deep red Of field
peoples, the yellow of gorse bushes,
and intense green of pine trees.
This season particular attention
was given by manufacturers to dark
shades; but gay colors were not
neglected, for still the big houses
have a large clientele in countries
not at war, nor does war prevent
gay colors in the south, particularly
Monte Carlo.
These thick, rough stuffs call inn
peratively for simple lines, but be-
cause of the great variety of ma
terials, diversity in results is easily
gained. Worth, Paquin, Lanvin, Pre-
met the Callot show Partially to
Indian cashmere of hairy surface in
neutral tints, also silk and wooden
jersey cloths trimmed with terra
Gotta pellusa.
Poiret endorses chic black and
white combinations with color,
primitive embroideries and butter
colored, jersey cloth bordered with
dark blue. With Poiret, materials
count for little compared to his use
Of them.
Jenny uses heavy decorative stuffs,
and produces tailored costumes of
smooth faced serge combined with
plush trimmings. She cleverly
handles long wooden fringes and
makes charming dresses of fine crepe
spattered with large embroidered
dots.
Doucet uses duvetyn in several
shades of red and butter-yellow. He
likes neutral colors in thick woolens.
Green and black, and yellow and
black are faVorite combinations in
big checked sporting stuffs.
The fad for common furs has
merged into a fashion of thick, dark
plush, plain and stamped, and silver
plush with long-haired weave that
shines like ice under sunlight. From
thick velusine are made huge collars
m nAr L..
fringe.
Lanvin's choice includes more gay
colors than seen at other houses,
with kasha in every shade. Cheviotte
foulard is an interesting material,
also knitted dtersagolf, wide woven
and in bands.
Premet uses quantities of wide
checked woods of contrasting colors
for sporting garments, with big cape
effects. Smart new tailored costumes
with belted fronts have short full
capes hanging at the back. A Pre-
met gown of silver plush dotted with
darker shade, combined with gray
faille silk, is irresistible. White
velvets and serges barred with
colored pamela, narrowly striped
with color, are turned into lovely tea
and dinner toilettes. Matelatine for

coarsest of wool, and knitted der
sagolf in all colors are features of
his collection.
Worths elegant taste is revealed
in rich silks and kashas of neutral
tints with fur trimmings. In place
OF common fur on wooden costumes
he uses thick plush, usine, and new
ederella of tiny stripings or fine
checks that blend well with plain
