LANSBURGH WINDOWS
STYLE ENCYCLOPEDIA
Latest in Autumn Fashions Shown
in Wonder Compelling Display

One might go window shopping at
Lansburgh's and conserve time in a
study of autumn fashions, for from
the display of children's clothes, one
gathers an idea of artistic simplicity
carried out in gingham, and linens,
with stylish one-piece dresses for more
formal occasions, and a perfect index
of the wonderfully complete children's
department on an upper floor.
For the woman of fashion there is
study in Memo corsets. carried out
In dainty blue. and designed to fit al
most every style of figure.
In separate waists there is one of
Oxford gray Georgette, embroidered
In cherry red silk and silver beads,
which suggests the distinctive style to
DC found in the hundreds of blouses in
the special department devoted to It,
while modisn dresses. and hats, neck
wear and other accessories seen in the
windows. also serve as a mere sug-
gestion OF the enormous stock to be
found in the store.
An attractive feature OF Lans-
burgh's window dressing and quite
suggestive of their complete shoe de-
partment, is the process of construc-

MIKADO HAT latest
OF MILADY'S FOIBLES
Jap Turban," of Philipsborn &
Co.. Newest Feminine Headgear.

Philipsborn struck the note of up
to-dateness in all their departments
when they introduced to their patrons
of the millinery department the Mi
kado hat, or the japanese turban. 1t
is a clever little round effect in navy
blue velvet. with a finish OF citron
color at the close brim about the face,
and in the button which majestically
finishes the center OF the crown.
OF course it is quite complimentary
to Viscount Ishii. and a bit extreme,
but there are quite as modish hats
along more conservative lines.
Silk beaver enlisted Philippsborn' $
buyer of millinery to almost a greater
extent than anything else. and the
shapes are sufficiently varied to suit
all ages and cast OF feature. Some
OF the wider brims have a fiat trim
ming of ostrich, and one Georgette
model is stTikingly stylish with its
broad brim encircled near the outer
edge with a band OF ostrich while the
feathers furnish a further embellish-
ment about the crown.
The poke bonnet OF our grand
mothers day. and smaller hats, most
OF them with loose crowns, are the
ones most in vogue
This autumn, as always. this store

ford gray being very popular color.
Fur generously used, is on the more
expensive garments, but the buyer
will tell you that it is to be a winter

of fur trimming. In the gowns are
some wonderful creations, one priced
above 800. has the long stole-like Of
feet over each shoulder and reaching
to the hem of the dress is finished with
deep bands of Russian sable, while the
same rich fur shows on other parts
of the creation.

OLWE-HUED SUIT
Feminine CYNOSURE
Leverton Displays Model that Scores
Instant Hit in Fashion World.

Leverton's suit buyer saw won
derful possibilities in the stunning
mixed cloth suit of olive hue. with
a knee-lenGth coat and distinctive
collar. which serves as an index to
their big suit and dress department.
This particular suit shows the de-
Cided tendency to longer coats, and
both the front and back of the coat
are lent fullness by box plaits which
reach just to the waist and are
cleyerly buttoned over the belt, thus
taking away the clumsy effect of
plaits on the waist. The double
breasted front is fastened by a few
large self-covered buttons with some
stitches OF embroidery in the cen
ter. and the high collar of velvet,
full enough to form soft folds, is
fastened with pointed ends at one
side. The cuffs are of the cloth,
and the semi-full, semi-short skirt
has fullness let in at the sides by
two box plaits.
Other models show coats of al
most equal length. one quite practi-
cal yet decidedly modish one, show
ing a box plated skirt set on the
semi-high waist where it is finished
with a belt, while the original touch
is given by the braid binding. well
selected buttons and the carefully
cut skirt.
The one-piece dress of Jersey
cloth which lends itself so grace
fully to the lines of the figure has
called for the special attention of
Leverton's buyer, and the decidedly
sport effect carried out in that cloth
in coat and skirt effects last sea-
son. is entirely lost in the daintily
braided garments with big stylish
pockets and suitable buttons of this
season. These dresses also carry
out the fashionable shades OF navy,
tan and colors.
The serge and satin dresses are
unusually stylish. and the 200 ana
more new suits just opened show
broadcloths. velours. silvertones,
serGes, gabardines, Poiret twill, OK
fords and mixtures.
Waists, hats, and coats have been
selected to meet Washington's de-
mand in material, color and style,
with nice little different touches in
each from those of any other store
in town.

ORIGINAL Designs
FOUND At JELLEFPS
Cylinder Silhouette Is Feature of
Magnificent Display.

The new cylinder silhouette, the very
latest thing in the world of fashion,
is Jelleffs speciality this season, and
1t carries a narrower skirt at the
hem, a higher waistline, wide belt
tight sleeves, a snugly buttoned coat,
and a ravishingly luxurious collar that
muff!es the neck. Silvertones and vel
ours, silvertip burella, Oxford, mel
ton and broadcloths are all carried in
to the winderful effects gained in the
silhouette gown.
There are reproductions of Premet,
DOucet, Michael, Doeuillet and Lam
win, in fabrics as soft as eiderdown,
such as buck cloth and suedes, and
in colors such as we have scarcely
ever seen before. Braiding finds a
place on many of these suits as well
as on the one-piece dresses where
satin and serge and satin and serge
combined find best place.
Silvertone coats as soft as velvet,
warm as fur and light as down. as
the saleswoman assures you, promise
a new place in the world of coats.
and nothing could be better to COM
bine in the wardrobe where many
dresses are used, for their softness
would prevent their ruffling up even
the daintiest fabric. These garments
have rather full skirts, the new plated
back giving the necessary fulIness,
while the smart side belt. deep pockets
and splendidly adapted buttons make
them the most desirable of winter
garments.

Velvet and Wooden Goods Also At
tract Much Attention.

SILK. velvet and wooden goods are
all embraced In the huge stock of
dress fabrics at S. Kann, Sons big
department store, with silks in the
lead as the best seller. Substantial
silks for general wear, dainty silks
for afternoon gowns and the fiimsy
webs that set one wondering how
human hands could weave them, all
combine TO substantiate the belief
of the buyer in a silk season for the
coming winter.
Fashioned in the latest modes these
silks are found in the dress depart

ing styles in the one-piece wooden
dresses, each with a distinctive bit of
cross stitch, over-and-over embroid-

Speaking of stays, they are doing

OF webbing nipped in at the waist,

everything, and then. too. we are glad
