stitches on accessories of such sort and
it is used in bold stitches with worstei

quantity than was the case last sea-

UST how it should come about now,

iGcult to understand. but the fact
remains that great deal Of fur is to
Be worn. Reports from Paris tell us
that an abundance Of beaver and Of
autria is shown there and the models
that have reached us emphasize the
feature. We have not worn these furs
Tor some time and the creatures have
had time to grow and to develop.
Perhaps in that fact is to be found the
Why Of the fashion, for there are furs Of
great many sorts that are not OBJ
tainable just now. Beaver, being our
own, has not, of course been influenced
BY. war conditions. Nutria, coming

the grey squirrel has come back into

ful garments. Beaver is always a good
wearing fur, it is always rich and a
handsome fur, and it is pleasure to
say that the natural color is the pre-
terred one. not the dyed beaver that
was supposed to resemble seal when it
had vogue good many years ago.
From the width of the bands of beaver
and the depths of the colors and the
general lavishness of its use, its supply
wouC seem to be inexhaustible. The
:arcer furs, the more costly furs are
being used in greater moderation.
Favorite materials are of the velour
finish, bolivia cloth, duvetyn and the
ike, and the fur is exceedingly beautiful

silk velvet that will be used for dressy

Children's Fashions Show Smart but
Simple Lines---

ME Autumn always brings its
own demands for changes Of
clothing, and there is none more
insistent than that which comes from
the children's contingent. School is
to be considered, playtime must be
remembered, and there are costumes
needed for afternoons and for church
and for the various more formal occa-
sions Of the young peoples lives.
Never have we had more attrac-
tive season. never have we had more
charming models and, happily for
mothers, never have we had season
Of simpler designs. We are entering
a time Of real conservation, and num-
berless women are undertaking the
making Of their children's garments.
Such models as those that are shown
on this page render the task both
simple one and a pleasure. There
are absolutely no difficulties to be met.
Nothing fussy or nothing elaborate is
good style. IN a great many instances.
the one model will serve for various
occasions for It will be made in linen
or in eingham or Of serge for school
and it can be made in taffcta or Of
light colored challis for afternoon wear.
Fashions for the young folk always
follow the genral trend Of those de-
signed for their elders. and the same
simplicity that marks the styles Of the
grown-ups is apparent in the chill
dren's costumes. The little frock that
is made with the plated skirt and
blouse and plain over-bodice gives a
good illustration Of how materials are
combined and what effects can be
obtained. It is Just the simplest little
garment in the world to make for the

in what we know as Oriental or kimono
fashion, and the plated skirt is joined
to it. The over-bodice is made quite
separately and the fronts are extended.
then lined and turned up to form
pockets. It makes such pretty,
charming little frock that it is difficult
to realize how fundamentally simple
it is. If you make it Of checked
Bingham and plain, you will have
school dress. if you make It of plaid
taffeta with plain you will have an
afternoon frock, or, you can vary it
still further by making the over-bodice
and skirt Of one material and the
blouse Of another. Very charming
combinations Of color are used for
girls dresses. Dark blue cotton poplin
for the over-bodice and skirt with
buff, either Of the same material or
lighter one, for the blouse, would make
fashionable combination and most

but the shower proof chevlots are essen
TALLY practical and they come in very
charming colors.
The dress is the simple one-piece
sort that every girl win want. The
model is good for wool serge and for
eabardine for everyday hard usage,
for linen and for galatea and for the
gingham that will be worn until the very
cold weather and for oil washable fab

even the amateur sewer need not
hesitate to undertake it. and It gives
very smart and new lines.
For the little frock that is shown
above It with its plain bodice and
shirred skirt, there are great many
pretty materials. It Is designed for
the younger girls and Is very charms
ing while it shows the very newest
features IN the plain bodice and fancy
skirt. As a matter Of course the
skirt must be Of something thinner to
be shirred successfully. and there are
a great many such to be found in
cotton and in silk. For playtime it
would be made Of gingham or Of cham
bray or Of any material Of such sort.
College girls and boarding school
girls and the erown.ups will like the
design for the cape. It is one Of the
prettiest Of the little shoulder gar
ments that are 20 much in vogue.
You will find It smart made Of fur or
Of fur plush or Of velvet. The fur
plushes are exceptionally beautiful
and are being extensively used. and
velvet always makes pretty wrap
for Autumn. The skirt that 10 shown
with It is one Of the new ones that i

various other styles Of capes that can
be used. but this one with the pretty

attractive one. You could carry out
the color idea in other materials, too.
To the left Of that little frock il
shown service apron, and girls in all
walks Of life are learning the value Of
service just now. They are gladly and
freely giving hours Of their playtime
to work that can be Of help to others
or Of benefit to-the nation, and such
an apron Is sure to be wanted. It Is
slipped on over the head and the
sleeves are cut in one with it, 50 that
any girl who can sew can make it
herself. You will find chambray and
eingham materials Of such sort the
best for the purpose. 1t is well to en-
courage the making Of such simple
garments by the young wearers. This
Is the time for them to learn the
value Of home sewing, also, it is natural
to children to like to do what their
elders are doing. If mothers are sew
ing and making garments why not they.
and the apron makes good one on
which to begin.
No matter how serious the condi-
tons of,life are for the grown-ups
little boys must play and the suit
that is shown away over at the left
Of the figure makes one Of the latest
developments Of the romper idea. It
10 little more advanced than the
romper. yet it serves much the same
purpose. The little trousers are but
toned to the blouse under the wide
belt. II you prefer, you can make the
trousers Of dark colored material
and the blouse Of white. as a blue and
a white galatea or tan and white.
and such combinations are much liked.
Dark trousers are, perhaps. bit more
practical than white ones.
Az matter Of course. a long coat
and a one-piece dress will be needed
by every school girl. and it would be
hard to find better models than those
that are shown in the group. I'm
doubtedly. coat suits will be worn to
great extent by the girls Of twelve
and fourteen, but the long coat always
is practical garment and is the pre-
ferred one for school wear and for
general hard usage. The one that is
shown here Is made Of one Of the new
cheviots showing shades Of brown and
tan that is cgavanette finished, conse-
quentlv, is water proof to great ex-
tent. The collar and cuffs are Of fur.
also the buttons, and trimmings Of the
sort are to make a notable feature OF
the fashions. You could copy the
model in velours for handsome coat
or you could copy it in broadcloth or
Ia velvet or in velvetecn or in corduroy

a novelty. bdt many Of those shown
are quite new. nevertheless. A very
beautiful model is made Of Royal
purple velvet which. by the way, is
the favorite millinery shade, and the
trimming is wide band around the
deep crown that is embroidered in
chenille in fiat, conventionalized fruits
in most fascinating way. In some
instances the embroidery takes such
a. simple form as an outline edge
worked in chain stitch, the inner por-
ton filled with darning Of chenille.
The darning stitch is, indeed, a feature
Of the Fall embroideries. and it is very
pretty used to fiji in the outline that
are worked with chain stitch. Incl
dentally, it is simple, too. 1t is just
one Of those things that it took a
genius to evolve but which can be
copied with ease by any woman who
is at all clever with the needle and has
a sense Of color. Chenille is to be very
lavishly employed both for embroid-
ering hats and in various forms OF
adornment. A very smart model for
a large hat is made with shaped
crown and broad. slightly drapipy
brim that just hints Of the mushroom.
The crown is Of black velvet with
twist and tassell of chenille finishing
it, and the brim is Of lace with por-

about the brim shows these conven-

of them shows slight tendency toward

not few instances they are on
