TRIcoLETTE IS NOW TO FORE

7 ernoen Froeks; Good for Wear
Under Heavy Coat

Tricolette has come very much to
the fore as a dress material. A num-
Der of new afternoon frOcks. on the
order of u very beautiful model of
black tricolette which Calot brought
out last season, are being sponsored
by well-known American designers,
and these are particularly good for
wear under a heavy coat, as they do
not muss and are not so bulky as to
distort the line of the outer garment.
Heavy coarse jersey Is also being used
for frocks, and there Is a new fishnet
jersey which has just come from Paris
and which promises to have quite
vogue. Among the novelties In the
more formal silks are new metal bro

COAT IS SHORTER
Three Quarter Length Is Adopted
for Sport Garment.
coIors Continue to se Dull, but New
Note 10 Expressed In Brilliant
llnines.

While the real long coats are still In
favor for the coolest weather, the very
latest models are said to be shorter.
The first and foremost reason for
this Is that probably very few women
wish to appear even a trifle wider at
the bottom skirtline than is absolutely
necessary. Another hint as to coats
Is the new straight line which is now
suggested. Sport coats have already
adopted this new form and the result
Is a return to the three-quarter length
box coat of n few years ago.
Any real changes, however, are not
due for many months, and contradict
ing the straight-line theory comes a
persistent rumor that Alsace-Lorraine
b 20 be the next field Of operations In
fashions. although Il Is hard to see
exactly where the far from artistic
costume of this province can be rec
onciled with the present modes.
Paris fashions have always their lit
tie fling at the passing events, but
spring is a long way of, and should
another country come suddenly for
ward and a diplomatic compliment be
considered due. IL would upset all pre-
vous calculations. For fashion may
be as tickle as she pleases In war or
peace, so there is no knowing what
may happen between now and spring
time in fashions, which is early in
February.

Two good reasons for these decidedly

there seemed no other way to use the

CHOICE OF BLOUSE
Decision on Style Is Of lmpor.
lance to All Women.
Garment to Accompany Suit Should
Blend Properly and Coat Must
Be Long Enough.

Selection of the suit blouse is q
much more important matter than
many women think. II the blouse
chosen to accompany a suit does not
blend properly with the suit the en-
tire outfit appears at a disadvantage,
declares a fashion writer. If the suit
Is a dressy one. the blouse should be
Of the same type. and II a plainly
tailored or sport suit Is worn the
blouse should be equally severe.
The blouse shown in the sketch Is
a smart model for wear with a dressy
suit. The coat Of the suit must be
long enough to cover the entire blouse,
OF course; but suit coats this season
are practically all quite long. Thirty
eight inches Is about the minimum
length. and some reach almost to the
hem of the skirt.
The blouse shown is made of georg-
cite. with the front cut on surplice
lines. The back is plain, finished at
the neck with a little round yoke or
collar embroidered to match the long
llial Sluc
of the front. This blouse would be
smart. made of white geOrgette, with
and piping Of reverS in

is TO be worn may be chosen. This
blouse might also be made OF satin
or crepe de chine, with very good eff
feet.
A great many of the smartest
bIOuSes shown this season combine two
colorS. The upper part or sleeves
may be of rose. with lower half, from
bust to waistline, of navy, or the
entire blouse may be Of rose color
with navy sleeves for example.

These little sleeveless georgetts

A great many tailored crepe de

There are many who believe that II

Of England is long. long spell in his

wore a mantle and the latter a tunic.
Julius Caesar occupied a place In the
sun between these two, but he wore a
toga. Beau Brummel brought in coats
and George ", picturesque as he was
in his costumery, blazed the path for
the ugliest clothes that the men on
this planet have ever worn.
The tunic was a masculine fashion,
as most garments are that women
think are their own. The critics Of
this generation fall upon women and
smite them hard for their fripperies
and frivolities, the whims and caprices
Of their clothing, and yet these critics
are men who do not seem to realize
that all the centuries of progress of
the male part of the human race were
given over to caprice and brilliancy in
apparel, as well as to defeat and vic
tory in arms.
War and the Primitive Tunic.
No doubt the clash Of arms In
France brought back to the minds of
the designers the long centuries of
warfare that had preceded the peace
since 1870. The tunic was the funda-
mental part of the British warriors
costume, and the cuirass-that gilt
tering breastplate of steel and highly
polished metal-was the symbol of all
fighters. So France introduced the |

The winter suits are very stunning.
They are being shown along straight
lines and trimmed with fur.
And now comes the spring suit.
Fashion says II will be of jersey cloth,
with a long tight skirt.
Winter coats, box effect, are being
worn now. though coats are not so pop

ring the winter suit to be worn later
with their furs.
Suits without blouses seem to be
Just the thing now. Instead Of a waist
a vestee Is worn, or in some cases a
dainty piece Of colored silk is tucked
In to give the effect.
Winter coats for the children are
made Of bright-colored broadcloth, with
the yoke waist.
The latest novelty in neckwear is an
apron slipOver made of georgette.
Filet and valenciennes lace now trim
the daintier Waists. while for every

Concerted Offensive Launched Over a Wide FrOnt-Germans FOrestalled in Work of Evac- uating Supplies.

London, Oct. 14.-With the fleet cooperating off the Belgian coast, the British and Belgians have so far ad- vanced about five miles along a 2S- mile front, according to latest word from the fighting line in Flanders.
 The French up to late today had taken 5000 prisoners.
 The British, French and Belgian forces have captured Roulers, the Evening News says 1t understands
 Courtrai is threatened from the north The advance continues. The allies have reached the town of Len delde. four miles northeast of Cour- trai, and the line runs in front of Iseghem.
 (Roulers is the important railway town F miles northeast of Ypres. 1t is the key from the south of the Ger man U-boat bases at Ostend and Zee brugge. The Belgians in their recent offensive captured Roulers, but sub sequently had to abandon it.)
 No preliminary barrage preceded the offensive this morning. No tanks were used. The British drove for ward over a front of 15 kilometers tmore than nine miles), striking out rapidly toward the Confines Menin railroad. The weather is good.
 The Germans have been reported recently to be evacuating their sup plies from the Flanders coast. It is doubtful, however, if they had time to prevent the allies from capturing much material
 The British attack was synchron- ized by equally successful drives by the Belgians and French, the concert ed offensive being launched over wide front.
 The British advance took the gen eral direction of Courtrai GA 1-2 miles northeast of Lille). while the French and Belgians pushed on to- ward Ghent (40 miles northeast of Lille)
