The One Piece Frock.
1t is like discussing the war to touch
upon the subject OF the chances Of
the tailored suit as against the one
piece frock. The conservative people
say that both types Of street costume
will be worn by the majority OF women.
Those, however. who feel that con
servation in purchasing as we'll as in
materials is needed lean toward the one
piece frock if there Is to be only one

blue serge than France. America uses
| more brocaded materials, or rather
old-faShioned fabrics that have a
raised velvet surface on a transparent
background, and France uses more
satin than America for evening and
afternoon gowns. 1t is a very heavy
kind Of satin, that has almost the ap-
pearance of jersey.
Both France and American unite In
splashing their gowns with woollen
embroidery. and both countries use
velours de laine as a standard fabric
for tailored suits and frocks.
America believes in the reinstating
of the coat and skirt for everyday
use, and Paris, while agreeing to this
idea, continues to create one piece
frocks of soft thin materials to be
worn under heavy coats. America
makes her coat suits OF heavy ma
terials and trims them with fur.
Both use a quantity OF soft velvet
for evening gowns, and Paris uses
more metallic fabrics for new kinds
OF cuirass bodices to join up with
heavy street skirts. America relies
more on the separate bodice, to be
bought at the shops, made OF geor-
gette. fine muslin. chiffon or lace.
France uses more black, elaborately
trimmed with metal and colors. for
evening and afternoon, and America
uses more soft, bright blue and flame
color for evening gowns. France does
not show as much gray as we ex-
pected.
1t might be said that the only
strong, essential point of difference is
the draped skirt for evening instead

What We VIII Wear ON street.
The French gowns which arrived in
September have already given inspira-
ton to hundreds of American dress
makers. who bought them up as rapid
ly as the purchases could be made.

market, because they present alluring
tricks and combinations to which the

Keen Shopping
Is Due to War

! A HERCHANTS and saleSpeople
| Nj who keep their eyes open
say that women are shop
ping around good deal this autumn.
Not that women don't usually shop
around good deal. Before war be-
gan and gave n lot of leisured women
something really worth while to do
they used to haunt the stores more
than they do now. They weren't
really shopping most of the time-they
were simply killing time in an atmos-
phere of smart clothes and accessories
that appealed to them.
But now when the observation is
made that women are shopping
around one means that they are ac-
tually going about with critical eye
and analytical mind seeking first in
this store and then in that the suits
or coats or dresses or hats or Access
sories that they want for the autumn.
Perhaps never before have women
buyers been so critical. The craze
for getting ones moneys worth has
increased with the rise in prices and
with the many demands that come
on all sides for such money as women
can save.
Now when woman shops this au-
tumn, what she still wants first and
foremost is something smart. So the
producer OF women's apparel-if any
such there were-who thought that
just because OF the war he could flood
the market with styleless, shapeless but
substantial garments was very much
mistaken.
Added to style the war shopper
really does want something that shall
be serviceable. Women with foresight
are preparing for another cold winter.
so an additional question that they ask
about the clothes they buy is, "Are
they warm enough?"
Then, too. women are not getting so
many clothes this year as in other
years. and for that reason they are
looking for suits and frocks that will
do double duty. No. they are not in
terested in those inside out frocks that
were launched early In the game. but
II they get a street suit they want
one that Will do to wear with rather
fancy blouses as we'll as with a morn
ing shrtwaist.
They are looking for coats that will
do for afternoon and evening or for
morning and afternoon. II they are
planning to get three hats instead of
six. then obviously more will be ex-
pected OF each one OF those hats and
possibly twice as much time will be
spent on deciding on II. because there
] are only half az mauv hats "a usual.

and these extend as far below the
hips as the coat permits. The woman
who wants a short Jacket, however,
will take up the idea of Cheruit. 1t is
a bit less informal than the cuirass
idea, and such a blouse can be worn
with any kind of jacket, especially
