HOW SHALL We BE CLOTHED?
It's time to fold away your sheer
organizes and cool ginghams. The
days of light airy frocks are over and
one must begin to shop for serges
and heavy satins. AS one saleswomau
expressed it: The big people are do
ing 1t you know because they're travel
ing around and are in the east where
everyone does wear wool gowns" And
no one in Topeka wants to be out

goodly supply of fall merchandise and
more is coming every day. For the
most part the dresses are built on the
long straight lines of the past season.
The skirts are narrow but not so mar
row and they are a little shorter.
About seven inches from the floor
will be the average this fall. A good
many of the frocks that have arrived
are of gaberdine so heavy you can
feel definite thickness about it A
striking feature is that they are
trimmed with elaborate braiding and
embroidery in wide strips. There is
one heavy black satin frock embrOi-
dered on bodice and skirt until it al
most stands alone. 1t reminds one of
the dresses of more than a decade ago.
The distinguishing thing about the
new suits is that the coats are longer
than they have been. Most of them
are knee length. Some hang straight
and there is one here with a bloused
jacket trimmed with a great deal of
braiding. The sleeves are a little less
snug than last winter.
A local modiste says there will be
crinoline in the skirts this fall; used
about the hips to give that stand out
effect. And she says the leading color
is to be brown with purple as a second,
and our old stand by, blue, following
along third. A tailored dress of white
chalis is the smartest thing she has
is very popular in the east.
Lingerie-and it deserves a whole
story-is to go back to the old-fash-
toned idea of trimming itself with lace
and ruffles instead of being as prim
and tailored as the on-top clothes.
But that does not mean petticoats are
returning. This is a place milady
can save, and one of the leading
tailoresses will continue to take them
off of her customers.
Hats are to be worn low and straight
on the head as they have been this
summer.
And just one more thing-velvet,
which makes the most fascinating of
winter frocks. will be S12 a yard. And
shoes. they say-but why worry about
that now when the crying need is for
a new gown of heavy gaberdine with
rows of elaborate embroidery around
hip and ankle.

Almost a hundred people spent the
weekend at Lake View last week and
it is expected that as many will go
down today. A feature of last week
which proved very popular and will
be repeated is an II o'clock supper.
