New Designs in
One-PieCe Dress

feet that the skirt is little wider than
the bodice
Doubtless we shall grow a little
tired of the emphasized trimming on
the hips, but at this time it is we'll to
recognize the fact that this sort of
trimming is a distinct feature in the
one-piece gown.
The coat dress Stimulating jackets
or longer coats is ideal when devel-
oped in navy blue serge or duvetyn
or tricolette The latter fabric will
probably be superseded as the season
advances except in those cities where
the climate permits lighter weight fab
RIGS than the woolen.
| have observed a very charming
coat dress of dark blue serge with a
tight, narrow underskirt of the serge,
ankle length, and over which there
hangs tunic of the serge somewhat
fuller than most we see. The upper
part Of this dress has a short Elton
jacket faced down the front with scar
let broadcloth, and this is toned down
with black soutache The scarlet
cloth forms rather narrow vest and
a belt extending all the way around
the waist. The sleeves are long and
tight, of the coat type, and button at
the wrist. This is an ideal morning
dress for shopping or other practical
street wear. Soft fur collars of fox or
lynx are worn with this kind of dress.
French CfuIec Modified
The duvetyn frOcks are particularly
lovely this year. They do not follow
closely the French abbreviated sleeves
and skirts, though the general idea of
the French dresses, uncorseted, loose
and scant, has been followed and mod
flied to suit the American wearer.
Many of the duvetyns have elaborately
embroidered motifs on the skirts.
Some have aprons of cloth thickly
stitched with contrasting silk in good
designs which enhance the beauty Of
the dress. They all have for the most
part the new square cut neck, not
nearly SO decOllete as earlier models
were, and the sleeves may be short or
long, as preferred. If short, they reach
well to the elbow and flare. The longer
sleeve is of the most tailored coat type
and buttons at the wrist. Some of the
makers do not adopt this method Of
closing a sleeve,
Fringe, ruffles and ribbons are to be
reckOned with this fall. AS to the
fringe, many of the Partisan gowns of
the most elaborate materials show it
used in the most lavish way For in
stance, over a gown Of black satin
there Is placed an overdress of long
hangs from the neck to the hem. At
the waist the fringe is held in with a
string belt ending with long silken tas-
sells. From underneath this belt the
long ends Of the fringe hang out, and
as they flare with every movement Of
the wearer the effect is distinctly Ha-
waiian or Samoan, where short skirts
of a curious straw fringe are worn.
Two of these fringed silken frocks
appeared the other day and were OBJ
served by all with intense interest,
though the wearers scarcely seemed
conscious of the concern they created.
Fringe on Duvetyn Dresses.
The duvetyn dresses, too, are being
trimmed with this long fringe, as, for
example, one finds taupe duvetyn
with the bodice made entirely of an
uncut silken fringe placed over the
duvetyn. The long apron tunic re-
y,oo+c a row Of tho friDUn o1OnO tho
edge. Nothing has been more inter-
esting than the continuation of this
fringed trimming. 1t was so exploited
two seasons ago that it comes as a
slight surprise that it is still famed
just now and seemingly more than
ever. Undoubtedly we shall see much
use of ribbon.
