Old Greece is
/. In Style Note

an unusual mixture OF fashions. Span
ish styles have not rellnqulshed their
hold. Many ideas are still gathered
from the picturesque costumes of
Spain.
There are several things, however.
upon which all agree--the slender sill
houette, the more somber cOlOrs for
day time wear-black. browns ard
grays leading-and, striking contrast
to these, brilliant hues for the evening.
They agree, too, I'm the tendency to-
ward the high collar, long sleeve and
the unevenness OF skirts at the hem.
which tends to make them more grace
full. All OF these points are brought
out In every collection. The collec-
lions are being constantly augmented
and we may expect grent many In
teresting developments from the nu-
merous ideas already advanced.
Dresses that ft In with the present
day fashions may be made by using
the forms Of the ancient Greek cos
tunes with few changes. In an inter
esting frock we see the straight Greek
dress Of about the Sixth century. The
embrolderies are exact copies of those
used on an old Greek costume. In the
sleeve lies the only real change In the
design. medium shade OF tan duve-
tyn Is used for this frock and the en-
brolderies are In beautiful shades OF
brown. A narrow belt OF brown leath.

Model Of Moussellne.
An interesting model is developed In
coral mousseline de sole and gold
cloth. with coral chains forming a cir
die and shoulder straps. II will be re-
called that the ancient Greek military
dress showed plalts and even that OF
the present day carries a remnant OF
the idea OF plaitings which were SO
Characteristic of the costume OF
Greece during the height of their Inn
perial glory.
We usually think Of Greek dresses
as having been simple and beautiful
always. consisting of the straight
chlton--a garment which was cut and
partly sewn--or the costume achieved
entirely by means Of drapery. The
Greeks. however. had changing fash.
Ions, Just as we have today. There
were periods OF overelaboration, which
saw the dress laboriously and artin-
clally folded.
A Greclan effect with plalts. very
much modernlzed, is developed In pale
blue crepe Roman. In color this model

and gold. the latter forming the en-
broidery and bands on the skirt and
on the jacket A big double looped
sash at one side Is seemingly a con
tinuation OF the crepe bodice.
Autumn Models Have Plata
Any number Of the smartest models
for autumn have plalts. Coats, suits
and frocks fresh from their recent
voyage from Paris show plaits OF every
kind and description. which indicates
that Il Is impossible TO go too far with
this trimming to please women.
One of the most extreme uses OF
plaits for the new season appears on
a model suit developed In beautiful
crepe Roman. Black Is the color Sc
lected for this suit. the coat OF which
is very long and slightly blouslng nj
low waistllne. The sleeves ar'
loose and cut In one with the garment
itself The interesting application OF
plaits lies In the form OF fan
shaped panel on the jacket This
panel has hne horizontal plalts placed
ms closely together as possible. These
lie very fiat. The skirt has n CORE
spending plated panel In the front
which hangs few inches below th'
hem OF the skirt itself. A lovely white
embroidery and white fox collar ant
cuffs emphasize the vogue for blael
and white. A band of the embroidery
Is placed down either side OF the pane
and around a shoulder and back YOKE
In the coat.
