SO far as sleeves of indoor frocks
are concerned, you may do exactly as
you like; they may be short, medium
length, or quite long; and they may
be tight or leg o. mutton. This Is
most convenient season; everything
seems to be fashionable. On all sides
we see the tunic girl and the pannier
girl walking arm in arm, and the same
may be said of the girl with bare arms
and the one of the demure long

Some OF the new dance-tea frocks
are delicious. and really most of them
are formed ON straight outlines,

introduced with the aid of wide RIB

NEW FALL DRESSES OF WOOL
First Line Of Styles VIII Be OF Popular
Fabric, Serge and Trieotine
Predominatine.

The first line of fall dresses to be
brought out will be OF wool fabric,
serge and trlcotine predomlnating.
The low waistline Is arrived at In
various ways. One frocl seen In the
advance showing has fitted upper
section of metal cloth reaching about
TO the hips, with serge skirt attached.
There is no Indication of nipped-ln

Ice simply follows the natural lines OF
the figure, closely but not snugly. This
condition exists in all except the
models where plated skirts appear.
When unplaited, close reefed is the
rule.

CONTRAST IN SPORT SUITS
Range Appears In Development
OF Outfits.

The smartest and most approved
sport suit for summer wear consists
of contrasting skirt and jacket. The
widest possible color and fabric range
appears lS the development of these
suits. velours duvetyn and angora In
high colors being used ms material for
coat or jacket. with skirt of plaid or
striped material In blending or widely
contrasting colors. Black velveteen
jackets are worn with skirts of all
kinds.
The sllp-Over jacket is featured con-
siderably, but It Is not really as com
Portable garment as the one that
buttons at the front or side. The slip
over jacket has the same disadvan-
tnges as the slip-over sweater A
woman must remove her hat and gen.
orally dlsnrrange her hair TO get the
sllp-over coat or sweater Off and, as
every woman knows, warm weather
makes the wearing OF coat for an
extended period rather uncertain.
Both plaided and striped effects are
frequently arrived at through the use
of stitching. II is possible to make
very handsome sport suit that appears
to be OF two fabrics by stitching the
material for the skirt. collar, cuffs and
perhaps belt pocket laps and scarf in
stripes or checks with heavy elk or
wool In contrasting color.
Heavy cottons and linens are also
used for summer sport suits. A black
and white cotton recently seen had
trimming OF many landings Of white
braid, while heavy gray linen had
the coat trimmed with white pique.

Transparent Wraps.

Nets and velllngs, as well as chif-
fons are used to make transparent
wraps. When worn over bright col
ored frock or n gown with huge,
brlght-colored sash, the effect is beau
tiful, for the wrap serves to shadow
the frock. The sashes and other
bright-colored garnitures are lovely.

much in the way of inspiration to be

lace-preferably Chantilly.

FASHIONS IN BRIEF

Knife plating is being accorded
great deal OF favor.
Striped skirts are now active rivals
of the big gay plalds.
Parasol materials are silk, net, lace
and cretonne, as well as linen and
fur.
Cretonne Is being featured as an at
tractive trimming by some OF the
smart designers.
The fine dotted veil Is the most pop
ular just now and shows gray and
brown as the newest colors.
The short sleeve, with long glove
wrlnkled so as to cover the hand only,
Is emphasized as an approved style.
The canlsole skirt Is the latest ad-
dition TO smart woman's wardrobe.
II is plated model. hung from
loose-vested blouse which matches the
skirt.
One of the newest and smartest
trimming touches used on taffeta
frocks consists of landings of narrow
straw braid In vividly contrasting
color. II Is not stlff hat braid, but
something very soft, and II is often
applied In odd-shaped motifs as well
as In straight band effect.

During the war, and especially
when Ii was fashionable to go about
tanned to deep burnt almond, the
parasol was discarded; but this sea-

the war is to be blamed for the dis
appearance of flowers as well. Now,
however, the parasol has returned,

together. Throughout the gracious days

Faint rumors OF fall styles herald

Le Jeune Now Heads Marines

Maj. Gen. John A. LeJeune, who
