braid or with slip or underdress of

Many such frocks have high collars
which button tightly about the throat
and are faced with contrasting
cloth.
Autumn skirts are somewhat longer
imam those worn during the spring and
summer. A skirt with its hem ten
inches from the ground is smart, yet
not extreme.
A redingote suit developed In green
veiveteen has plated skirt and the
in Paris fashions? What more refined
than the models which the leading
dressmakers create for their own pri-
vate customers? That this SIM
plicity is greatly admired and much
sought, regardless of the publicity at
tached to the bizarre styles. is proved
by the fact that certain Louses in
Paris who cater entirely to private
trade are sought in roundabout way
by purchasers of models.
One house in particular that has
great Paris following and which be-
cause of this refuses to sell to manu-
facturers or dressmakers, preferring
to keep their models exclusive, can
and do get from their private trade
from 1000 to 5000 francs each for
their simple silk crepe dresses made
without one stitch of embroidery, lace
or trimming of any character. Even
the hens are only hand-rolled. and
the dresses, which are little more
than slips with pendant cascading
panels or handkerchief points, are
without lining, guimpe or undersleeve.
Some of these models have not even
a hook. They slip on over the head
and sash ties around the waist. Yet
for this simplicity and grace the dis
eliminating Parisienne will pay so per
cent more than for dress with trim
ming, which lacks the cachet of SIM
plicity, individuality and perfect cut.
Tailored Suits With Fur.
For the autumn there are charm
ing tailored suits in redingote style
trimmed With fur bands. Sometimes
these redingotes have plated full
ness let into the skirts. Simple fall
dresses also are being shown in both
redingote and apron styles and new
wraps are in perfectly simple outline.
In dresses many variations of the
redingote appear. They may be made
entirely of cloth and trimmed with
coat is trimmed with skunk fur. In
this model we see the beauty and
grace Of the suit with a very long
coat. In past seasons women have de-
clined to accept the long-coated suit,
saying that it had tendency to make
one look older. This, however, is not
true of tile really long coat.
Another example of the redingote
type is evolved from brick-red broad
cloth material, and the trimming is
kolinsky fur.
Ideal Dress for Street Wear.
One of the newest and most popular
blue serge dresses is very much like
the redingote suits in outline. 1t
gives the effect of skirt and q very

piece dress. The trimming consists of
bands of tailor's braid of the same
dark blue hue as the frock. 1t is an
ideal dress for street wear in the au-
tumn.
Braid as trimming has found con-
siderable favor in this autumn's fash
ons. Dressmakers are showing great
IN their methods of using
this trimming. Not content with braid
alone. they have stitched it In silks of
colors and applied # In
ways that give the effect of new and
elaborate embroideries. Often the
)raid is embroidered by hand.

The trimming Is moleskin, fur which
