New Styles for
the Fall Suits

are selected with the greatest Of care.
The black and white effect is carried
out In buttons, which are black, with
inset disks Of white and Of an unusual
oblong shape. The lining Of the coat
Is black satin, with insets Of white
satin In the form Of trianges giving
the effect Of a bold patterned black
and white silk.
Several of the exclusive dressmak-
ing establishments are making blouses
of fine white linen. batiste or organdle,
to accompany their tailored suits.
These tuck In at the waistlIne and
close in the front after the manner Of
a sport shirt or a plain shIrtwaist.
The chief interest in these blouses lies
in their collars, which are Of the pIalt-
ed ruff variety. reminiscent Of the days
Of Queen Elizabeth. Some take the
form of wide huted friIIs falling from.
the top Of straight tight-httlng COL
lar that buttons tightly about the neck.
These rufrs, as well as jabot frills
down the front, are usually bound with
black, although occasionally a bright
color such as pink or cherry red Is
used. Blouses with rufrs are includ-
ed in the costume because of the I'M
usual neck finish, which adds consiJ-
cradle distinction to the tailored suit.
The black suit described hns a white
organdle waist with a plated ruff
ribbon cravat fastens the collar.
Waistconts OF heavy silks or linens
with sleeves and backs of thin mate
rial, are part of some new three-pIece
suits. The vest Is long. falling several
inches below the waistline, and has
smart patch pockets. The back por-
ton finishes with band at the waist
line. A suit OF black and white striped
worsted has such a waistc0at Of white
silk with the back portion and sleeves
of white chiffon plalded with black
stitching.
Points Of interest In suits other than
| the silhouette are the materials. the
colors and the trimmings. There Is a
revival of old-fashioned smoOth-fin-
lshed cloths such as broadcloth,
velours and duvetyns are important
Black, browns and grays are the lead
ing colors, with, of course, navy blue,
which is always popular with Ameri-
can women, regardless of what other
colors may be advocated by those who
make fashions.
Drop Fur for Trimmings
There Is q tendency to depart from
fur as a trimming, except In very high
priced suits. The cost of tailoring anC
materials Is so great at the present
time that fur-trimmed suit is almost
prohIbitive and may be classed among
the luxuries. Braids, wool stitching
and patent leather bands are used IN
lieU Of fur. Bands of plated or fluted
cloth are used profusely. These are
sometimes lined with a contrasting
color In the form of piping to produce
q very pretty color effect. These
strips of fluted cloth give almost the
appearance of bugles.
That the minds of dressmakers ant
milllners are working along the same
lines Is evlnced by the hat worn with
this suit, which, although not made es
peciaHy Tor II, carries out the same
idea. The crown and upper brlm are
of blue velvet, while the facing Is yell
low silk. The brim Is encircled by
yellow bugles that give the same eff
feet as the plated sections Of cloth
on the suit.
Braid Is used in such quantities thai
the designers ingenuity has beer
taxed to the utmost III working oui
new ways of applying it. An original
method of using braid is seen In anoth
er suit. Wide. fiat silk braid of a very
dark blue. to match the velours from
which the suit is fashioned, Is run
through Sits cut in the cloth. 1t Is
not stitched to the material, but hangs
loose. At the end Of each strand Is a
puffy ornament formed of the braid.
