FROM THE SHOPS

The shops are fascinating at all
times of the year, but Spring, Fall and
Christmas appeal to me more than
any other. Christmas we all love,
with the windows filled with toys and
gifts and surrounded by evergreens
and the seasons festooning. But dur
ing the Spring and Fall we arc on the
watch for the new models, and Milady
passes many hungry moment before
the huge plate glass that protects an
exquisite evening gown or wrap, tail
ored suits with smart lines and the
new millinery which appears here and
there.
Tho fall styles are moro elaborate
than those displayed last Spring
beads arc used extensively as trim
ming, many Of the serge frocks are
embroidered with very effective pat
terms. Worsted is used some also.
Duvetyn hats are quite the rage and
some very lovely ones have seen in
reindeer or French blue. The rein
deer duvetyn hat, which would be so
charming on the slender young girl.
was fashioned in semi-tam O. shan
er shape and embroidered around the
coronet brim with tan and deep red
worsted.
The colors used this season are rich
and artistic, pheasant, chow, dull rust
shade and browns are prominent. The
shapes vary in size, some are large,
others medium and small. Trimmings
of ostrich, coke, monkey fur, embroi-
derry and rich metal and Chantilly
aces are used effectively.
To return to the frocks for the
young girl or matrons, you may see
from the description of this dress that
the pretty frocks from pretty little
pleatings grow, and for the studious
girl is this model of fine navy serge,
straight of line and very conservative
of trimming. Two pleated panels hang
from the waist, which is girdled in
bright Oriental silk. Milady would
like plaid skirt to add to her ward
robe, for one wool plaid skirt makes
many costumes; it gives variety to the
tailored suit, it will 60 with the sports
jacket or fur coat, it is absolutely
right with the favorite sweater and
is always correct with the tailored
tub blouse. Many models may be
found especially rich in coloring and
good in fabric. In the college ward
robe one georgette frock is necessity
for those many formal affairs that lend
zest to college life. Navy, brown or
taupe are colors which intend that its
days of usefulness shall not be num-
bered The tailored skirt blouses are
an absolute necessity, for the school
or college miss never has too many
of these. They are tailored in simple,
becoming styles with smart collars and
good buttons Easy to launder, and
that, as you know, is a most important
away from home.
For the very young girl, what
pleased me more than any model in
the extensive stock of each shop that
l visited was the bloomer dress. A
navy blue serge frock with detachable
boomers. Could anything be more
practical or more girlishly becoming,
when it is made in Mother Hubbard
fashion with yoke shocked prettily
n bright-colored yarn and neat pom
gee collar as finishing trick?
Here is coat after mothers own
heart. 1t is fashioned from heavy,
serviceable worsted cheviot with
warm flannel lining. The daughter
will love it also, for it has the big
smart collar and the pockets are deep
enough for real use on cold mornings.
One wonderfully attractive model from
an unusual collection of gowns for the
debutante, was of duvetyn, richly en-
broidered in worsted and luxuriously
trimmed with fur.
Gowns of silk duyetyn for women
are found in several distinctive models
among them the Redingote effect AMI
versions of the tunic and straightiine
modes Some are combined with satin
and duvetyn. Wide sashes, vestee3
and collar of filet, artistic beading ard
embroidery are employed as adorn-
ment.
