Style Hints From
the Shops

Our wanderings about town during
each golden autumn day, reveal stun
ming frocks, faithfully interpreting
the ultra-fashionable tendencies of
the advancing season.
Youthful and full of that delight
full lithesome grace so evident in the
higher cost Afternoon modes now ap-
pearing on the Delaware avenue and
elsewhere. They are trimmed with
contrasting colored embroideries, gay
colored silks adding an effective note
Of autumnal brightness to their con-
sentative simplicity. One beholds
long, slim lines, with novel treat
ments, novel tunics, new neck lines
and sleeves.
The fiaring skirt is an attractive
idea and with it we find the long
sleeve for winter warmth. In fine
wool tricotine it reflects fashions
newest whims and fills decided wont
for the woman in quest of a really
modish frock that will give unusual
service.
In one of our great shops I saw
two charming and distinctive models
one in the overblouse mode with
beading in black and red at the neck
and sleeves. The second model is
the straight-line effect, exquisitely
beaded in self color.
Satin afternoon gowns, so lovely in
every detail, will be found, though
their chic and harm cannot be
transferred to print scarcely.
Developed in lustrous satin or crepe
meteor and showing the new girlish
waist line, these fascinating little
gowns boast of a straight or flared
tunic with rows of tiny buttons and
pretty lace or ribbon concentrations.
Something extremely new is the
oriental patent leather establishment,
as youthful as it is novel. For the
young school grl found taupe satin
with bouffant petal tunic, the novelty
roll collar smartly embroidered with
colored raffia. A girlish brown satin
model has the oriental skirt with the
novel accordion pleated ruffle at hem,
waist and sleeve.
For Milady's afternoon wear the
oriental designs seem to predominant
and Madam will have that in this
black gown of kitten ear crepe with
it's air of simple elegance. Deep
fringe of cut jet beads forms the col
lar, which ends the short sleeves and
edges very smart tunic.
Picture anything lovelier, I ask
YOU, than henna duvetyn used with
French art on an embroidered frock
of navy blue. The lines are slim,
smart, grlish, and the sleeves are
short.
Among the coats and wraps we find
ONE identified new notes. Many are
.opies and adaptations of imported
models and they carry an air of style
and chic, largely traceable to French
inspiration. Some accentuate Ines
that swing from the shoulder
traight and soft; others drape them
selves with Partisan grace and display
generous half-sleeves. For warmth
comfort and beauty, you have the
large crushable collars Of self ma
lterial or of French seal. They are
refreshing new in style some being
fashioned of Bolva, others of fine
lsilvertone, velour or. broadclotn.
Many are trimmed with seal or opos-
sum.
The straight line, clinging styles
are artfully draped in the crepe like
effects. The medium top coats of all
wool polo and Normandy mixtures
are fully silk lined and warmly inter
lined, and the same applies to the
swagger, belted styles in imported
Scotch tweeds. The values in suits
are truly staggering, and picture this
one WIFI lCS ldSlllOlldDiO AoAAS NOe~S'
in heather mixture in gay green or
reindeer, with seal as trimming on
hte layback collar and oddly pleated
belt.
Slender lines are accentuated In
lanother model by narrow pleatngs'
and a tiny collar making this suit OF
oxford cloth very smart indeed. The
lcuff stitching is particularly new.
To return, for a brief period, to
the afternoon gown, what is more
charming than the one-piece tailored
dress which fills an important place
lin every woman's wardrobe? Satin OF
superior quality. the fashionable de-
mand Just now, is developed in chic
youthful little frock Of which the
feature is the two-tiered skirt OF deep
pointed accordion plated friils'
edged with MORE ribbon; and in an
other smart model of the Moyenage
