The New FrOCkS i
For Fall Wear

ABOUT pointed neck, WIN very ShOie
sleeves. The design of the embroid-
cry was rather open, made up OF tri-
angles with irregular sides. There
was an oversklrt, accordion pleated,
while the short, tight underskirt was
made OF the serge, showing n line of
the copper embroidery. This was
new combination Of colors and design.
Another nice thing about this costume
was that II was accompanied by
serge cape to match. IL was simply
cut and the embroidery running all
around the ample outlines OF the wrap
matched exactly the embroidery ON
the gown. There was soft copper
colored faille lining.
Embroidery Oh serge is most effec-
tive when II Is done IN the lighter
shades and tones. Serge takes wool
aud silk and metal embroidery equal
~ well, and II holds the stitches IN
place. One serge dress made with
high waist in front and back extend
Ing from shoulders to hem simply
belted at the wnlstline has trimming
OF silk dots In bright colors scattered
about the space over the hips. This
trimming is repeated around the
rounded neck line and again In sim
pie little designs at the edges OF the
elbow sleeves.
Another serge dress In one-piece
style is embroidered in white. Its
straight skirt Is relieved by plated
panels inserted at either side, and
these sections are held In at the hem
by little white embroidered hands.
This gives the skirt the plnched-at-
the-bottom look which so many design
ers are clinging TO. And II Is not
bad style II the skirt is long enough.
One ventures guess that the really
good dressers will never wear their
skirts shorter than II inches above
| the floor though some of the models
now being displayed soar to IA inches
or even more. II Is the same way In
Paris. Those Parisians who like to
dress I'm extreme fashions wear their
skirts short. shorter shortest-but the
really smart people keep theirs at a
uniform length according TO the pro-
portions OF the figure. This matter Of
proportion has much TO do with the
length OF skirts. A tall person can
cnrry n shorter skirt than her four
foot-four sister.
Afternoon Gowns Extremely Simple.
The satin and satin crepe afternoon
gowns are extremely simple as "a gen.
eral rule, but they are interesting and
really feminine. There Is something
about the sOftness OF satin folds that
