We are accounted slender nation

which have coats that are much longer
than any which have been shown dur
ing the past two seasons. These coats
reach the knees or extend below them
and. because of the extreme shortness
of the skirts, there Is very little Of the

coats are extremely plain in line. and
the belts are low. And, with our clever

They can achieve that up and down

curved their foundation material may
be. They are really artists in this way.
Fur is being used for trimming on
many Of the suits and gowns, but from
a curSOry view of the models which
have already been shown 1t would
seem as though this material would be
used In less quantity than ever before
The collars, to be sure, are broad and
wrapping in many instances, but the
fur trimmings-as landings and col
lars for dresses and cuffs and various
other bits of garniture-are, as rule.

are applied with considerable perki-

cuffs of former seasons.
Many of the dresses are made of the
various forms of duvetyn which Is
upon the market now in such faScinat-
ing shades. They are more often than

many variations to this theme. You
wonder how there could be such a
difference of design ON models which |
have for their foundation the same
simple idea of one straight line from
shoulder to hem. But each of them
has a fresh note all it's own, proving !
the cleverness of our own American de-
Signers.
Serge is always good for the fall

serge frocks are prettier than those of
former years. On this material en-

Ored embroidery put on in the right

serge of the finer and softer weave is
likely to be as smart or smarter.
