lament of the many undecided at the
beginning of the season.
1t is quite unnecessary to say that
to be really well dressed one must
be absolutely free from the dominat-
Ing crowd-mind. To feel that one
apparel is exclusively and correctly
separated from that worn by the
ordinary crowd is most satisfying.
A smart looking woman, distin-
guished and well groomed, knows
that the success Of her costume lies
in the fact that it is hers, individ-
ually, as tremendously part of her
as her couture. Since there is no
set mode to adhere to, how wonder
fully simple for every woman today
to consult her own type in dress.
How really delightful to be able to
follow ones own individual taste in
stead of being slave to fashions
whims as were our grandmothers.
The silhouette has changed little
since spring only lengthening out
bit to suit the natural lines of the
figure. In daytime frocks skirt
lengths are still varying but avoid
ing the rather grotesque, extremely
short-skirted models, which have
been SO prevalent during the past
season. No extremely tight skirts
are worn and though there is de-
cided tendency to fullness in the
skirts, 1t is quite. without exaggera-
ton. The extremely short sleeve
has become passe. The three-quar-
ter and elbow length are featured.
Though there is little change in the
neck line of most frocks, the high
neck with frill or extended ,plaitings
is gaining favor among many Of the
very fastidious. NJ
Duyetyn seems symbolic Of fall
and the duvetyn shades, soft golden
brown, misty grays and the warm
reds and hennas express the very at
mosphere., Frocks Of this material
are charming in their simplicity OF
line. Some of these are embroid-
cred and many are combined with
satin. t7E
When one is slim and youthful
and the season is fall, there could be
no lovelier frock in which to pass
the afternoon than taking model of
gray duvetyn. The bodice is charm
ingly simple, with slightly rounded
neckline and long, straight sleeves
loose at the wrists. A bright bit Of
jade cord forms the girdle tied about
the waist line and queer jade en-
broidery is added in patches under
this and is also used to edge the
neckline. On the sides of the skirt
The material is slashed and stands
out like peplum. On the sides be-
leow this are added five tiers with
rounded edges. The front and back
of the skirt are decidedly plain.
Delightfully."- quaint and altogether
charming is an afternoon gown of
black satin. The bodice is fastened
Town the front with little buttons
Ind could almost be suspected of be-
ng basque. The collar is high and
wathed, and the sleeves long. The
'ery full skirt is attached to the
'odice at the low waistline and dips
loWn on either side with a deep
lpstanding satin frill.
Vieing with satin for the after
loon gown are s5ft and clinging
hiffons and georgettes and yelvets,
ich and lustrous in shade.
Only fur Is needed with the tail
red wool frock for early fall, which
axes it's style from the suit. With
hese, colored vestees are shown,
hitch can always be renewed. Col
red embroidery is another interest
lg feature of these frocks, henna
nd jade being combined on one
lodel on the long rever collar and
lffs. Tricotine is the more favored
abric for this type Of frock, but
ome models are in serge. 4
In preparing for the festive winter
sason one does not forget that eve Il
ing gowns are most gorgeous and
very formal type, often being
of metallic fabrics such as
Tin brocade with metal threads or
nbossed velvets Designs are in n
rwoven rather than spotted over
lie surface, and very bright colors "
e introduced, such as gold, fla
lingo, copper, and, in fact, all the
'iental shades However, soft ma
rails like chiffon or tulle are more
'propriate for the ingenue and are
own in many instances with skirts Il
ade in the petal idea. &
After choosing ones gown for eve
ng, there is the evening wrap to d
nsider. One that is unusually en- J.
ancing is in sapphire blue chiffon
lvet with front lacings Of silver
,th, with oriental sleeves, edged
tn fluting of silver and carol COL
l ribbon. Another charming
ap Of chiffon velvet is in deep pur-
} with natural moufflon collar,
ich continues in double tuck from
'oss the center-back, forming
