many cases of tricotine which was so
popular last season. Trico1ne as the
word suggests is finer than tr1cotine
/ and softer in texture. This new
fabric is a close rival of poiret twill.
| A Mohawk Canton crepe tucked
| front with silk embroidery makes
one poiret twill dress most attrac-
tive. The coat dress which is slowly
but surely finding an established
place in the wardrobe is shown in
several models at the Adams store
One such dress was made Of poiret
twill and had a vest of grey Can
ton crepe. The sleeves were bouno
in with a close cuff. Grey and blue
silk embroidered the sleeve bands
and the bottom of the skirt. Brown
Canton crepe was another dress ana
it boosted of much brown silk braid.
Simplicity of design marks the fall
dresses. This is possibly due to the
rich materials utilized. Listen to
this one: Black roshanara crepe one
piece dress, made in straight lines
with patch pockets. From the point
ed pockets extended long fringe that
almost reached to the hem of the
skirt.
Black, brown and navy are the
standard colors for fall dresses. Dark
blue Canton crepe was another dress
which would have been very simple
indeed if it hadn't been for the fan
like accordion plated trimmings that
were tackled onto each shoulder with
several on the skirt.
And the coats. Last year one
would have said, surely winter coats
cannot be any richer than they are
this year. But now in the fall of
1921 the winter coats are richer
and warmer and more attractive
than ever. Cut bolivia, Pollyanna,
Ermanine, Ramona Kashmire Ra-
dunn are some of the fabrics.
Great, big deep fur collars that
can tuck up under her chin or go up
over her face and hide from view
way up to her eyes make the winter
coats the beautiful things they are.
Then there are deep cuffs, some Of
them reaching almost to the elbows.
One of the most stunning coats
shown at the opening was of Malay
brown Ramona-which means deep
rich shade of brown in a deep al
most velour like cloth so deep is the
pile There were taupe wolf collar
and cuffs. The front of the coat was
straight and very Russian in cut, the
back of the coat showed a string belt
that fastened together in the back
and hung down ending in nice. big
tassel.
Malay brown was found again in a
coat of KaShmire radient. This coat
had 9 beaver shawl collar. Pollyanna
cloth in Sorrento blue was another.
Large sleeves which in themselves
formed almost all of the waist of the
coat were cut on raglan lines. There
were side back ha.ngings. In the back
and beneath the hangings were seen
the same material with a checked
effect brought out by silk stitching
in the same color.
Suits have long coats, skirts with
not much change from last year,
much chenille trimmings and deep
collars and cuffs. Duvet is new
material found in the suits. A navy
duvet has chenille embroidery. Its
collar was of moleskin and crossed
in front, fastening in the back. The
new large cuff sleeves were also rich
ly embroidered.
Fur coats are most reasonable in
price this year. says Mr.. Patterson,
manager of the third floor. For that
reason. Adams company has a SPLEEN
did line of them. Hudson seal and
| French seal are shown with other
fur collars. The raccoons are shown
with alarmingly reasonable prices
attached.
I For the woman who does not want
TO put her money into a fur coat
there are the plush coats, some plain
and others with fur collars
Fuchsia shades are popular in
millinery is what was heard Wednes-
day in the millinery department.
Puppies and henna are also good.
There are so many shapes that no
real definite style can be called a
novelty. The Spanish trimming with
rings, fringes and lace is especially
good and can be developed in the ex-
IRENE and the conservative. This
was most aptly demonstrated in the
wide range of styles which were
shown.
Chenille trimming while good on
suit and coat trimmings is also find
ing much favor on the hats. One
hat seen Wednesday was of a sim
pie short trimmed effect. 1t was
/ black and underneath was lined with
| Madelon blue. Long chenille stream
ers were attached to the right side
| of the hat. The streamers were SO ,
long that they extended almost down |
to the bottom of the skirt.
The newest things being shown in j
the waist department are the 'ju-
pom" which are more than waists but |
are not quite dresses as the lady in
charge will tell you and as you will |
readily see when viewing them. One
'jupon" was in black crepe de chine
with much accordion plating in the
sleeves and down the PARKWAY skirt
Another one was in black with white
shiny beads to make it more at
tractive.
The blouses for the winter suits
are exquisite. Beads and heavy silk L
embroidery transform a plain georg L
cite blouse into a thing of beauty. Il
Some very beautiful blouses are on
display.
Mohawk, yellowstone are some of /
