Outlined by Visiting Designer
Ora Che, of New York, Former Local Man. Tells What
Mlady Will Choose for Evening, Afternoon,
Street. Shopping and Matinee

Coming fall and winter fashions are
to offer an amazingly large variety
from which the American woman may
make selections for her evening and
afternoon gowns, as well as street
gowns and suits for shopping tours
and the matinee, according to Ora
Che, of New York City, skilled de-
signer of woman's apparel, who, with
his little daughter, Flo Rose, is max
ing a visit in this city with relatives.
Mr.. Che, who is an Indiana man, be-
gan his career in this city 33 years
ago, working for the princely sum OF
SIS a week
At present he is devoting his time
in making trips from New York to
other parts of the country giving Rec
lures and demonstrations in clever
and practical ways by which women
may replenish their wardrobes with
a little ingenuity and seemingly use
less things they have laid away.
Mr.. Che attributes the fact that
fashions are so diversified to the fact
that Paris designers as well as the
most noted New York artists are
sponsoring something different. Paul
Poiret says he does not care who sets
the styles so long as he can create
Paul Poiret apparel, which seems TO
represent the attitude of others as

Styles in Hats
Smaller hats are still to be the IA &c
with many this winter. However, the
large hats which are being turned out
by the hundreds in Paris. are again
TO enjoy a vogue commencing in the
late fall and winter, Mr.. Che states
Fabric hats are still to maintain their
popularity, duvetyn and duvenor De
ing used a great deal. Many OF the
first fall hats are black and white
creations.
Colors are to play an important
part as always. The Pillar box red,
which is very popular in Paris. wtal
be not the least popular on this side
of the water, Che predicted. Bishop
purple promises to be even more popu
lar than brown this winter, although
brown will still be much in vogue and
more popular than the blues and other
colors. The new Bishop purple diff
fers from the royal purple, which has
more blue than red in 1t as the red
predominates in the Bishop shade
Cafe au lait is also to hold a place
among the most desirable shades this
year.
Favor Scarab Green
Orange is to be very good with
browns, Che says. Evelyn Varon Is
sponsoring the combination orange
and henna, which is said to be very
daring and very wonderful. Henna
itself is still to be one Of the accepted
shades. The vivid scarab green
which is excellent for the blonde, Is
appearing in some of the newer things
in combination with black and silver
Taupe colors are recommended by Mr.
Che for the woman with gray hail
which was once brown, the taupe be
ing made by mixing brown with grey
A new shade, called mist gray, is to
be INTRODUCED for the woman with
gray hair. The Bishop purple and
American Beauty red are to be worr
by the white-haired woman this win
ter, Mr.. Che stated.
A marked preference for high color:
that flare at the top will be noticeable
in the coming fashions. The couture
will change little except that the hal
is to be raised so that the ears peel
out.
Length Of Skirts
Skirts are to be longer" says Dam'
Fashion And yet difference o
opinion still exists in Paris resultin,
in the fact that some Of the most ex
elusive shops are still turning out thu
very short skirts while still other
are showing them ankle length. TIL
accepted length, between the two ez
tremes, however, is said to be sever
inches from the ground. Poiret i
very partial to the bouffant skirt II
his newest creations, it is said. TIL
