way OF this period Of the season. They
follow closely In the trail OF present
fashions, as any wild flights OF fancy
might lead them into untold paths OK
loss and unappreclatlon. The duty,
and, yes, the desire, OF the New York
public is to go on beyond, creating new
types OF fashion which, In their turn.
will be followed just as asslduousiy
by others next season.
The success OF the spring coat ana
the ndaptablllty OF the One-piece dress
have Joined hands, the two making
their autumn bow as a coat dress. OF
course, we have had coat dresses be-
fore this, but the predictions are that
they will be more brilliant achieve
ments this coming season. News from
Paris indicates that we are following
the lead right here, for many OF the
wholesalers have reported that sales
In this particular direction are going
strong.
A new slogan might be: ut Is the
belt that makes the gown for In
many instances all else Is plain, and
the winding around the waist becomes
the center OF the design OF the whols
frock. All sorts OF fancy ribbons ans
brocades are brought into play for this
form Of decoration. Then there are
cords galore, and strings OF beads and
metals TO be used for girdles. ANY
one of them is a thing Of beauty oil
by Itself. and its association with the
gown brings both into relief with a
fascination one cannot fail TO apprecl-
ate.
Wool shaws for Winter.
The desire for Spanish shawls IL
not, II seems. Just an isolated flight,
for we are to have shawls for the
winter, too They are TO be of wool
and embroidered. and. generally
speaking, they are to retain much Of
the grace and charm possessed by tho
highly colored ones OF this season.
Women have found them too becom-
ing TO part with them lightly. and they
are practice, adjuncts TO the ward
robe, 10 be sure. for they can be
thrown across the shoulders careless
ly, yet effectively. II keeping out
frigid blasts happens to be a subject
OF any moment.
The Spanish influence, OF which the
shawl In but one reflection, Is trans
ferrlng itself to evening wraps In gay
Pats. French Indies are taking the
Spanish designs and the Oriental de-
signs, and combining them to make
some OF the best-looking wraps that
have been devised for many long
day. Women are accustomed TO re-
gard their evening wraps as the most
colorful OF their adornments. and. by
this new development OF fashion
they will lose not jot In regard to
smart and becoming embellishments
In the mountains, on the golf course
In fact, when INDUCING In outdoor
sport OF any kind. one wonders why
ladies do not wear "knickers." They
look so free and much more modest
than the short. tight skirts, which
seem to be the only alternative. Be
sides, II is so hard to know what or
earth TO do with the skirts when &C
lively participating in sports. They
manage TO get In ones way In th'
most miraculous manner, while 'knick
ers" do nothing OF the sort. They
keep their place and harmonize with
strenuous activity as though they up
derstood their business perfectly
KnickerbocRer suits are made from
the most delightful sorts OF materials

sportiest look Of any OF the newe
sport clothes, and one might ventur,
TO say they have come to stay.
Prices are dropping TO something
approaching normal. Materials ar
