Soft Material Promises to Be Chief
Favorite This Season-Ta ailcred
Blouse in Favor.

It is predicted that velvet will ne
the most popular of all materials for
fall. The chances are that the designs
will be simple in the extreme, allow
ing the beauty of the material ana
the line of the gown to be the chleE
attractions. Somehow this material
is receiving more attention in ad-
vance fashions than is its sister fabric,
fluvetyn. But which will win in the
race for favor can only be told after
the season is fairly started and wom-
an have decided as to which they real
ly prefer.
For wear with suits it seems prob
able that the tailored blouse will con-
tinue in popular favor. 1t has GER

FASHIONS IN BRIEF

Puffed sleeves are quaint for girl
ish afternoon dresses.
In evening slippers, as well as after
noon pumps and street shoes, low
heels appear.
Some new white kid gloves have
gauntlets trimmed with tails of mon
key fur and jet beads.
Gowns and chemise are frequently
unstitched at the side seams. showing
instead a lace edging and ribbed bows.
Broadtail, including the taupe va
riety, Persian lamb and black caracul
will be among the featured furs.
The suit craze for the moment is
one-button jacket, snug fitting sleeves
and small collar
In novelty jewelry. circle pearls
take first place, pearl bracelets, ear
rings and tassels suspended on cord
being among the favorite forms.
The topcoat on tailored lines, to
be worn for the same purposes as a
mans topcoat, /. e., over suits as well
as frocks, is growing in popularity.
Pasted owls heads are particularly
in favor for use on white hats, usually
those developed in baronette satin or
felt. The heads are perched high on
the front of the crown.
Many pretty collars and cuffs are
shown for sweaters and sport dresses.
but there is no great variety of types
in these, as they conform more or less
to the outline of the sweater neck.

LEATHER FRINGE" NO JOKE
White Kid New and interesting Trim.
ming Used on Satin and
Crepe Frocks.

White kid is one of the new and in
teresting trimmings used on black
satin and crepe frocks. A black frock
has white kid applied in the form of
fringe. Twelve rows, each about an
inch and a half deep, finish the bot
tom of the skirt, two rows appearing
on each sleeve and as border for the
round cape collar.
This collar, by the way, sometimes
reaching almost to the waistline. is
shown on quite a number of the early
fall frocks. Naturally a slender fig
ure is required if the collar or cape
is to be becoming, and regardless of
the fact that statisticians have pro-
duced figures to prove that about 48
per cent of the total female popula-
ton should be listed in the ''stout"
class, straight. slender, youthful fig
ures are seen in abundant numbers.
The frock fastens in the back and
is finished at the waiStline with a
folded white kid belt, which is caught
together at the back with an ornas
mental buckle.

choice. Perhaps you are one of those
fortunate individuals who always look

Care of the Hair.

Many have the habit of back comb
ing the hair to make it look fluffy.
This cannot be done without some in
jury to the hair, but it can be so care
fully done that the injury will be
slight. A great deal depends upon the
manner in which the comb is inserted.
Put it in on slant, not straight
across, and you will find that it will be
much easier to .disentangle and there
will be no necessity for breaking the
ends.

a stock of pretty neckwear plays
an important part in any woman's

whose clothes are more simple than
those of her debutante sister. COnse-
quently they require the small touches
which metamOrphose "A frock or suit

changes of dress than one actually
has.
Sweaters more than any other ar
ticle of dress have done great deal
for neckwear. About year and a
half ago all Of the best dressmakerS
featured the lingerie neck finish. and
much was said and written about it
as being the return of well-liked but
for time neglected fashion which
would be joyfuIly accepted by all
women.
This was not verified. While every
body knows that touch of white at
the neck makes a gown more becom-
ing and woman appear more
youthful, for some reason the plain.
collarless neck has been preferred.
1t is the tailored suit and the
sweater that keep the neckwear busi-
ness thriving The wearing of one
piece dresses for such a long time
was rather severe blow to this
dainty detail of dress. The recent re-

with the open front requiring a hand

while the tight-tailored suit makes you
look like a caricature or vice versa.
