The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1921-09-09

MOODS and modes--how inextrica-
III bly, intertwined! The feminine
mood-its name is Legion. The au
tumn mode, is it not also Legion?
Verify. For each hour of the day,
each separate occasion demands its
made-and within the mode lie count
less variations of the mood
Variations, yes, thank goodness.
For woman preserves her individu-
atty as, she would her pearly teeth.
Each fair creature demands the smart
mode that is her self-expression. And
she will not be stereotyped.
elf-determination is not to be
seized upon by diplomats, to become
their exclusive phrase. 1t has just as
vital meaning to the eternal fem
mime, and having once perceived it,
she is not likely to let it 60.
What has autumn in store for this
marvellous modern woman?
) In what manner will the intrica-
cies, aye, the subtleties Of her mood
become expressed?
There are fur collared tailleurs
coats for the out-of-doors. When her
desire seeks the open air, the shop
ping excursion, the long walk, she
will resort to these. There are stree
dresses for the earlier fall, before the
weather turns cold. There are many,
many pretty costumes for her after
Moons, indoors, whether she enter
tains or seeks amusement IN the
homes of her friends.
And loveliest of all are the exotic
evening dresses, the tremulous, sub
tie or gayly joyous party frocks. For
these happy times she need not con-
slider subdued tints, nor firm prac-
teal materials, but can simmer
forth onto the brightly lighted dane
ir-- floors, all one CLEAN of sequins.
Perhaps her self-eXpression will de-
mand the bouffant folds of taffeta,
with tight bodice and above it gayly
flung bobbed hair. Then again she
may elect to stun all beholders with
the severity and bold simplicity Of
black velvet.
This Seasons Contribution
Each year a number of smart and
quite tailored dresses are designed.
The business woman finds her daily
costumes amongst these, knowing as
she does, that her clothes must be
more severe in line and cut, than
those worn at home. Such dresses
are so very good looking that many
Of our feminine friends enjoy them,
other than those of the office.
: Slip-over styles are to dominate,
they tell us. A straight silhouette
will result, although fullness will be
introduced in large pleats at the sides,
over the hips.
For materials poiret twill and trio
otine will be favorites. Many of the
wool dresses will be piped with silk.
Variety is especially noticeable in
sleeves. Some will be short, above
the elbow. Others will be long, fair
ly wide, in kimona style. AS rule,
set-in sleeves will predominant. This
season will. show us some circular
skirts. Hens will be scalloped again,
sometimes contrasting both as to col
or and cloth.
( Skirts will be about ten or twelve
inches from the floor. The hosiery
manufacturers will be glad, we pre-
sumo, that they are not to lengthen
greatly.
Trimmings will be more delicate
this year in tracery embroideries in
narrow braid and chain stitch. Ac-
centuating the lines of garment will
be their chief duty. Coats and suit
coats are characterized by length this
autumn.
Coats will reach to the hem of the
dress, deliberately braided and en-
broidered. A low waste line will be
noticeable and also narrow belts.
Scarf collars with tassels are de-
e..
