Forecasting the Winter from
a Fashionable Point Of View

casting most luIoToSIlH6 SAAou0eoS
which indicate for the coming sea-
SON development Of the lines of the
season. past and at the same time
Eshow departures from the fashions
we have known.
I The silhouette remains pretty
much the same, straight of line, fall
| ing almost directly from the
shoulder to the hem Of the costume
with merely an indication Of the belt
line. In spite Of this similarity OF
silhouette there are several out
standing points Of definite fashion
interest about the new garments for
the fall and winter. III
The placing Of the belt line and
I the length of the skirt are the two
most striking differences. In the
first place there is nothing literal
about the present fashionable waist
line for 1t is not placed by the up-to-
date designer in the same anatomi-
I cal position we once judged the
place for it. We still refer to it as
| the waist line'' rather because 1t is
q substitute for what we once knew
as such. The real waist line Is like
the ear, it has not been shown for
an age.
Winter Dresses Go to Both Extremes
In this one feature the winter
dresses 60 to both extremes and
while some Of the designers accentu-
ate the long waist line and the low
girdle by making them lower even
than they have been, others seek
variety and q new note by raising
the girdle to an empire line and
place it high under the bust.
In either case the girdle is pretty
apt to be finished at the front or side
front with handsome and interest,"
ing ornament. Sometimes this Orna-
ment is heightened by long tassels
| of beads or fringes Of the same color
and again it Is accentuated by folds
of the material falling in full drap-
cries from it, to entirely encircle the
figure.
All skirts are draped, either en-
tirely or in part. Some drape all
their fullness to the side after
wrapping themselves snugly about
the hips, others fall straight the en-
tire length of the skirt and depend
upon the overskirt for ,drapery.
! In general the hem line is even
with the exception OF a side point or
dip. This often reaches to the floor
and on some evening gorwns Is
elongated to form a train. Skirts
are longer than they have been. In
fact they are as long as the design
ers dare make them and still hope to
have them worn.
They are also full. The fullness,
however, is artfully concealed and
so arranged that the skirt falls as
straight as did the tubular ones lof
janother year.
Promises Of Heavy Black Season
While some colors are shown, 1t
promises to be heavy black season
| and black combined with white Will
be very popular for early fall.
A new dress that has recently
| come over from Paris is made of the
black and white satin successfully
| combined. and embroidered with
| pearl beads and gold thread. Black
| is always good for the informal din
ner dress and no wardrobe is COM
plete without one on its list OF
1 dresses. One of new creepy ma
terial known as "Trigoddette" Is
shown with round neck following
1 the broad shoulder lines and the
straight blouse falling from q lifted
yoke to beautifully draped skirt. The
skirt is caught at the left side front
4 with three long black silk tassels
that fall to the bottom Of the dress,
and at the other side appears the
only contrasting not on the whole
dress, a handsome buckle OF bril-
liants from which hangs long point
that scarcely escapes the floor.
Another dinner dress that is very
new in design is made of black lace
and black chiffon accordion pleateo
to the bottom Of the gown. The
back and sleeves of the blouse are
cut in one and catch low under Q
fuschia girdle Of chiffon studded
with steel nail heads. From this
: girdle falls full circular skirt OF
. the lace, the points Of which come te
the front and catch to the girdle
The sleeves grow wider as they
: reach the paist and are banded WITH
the fuschia chiffon again studded
with rows of the steel nail heads.
A dinner dress is distinctive fol
two interesting features. One Is
latticed effect that forms the yoke
: about the shoulders and the low
placed girdle on the skirt which II
4 made Of the same crepe fabric al
the gown. The other is cape Of
real hand made Chantlly that falls
full across the back from the
shoulders and grows to long points
at either side which are caught
about the wrists with more of the
latticed crepe. This dress is shown
: in white with the lace cape OF black
in striking contrast.
!, Straight and Plain Blouses

their bows to the world during the
