For Autumn Days

w ARLY autumn days, with vi
IL brating visits between town
and country, bring with
them the necessity for gar
ments which are at once dressy
enough for the few hours of fall
shopping in town and yet are simple
enough for the country. Paris
dressmakers, who study to the most
minute detail the needs of their Gus
toners, have prepared garments Of
this description, models in tailored
! suits and dresses which carry a sug-
! gestion of winter in weight and
color.
Suede has taken an important
place in dress for the coming au-
tumn and winter. Last spring this
leather was exploited in limited
way. Suede hats were brought out
IN Paris. but were not received en-
Enthusiastically in this country, one
objection to them being that they
were too warm for summer wear.
That designers still pin 9her
faith to suede is evinced by the fact
that they are using it in a liberal
way for frocks, suits and coats rs
well as in millinery. It is charm.
ingly combined with the wooden
fabrics that we have come to asso-
ciate with winter.

A logical place for the use Ct
leather in clothes for the autumn is
In the short separate jacket, which
has been during the entire summer
one Of the strongest notes in fash
ions. The interesting cloths that
have been used for these jackets will
be varied by leather and fur for
the autumn. One designer special

bossed leather.
With these coats skirts OF wool
are worn. These are fairly short,
usually about eight inches from the
ground. The longer skirts are re.
served for more formal wear. OF
course, there are those who will al.
ways exaggerate the length Of their
skirts. The woman who wore her
skirt to her knees during the period
Of short skirts now wears them al
most to the ground.
