early to do more than prophesy, but
1t is rumored that the separate coat
designed for wear with the one-piece
dress-is to be a real rival of the
costume suit. 1t is not, however a
subject for worry. as either is a happy
fashion, and If by coat" one means
the short coat or j%acquette, there is
hardly a distinguishing line between
the two.
1t should be remembered-when a
display of gowns features modes thai
seem to predict sweeping and radical
changes-that there are bound to be
new things advanced with every sea
son, but the stability of their popular
ity is uncertain. One thing is quite
sure. however. any radical change
from the modes of the past season will
be modified as the new season ad-
vances, so it is well to move cautious
" in the matter of an early selection.
Grapes. founces, long skirts, long
sleeves-either tight or wide-the
shallow neckline and the slightly low
cred waistline seem reasonably SURE
of acceptance-so. too, do luxurious
fabrics and equally luxurious trim
mings. The next few weeks are bound
to bring many changes in the modes
already presented, and witness the
presentation of many new and clever
fashions.

are the despair of The unskilled home
designer. As an example we nave the
pictured frock of brocade that has
very distinct 1880 tendencies. The
1880 mode is, primarily. the hustle
mode, but anything as ugly as the
hustle itself IS quite out of the ques-
ton in modern fashions.
This little model attains the desired
effect by a bit of fiat drapery, so SIM
pie in its effect thai It looks easy of
accomplishment, but there is art in
that seemingly easy drape. The lines
of the gown itself are quite straight,
and they have little suggestion of the
flare below the knee. which is another
characteristic OF the 1880 mode. Apart
from the drapery and the off-the-
shoulder effect of the sleeve. the sleeve
itself Is the only really new feature.
In street dresses and afternoon frocks
the tight, tailored sleeve Is seen, and
while in this particular model the
sleeves are pleased to adopt a bit of
pendant trimming at the wrist, the eff
feet is the same.
Rich Trimmings Or None At All
1t is TO be a season Of rich fabrics
and equally rich trimmings. yet not
.infrequently one sees a gown that
boasts no trimming az all. An exam
pie OF his is shown in the dress OF
velvet-striped wolfe worn with an ac-
Gordon pleated slip of plain color.
But the stripe In the material has all
the effect Of trimming. while the
fabric flowers provide any detail OF
finish that might otherwise be lack
ing. The skirt is Inclined to be full,
the result of a triple stirring IN front
and a single line of stirring in back.
Note the difference in the finish of the
hemline, back and front. The seal
Hoped line results in an appearance of
greater length in front than in back,
which is enc way to smartness.
No wardrobe will be quite complete,
this fall, without a tailored %coatdress,
preferably of wool, and, likewise pref

The answers to questions of this sort
determine the success or failure of
your costuming as well as the effect
you have on others.
Books have been written-and there
are books yet to be written-on the
art OF becoming dress. yet no amount
of literature will teach the individual
what she herself may wear, If she does
not study herself-learn to admit her
faults, and, when they may not be
overcome, learn to dress to lessen or
conceal them. Nothing should be
bought because 1t Is, In itself, lovely.
We will grant at the outset thai love-
illness is a prime essential. but some
thing less lovely that is right, is in
finitely to be preferred to the lovellest
possible thing that is wrong, so far
as the individual and her general
scheme of dressing is concerned.

never wholly abandoning them. One

One should be perfectly certain that
her sense of color-as applied to her
self-is accurate. True she may al

that is most becoming2 There are

1t will be noticed that dresses are

and black and white combinations

is permitted the natural curiosity that
gives rise to the questlon-'What is

deep black was its only expression. but

somber draperies and wells.
At the present time we are having
a vogue for satin surfaced fabrics, but
they are not mourning fabrics, at all.

China Influences The Mode

After a season of things Egyptian.
fashion shifts her allegiance n bows
to things Chinese. the styles, the
fabric, designs and the colorful en-
broideries. This Oriental influence
was inspired, we are told, by the
French colony of Indo-China, but
whatever its inspiration, 1t is a happy
one. 1t brings us the tunic, the
straight Jacket of the Mandarin type,
the wide Chinese sleeve and the really
marvellous embroideries, elaborate In
design and gorgeous In coloring. No
people except, perhaps, the Japanese,
have quite as lovely shades of yellow,
blue and red. or combine them so eff
fectively with black and gold or sill
yer.
The little jacquette, pictured above,
is China-inspired, and it proves sew
eral things-that the side-tie. short
coat is to remain a favorite; that satin
is to be a favored material; that en-
broideries are to be a favored trim
ming; and the pleated skirt will con-
tinue popular. It is. as yet, a little
