Bright Colors in
Late Fall Styles
Many Costumes Garry East
Indian Note; New Dress
With Coat-Top.

Resplendent colors and novelty ma
terials are a feature Of the new
clothes. writes a Paris fashion CORE
spondent In the New York Tribune.
Prominent among the emphatic
notes are the Hindo- Chinese effects.
One needs only to study the records
Of the >moguls to realize how closely
allied are the present-day fashions to
their mode Of dress. In the Bib
liotheque Rationale at Paris Is to be
found a wonderful collection Of hand
Illuminated and hand-illustrated
books, done by Italian artists. which
set forth particularly the costume his
tory of the great moguls. The house
Of Agnes shows in replica many points
Of the picturesque dress Of these peo-
pie.
One recalls that just prior to the
great war Paris fashions went through
a period Of minaret styles and
these Hindo- Chinese effects are from
the same source. But in the present
day interpretations fashion has es-
capped the minaret skirt and 1t is the
coat, or polonaise, that has been
adapted-the faring bell-shaped postil-
lion or basque set onto q close-ftting,
long-waisted body. Thus 1t Is the
masculine Mogul style that Paris Is ex-
plotting for autumn-the coat Of the
Grand Mogul himself, and not those
of the women Of his harem.
Any number Of costumes bear this
East Indian note. At first sight It.
seems as II it were a two-piece gar.
ment, that there was narrow founda-
ton and over this faring coat of
three-Quarters length. But the new
feature is really dress with a coat
top and not two-piece costume. In
a clever manner the faring tunic and
the narrow skirt are attached and one
is complementary part Of the other,
though they may differ both In color
and in material.
Sumptuous fabrics are employed for
these modes. Or If the fabric Is plain
1t is a brilliant color and often mar
velously embroidered and jeweled.
Developed From White Velvet.
One Of the most interesting dresses
Of this sort is model called Pagode.
It is developed from white velvet rich
ly embroidered from white velvet
richly embroidered in gold and in
black silk. At the edge Of the three
quarters length sleeves and the godet
tunic is a band Of black velvet, and
bordering all Is q deep band Of dark
brown fur. \ln
This model Is almost exactly like
the coats worn by titled rulers during
the period of the Grand Moguls. The
body is straight and close-fitting, with
low waistline and three-quarters
tunic fiaring widely over very mar
row foundation. The sleeves are long
and bell shaped and the neck is col
larless. There is an opening down
the front Of the blouse characteristic
Of the Oriental garment which slips
on over the head.
Another beautiful Hindu model is
Korigane. It is developed in red vel
vet with gold embroidery in an elab-
crate all-over pattern with deep Dor
ders Of fur. This silhouette is exact
ly the same as that Of Pagode.
Separate coats are cut on these
same f1aring lines. Many Of them are
made Of the new wooden and metal

A very young looking model called
Petite File Is in three tones Of pink

shaped founces which, beginning on
one side, have straight edge bands
finishing in an overlapping end in deep
cascading points. These odd-shaped
founces, of which there are three, are
each bordered with band Of rhine
stone embroidery and there is an in
teresting rhinestone embroidered motif
which trims the side of the skirt and
finishes on the bodice in a sort Of
pocket design.

ers to every possible extreme. Every
thing in leather goes-even trimmings
for frail fabrics.
"A Callot model well reflects this
mode. The suede leather used is al
most as supple as the crepe and 1t
adds distinctly novel touch. Head

Boston, Mass, Nov. Is, 1928.
To the Editor Of the Worcester Demo-
crat:
I have just finished reading the
last issue of your paper. The first
article on the front page tells of the
recent election of Worcester county.
In it you mention Snow Hill, Berlin,
Stockton, Girdletree, etc. I also read
your editorial commenting on the
election results, and I have yet to see
the name of the largest municipality
in the county-Pocomoke City.
AS one having much pride in the
town in which I grew up in, should
like to know why the name of Costen
is used instead of Pocomoke?
Pocomoke City is known much far
ther beyond it's corporation limits
than some Of it's citizens realize, yet
it is not on the political map.
There was time when the place
was named Newtown, but by an act
Of the legislature it was changed to
Pocomoke City. Why not let the dis
trict be known by it's real name on
Election day as well as the other 364
days in the year.
Sincerely yours,
J. CURTIS ELLIS.
