Only Few Changes
i'm Fall Fashions
Many Combinations Of Ap-
proved Modes-Draped
Skirt Featured.

There are few changes in fall fash
ions; no cautious person is going to
turn a handspring while crossing a
wobbly foot bridge, observes a fash
ion writer in the Kansas City Star
The leading designers made few
very clever changes and a great many
combinations of already established
fashions. A new feature that came
out Of the openings is the puffed
skirt hem which is achieved easily in
velvet, the leading fabric Of winter
and also in crepe satin. 1t is trib-
ute to the designers that such little
thing as catching the hem into a puff
can transform skirt into such an In
teresting feature of fall fashions.
The draped skirt is a new some
thing to be reckoned with. In many
instances it is a long tunic, rather
fanciful as to draping hung over a
skimp skirt Of scanty knee lenth. The
girdle, whether you call it a gypsy
girdle or a Spanish sash or any other
sweet name, now marks the elusive
son or SO ago designers spoke of the
normal waistline," but now they con-
fine themselves to the mere term
waiStline when they mean the line
the Gibson girl marked by her jewel
buckled belt. The sash or girdle of
ribbon wound around does not stop
by marking the equator, it falls in fas-
cinating ends down the side of the
skirt, usually the side front, or In
loops and in long bows or some other
fantastic treatment. Perhaps the
ends are beaded or fringed and the
whole lined with contrasting color.
A tier effect is the ambition OF
every tall, willowy figure The tall
one may choose three plated flounces
as complete expression of the TERED
mode or she may go in for bolerO
Jackets above tier or velvet or cloth
of gold, chic for evening.
The coats have more marks of late
vintage than dresses. Why? Because
the designers and the fabric manufac-
turers decided long ago what coats
should be; in other words, the deci-
sion was made before the money panic
in France was really upon them
therefore, they changed lines freely.
The backs are bloused; the dolman
sleeve is popular, the kimOnO line has
its place, long stoles Of fur, great pan
els of fur, shawl collars Of fur are
seen on velours, tweeds and velvet.
Straightline coats stayed to bless the
average figure. An altogether youth
full mode is brought out in coats a
little shorter than the really short
dresses, so short that the hem of the
| dress is decorative part of the en-
semble.

Velvet Sure to Be One
Of Seasons Fayorites

In Paris velvets are prominent in
all fashion displays and it is prob
ably safe to say this will be one Of
the most popular fabrics of the new
season.
1t combines so beautifully with 9TH
er fabrics and gives such soft effect
when used as trimmings that its great
possibilities will not be overlooked by
the discerning woman.
In the recent fashion displays vel
vet coats and dresses are much in evil
dence and it is equally modish for day
or evening wear.
The new velvetS are extremely sup
ple Transparent velvet has gained
a leading place for evening wear with
black as the favorite color.
Those exquisite velvet brocades on
sheer grounds are much in favor and
the new prints and pIaidS promise to
be popular.
SO do not hesitate about adding a
velvet frock to your wardrobe.

Black Leads in Colors
for Fall and Winter

Following the recent great vogue
for black in America, Paris has includ-
ed considerable black in her new col
lections for fall and winter. That
this color seems to recur with inSis-
tent frequency is due mostly to it's
adaptability for clothes designed for
any hour of the day; compared with
the number of gowns for daytime
shown in the new rich red shades,
those shown in black are negligible; ;
compared with the gowns for evening
in the. pale pink yellOws and grays,
the black gowns seem few in number
But the reds for afternoon do not ap-
pear among the evening gowns nor
the paste! shades among the afternoon
gowns; whereas black finds it's way
into both collections, leading the cas-
ual observer to state that black is first
in favor.
Shades of dulled red, new this sea-
son, are exquisite, particularly when
found in radiant velvet. Virginia
creeper" Jean Patou names one lovely
shade, and adds the explanatory
phrase, Autumn leaves burned red
by an Indian summer sun" There
are other reds with considerable
brown in them-port, burgundy, dregs
of wine, shading off to the reds
with blue, beet red and the lilac tones,
which finally deepen into purple
shades such as grape, prune and raj
sin. Patou has taken a rich prune
shade and called it "Patou purple"

Lame on MORE Base Is
Chic for Evening Wear

Lame on a moire base is one Of the
novelties for evening. Very often a
design in stripes or flowers is super
imposed upon this already beautiful
materia! as it was in a quaint gown
made by Redfern Pink moire on a
gold lame base has wide stripes in
varying shades Of pink woven through
it. The stripes are utilized TO form
the lines Of the fitted bodice, which
come to a deep point at very low
waistline. The skirt is short and
straight, with IoOped panniers at each
side. A garniture Of golden grapes
marks the curving line where the
skirt joins the pointed bodice. At the
back a square train reaching just TO
the floor is inserted under the pointed
bodice line.

and one of its outstanding style-pOints
is the fact that it is collared with a

to declare their object to be Ito give

wonder is that they should find their
