m Dame Fashion

In the fall woman's fancy lightly
turns to thoughts of fur. Long bef1re
the first tang of cold weather is
felt, milady wears her fur neckpiece
on either a dress or suit This season
silver fox holds first place among
neckpieces. Nothing is more flatter-
ing than this soft black pelt, always
giving to it's wearer a decided air
of chic.
Pointed foxes come next in popu-
1arity, followed by Russian or Hud-
sson Bay sables and stone marteens.
Because of the small size of the
martens and sables, it is necessary
to use two or three animals to make
up a distinctive looking scarf. They
have not changed much in style from
previous seasons. They remain crossed
in the back, and the loose ends can
be fastened around the neck in ac-
cordance with the. wearer's fancy.
Smart Sport Fur Coats
Then, we feel the tingle of the
colder days, and we remember that
we must have snappy looking fur
sports coat for the next football
game. This season, the sport coats
tend toward strictly tailored straight
line effects, with small standing mill
tary collars and straight sleeves. They
are 4S to As inches in length, and
mostly all have slit or pouch pockets

We who suffer so with cold hands
can readily understand what a boon
these pockets will be. In these coats
a wide assortment of the harder
furs are used, such as raccoon, Ameri-
can or Australian opossum, antelope,
American panther and pony In either
natural or brown. They are lined
with light weight duvetyns, silk bro
cades or velveteens. Surely when
wearing one of these warm garments
we need not worry how cold the
day may be, we will be able to sit
out the entire game, cheering for
our team.

Whatever the size Of, the@ascarf
may be, fashion has decreed that it
must be square. For sports wear
it is fashioned of figured crepe with
solid colored landings. For dress

silk fabrics on which are painted
motifs of all kinds. The rich metallic
scarfs which are used for evening
wear are lined with chiffon and
banded in silver or gold cloth Some
scarfs are so large in size that they
can be worn as wrap.
Quite an array of handkerchiefs
are popular this season. The best
liked for afternoon use are made OF
white linen and have tiny self colorad

For evening wear white ermine and

as in the afternoon coats the individ-
uaI must allow her own taste to
come into play, as to style. Besides
the straightline, dolman and blouse
models few capes are shown for
evening wear.
Mink Wrap Self Trimmed
The majority os the ermine coats
are self trimmed, few, however,
have collars and cuffs of white fox.
No matter what style the mink wrap
may be it remains self trimmed.
For Innings one uses solid colored

FALL HATS TAKE
THE NOTE OF
EFLIPP Ant


The flippant brim which has been
in vogue off and on for a number
| of years promises to come back
stronger than ever in mems hats this
| fall.
This style made great headway
last spring and the momentum of six
| months will show itself during the
early fall months.
| Advance information gained from
reliable sources, such as leading
makers and foremost retailers, points
| to a season in which the turned
down brim will share the honors Of
| the season on a $3.50 basis with the
fedora or alpine shape
YOunk Fellow Likes RaI1ish Style
This is particularly true concerning
the styles that will be worn by the
younger fellows and this class in
cludes. the collegian, who likes somee
| thing that is rakish, instead of set
and formal.
1t is true that the. ever popular
fedora shape which has been in good
taste for many years, will continue
to hold it's many followers This is
the style that is favored by the man
WnOE pTC10IS (lIC COAN StS
man who is set in his ways.
Outside of the shapes and shades
of the last year there are no really
radical differences in either the snap
down or fedora hats.
The one noticeable innovation will
be the bow, which some makers are
placing at the back of the hat In
stead of the side. Whether or not
this idea will win favor among the
smarter dresser is problematical and
will not be definitely decided until
the season is well advanced.
Darker Shades In Bands
Last spring the fancy band on felt
hats was worn extensively, but itI
is the belief of stylists that men
will revert back to the sombre bands
such as plain colors of blacks,
browns, tans and grays. There will
of course, be number of bands
shown with narrow stripes to offset
the severity of hats
AS for colors, browns, light grays
and light tans will have the popular
call. There also will be various tones
Of these. Some greens will be dis
played, but not as extensively as in
past seasons. This color, while in
favor in certain sections, never has
come universally to the front, so will
be hereafter regarded as an also ran.
Two Hats Season
Hat makers are endeavoring to
put across a campaign-~two hats O.
season And for fall felt ana derby
make up the program. OF course
the alternate wearing of them is con-
ducive to better dress-and lnciden-
tally keeps both in better condition.
Just how strong the derby VIII
be this season also is matter thaC
cannot be decided right now. In
ltbe far east this hat is coming to the
fore and it is believed that the trend
Of style will move westward in time
AS for caps the eight-piece style

small percentage of one-plece caps
are being shown In most instances
