Mrs. Hunt T. Dickinson
BY BETSY SCHUYLER


 New York. Sept. 22.-The autumn snap in the air is rivalled only by the snap in clothes one sees on the Avenue, at the Ritz, at heater op- enings or dancing at the Ambassa- dor.
 This fall season, which used to be called the little season" out of Kindness becau use 1t was simply a betwixt-and-between time. has taken on character.
 Whether it's q tweed suit that steps jauntily off the He de France or a sumptuous wrap iaid tenderly across the thcater seat. there's richness in color this au- tumn, there's fascinating individ- uality in cut and trim. and there's fullness everywhere. in skirts widths. in loose sleeves. in tiers and other whatnots.
 Dignity in Sports Attire
 Teaing at sherry's. Mrs. Gill bert Keech SD ,nsored ruddy- brown satin frock with circular skirt and a corresponding circular scarf that gave a bertha effect. A red fox scarf gave the final touch of chic.
 Sports clothes grow a trifle for maj and less nonchalant under the influence of so much dignity in dressy things. Witness dark green ensemble Mrs. H. Dahlgren wore at the Belmont races. It's lcng coat was slightly moulded in line with lighter green turned back cuffs of jersey and the light green jersey frock under it was one-piece, with circular skirt and fitted feeling throughout.
 Grace Vail returned to the States from a summer in Paris smartly turned out in a navy blue one-p piece redingote cut with such flaring hem. Her cute small black hat of fox felt was all but brimless, with a flaring dip on the right side that touched her shoul- der.
 Woolens are calling "check" on chic right now. Anne Caldwell stepped off the Aquitania in | checked ensemble that used the black-white fabric diagonally in its circular skirt and up and down it its three-quarters raglan coat.
 The smartest little novelty checked suit to yet appear this fall did 50 when Mrs. George B. St. George went to the Belmont races last week. A soft grey background was broken by novelty check in very dark grey. The coat was rath- CT plainly tailored and the skirt box pleated all the way round. With it she wore something new in hats. too, . grey tweed with q short back-line and a decided flare in front.
 Lace h having its day at open ings. It is satin for dancing right now. but lace for first nights. !" There must have been half hun dred charming versions, black. white and colored. at the opening of "The Great Power" Peggy Hoyt wore a most stunning wrap, voluminous two-toned apricot velvet. the lighter tone fashioning charming high collar and deep cuffs.
 A Youthful Mode Minna Gombel. the leading wo- man. showed preference for youthful frocks Charming and individual they were too. One is called "Patou." king" or royal" blue. The bost unusual shade was raisin, with a jabot, white- lined. on both skirt and blouse. Jabots. fancy lapels and a bow here and there can be most effect i've this season. particularly if used restrainedly Certainly noth- ing could be more chic than the beige revers, or uneven cut. that adorn q black ensemble Mrs. Hunt T. Dickinson wore on Park ave- nue. Her little black hat had a perky bow of beige velvet front ing 1t and tucking up the narrow brim to show her eyebrows.
