NASHION is a far-seeing maid. For while
We are all basking in the blazing sun of a
midsummer day the ~sartorial powers-that-
be are sweltering in a maze Of furs, fur-trimmed
coats and tweed, cloth and velvet frocks. For it
is only by advance planning that the mode can
enable US all to reflect the current trend of
the styles appropriate TO the season.
1t is, Of course, a trifle too early to predict
definitely just what will emerge as the fashion
favorite Of the season. but it would seem that
velvet and metallic fabrics are slated TO have one
of the best seasons of their career. Richness
will be the keynote of the Autumn mode, but il
will be sumptuous rather than overwhelmingly
lavish. Rich fabrics will be treated with almost
tailored severity. and colorings will be subdued.
