for autumn

NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-Frocks Of
2 feather flock together apparently
this autumn, at least judging by the
way everybody's wearing wool
dresses these Indian summer days.
Some Of the wool lace tailored
frocks have seen lately, in lunch
ng or strollng along Park avenue,
lave justified the vogue for this
ancy material.
l met Martha Magrane on the
venue wearing multi-colored wool
zee frock, in many autumn tones,
hat was regular coat dress, with
Aotched revers and coat collar and
ong sleeves that had pretty topaz
,ut-lings in them.
Lace blouses of. wool are quite as
decorative as silks and other deli
ate blouses this year. Mrs. Harry
Payne Bingham wears a lovely
White wool lace one with her salmon
pink suit.
Tweed FrOcks Achieve Chic
Tweed frocks of novelty diagonal
weave are stunning this fall Mrs.
De Forest Alexander wore a smart
spron tunic one III tan at the Far
Hills dog show, with little round
collar and tie tabs of beige fiat
crepe.
Mrs. Dave H Coddington wore a
two-piece jumper suit of yellow and
brown tweed, with bright yellow
suede belt. At one of the recent
Meadow Brook sports events, Mrs.
Richard Tucker sponsored a very
chic mesh-weave jersey frock in au-
tumn tones, with a brown chenille
hat.
Most smart women are up to their
necks in chic this year, with the
widest variety of unusual collars l
ever remember seeing. Mrs. Persi-
for Frazer III of Philly, one of Mary
Elizabeth Altemus' bridesmaids, by
the by, wears with great dash tall
ored scarf of white pique caught in
the front of her blue wool frock
with single big bone button.
Repeated insistence on the all
black costume or black relieved by
dead white makes black lead all
colors for daytime wear. launching
at the st. Regis roof the other day,
I was surprised to note how little
color was present, the smartest
women present wearing unrelieved
black.
Decorations Are Beautiful
Thinking of the lovely blue deco
rations of that roof reminds me
that the very smartest decorations
for autumn weddings hereabouts
we're the Wedgewood blue and white
chosen by Mary Atwell for her we'd
ding to Francis Hitchcock.
A patriotic note was struck by
having all the bridesmaids, flower
girls and their pages wear cherry
red slippers with their blue and
white costumes. The bridesmaids
costumes and the little Kate Green
away flower girl costumes were Of
LIE W6Qg6WOOQ Dlu6.
If there is any lingering doubt in
Your mind about styles getting back
ormalcy this winter, you have
to attend single wedding or
tante party.
zabeth Altemus and Jock
ney's wedding at False f-the-
'ochuylkill was a gold and white
pageant of gorgeousness. The
bridesmaids gowns had the most
decorative sleeves I have seen this
year, pulled ones, all embroidered
in pearls and briiliants.
Romantic Party Gowns for Debs
Debutantes are beginning their
alltumnal round which will gather
momentum until the poor things
will have no time to sleep or eat,
along about Christmas time. Their
party gowns are quite as romantic
as their young dreams, this season.
White is one of their favorites for
evening. Margaret Mallory has a
white chiffon gown with lovely
soft cowl decouetase and floor
length skirt with cut velvet design
splashing soft whiteness all over it.
She wears orchids, white ones,
on her shoulders.
Virginia Douglass has a TERED
bolero gown of white satin with the
new silhouette that cups her slender
figure below the hipline and then
flares exaggeratedly.
Jewels are all-important this year.
Alma Headley wears beauteous long
diamond earrings and a handsome
diamond shoulder pin with a
glamorous scarlet silk net gown she
has, with little high-waisted belt
line and ruf1ed f1ounce low on the
gown.
