New York. July 22 - When autumn comes, will your new fall wardrobe be far behind?
 Now is the time to assemble it. College and business girls can cap- italize their summer leisure and stick a. feather in their fashion caps at the same time by carefully plan ming right now just what they will need for autumn.
 Fall fashion shows are the order of the day. Fall materials appear on every hand. Fall coIors, fall styles, fall this and that can be had for the asking.
 There is tremendous variety fpom which to chose. Some <eostumes adapt the new silhouette with new fabrics and colors to create aston ishingly different-looking clothes from last winters. Fur trimmed suits meet a new demand for ele- gance. Simple lines in coat dresses mate with rich fabrics to create new femininity.
 Skirts Long and Even
 Some outstanding style points ravish the eye. Longer, even, daytime skirts are accepted. No one questions waistlines, unless they are too big and should be re- duced. The importance of interest ing skirts is insisted upon, as hav- ing precedence over the ubiquity of elaborated sleeves and bodiCes this summer.
 As a matter of fact. skirts should hit the eye first. in the new mode, especially on dressy clothes. Skirts are significantly different. The peplum frill adds to Q general "hippy" feeling that is quite au fait. Skirt yokes have shirrings, draper ies, sometimes decorated. sometimes plain. The double skirt is back, quite dignifed, quite appealing. Ruffles set in apron lines on some party gowns and fancy little extra ruffles on founces make one won- der if, after all, we are headed straight back to the days when bod ices were tight and plain. skirts all be-ruffled, bedecked, betrimwed - back to the days that begot the hustle
 Coats are princess line, make much of boleros, or else insist on the new three quarter length for suit wear. Fur fashions yolies, sleeves, cape effects and hip yokes and hip bandings on many suits. The long-coated suit, the peplum one or the jaunty bolero complete ly crowd out the straight-line car digan.
 Materials are so varied they are hard to describe. Monotone tWeeds replace vari-colored ones of last year, but there are so many new on different high-Mghts in each. Nubbed materials, ribbed ones fancy lacy weaves. some novelty plaids, checks and invlsibly corded wools are to the fore.
 A plain-colored material. dusted over with beige or gray, is a nov city that may have a big run. Fleck- ings are good, too.
 The most important single color item is the of-black that is shown. Blackberry black, raspberry black, a green black and a blue-black glow like beautiful jewels, with just a hint Of color to make them smarter than the dead blacks Of last year.
 Reds in Autumn Tones
 Reds are very good this season, soft yet deep reds, and all the rust reds and tawny tones that spell autumn and turning leaves. There are few penetrating greens, most of them having dull blue tones. Blues purple in them. Newest and love- Hest are the purply-toned browns.
 Three of the new styles that would fit into any smart but prac- tical wardrobe include a heavy fur trimmed suit, a little early autumn travelling outfit and a jaunty busi- ness or college frock
 Blueberry black wool, in a dull finished ribbed weave. fashions the three-quarter ensemble. heavily trimmed with black caracul. There are deep sleeve puffs of the caracul, a rolling shawl collar, and side panels to the long coat that have pockets in them. The coat is belted at the normal waistline.
 A Military Model
 A new handspun weave of silk and wool fashions the piece ensemble of Annapolis blue. The skirt shows the new effective man. ipulation, in decorative bandings and side panels that reach 10 the olnger hemline. The coat is bol- ero, with a scarf attached of the material. Over this slips three quarter cape, with military collar.
 The little working -frock of rust wool crepe shows the new modes influence in many ways. There is the new low-hip peplum, in double tiered effect and, below it, the front panel of the skirt has French pleats. The sides are made circular. giving real fullness to the froch. The
