TINE conservative charm OF
Molyneux collection makes 1t
one of the favorites year after
year, and the never-failing re-
Sourcefulness has not dlsap-
pointed admirers in the new WINTER
collection There are 122 models THIS
time. a smaller collection than usual,
but the number has been reduced IN
proportion to the decrease In business
and lowering of prices. You will not
find any visible novelty. though. Tor
the line remains unchanged, except as
regards those models which are worn
with Molyneux hats, a combination, an
ensemble, out of which new note Is
born.
His skirts are noticeably shortened,
and for sports and town wear come to
the middle-calf of the leg. The great
est diversity of form and dimensions IS
found in the ensembles for morning
and sports wear. These include classl-
cal coats, straight. three-quarter gar,
mentS, straight or slightly nelteo
jaquettes and boleros with and without
sleeves. Many clinglng tunicS open on
narrow skirts. Afternoon skirts are
very little longer. One dress In brown
lace and taffeta ruching did not even
conceal entirely the calf.

EVENING gowns generally just touch
II the ground. A few have trains
more than a yard long. The wa1stllne
is in its normal place. the corsage Is
formed or seems to be formed OF one
piece Of material that Is draped over
the bust and ends gracefully in belt.
The hips are invariably tight-fittlng,
snugly adjusted by diagonal sewing.
The fullness, only moderate. begins
usually Just above the knee. Fancy III
tie capes abound, and these introduce
as amusing a novelty as you will md
in this conservative collection A va
riety of shapes and fabrics gives re-
freshing distinction to these.
Sleeves. flat>at the top and very Dou1-
FAINT at the bottom, are another CHAR
acteristic feature in this collection. A
sensational model was tailleur In
black wooden. with long sleeves in natu-
raj castor. The softness OF the FUR err
mitted this true artist to give to the
lower part of the sleeves as much grace
full fullness as with any fabric.
For sports there are all kinds OF
fancy woolens of the Jersey and knitted
families, diagonals. For afternoon and
tremendous quantities Of velvet, SILK
velvet. cotele velvet, velours Anglals
Cotton velvet, similar to velveteen),
crepe velvet, pearled velvet, georgette
with velvet faconne designs these being
usually in panne. lace, satin and lace

~ Molyneaux collection. After black,
and black and white, the most popular
colors are gladiolus red. various greens,
both for day and evening. and light
pinkish beige that is almost white. The
red velvet evening coat that we saw so
much OF IN seasons past is here re-
duced to a bolero Another striking
coat is in lame with pink and green
motifs on a black ground. No prints

subject in the Winter mode. are here
employed plentifully. Much fox, trim

for evening. Blue, fox, gray, light beige,
silver and black Breitschwanz. for
collar and sleeves. is seen on black
coats, and granite lynx trims a mixed

lamb occur repeatedly as the manne-
quins go through the defile. There is
a pajama of which the pants and bolero
are Of fabric initiating panther, and the
bolero opens over a little corsage Of
yellow and brown mouSseline. Ermine.

are seen on every third or fourth model,
