"HE recent openings indicate that
color will be the order Of the
day for the Fall and Winter
wardrobes Not the bright and
gay colors Of a season ago, but
soft tones in every shade will be seen.
At the moment the new mouse gray IS
outstanding. Contrasted with coral ana
chartreuse, it is a color which can be
universally worn. There is poSslblIlty
that its vogue may be short lived, on
account of the fact that 1t has taken
the fashion world by storm, and Is seen
morning, noon and night. Too much
of any one color soon becomes monoto-
nous. It may be well, therefore, If you
are planning costume in this new
shade to get it early and enjoy 1t While
1t is still high fashion. =,
Evening gowns are shown IN all
houses in the more subdued colors. one
particularly lovely evening ensemble
seen recently, was in the softest yellow
chartreuse. The skirt followed the new
mermaid line, fullness being introduced
below the knee with inset godets so
scanned as to hang straight when the
wearer was not in action. Worn with
this gown was finger-tip cape OF net,
solidly embroidered in sequins, with
appliqued, graduating dots OF white
ermine The wrap was lined with Sneer
white velvet.
Another informal costume which was
seen at the theater was in turquoise
novelty velvet. 1t was worn by sllm'
blond woman of about 80 years. Ihe
frock featured the new, high neckllne,
which cut straight across the throat
and draped softly to a high closing at
the back of the neck. Fastened mere
with q single clip, the bodice fell open
to the waistline The skirt hung from
the hips in straight line. A tiny yoke,
which came to point at the center
front and back, was an interesting
detail.
The Jacket worn with this dress was
of the same material and color. 1t was
finger-tip length, and from the front
appeared to be of cardigan inspiration.
The smart treatment OF the sleeves
gave tne DdCk CdPoAuio "AAASAA W."
new and unique.

MANY Of the daytime dresses are
IN1 In woolen. The woods OF this
.es.on are of a softer and SINNER sort.
FEATHER weight broadcloth or some
thing that closely resembles it., with
almost a satin finish, was effective IN
a number of outfits shown recently An
especially charming combination OF a
medium green swagger coat and 1rock
of a slightly lighter tone OF the same
wool, but light weight, was outstano-
ing. ,,,o ,eu,
seasons ago, is returning to favor. Ing
contrasting coat and 1rock, the SUI.
with contrasting blouse, while not IN
disfavor, is being supplanted by match
ing frock and coat. For the business
woman. nothing was ever SO satisfac-
tory as the street ensemble. Many OF
the new suits are planned and de-
siQned to suit her needs. One stun
ninc suit recently bought by New
YoYker. and, believe, now being shown
in his display rooms, was OF pansy-
violet rabbit hair, trimmed with WOOD
violet velvet. The frock was simple IN
line and the coat three-quarter length.
The new broad shoulder was accom-
plished through yoke OF the velvet.
which was cut in one with the scarf
tie
Hats are smaller, which is natural
with the fur season opening. Many OF
the early Fall models have small brims.
The beret In its new versions is enjoy
ing great popularity and small wonder.
