The Newest
Style Notes

@oOL days and chilly nights
starting so early in the sea-
son and continuing for so
~ long sent Summer clothes
into the discard with a bang
before most of us were ready. Those
who were not particularly interested
in the Summer sales of Winter coats
are now more eager to investigate the
matter and suits are especially invit-
ing with their promise of growing
popularity.
AS the shorter coated suit is rather
more of a novelty for Fall and Winter
wear, it perhaps intrigues us more
than the classic topcoat suit with
which we are more familiar. These
suits are apt to have unexpected de-
tails of design that catch the eye. A
fascinating model in dark brown
heavy, crepey woolen has a small
cloth cape, with a fiat round collar
over it, which may be worn pushed
up in the back. The sleeves narrow
at the shoulders, increase in width
toward the cuffs, which form a large
part of the interest of the suit with
their graceful upward and outward
flare. The belt is quite wide and
the half oval fastening is new, too.
If you want to be very dash
ing in suit, nubby weave of
golden-hued woolen combined
with beaver will surely turn the
trick. 1t is SO smart, so diff
ferent, with its large, wide COL
lar that caps the sleeve tops
and would be a cape in the back
if it did not have a generous
slice cut eout of the middle to
make it more sophisticated.
Then there are soft, warm fur
pockets applied below the belt,
and four dark brown buttons
straight down the front.
A MOTHER find is one of those en-
sembles consisting of a woolen
dress and seven-eighths coat that
glows with Autumn colors. The dress
and coat lining are of rust and brown
in medium sized plaid, and the coat
is plain brown. 1t is a very effective
outfit, very youthful without being
intended for the junior, who seems to
walk away with so many smart de-
signs these days.
A handsome black coat of soft suede
finish material of the best quality has
a detachable cape of silver fox. The
coat without the cape is splendid
model for early wear with its stand
up collar and elbow-Sleeve fullnesS
accentuated by graduated tuckS taper
ing to the wrist. The wide cape has
its own collar, which is high in the
back and there are Ascot ends in
front. Three rows of rich, fluffy sill
yer fox bands are worked into the
cape so that a V-section of cloth is
left exposed at center back. This
double-duty coat could be used for
less formal wear with a warm knitted
or wool frock and changed entirely
into a dressy coat for afternoon over
silk frock by the addition Of the
fur cape.
sports model is very youthful and
Just a little different. First, it at
tracts immediate attention by its
color, a lively Kelly green, and its
material is a novelty, nubby checked
weave. soft and pliable. The out
standing feature is the chic ripple COL
lar of nutria with wide ends crossed
over and buttoned on each shoulder to
keep that attractive line. Although
this has the appearance Of a separate
coat, it has a skirt, slim and straight,
slit at the side for comfort in strld-
ing along at a brisk pace.
Brown is always q Winter fa-
vorite and is presented in good
forming full revers that cross over
at the front. To make the coat
warmer high up around the neck
there is a Tapped and buttoned
scarf of cloth.
"A THOUGH we went in one shop
a with the express purpose of look
ing at coats and suits, the dresses
We saw were so arresting that we
will have to tell you about a few
of them. There is the tunic dress of
black. with big roll collar and cuffs
of bright plaid matching the dress
beneath. This was shown as dress,
but would serve marvelously as a suit
through the early Fall. Another long
tunic frock of brown and green half
inch checks in a thin wool has an
underskirt of plain brown, very deep
brown cuffs on the straight f1aring
sleeves and a fetching neck arrange
ment of brown crushed around high,
like a scarf, but having two square
tab ends.
A two-piece ensemble of rabbit hair
in black and gray, with the hairs
taking designs of rings and diagonal
lines, claims smartness by having an
attached black satin blouse which
