VERY year at just this time a
- woman'S thoughts begin to
turn to new Fall clothes. The
- shop windows are full of them,
newspapers and magazines run
long and enthusiastic descriptions OF
them. The feel of new clothes is in
the air, and no woman Of she could
would avoid it.
This year the details that mark the
difference between a brand-new dress
and last years one that will do" are
all too obvious. In the first place,
there is a new hilhouette, simmer,
straighter and more severe than ever.
The more closely fitted skirt and the
more generally tailored appearance of
the whole dress combine to achieve
the closely fitted look. With the
dresses so simply fashioned, emphasis
is upon trimming. but it, too, is less
fussy and more carefully executed
than formerly.
The tendency toward elaborate
upper sleeve emphasis is being modi-
fed in the coming Fall clothes to a
mere wide armhole, with the sleeve
narrowing toward the wrist. High
necklines, in all of the street models,
combine with the drop armhole to
give the broad-shouldered effect. An
other important note is the immense
popularity of combined materials, the
most apparent of which is the shiny,
dull combination of satin and fiat
crepe. At present black stands al
most unrivaled by oolors, with only an
occasional brown or dark green hang
ing unobtrusively at one end of the
racks.
All of the new clothes in the
Washington shops are faSci-
natingly full of the new fea-
lures, so perhaps to emphasize
the important details which
your Fall clothes must possess
it might be we'll to describe a
few of the charming new
gowns on display.
"A VERY practical example of the
satin and crepe combination is
being shown in a downtown shop. The
dress is of black crepe with a satin
yoke, a softly folded satin belt and row
of tiny satin buttons down each side
front. The new high neck is finished
by small roll collar, with charm
ing rhinestone ornament in the front.
The short kimona sleeves and the
simplicity of the frocR make it entire
ly suitable to put on now and wear as
long as the weather is warm, and
when it becomes little cooler the
lovely jacket that comes with the
dress can be donned to give it the ef-
feet of a whole new outfit. 1t is of the
crepe, is finger length, has long tailored
sleeves and an attractive satin yoke
which goes straight across the front
and forms a point in the middle of
the back. The jacket ties at the
throat with satin bow, and forms
over the dress, perfect ensemble for
all Fall wear, and later Winter wear
under heavy coat. 1t is practical,
smart and moderately priced.
A stunning satin and wool
crepe combination, which we
sketched, is more of suit than
dress, when worn with the
jacket. This jacket is particu-
larly smart, with its Dolnan
sleeves finished with fox fur,
its high, round neck and its
slight fullness gathered in by
tight band at the waist.
MoDERNIsT1c diced jet buttons,
AA up the back, give it a touch of
trimming, as does a spray of white
gardenias directly on the shoulder.
Contrary to the usual custom in Fall
styles, flowers as trimming are going
to be popular during the coming
season. AS for the dress, it has a
slim skirt of sheer wool, a satin yoke
similar to the one in the model Just
described, and high, becoming cowl
neck. Its wide armholes lend an
added touch of newneSs, and its
smartness is doubly increased by the
high v neck in back, which becomes
Q surplice, then cleverly tapers to form
