WHAT WOMEN WILL SEE
IN FASHIONS
Styles That Demand Tact In Selection
1
The strong, point in the scheme of the new dressing as present: ed at the autumn fashion dis- plays is selection, with due r gard to environment. Both the practica and romantic clements can meet with quite happy re- sults, only they must be chosen with cure for the particular ec- casion.
Some women have the knack of always "looking right. They wear tactful clothes. It is tact that must be exercised.
The average woman becomes inore and more practical in the choice of her day-time wardrobe. In earlier days the practical side of clothes" was distinctly dull In the Edwardian fashions, the tailored suit was surpassed by the dressy afternoon frock and coat. Some leading exclusive "tailleurs" and best-sellers of this season echo fantasies from the Edward an ora. such £5 "araid. woven -fringed edging, smocking, and quaint stitcheries. The feat velvet collar is scen again on Melton cloth and frieze. but few tailors of the past would have dared to add to their ultra- severe shooting-st of tweed, a plaidvelvet scarf and cap woven to a similar colour scheme.
Leather belts and buttons, too. are being dyed to order, and the scheme brings in other unusual accessories. all of which do much to vary and cheer
up the now accepted practical suit worn for most of our social functions of the day-tim...
Today the ultra-plain look is relieved by the new weaves and shadings of the manufacturer of materials. This Autumn cially reveal marvellous colour conceptions.

The new wools take 'on ligat and darkness by means of the design in the weave itself-each strand and
its thread playing part. Interesting fringes
and selvedges are woven in one piece
MILITARY MOTIF
War is in the air, to judge from the new beadgear. Mil- tarism is the stirring spirit" of the moment, Hats of superb Arrogance march through the pages of the new Hats and Fabrics issue of Vogue: cavalry hats with tossing plures, ittle caps with square peaks In front. cadet caps with cockades of cock feathers, even dragoon hel mets. They're perfect for the new suits and trucks with their square shoulders and jaunty Hittle frogs. Here are bats to wear with an air-hats to wear- with a dash!

with the cloth. Sometimes the wool-knots for stripes in raised contrast on a dark background will stress the "et ceteras” match the actual pattern.
A du wine-coloured woo! sur- face has running through it a belgestripe; the beige will be "picked up" in a felt hat, and possibly a knitted Jumper. with the wine worked in. The Leather buttons and belt, can also bring cut the two shades.
Another tweed woven in dark and pale green has a wool fring- ed serveage of the two shades. which is ent and used as a trim- ming.
Duvetyn is one of the smartest plain fabrics: winter. Its value is enhanced because it is a male- rial equally suitable for country or town. though for the latter wear the sut can be more elabo- rate about the sleeves. A creamy duvety suit composed of coat and skirt buttoning up the front. but from the elbow came 100se sleeves with three rows of bis- cuit-coloured for trimming. Ac cessories here were all in the pale biscuit tint. A big coat f brown cloth had entire sleeves of golden seal.
DINNER GOWN

tight unders:ip of brown and gold lame. The long fitted vel- vet sleeves were finished with a ruche of old lace at the wrist. Ruches of the same. lace were placed on the undersilp. On the outer coat of velvet was also a Medici collar of wired lace:

CHANGING HAIR
STYLES S
There is probably the per- fect way of doing each person's hair. but anyone, who sticks t tile one and only way is apt tu get left with a high fringe or razed neck which can never again be altered. First and lare- most, too, the face changes, and, it changes, the hair shou.d change with it. This obviates the stiffness and setness when grow upon one in later years. Next, it is good to change the direction of the hair. Everybody knows the bald patch upon which the rut of the comb clearly discernible. Changing. the direction and way of the hair does it a great deal of goed and prevents certain tracks from, being overused. Finally, 45 clothes and hats change, the. hair that is suitable for one be- comes unsuitable for another. and nubody Jocks adequately dressed who cannot wear the dress of the moment. Those who protest against fashion and think it ridiculous, often yield to it because it is so much effort to stand alone and hew one's own sartorial path,

Hair at the moment is all for ears. The hair which used to thrust forward to drape a rounded check has become de- finitely old-fashioned. Older people are" afraid to give it up. because it was fattering. but now that the element of state- ness has crept in it is flattering no longer. Hair must be pushed back behind the ears so that a sweep of it may be seen ander a curving, hat, whether large or small. Once It is pushed back it may do as it likes rest in little curls on the nape of the neck, fall forward a little over the ears, be hard and fast, as looks well with small heads and good- looking, people. But the change. is the main thing the ability
both physical and moral change the head and face means of the hair."

Colour is a mania tu-diay. in 1835 we are actutely cu our wit- scious, What colours will you choose for your Autumn ward- robe? Vogue tells you every thing you need to know in the new Hats, Fabrics and Patterns issue. At night, dead white is completely satisfying for a mode that drapes you with heavy marble folds. Or you may be dark and mysterious in grapered, alive-green, or purple. By day, green is triumphant, and the new purply blue, And. colour combinations? These are more wonderfully conceived, more gen-' uinely chic and flattering than ever before. This excellent issue tells you all about them.

who want to wear several types. uf hat. The beret, the turbun, the quared-off wide brim, the flat ilor, the Francais Fillon, the tricorne and the boat, to mention few of the prevailing silhouet tes, cannot be worn becomingly by the same face unless the inrivi duality of the weurer in first transformed by her coiffure.
