Real Curves, Subtle Colors, And a Return to Modesty Through Longer Skirts And Higher Front Necklines Are Found in the New Styles
is not enough that Madame be chic when she steps out this winter. She must be pretty, too, if she would be really amart.
Clothes have this in mind. And instead of concentrating exclu. sively on the mere line of style, winter costumes specialize in the flatter- ing touch that enhances a woman's beauty,
It is as if Subtle Color, Fine Texture, Becoming Trim and Individual Style have been invited to aid New Silhouette in making Milady more beautiful than she has ever been.
The chairmanship of this flattery conference, of course, belongs to New Silhouette. For it is the lines she has innovated that give the feminine feeling that underlies everything chic this
year.
Subile Color next steps to the fore with new ideas on
style. Since dahlias embody the softest and richest tones in the world and since they have become the great American fad they have, why is it not appro priate that women's costumes repeat these gorgeous shades?
The result is a stirring spectacle of beauty in wine colors, soft rose. beiges, deep crimsons, taway yellows and a multitude of lavender-pink- ish-tans.
Fine Texture makes a real contribution this wiiter to the mode. Lux- urious velvets, pliable duvetynes, lady-like broadcloths, femininely soft tweeds, fine, sleer worsteds in new weaver, glamorous brocades and tinselled chiffons and regal satins embroidered and embossed in color and gold all enliven the fashion scene..

BECOMING TRIM ushers in an era of unprecedented exquisite
touches of decoration.
Fur is used lavishly. Many a frock will have a bit of sable, ermine or other costly fur. The furs that are used, moreover, are the richest, › most expensive ones. Ribbons have a place they will enjoy this season. on frocks, lingerie, hats. Feathers and brilliant trim unite to give gleam. ing softness to many evening gowns.
Individunt Style adds the cherry to the top of the confection the new. mode, is. For this is a year when each woman can find some type of costume that will do the most there is to be done for her weight, height, age and disposition,
Do not think it is an easy year to pick clothes. Quite the contrary, Unless you watch carefully and buy with discretion, excellent taste and restraint it may have the same deleterious effects upon the digestion as taking a child to a beautiful candy store and turning him loosel
I MODERN in color, use of fur and luxurious individuality is an en- ensemble of the new French green. The coat is of very fine tweed, lined with paler. flat crepe. The, frock is of the paler tone.
This frock has an entirely new treatment of its silhouette. It is very intricately cut, with the skirt achieving that spiral effect that is so good. There is a special little vertical shirring through this skirt and honzontal shirring poses the full side width on the yoke. The lower edge, the collar and cuffs are all finished in an unusual little fringe com. posed of tiny balls of the silk, attached by a single thread.
The coat uses red fox for ene of the biggest collars created this year. This is so cut that two animals fashion it, with the heads of them peer- ing around towards the front. It can be fastened high up over the ears but is just as lovely lying like a regal cape across Milady's shoulders.

II. WHEN evening comes this winter, clothes grow more glamorous. Over an apricot satin gown, a gorgeous brocaded evening coat finds its luxurious way. The color is slightly richer in tone than the gown and gold threads, weave a spider web of loveliness in its design It has a lovely shawl collar, sleeves looser at the cuffs than above, and is the new three-quarters length.
Winding its rich way about the garment are bands of sable, wide, soft, elegant. This coat reminds one of opening nights at the Opera, of formal New Year's parties, of all the beauty and splendor that is. Society.
III. FOR the woman of dignified beauty, position and conservative tastes, nothing could be more suitable than the dark blue broad- cloth suit with cross fox trim. Both the wraparound skirt of this suit and the line of the coat emphasize the season's preference for spiral lines. It is beautifully tailored, has svelt sleeves with no fur trim and smart, powder blue satin blouse with panne velvet tie. The hat topping it is of navy blue panne velvet, with a fine felt bow across the back and side.

IV. THIS jaunty little black crepella suit, with bolero atop its one- piece frock, has a circular skirt. And nothing but the Spanish Exposition could have struck the spark that brought its vivid turban-like girdle of scarlet, orange and bright green.
The color note is repeated in the unusual necklace, composed of ropes of red coral and cut jade. A double cross fox is an excellent choice for accessory.
For nothing could be too lavishly luxurious for this lovely costume. For the vivid woman, this suit would fan her smolder- ing beauty into a flame at which the world would marvel,
V. COSTUMES insist on beauty. They revel in it. They improve upon it and make a gorgeous thing of style. Haus, however, are really the keynote of the changes we find.
For hats must be becoming, first and foremost. Therefore they we the softext of materials and lines that frame Milady's face enhancingly. Jean Patou's black hat with one long side illustrates this. This little hat has a grace about it that is increased by the orgament of three little feather brushes in beige, pale grech and silver. The lame scarf repeats the colors.

VI. FOR the typical American young woman there is, on the other hand, this modish brown, beige and silver tweed suit, with cute fur scarf and muff, topped by an intriguing little hat in brown and beige, with a modernistic feather motif on one car.
This suit has a trig skirt, pleated across the front from a fitted yoke. The blouse tucks into it, a flat crepe blouse with a little double-breasted front and bow tie of self-fabric.
The coat is straight line, with a yoke scross the back and ample lap over in front to allow sitting without coming open. It is collared in dyed lapin and nutria, a soft and apparently perfectly agreeable union of fur. They give the striped effect which sounds a distinctive note in furs this year.
