Here comes autumn!
1. even
though you're dummy, your style is bound to score when you play bridge in this afternoon frock of old gold flat crepo.
And fall is the time for all good girls to fall in line with the new lines for morning, afternoon and evening
HERE is a superior feeling inher- ent in getting your autumn wardrobe lined up before your friends manage theirs. Also in beating the first chill
days of the fall season to it!
Late August is the time. Your own stores are the places, You yourself are the girl to do it!
You will need, first of all, at least one runabout costume. This may take any of three versions, all of which are accepted.
First, the woolen (rock, A soft, spongy wool in some bright color, made Blasteringly, sveltely. miginally
It
Second, a silk frock, be it flat crepe, marocain, any of the pebbly silks, ribbed silks or satin. can the Black, Or it can be colored.
Third, a new fall it. You'll know the new ones by their interesting coats, the stress they lay on collar that become you and do something for you, sleeves that have new twists to them.
Next, you will need something for afternoon. Whether you entertain or whether you go out to your bridge. your leas, your social chats. you should have a "little frock" that slips under your cuat neatly and when it emerges makes your friends
realize how much good your summer vacation did for you:
Last, don't forget the enchanting evenings early fall brings you. Dress up to them. Parties in the autumn mean a dated-up winter time. And evenings alone when all your acquaintances are out having gond time are not to be considered. Dress up and go!
1. AUTUMN afternoons seem to grow a little hit tailored. But very chic, as to costumes ap propriate for them. Gay colored flat crepes, mache with touches of this or that to enrich them; melat cluthus, new figured metal brocaded chiffons, and velvets will be worn, alf classically simple in line, depending on thek color and lovely fabric for new chic.
Old gold fat crepe makes a beautiful afternoon dress for one who wears that colar well. The dress is cut double-breasted, with a wee bit of real lace for a vester, soft rippling lapels that are enhanced by rome little flowers of the silk on the right side. The sleeves are very interesting. as they are the new full elbow, caught with two buttons to a high tight cuff. The skirt is intricately cut, to give full- ness and yet be seemingly straight, with a normal waistline belted with a stitched belt of the silk, backed by leather. The effect is extremely chic.
II FOR your mornings this autumn, three types of costume are shown, any one of which is es- sentially correct. You just take your pick!
If you have a good figure, have one of the new soft woolen plaid dresses. They come in many com- binations of color and many weaves of materials,
One of these is lovely, for its plaid is used to ad- vantage diagonally. It is chartreuse and black, the nice yellowy chartreuse, with green hinted at openly. This frock has a square neckline and buttons up from hipline with black buttons to the left-hand corner of the front of the neckline.
It has long sleeves that button xhụt, too, and a belt of chartreuse suede. Removable is the one- sided cape scarf. It makes a perfect cape on one shoulder and then fastens with more black bultous on the other. And what's more, it stays there, so it won't be bothering you all the sime.
III FOR the person who always prefers silk, there
is a slender liule hunter's green fat crepe. made with the cutest one-sided lapel or rever, from under which a delectable hand-embroidered organdie rever stands out.
It has a narrow ruching around this bit of lingeric which softens the face tremendously. A cingle big white button fastens it. Cuffs have a similar button. This frock also can be black flat crepe, if you prefer it to color.

IV. SUITS always have their following and this fall there's no wonder they do. A new suit made of plum color and beige diagonal wool has one of the new lip-length coats made with tippling jabot

wear.

lon's sidelines.
revers, the sleeves cut in one with the blouse, and a
yoke to the coat that is most interesting.
It is belted in the plum color and the buttons are of this tone, too. A tailored hat of felt to match is perfect with it.
V FOR the first autumn party, white satin is first bet. White chiffons, organdies and flat crepes yield to white satin, chalk white.
This white satin gown is autumn in every line. It has the new square neck, has glittering trim all around the neckline and has a belt, stitched against white suede, which is a Paris trick and a smart one to keep the belt looking self-reliant.
This is one of the very long new dresses. They are even making them with trains. However, so many women who started out in trains cut them off before they had gone for that the majority of dresses are without them to start with.
VI. FOR autumn dinners. there are new black.
lace gowns made of an entirely new lace, stif fer, coarser and yet beautifully designed.
One of these uses black lace for the skirt of the frock, with matching pink lace for the bodice, both made over matching patins. There is the cutest little neckline to this pink bodice, a little turn-back edging of the lace running all around the simple curved neckline, giving it a baby look that is sweet and becoming.
Over this the little short-sleeved jacket, with its peplum ties at the waistline. With the jacket on you have the sweetest kind of a black dinner gown. With it off you have a distinctly evening type of gown.
