HE latest news from Parls points to an easy time for the home dresS- maker. Lines for day dresses are simple and straightforward, with just a hint of squareness to the shoulders -and sleeves that are long are close Atting with little or no trimming.
It's the colour and fabric used that will lend an air of expensiveness to your clothes, For early on I notice attractive jersey fabrics, boldly striped or with a small conventional patterned design in several colours.
A bunch of anemones will give you a heap of inspiration for colour schemes, Also those delightful fuchsia reds and mauves can be easily combined to give an individual colour note,

Black never outlives its usefulness, and it is very fashionable just now, but it must be allled with a strong contrast of a purply or smoky blue, emerald or a subdued moss green, which is a favourite.
Other favourite hues will be those golden and reddish autumnal tints that you see when the trees are turning, mul- berry and plum red.
If you have just returned from your holidays your first need is a new office frock; If you have not yet taken your vacation you are perhaps still needing

A jaunty spotted scarf will give a sporty look to this dress if you make it in linen.

Stripes both for dresses and coat frock styles are strongly featured in the fabric world, and pattern No. 1107 is a dress that really sims the figure. Envelope Baps break the otherwise straight lines of the style which has useful pleats in the skirt.
Here again a long sleeve is included in the pattern as it makes an excellent early autumn style in a warm material.
The same sizes are obtainable-34, 30, and 40-in, bust. Size 38-in. bust takes 3% yds. 38-in. fabric to make up.

When You Wear Black
A black dress is a stand-by In any wardrobe. With a change of acces- sories it will appear eternally fresh and smart.
The dress sketched embodies new points that will appear in the autum fashions. The material is silk jersey, that lovely fabric which drapes so beautifully.
The skirt is plented all round and the bodice plan and collorless. Notice the sleeves which come just below the elbow and the buttons made of black beetles!
The heart-shaped bag in black suede matches the belt and gloves. Hats are going to tilt forward over the eyes and mount high at the back with nodding plumes this autumn.
The large while pique flower on the dress will be replaced by a fancy clip later on. Large pieces of jewellery, reminiscent of Victorian days, ard worn by women in Paris and London. They look well with black frocks. Tiny watches with enamelled bows hang on the lapels of suits, or else a fob or silver clasp is worn.
Lockets are sirung on fine chains and look attractive with the fashion- able Winterhalter evening gowns, while antique sophisticated touch to an otherwise plain frock.
