UTUMN, 1929, is to be a season of styles as full of pitfall: for the unwary woman as the proverbial irtatious feminine race is for the unwary male.

There is much choice to be bad in the way of berthas, flounces, boleros, scarfs, jabots, „fichus, tala, petals, billowing ruffles and fluttering panels, A woman must know her height, width. hip-measure and proportionate waistline Lefore she is safe in her choice of clothes. A

Stripes, plaids and embroidery trimming offer more ways of falling from the paths of chie, They may make a woman look slender and charming when appropriately selected. But they can make a woman look terrible, too. The fur trimming introduced this fall is equally dan gerous. No slouf woman should ever choose the trim that widens sleeves, widens collars anel makes coats look more voluminous. These are for the chosen, those slender figures that can stand and carry proudly the unusual trim

There is new bulk in the making of evening modes. But that does not for a minute mean that women inside these" gowns- should increase their own bulk Far from it. The slender figure, albeit it has curves, is the one to cultivate. Waistlines are more important than they have been since the slenderizing craze hit America. and the pencil figure was the envy of all hearts. It is not enough, however, merely to mark the waist line, Paris suggests it, by unusual girdle effects, by princess cut, by peplum motifs and other intricate designs.

T FOR evening Bernard creates this charm

ingly simple frock that embodies the spirit of change that fall brings in. It is of päle green georgette, with its, bodice slightly fitted to sug gest a normal waistline over which a belt it fastened with an ornamental strass buckle. This model has a modest rounded neck in front but a law one. in the back.

The frock's silhouette is slightly princess with Two deep flounces of intricate cut that rise in the back to fall in folds as long side trains clear to the floor. The front of these flounces are in folls, too, introducing that increased bulk in fabric which is one of fashion's new whims.

II. WHEN cold days come and the fur coat feels good once more, velvet skull-tur- bans will be in their glory. These little hats are a combination of the best points of the turban. the berrt and the toque. This one from Reboux, imported by Henri Bendel, New York, is of burgundy velvet, with a flower trim on the sides of velvet ranging from soft old rose, through several wine shades to burgundy. This hat. like many of the winter ones, is high off the fore- head, to capitalize the eyes which are of in- creasing importance with the new styles.

embroidered in various colors with a bit of orange and rust, mingling in the beige and browns. Flources of beaver are attached to the sleeves above the elbow with the sleeve it. self coming out from under this luxurious trim with a deep cuff of the rich embroidery. The collar of beaver is chic in its height and lack of width.

The skirt of this suit is of matching beige crepe, pleated across the front from the waizi. line. The sweater that fits down over it is of beige tricot, with the front cutaway from the waistline to show the skirt's pleats. Its neck. and sleeves are finished with a single line of embroidery.

IV, PARIS has always preferred black to any color for formal daytime wear. Therefore, significant is this Martial and. Ar- mand basque frock in black crepe de chine.

It has a new basque effect which is a gradu- ated peplum that rises in the front to a ligh whistline and swings to low depth in the back. The waist blouses slightly above it, all around. The sleeves are cut in one with the dress and fine handwork decorates 'the front of it as it does the belt above the basque. Touches of white, with hems of fagotting, decorate it.

The skirt has fine rows of fagotting running up to a point in front, much the same as the bell of the frock lines upwards. Below the bipline a pleated flounce takes the same upwards course, giving much fullness when Milady walks but hanging in narrow, slender lines when she is in tepore.

V. MARTIAL and Armand created this

mousseline priar formal afternoon frock." distinguished chiefly for the cut of its sleeves. The material is a design of wild roses and sprays of green leaves against a white back- ground. The sleeves are cutaway from the bodice under the arms and then joined together. to Fashian cape sleeves that end in long cuffs, buttoning with pract buttons clear to the elbows.

The bodice laces up the front and ties its batteau neck with little strings of the material, hand-sewn. There is a plain colored mousseline girdle that ties in a sash bow in the back, after being thirred in simple and charming manner. under each arm. This is in the pink of the 19ses. Several panels of fullness swing, over a skirt that is cut in paints and is much longer in " the back.

VI. FASCINATING for its new line and fabric is this ensemble from Nicole Groult, with a sleeveless coat of checkered fabric over a plain crepe frock collared and cuffed in the checks,

The coat's material is beige wool checked in red of two shades. The frock is buttoned down the front with red flat buttons and has an in- crustation of the cost's bright mixture on it, as well as scarf collar and narrow cuffs. The coat. in turn, has incrustations of the plain fab- rie of the frock for its pockets.
