Radical and revolutionary changes of fashion are no longer feas- ible. Women are led up to these chamges gently and by degrees, so that they may not shy when con- fronted by them. The extensive use of laces and flounce trimmings is to a great extent responsible for the slight deviation from the straight line silhouette, clearly notieable.in the latest models imported from Pari- is.

A big black ilk bow and pipings of black lend of cream serge for a girl of sixteen. The model is fashioned in one piece, opening in the front, a simulated op- ening in the back being fastened with white silk lacing. Low Neckwear Still Popular. Low neckwear will by no- means be abandoned with the coming of au- tumn, though there is always a ten- dency toward high and formal neck- wear as cooler weather approaches. For little fall street frocks of serge and mohair pretty collars and cuffs of linen and lace are ready and, of course, a handsome set of this sort will add greatly to the dressiness of | even the simplest frock.

Chenille dotted veils are again| fashionable, and cobweb effects hold | their own with women who find them | becoming, but the limp, silk mesh | veils are the favorites of fashion at | the present moment, and these veils| in both white and black will be \\'m‘ll‘ all through the early fall. | Tremendously High Stocks Commg Tremendously high stocks will, n is predicted, take the place of the and these tall stocks are made of the sheerest laces, well boned and fin-| ished at the top with a satin hem| or cording which keeps the thin ma- from getting shapeless and| slimpey.

Blue | serge or rough tweed traveling and motor coats have hood collars of scar-| let broadcloth, and blue serge suits| show dashes of the scarlet in the| trimming. With these semi-mili-l tary suits, many of which have smart touches of black braid, are worn the| broad somberro hats heralding the |approach of autumn. White is ex- lLlemely good in a hat of this kind, :hent into a becoming shape and Black and white as a combination | is more in evidence than ever. Black- | and-white stripes, black hats with | white crowns and the other way around, white lingerie frocks trim-| med with white and black or entire- | |y black velvet bands and white| | stockings with black shoes are some| of the many ways in which the vogue | is expressed.
