Very early Jast spri Pertinen tPoin ters for Having sensed the independent spir- jt with which they have to deal, the tailors and manufacturers have de- creed moderate styles for the fall and winter which are fair enough and will no doubt be accepted generally. Our street skirts will be ankle length, or shorter, and they will cut to give plen- ty of comfort in walking. Separate skirts, by the way, of tweed cheviot, yelours or heavy silk will be worn with dark, embroidered blouses under the new straight coats of soft black leather. Some of these skirts will be knife pleated. Coats will be long and slim, and numbers of them will have huge arm- holes. Buttoms, braiding and cording will be popular trimmings, collars will be high and the most of them will roll. We will be tucked and pocketed and ssed up in both coats and wore or less like paper dolls. The final some of them, yet as said before there is a strong tendency to a narrow skir- ted coat with vé deep urmholes and a collar of the shirred material or of fur. O@ fur coats there is much said elsewhere. But: the general trend in cloth ones shows that in the coat ve wore last year we cannot go far. wrong, for the new lines are not so radical but that we. can remodel them a bit snd conform to the current demand. Dolmans, dominant notes of late win- ter and spring fashions, will still be with us ‘this fall, but it is not prom- ised that their popularity will weather the winter. As with suits, bright col- ors will lead; we will see all shades of brown, bright reds.and various blues and greens,-even in coats for daytime wear. «The separate blouse is no longer an a’suit.to wear with -it. Prices on the most delictable ones think nothing of raising themselves to three figures, in- deed many of them are far and above the hundred dollar mark. If one isn’t an adept with the needle or hasn’t a stand-in with a buyer or something, one is just plain out of luck, that’s all.

For morning wear with the tailored suit nothing is prettier than a straight coolie blouse of crepe de chine or Canton crepe, chosen in a bright ‘shade and trimmed with a simple chain stich or braiding. A. delightful affair is a waist of ecru net over a lace-trimmed. bodice of the same. The waist should have a shirred belt of the net which is draivn up along the edges with colored ribbon run through casings. The im- portant item in making any blouse is te be sure of a good shoulder line and properly set sleeves. These net blouses are apt to sag anyway, so they may insets’ of fine embroidery and ecru lace insertion, The colored ribbon which trimmed the belt was seen in small bows at the neck and wrists also.

Ad infinitum could be reports! on the lovely afternoon frocks some of: which ure elaborate enough to wear — with Jacy hats for restaurant or dimer parties. Velvet combined with chiffon and silk mousseline, satin in’ lovely rich shades and the inevitable crepe georgette are among the favored fab- rics, and the somber dress which was quite the vogue la season is giving away to those of gay hue, red being one of the colors most favored -by de- it, bits of real lace are used on vests tiny straight sleeves of pastel chiffon and a many petaled tunic of the same completes an adorable whole. The chief charm of these flower frocks is that they are unlined and unboned. They allow absolute freedom in danc- ing and give a youthful impression which is very desirable but tricky if one is beyond the debutante pale.

The world’s great- est designers each proclamed his idea of the new era fashions, and each launched a hopeful number of their upon the boulevards, Am- s watched, purchased wa: ily and returned forthwith to have their heterogeneous assortment of modes accepted or rejected by the ulti- mate consumer. ‘American designers put a finger in the pie on their own aecount, and proclaimed their idea of what the next outline of milad, ure would be. So it went. Fashion magazines teemed with conjectures, even with positive prophecies, and dress designers threw up their hands and wondered. A distinct le wave has always followed every other war, and by all laws this one should have created its own positive following, But the designers reckoned without the women, who have found too much comfort in the war workers’ uniforms and the sane dress of the past few seasons. True, they owe it to the re- turning warriors to look their daint- jest and prettiest always, but they have discovered that it can be done otherwise than by following the whims of a few. while it may be said that for flappers they will be a little more along the classy. For the woman who desires long lines, I have in mind a style of suit which is being shown in many varia- tions and which will delight her heart. The suit which I thought especially pretty had a long shaped panel to the knees both front and back, which over- laid two side panels hanging to the rt hem. These side pan- ily braided. A_ rather wide shawl collar edged in Krimmer hed the coat, and the sleeves which were quite long and snug were trimmed in handmade button holes and self-covered buttons.

A notched collar and a narrow belt slip- ped through a buckle of the goods gave a snappy effect to the coat, and the plain skirt had a wide crushed girdle. Separate coats are more voluminous, For Every Occasion The hunger for music has a way of stealing upon us at the most unexpected moments./ Music is a matter of moods, and moods know no time-table.
