DAILY no "TIMES oF fds LTT | Honors Are Divided Evenly in Many of the Essentials -- It is the Little Thing That Tells the Story. F you are looking for change, as fall approaches, you will not be disappointed, for changes are many. But it id pot in essentials that this Is apparent, yather is it detalls,. One may assume that fashion is very well satisried with the advance she has made Ip the pust few seasons, and it is away from severity and man- nishness toward softness and grace. In a way, the changes are vefinements of what already exists, Yet ope Is conscious of a trend toward something-or-other, though nothing definite is apparent, It is very like a smooth flowing stream ----one is not really sure there is a current until progress is noted by the changing shore line. The fall and winter mode will be very dif- ferent from the mode of spring and summer, but the difference will be achieved by means that are only subtly varied, pot definite steps at all. For designers have a double problem, We like the mode of the moment, and anything new must have an equal, even a greater appeal. But there must be things new to keep up our interest In clothes, the biggest business In all the world. To make acceptable changes that will pique our interest and meet our approval is the effort of the orig- inators that are trying to lead us, yet keep us pleased at the same time. The Value Of Variety Apparent There are so many. ways that fashion can change, and there are s0 many possible changes for each way, that ope can truly say that there is variety within variety, and the designer counts on this. Fabrics can change, and weaves within the fabric group, colors may be stressed that were not in favor the season preceding, and shades of popular colors may vary, and variety can be introduced in the combination of both color and fabric. The silhouette can change, and within the general line we have detailed lines--npeck, walst, hem and 80 on. And the detailed lines take many courses, writing a dif- 'ferent tale each time. From the pew groupings we may select one each, and we will And, when we bave assembled the whole, that it is eminently satisfactory, but does pot, in the slightest, resemble the offerings of the season that we are bidding good-bye. We will recognize the fact that some of the ideas that were intro- duced, tentatively, In spring and summer clothes, now appear bold- ly, as a part of the new mode arriving. They have been tested and found good, therefore they are made a definite part of fall fashions. There is a tendency ap- parent to try out a theme one sea- son, then stress it the season fol- lowing, if it meets with the ap- proval of the buying public. This idea Apparent In The Silbouette If you care to look back over the years, you will ind that the idea of width, the flare and movement have been a long time reaching their present status. We were introduced to the kinetic silhouette some seasons ago, and were intrigued with this departure from static. We now find our- selves a long distance from the immovable lines that character- ized the tube or pencil silhouette | of the post-war period. Fuliness has been tried out ev- | erywhere, with original interpreta- | and black and white used com- tions of everything that would con- | spicuously. tribute to it. | patterns brings us bordered and | are featured, when it comes to we are offered flared lines with the flare beginning low, well below the hipline, and the silhouette, far from belng straight above the flare, shows a decided tendency to moulded lines. For several sea- sons there has been talk of the "princesse," but only hints of it are apparent, so far, Perhaps this fit-and-flare Idea Is | the most no le of any that are offered, and it will bear watching. That 'the old-time princesse gown will return is unlikely, and we see far more of its influencq In eve- ning wear than anywhere else, We may never lose sight of the fact that the evening mode is the best place to look for innovations, for it is there that designers yield to flights of fancy and their active imagination, Flounces And Tiers Are Used For the achievement of flaied | lines there i# no better medium than the flounce or the tier, the latter cut circular, or in a fitted line. It is surprising how much width is to be found in this fuli- ness placed low upon the skirt, | for the molded hipline above it fits snugly. The waistline Is a com- promise to one's individual needs, | for you may say that It is normal | or low, as you look at the top or the bottom of the swathed hip. We often see, and pote with envy, slender youth with a really | normal waistline, no attempt made | to conceal it. But only the slender lady can wear it, and plumpness calls for a more conservative line Above the waistline there Is a tendency to repeat the skirt treat- ment, and ope notes tiers oy flounces as a part of the bodice | treatment. For several seasons we have felt that we could please ourselves, | when it came to the neckline for our frock, -And it will be the same | this fall, although there is ten dency to stress the bateau line in | a modified form. Probably the V-line will continue the favorite, for it is beloved of the large wom- an and the woman with a short neck. Kerchiefs, scarfs and tles will be important in neck treat. ments. Sleeves An Important Detail As yet the fashionable sleeve is in an experimental stage. Some of the designers are inclined to introduce width at the elbow while others keep to the tight line. In the same spirit of indecision, some flare the sleeve below the elbow and others puff it. There is, how- ever, one type that remains com- fortingly with us-- the bishop mode), although width above the band or tie at the wrist is some- what modified, ' They promise' us velvet, satin and chiffon as the outstanding fabric fashions for fall. This means, only, that they will be specially favored, and the other materials, as crepe, silk, the metals and novelty weaves will make a background. Wools will include the kasha weaves, broadcloth, velours, wool crepe, flannel, tweed and jersey, each in its allotted place--sports, dress or strictly formal. We know that great progress has been made with tweeds, and that the basket weaves are im- portant. The vogue for figured | | | panel designs, and all over prints, in small motifs, are featured.

Sheer linen is the daytime choice, apd it is, printed, the patterns inclining to demureness and the colors plain. | White bandkerchiefs prefer the ipitial, 2 monogram, or a modest design. Evening brings out the large kerchief of exquisitely fine material, as batiste, trimmed with the sheerest laces and nets or with maline. Black lace, of Chantilly type, trims kerchiefs in delicate pastel shades, and care must bé given to the choice of this detaj) lest it be inharmonious and | ruin the ensemble effect. Sport kerchiefs are gay affairs, alive with color, but closely associated with | some detail of the outfit. » PID YOU KNXOW-- THAT there are mew and in- triguing offerings in the flower garden of fashion, all planned for wear with the new models of the season?

Felt, very soft and fine, is also used for the same type of clothes as leather. Materials vary according to the use to which the flower jis put, and velvet and chiffon are liked. the latter used on evening gowns in trailer style, the chiffon often- times a print. There is a fine use of color in the way flowers are applied to one's gowns. When the dress is of-a printed chiffon, the flowers--roses or gar- denias--may be in one or more plain colors, repeating the tones that predominate in the pattern. At times there are as many as four separate blossoms, each in a dif- | ferent tone, and one can instantly see the possibilities of such an ae- | cessory for accenting color Vel- veteen is a new fabric to become material for designers of this de- | tail. | tion, | of safe economy. | godets, Mention should be made of the | approved for | accessory line that has been intro- | fashions we find the normal waist- | group- )] = odd piece is sufficient to smarten a simple frock, but there must be a fine correlation of parts, if sue- cess {is to result.

Since the mode stresses curves, angles and the ltke, with more than a little accent on modernistic effects, it is not strange that these ideas are carried out in so small a thing as a glove. Effects not unlike patch- work are seen and there are clever uses of thongs and lacings in color, Silk, velvet and embroideries ap- pear on them. The pleats, godets, tiers, ruffies, flounces and panels of the frock mode are noted in the glove mode. Bracelets, not new but smart, are a distinctive touch. And there is no small amount of rivalry be- tween the slip-on and the tailored, one-button glove. Colored gloves have made a place for themselves, portant material, as well as the reptilian leathers.
