THE NEW AUTUMN SUIT FASHIONS It is impossible to trace this season's fashions to any period, for the style range is so wide and so varied that we receive a hint of one pe riod and a trace of borrowing from another. But on the whole, there's an individuality that is very attractive. The note that is dominant is practicability artis tically developed. And' we don't owe it all to Paris, either. Talent on this side of the water that, was never suspected, or played up to, has found itself, and it will mean in the future that many American dollars that formerly found their way to the fashion centers of Europe will remain in this country. The materials in Suits are sober in coloring and beautiful in texture. The trimmings are military in effect and fur is a big factor. a ' . . The handsome Suit illustrated is developed in dark: blue broadcloth, with revers of navy blue velvet, and collar of white broadcloth. Collar and cuffs are trimmed with skunk. Another most attractive Suit model just in is made of duve tyn, trimmed in beaver. The coat has an artistic fastening to one side, and the skirt shows the popular reefed effects. An unusually attractive Suit made of navy blue broadcloth has skunk raccoon trimming on collar and sleeves, the collar coming up snugly about the neck.- The wide panels of the coat are decorated with wool embroidery, a big factor in trimming this season, the design an effective conventional. The skirt is circular and slightly full at the waist. These are just examples culled here and there from our extensive new stocks that are now on display in the large new Apparel Salons. We wish to announce, too, that we make a specialty of ca tering to women who require extra sizes carrying suits, coats and dresses up to 56 bust measure. We also specialize in misses' and small women's sizes, having a splendid assortment from 13 years up. And our prices are the most moderate youll ever find for merchandise of such merit.
