Let Our Autumn Opening Guide
Your Choice of New Fashions
...-a . .From the. hundreds .of fashions, that leave the designer's hands, it is. al
"' ."most impossible to choose the correct,' the smart, the . loveliest. . But from
this collection of fashions, as offered at our autumn opening, such a task be
comes a gay adventure with only success to crown one's choice. We have
sought long and culled carefully, and the cream of the season's modes is of
fered for your choosing. Hats, frocks,, coats, suits, footwear and scores of
new and different accessories all make their bow tomorrow night. You are
cordially invited to see them.
The New. Mode Is Frankly Feminine
!And lavishly full with shirring and smocking. Tiers in endless variety.
The Moused- back and swathed liip be low which flares a full short skirt. The
youthful jaunty bolero. The f latterin g drop shoulder. Contrasting yoke.
Eich embroidery. Lingerie touches. - Pleats and peplums. These are just a
few of fashion's newer gestures for fall, developed in rich satin, velvet,"
moire and crepe. All of these you will find here, as long as they are new and
'smart. - - ' -
The Mode For Evening,
. Glitters Smartly
Sequins, pearls, gold and silver all lend
their brilliance to the new mode for even
ing a mode of new lines, new colors and
new fabrics. A mode that features a daring
ly new decolletage, the uneven hemline,
the "fish tail," the very full skirt and lines
deftly molded to the figure. A mode of
chiffon and metallic cloth, of fluttering
fringe and soft feathers, of velvet, taffeta,
satin and lace. A mode in which the gayest
colors are the smartest, and black the
smartest of all. Here the smart women may
see the new evening mode at its best."
Smartness Means
Slenderness--Even In Furs
There is a beautiful alterness in the smart
.well-dressed figure of today, a slim, well
poised air, even in a heavy fur coat. For
the most skilled furriers have fashioned
and designed, eliminating the bulkiness,
bringing out the sinuous lovliness of the
heaviest pelts. To obtain such' expuisitely,
fashioned fur garments one must perforce
patronize the finest of houses. The woman
of fashion, the woman who knows furs, will
realize that here are fur garments fashion
ed for herself by the hands of an artist.

A whimsical chapeau is called "Tea
for Two" and closely resembles an avi

the forehead and covering the ears .

Plaided velveteen is very smart f or
the jumper of two-piece frocks or for
the short jackets in either case, ae-.
companied by skirts of plain fabric. ;;
From the troubadour days come ;
gowns with quaintly puff ecL sleeves, -ruff
collars and ribbon trimming ap
plied to give the effect of baloons.
Transparent velvet sounds like a con
tradiction in terms, but this new vel
vet is transparent, and it is velvet, it;.;
The new silhouette is large at the
shoulders, due to deeper armholes and ;
Moused effects, and narrow at the hem
The deeply cut armhole, with sleeves
starting from the waistline up, is one
of the important autumn features.
The mode uses tiers as her ally to gain
the ends of smartness.
Paris, after using navy blue all spring,
endorses it for winter coats.
Crowns go higher and higher, but al
ways they are softly draped and creas
ed. Stitched velvet hats in color are lovely
for the not-so-tailored costume.
The newest materials are woven to
give the effect of embroidery. Metal
thread is a favorite on woolen.
Valencia blue is a cheerful shade with
a hint of purple in it.
Black has come . back this season
stronger than ever.
The nasturtium tones are high fav
orities; browns yellows and oranges.
Paris calls the same shades "African
colors."
Paterned jumpers with plain skirt are:
new and mos'f effective.
The Cardigan neckline is seen every-
where. It has certainly made an in
stantaneous and lasting -success. -
Informal coats arc in beige-and-brown,
first black and white, second
and after that anything you wish.
Fringe beads, sequins paillettes; these
add glitter and movement to evening
gowns.
When sleeves are long they do many
interesting things to show their versa
tility. The up-in-front line at the waist is
achieved by slight draping, or by con
trasting trimming applied to give that
effect.
If you want to wear a dress and coat
of different colors let a shoulder flow
er be the link between them.
The higher waistline and longer skirt
has appeared in Paris, for evening
only.
Fullness and draping are smarter if
one side is different from the other.
They need no longer be "balanced."
