New Color Touch

The Paisley note is in evidence In many of the new smart street frocks of woof fabric, and, indeed, this-odd, brignc color touch really distinguishes a frock of somber hue. It is a decided relief from the colored wool and bead embroideries, which have been so fashionable throughout the past few

months, and which continue to be regarded probably as the most popular types of trimming in general use. The frock shown in the sketch employs navy serge, with an oddly shaped yoke extending also around the back of "the bodice, (tiffs and narrow, set-in side panels of Paisley—real or imitation, according to the ability of the gown’s owner jffijrqvlda.— As will be noted, this skirt breaks Well away from the straight-line es-

sects that have been In such high favor. The skirt is comfortably wide, laid in flut-plalted panels. These plaits are well pressed, as fullness without flare is a hard and fast ruin of street frocks and all tailleurs of the present season. v To make this frock, six and a half yards of serge 36 inched wide will be required. — - ~~1 ~ ~ The vogue for the One-ptece frock for street wear'is Increasingly strong. During the first cool autumn days nfur scarf was usually donned for comfort, and at the present time the modish over-all coats of soft velours or mixtures, plaids or tweeds are being seen in great numbers. Dresses of the type shown are active rivals of the great army of tailored suits prepared for the tempting 1916-17 woman. The suits shown this season are indisputably very like In last season, while the dresses present innumerable novelty features that please and attract.
