FADS AND FASHIONS

New York, Sept. 6. The displays In the large shops are beginning to ehrj more clearly the trend of fashion for j eutumn and. now give a fairly koo1 ! Idea of the styies which will probably i be worn during the coming season. The j rew pleated skirts, while showing Increased measurement, still come withln the two-snd-one-half-yard limit. A variety of pleats is shown, the ac- j cordion and machine pleated styles be- J Ins used in many of the smartest ' models, while the shallow Hide pleats j and flatly pressed box pleats are other j styles coming in for a large share of! favor. !

The machine pleats are so shal

and flatly pressed that they do not fly j to any extent, and for this reason they require no staying underneath. With i the side and box pleats it is ne.cet.sa ry j to have tapes fastened to the pleats at: intervals so that the straight line will be retained. ! rieats are used for the section be- j low the knees, the top having panniers and tunics. Pleats are also ijsod for j whole skirts. Groups of pleats are In-J eerted at Intervals around the skirt bottom, and pleated panels are placed' at the side, back or front. There is nosection of the skirt which pleats rannot be Introduced effectively. Some of j

these waists show fine pleated sections not only for the back and the front portions, but for the sleeves as well. The new school year Is about to begin and mothers of school-going daughters are busy preparing their daughters wardrobes for the fall and winter season. There is no more satisfactory fabric for the school girl than navy blue serge, and a frock of this sort, with an alternate frock of plaid woollen, or a mohair frock trimmed with braid, should stand by the echool girl very sturdily for the fall and winter terms. The blue anl green broken plaids are very attractive when made up with pipings of pl.-.in colored Bilk, a few silt or nickel buttons being added for the sale of youthful gaiety. . Smart little frocks are shown In the plrls' departments of the larjre shops, made of black and white checked mohair, with cuffs, collar and deep revers of black satin, a pleated frill of white batiste running down the front inside the satin revers. Half a dozen fresh frills come with the frock so that the school girl may be always fresh and dainty. A black patent leather belt finishes this neat and effective mohair schol frock.

Most of the blue serge modem are made In two-piece effect, with a straight, simple skirt, short enough to show the neat buttoned boot, and a belted Norfolk wnist opening at tha

neck over a chemisette of tucked lawn j or hatlete. These, belted waists are dear to the hearts of the young school girl, for they have a breezy, boyish suggestion that is fetching in the, extreme. Sometimes the Norfolk Is finished with a sailor collar opening In a V over the throat. A very attractive little belted frock, which might be copied easily In the home sewing room was exhibited In a Fifth avenue window the other day. Skirt and Jacket blouse were of the Inestimable navy blue serge, the skirt being Quite straight RnJ narrow in line, but having considerable width for all that, by reason of two deep inturnlng pleats set down either side seam. Over these pleats as fir as the knee stitehed on inch-wide strap of the serge ending in a pointed tab. The pleats, without interfering with the modish sllmness of the little skirt, would afford plenty of comfortable room for long tramps across the country, for tennis or other active sports. The Jacket blouse had no plants and no fancy collar. It was a simple, roomy affair with

lonjcr shoulder lines and large armholes, buttoning down the center front under a stitched Tap anil falling Jn a rounded-off peplum a wide leather belt. A black satin sailor collar of very moderate s-ize, a small black satin neckbow and narrow. turnedback black satin cuffs finished the blouse in simple, girlish manner. Never before has the school girl possessed a coat so eminently satisfying in every respect as the rough and ready Mackinaw, with its boyish cut, its big pockets and wide Collar, which may be turned tip around the throat and chin In inclement weather. These coats are made of rough worsteds, vicunas and fringed blanket cloth the fringed models being especially smart if a trifle more high priced than the ordinary belted styles. Some Mackinaw of bold plaidcd material have hoods at the back which may be turned up over the head and face on stormy days, but whatever the Individual style featured, the adorable Mackinaw has always the big patch pockets, into which the hands mav be thrust comfortably as one tramps about the campus. There are also mannish overcoats for

Simple little frocks that button at tbf front are always nice for a ninall pir) and we show in this model one of the cleverest of these designs. The dro;.s can be male with long or bhort sleevej and the chemisette is removable. The blouse is perfectly plain and the skirt is nicely plaited.

No fanciful reverse, no conspicuous buttons on these overcoats, and the material is usually some mannish worsted mixture in in invisible cheoke! or plaid pattern. Gray in all its shades and tones figures very prominently among the best of the new stuffs, toning down rnore vivid colors, or in self color or two tones of the one color. Many of the brighter colors of the new seasol-i, while not mixed frankly with gray, seem to have n softening dash of gray in their composition, n grayish bloom, one might cnll it. and mixtures in

Visit some of your friends who have done their cooking on Gas Ranges this summer. Ask them to tell you why they had more time to themselves, less work and more convenience than in the past when they used coal or wood for fuel. Ask them, also

whether they do not intend to continue to cook with Gas all of the twelve months of

the year. We have already done this and we have

been amply repaid for asking, but we would like you to find out for yourself. Then figure out for yourself whether it would not pay you to take advantage of that saving of time and labor especially when you can at the same time save money. Day in, day out, twelve months in the year, Gas is the most ecnomieal fuel you can use. You very soon save on coal what your Gas Range costs to buy. And you can buy it on very easy terms. Now is the time to buy a Gas Range when you can get a real bargain. See some of them in our show room or a representative will call on you when and where you say. Northern Indiana Gas &

which gray figures openly are legion. This is especially true of the wool stuffs for tailored wear and both thes.' materials and some of the smartest, velvets for street, wear are made to have the effect of gray hy a sprinkling mixture of black and white. The taupe shades lose none of their vofrue and deserve their continued popularity; for this brownish gray In all Its shades has a peeullarly.rerined air and Is very generally becoming, a thing that cannot he said for the iron, cinder, steel and silver gray tones. Taupe Is dark enough to h serviceable without sombreness and has enJoyed the distinction of not appealing to the mob that likes more spectaculir coloring and when' choosing a dark frock is fairly sure to choose black because the startling possibilities of black are almost unlimited. Nothing can be more distinguished, more chic, than black In some of Its aspects, but the woman who wants to attract attention can achieve her purpose more effectually through certain treatments of black than by dressing herself in crimson or orange. This Is not true of

taupe, however, and that fact has kept the latter color fairly exclusive In other seasons. despite its popularity. Hut there are Indications that it will be rather too much In evidence for exclusiveness during the coming season. Last spring it was taken up very generally for the one-plere trotting and many cheap models found their way Into the shops. Still, cleverly handled, thts color will undoubtedly retain its distinctive smartness through the coming season. FLOREN'CIO FA I R RA XKS.
