Fashion Notes for Misses and Children

OUNO girls are as anxious to

& I keep pace with the styles aa : j I their mothers and at the

ma ume tn7 wini w pr serve their youthful appear

ance; hence, a touch of the

prevailing adults atyle tempered with a strong decree of simplicity la the key, not of the misses' styles for this fall and winter. Two-piece garments in mannish effect ara much In vogue. These suits have vary little if any trimmings and rely 'largely on the grace of contour for attractiveness. These are shown for the most part In serges, cheviots and faaer worsted. The waist line la elongated in all the most faahionable models

and this effect la brought out in both the coats and skirts. Large pocket flaps, or straps of the material coming several Inches below the waist, are much In evidence. The Buster Brown belt Is much employed. The tendency Is to make coats quite long, ranging from 40 to 50 Inches In length. In the skirts, the deep yoke effect is very prominent. Some - have a pleated flounce, others have pleata at the side and panel fronts, or vice versa. The separate coats are mostly of coverts and broadcloth and range . from seven-eighths to full length. In these

the skirts are pleated, giving the effect of dresses. in the dresses for school wear, Peter Thompson suits are very well taken again thia season. With these, yoked skirts are shown. Also coat dresses fastening In front and trimmed to give a long waist effect are very "chic" For afternoon wear the dresses are made of such materials as crepe de chine, broadcloth and line serges. Party frocks are of organdie, net, chiffon, crepe and similar dressy fabrica. The characteristics of these dresses are the long waistline, close fitting , sleeve and pleated skirt. The sleeves are either of same material as the dress or else of lace or net, usually of the same color as the body fabrics. Small yokes are the rule. The colors employed mostly are navy, raisin, smoke, dark rose, Prussian blue.

gendarme, bottle green and seal brown. Also two-tone combinations of these colors. In the children's dresses the Russian effects are In high regard. The handsomest of these are trimmed with hand embroidery collars and cuffs and of ttlmes hand embroidered bands. , The edges of these trimming effects are scalloped and sometimes this trimming idea is carried down the entire front of the dress. Loops of cord and buttons are also much employed in trimming these dresses. Others have soutache braid trimmings in military effects and still others use buttons entirely for the trimming complement. Self covered buttons or jets in various siacs are fashionable. Sailor suits are also shown a great deal. The skirts are pleated and yokes similar to the women's styles are shown. Serges, cashmeres and broadcloths are used and in the wash fabrics pique, rep, linons and percales. Checks, plaids, stripes and novelty weave predominate. In children's coats broadcloths, crush plushes, velvets, pony and bearskin are the most favored materials. There are also shown many silk coats of bengalino and moire In blacks and colors. All the coats are simplified modela of the women's lines. The cleverest ideas in children's headwear for this season show fancy bonnets of felt, beaver, velvet, bengallne, bearskin and crush plush. They are moat effective when they harmonize In material with the coat. They are trimmed with ribbons, feathers and occasionally, flowers. Besides these picture bonnets, close-fitting caps are shown for the younger children. These are made of the same materials as the bonnets. Hats are not so fashionable for the younger children this season as the bonnets.

Novelties in Ladies Stationery

Styles In writing paper follow the mode in dress, as the trail of tbo dog follows the way his nose points. Thus we have the latest creation . from the paper loom, If paper is made in looms. In the Ottoman papers. These, together with the fine, delicately tinted Japanese papers are the "dernier eri" The

aw i, w j iiiv w j , hiumi won K nerovs In else, ditto tho envelopes. And the sheets are nearly square. The Ottoman Is simulated, rather than actual, as the ridges would naturally interfere l with tho free movement of tho

Tho stylish high handwriting so much affected by society women for some time past Is quite out of it and . has been superseded by an attempt at a revival of the old-fashioned angular handwriting of the grande dames of tho second empire. It Is becoming, also, on the large square sheets of delicately tinted Ottoman, And on the fine Japanese patterns ft is yet more characteristic. Tho plain English papers in the solid blues and in cream will always bo used by conservative ladies of the old school. These, however, come In lighter weights than formerly. And there are some new tints like cobalt, veldt, which Is a dull

yellows and pinks known as tho Sahara. . .

The newest fashion in monogram le rather hard to describe. But it is formed of a looping of the letters into the shape of an immense hinge, and Is bracketed on the side of the sheet, bang up against the edge, until it looks as If a part of It had depassed In stamping. These brackets are put on In the Bysantine colors and are rich. Another new form of monogram is the perfectly square medallion, the letters distorted to make the square which is set on the bias. Or, rather, the letters are set on the bias In the square. Many of these are done in a single color, old rose or night blue. They are fetching. The tiny monogram medallions are no longer the thing and ;the stamping Is done on much larger, bolder line Soma of the bracket hinge designs are fully two Inches In length. There Is a tendency to put the street and number on the visiting card more freely than for some time. Most of the American ladies living in Paris had formerly followed the French custom of not putting their addresses on their cards. But this has been found too inconvenient for people who are likely to move from apartment to hotel and back again ever so often. And the fad cost, too. many disappointments to friends who were often unable to find where to write or to call or make a

visit. Besides, tho same reason which makes a Frenchwoman leave her address off her visiting card, does not exist with foreigners. French people rarely move or make new acquaintances. Everybody knows where to find the ones they wish to see. It Is perhaps not generally known that although America is the country par excellence for good paper of all kinds, yet most of the wealthy American ladles whose names are well known In the world of society order their stationery, visiting cards, etc.. In Paris. There is an establishment In Rue St. Honore kept by two maiden ladles, the Miles. St. Tves, who fill most all these orders. And a curious person passing by their window most any day may sea such names as Mrs. Potter Palmer, Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, Chauncey M. Depew. and, in fact, the whole gamut. Curious, isn't it? There is a new thing in an invention Of wax for the sealing of letters which deserves a medal. For, in spite of the double envelopes which are now universally required, tho demand for the stamping with wax is just as great at ever. This proves that tue fear of having a letter opened by some Indiscreet person had nothing to do with the fad for sealing wax.

Separate Blouses Continue Popular

By Rene Mansfield

T

.HERE are two articles of dress

that women have clung to stubbornly. One is the short walking skirt, the other the practical, convenient, separate waist. Styles may come and

styles may go the odd blouse seems destined to go on forever. In spite of the prevalence "of one-piece gowns, as long as the street suit reigns we will doubtless have the separate waist and in some other form, long after. Though the blouse of contrasting shade with the skirt is now never worn by the welldressed woman, the silk blouse the color of the suit Is absolutely necessary to complete the costume. These are being shown in all tho lighter weight silks, such ss liberty satin, messaline, changeable taffeta, satin finish crepe de chine, satin glace, etc. Sleeves have a decidedly fuller tendency, and a description of one of the sleeves seen on one of the latest gowns will serve to illustrate the type of sleeve we may expect to be greatly used during the winter. It is a sleeve full enough at the top to be laid in close side plaits across the entire arch of the shoulder seam. This fullness Is banded close to the arm some four -or five inches below the shoulder. From there down the sleeve becomes a moderate size leg-o'-mutton pouf over the

elbow, and there enters Into a second band, either matching the upper one or else one laid in folds of the same fabric. The upper plaited fullness ends under an arm band, while the elbow pouf be low haa far less material. The side closing which has been so popular during the summer will be seen on many of the fall walata. One model with this detail, developed In satin, bad a graduated frill of plaited chiffon falling from the shoulder along the closing. Satin buttons formed the trimming on the edge of the closing and en the sleeves.

cc&om xzmoDTTCEB nr iarann WAISTS. In these days of steam heat, the lingerie and tailored linen waists are as much worn in winter as tn summer. Some of the latest models show s decided innovation In the Introduction of delicate colors. Dainty batistes and linons barred in color make up smartly, and occasionally one finds a pretty blouse of white embroidered all-over. In some small design of color, usually a dot er a ring. The waists are simpler In design than those of Isst season, and as the elaborate lingerie blouse haa rather lost caste for dressy occasions, the modern version of the "tailored blouse'' Is in good form-for general wear.

The flfl MttOft crept! tmbretaered tn white er colore are practical for traveling, since they can be washed out quickly and worn without Ironing. They can be bought tn various colorings, bat the white blouse embroidered In color to match the frock la first favorite. A popular manner of trimming ts to carry the band of lace or embroidery from the neck. In one piece, down tbo , ehoulder line to the cuff. This has a

tendency to widen the shoulder line, which will be noticeable la the spring models, those who know affirm. It ts also whispered in the Inner circles that there will be a gradual return to Jhe elbow sleeve for lingerie waists, which haa beca given up go reluctantly.
