Charming Models Built of Green and Brown Duvetyn, WMeh Promlae to •e Conspicuous Fall and Winter Favorites. plaits, M well as by cleverly placed stitched tucks, which gives the slim silhouette. Distinctive Modele. A smart coat and skirt costume is fashioned on the lines of those which no doubt will be seen on the modish womnn this fall and winter. This suit is made of soft, green luvetyn. The closing of the front is effected by one single button at the waistline. The collar is high and fustens with two buttons. There is a single wide revers faced with velvet The full flaring coat skirts slant away from the front. The skirt is also made with a seam which begins at the left sjde of the waistline and slants toward the right. A hat of green velvet In same tint as the coat revers completes the costume. Another suit is made of black velveteen, the coat semlfitted and fastened straight down the front from chin to a little below the waistline with a row of small, round, material buttons and loops. The sleeves are also button trimmed. At the hips three tions have changed. 8uch charming blouses have been developed these latter years that the simple shirtwaist-- forerunner of them all--now seems to be relegated to the row of discarded garments. Perhaps the laundry problem has had something to do with this. While many business women prefer the tailored shirtwaist it is now apt to be of a soft pliant crepe or satin or silk requiring no starch and the simplest laundry attention. Well-dressed women everywhere recognize the value of the blouse in the exact shade of the coat suit, making thus a perfect costume as a rule suitable for almost every occasion. Smart Georgette Models. This fall there are the smartest of little blouses of georgette crepe or crepe de chine in all the fashionable colors. Often a blouse, say of navy blue or brown georgette crepe, will have a relieving note of beige or some light harmonizing tone and frequently they are made over n of the lighter tone material. New and Vivid Colorings The smart'woman of limited income will pay little heed to the new and rather vivid colorings. She will quite wisely choose one of the lovely browns, or blues or greens which are offered, leaving the new Liberty reds for her more fortunate sisters with a larger wardrobe. For the materials, •he will choose duvetyn--that is, If she can afford it--but; if she finds this too expensive, then she will favor fine velours or a soft velveteen, a Polret twill or a heavy English serge. The phrase "unbelted, yet belted," may be used in describing a suit with a coat which is straight and long to the knees. It has a flat back and front, while circular rippUng fullness Is held under narrow belts at the waistline at either side. A narrow rolled collar runs almost to the waistline where the two front sections of the coat meet and fasten with link buttons of black bone. There are pockets outlined with bands of the material, but no trimming is used, The skirt, which Is ever so slightly circular, falls,in ripples to a becoming length. Especially created for the wqpian who favors loose lines in spite of the new semlfitted effects Is a lovely design that would be charming In duvetyn or velvet, materials to which It Is very well adapted. Most distinctive are the lines of the coat. Though back and front are 'flat, there are loose flowing sides that tuck In under at the bottom. The narrow belts of the material confine the waist in front, while a straight band of the material forms the collar, crushing softly around the neck. Long fitted sleeves are finished with unusual cuffs, loops of the material. The skirt is very simple with easy fullness. Cuff Turban Is New.

This year there are manjr pleated skirts and with than' are worn blouses of linen, cotton crepe, or dimity in gay hues, such as bright yellow, jade green, Belgian blue, watermelon red. Gulmpes of pongee are also practical. All the somber melancholy of lonely hills and moor? and thoughts of war Is taken out of clothing, even though j the "original firsts" in the way of ma-1 terials remain faithful. J Ike blouses are considerably longer j walsted than the skirt waist for older girls and are not trimmed except for a bit of hemstitching or wool embroidery. Collars are mostly round and low. Jumper frocks are again quite the thing and preferred often to the whole dress of dark fabric. For jumper frocks the plain serges are more appropriate than the plaids. Some smart all-serge frocks for school girls have capes attached. Purplee and lavenders are no longer the "old ladies'" colors, for we haye no "old ladles" now-a-days, and so even tots of two and three years are considered appropriately dressed-In a dainty frock of lavender organdie trimmed with white.
