1 ' ' .,*? . Long Sleeves and Tunic for Autumn1 . Radical Changes Meet With | Disfavor?Fringe Trimming Favorite. Oontua and Ingenuity have an oral I similarity and nothing more. There la a vast difference between the poetle expression of a Shelley and the rhymes of the futurist, between the masterpiece of a Whistler and the ;vlvld painting of the impressionist. And there Is nn equally broad chasm separating the creative designer from jthe sensationally Inclined dressmaker. Iwho will even espouse the grotesque in au enddavor to give milady something different. The test of true greatness In fashion, asserts a Parts writer In the New York Herald-Tribune, lies In the ability of the designer to Induce a different mood rather than, to create a new mode. Through the ulISost Imperceptible raising of the twalatllne, the scarcely Invisible change In the sleeve or waist, the Lanvlns and ithe Chan els are able to accomplish tar Wore than nfl of the combined hack jdressmnkers who believe that a new style can only be achieved by compelling the mode to do an abrupt About-face. It la true enough that |the essence of fashion Is change, bnt It Is equally certain that human nature normally offers the strongest resistances lo any deviations from Its accustomed fare. The task for the genius of the couturier Is to reconcile these premises?to produce a vitally different effect, hut to avoid radically different themes; to lead the mode into unaccustomed channels by the moat accustomed methods. Not Favored by Autumn Mode. These are pertinent considerations In any analysis of the new clothes which will sonnd the costume keynote for fall and winter. A great deal of disappointment has been manifested because at the Paris openings and at the French shore resorts, where some of the fall clothes made their appearance, there -Is no evidence of a very radical change In the mode. The short skirt has become a little shorter, perhaps a little wider; the straight line maintains its Inflexible rigidity. And :the dilettante critics, lamenting bitterly over the evil days which have come to a mode which In their eyes knows no change, seize avidly upon the bizarre efforts of a few sensationalists whose creations will never grace. nu^uijiig more tnnn I Me momentary shoulders of the mannequin. The mistake of these too casual observers la that they consider the n.rnns and not the end. It Is true that (he tools of the designer have not greatly changed, that plnlt and bounce, ^slenderness and simplicity, tunic and scarf, arc just as potent factors In the neve tuode ns they were In the old. But It Is equally patent that the creative genius of the French couturier has brought a grace and dignity Into Its Infest fashions which will have a deeper significance than any of the so-called revolutionary changes which have been sponsored by the lesser lights of the mode. yhe Inauguration of a new style eyele Is not necessarily Indicated by Ibese artistic changes but there his been unquestionably added an atmosphere of maturity which has been conspicuously lacking In recent eeasons. The logical representations of the jnew autumn tendencies retain the istraight, short, slender simplicity of Beige Chiffon, Two Circular-Cut Flounces on Skirt, Long Sleeves. _ their predecessors In the mode, lull ' they have added n graceful austerity which quickly distinguishes them from the garcon styles of Inst season. They ire distinctive without being blzzare, different but not radical. The long tunic Is the most outst.md J rF3wrn'.'Ifflllffr of these truck* ! which also exploit line,- the flounce j and vivid colorings. The basis for all ; la-the simple nHltrmette,' now morr lasstils ensconced than ever licrnro Long Sleeves In the Mode. A distinguishing tenhire of the i.ii. season Is the long sleeve. While iqany of the dresses are still sleereleea, the really new note 1* the long, perfect-fitting sleeve adjusted to a small shaped armhole The sleeve follows the nut-l line of the upper nrm, fitting quite I snugly and sometimes even tightly. J .. From t'te elbt '\v down thar sleeve may i vary In form. Often It 1* finished ex- J acti> like a shirtwaist, with a little cuff baud; again It Is straight in Chi- | uese style and trimmed with a band of self HM'teritrt, this band in many instances being corded. But It has alxpf ji neat trim appearance. Occasionally these tight-fitting sleeves have below the elhow one or two plaited flounces or decorations of hand-embroidered fringes, made of cordonet or liliun, a smooth tubular cord which dressmakers are now using for sewn-ln and embroidered fringes. Hitch little strand- of the cord that forms tlie fringe it threaded through the fabric with a half-dozen or more stitches. Callot featured this sewn-ln fringe In the early spring, and it is ofie of the decorative themes that has become White Silk, Featuring 9 Combination of Flat and Fringe Embroidery. niOre pronounced as the senson has advanced. Such nn adornment immediately transforms the simplest looking dress Into one of quite elaborate style. It. In no way detracts from the slender line, as the threads, braids or cords used for this type of embroidery are of artificial silk and have both brilliancy and weight. The strands are sufficiently coarse to prevent tangling. It is quite apparent that simplicity \vill again be the dominant, note. Everything that Is slim and straight Is expressed in the newest dresses. The silhouette may have a flounce. It may he plaited, it may be cut with a slight flare fullness, It may be strqight around at the hem or there may be a tunic, but In nil its varying forms fashion keeps to the very straight line. Skirts Are Shorter. Skirts are distinctly shorter than they were at the February showings. Just as the straight tine has prevailed over the circular cut, so also has there been a definite movement in favor of the shorter skirt ns against the longer one. thus today the fashionable skirt Is both short and retains its slender outline. The- occasional wtdeness that Is being introduced at the autumn openings does not materially disturb the straight silhouette. The tunic form Is In evidence everywhere, and so Is the double volante with the upper flounce a bit fuller than the lower. Often the tunic Is flowered, embroidered or printed in high colore. Lovely new frocks are being made In pastel plaids of various shades of one color, notabiy mauve and peyvenche blue. This plaid tunic Is worn over n narrow foundation skirt of pure whlte^ which may be either plaited or plain. Once more the Paris modistes are staging a carefully prepared revolution against the perennial cloche which for the last few seasons has crowded every other chapeati nut of the picture, and. from early Indications, their newest efforts will be relatively successfill. Which does not mean that the cloche Is about to fade Into a quick oblivion, bnt hither that It will now he compelled to share the spotlight with hats of different types. ?The ftl. C'lmul Country club, because of its social Importance, has coine to he one of the most sign!(leant fashion centers of the preautumn mode, and the millinery exploited at this resort definitely, forecasts the styles which . will eventually,be adopted for fnlletnd winter.
