It fits in with a new order of things in ap parel, and that is, the demand for smart, dressy clothes that remain in formal even though they are made ot rich or, dainty fabrics. But American women show very decided preferences in the styles they choose; their taste runs toward plain skirts of heavy silk fiber materials and skirts of georg ette or organdie with wide hems and tucks. The trend is away from fussi ness, but little clever originalities, in details of finishing and making, are all the more appreciated because of this. Paris has presented for fall, somewhat elaborate models of striped and plaid velvet and other materials and possibly, with the coming of cold weather,, we may take up with these. Here is a skirt for present wear of heavy white crepe meteor. It has the fashionable length and wide hem, the latter serving to weight the supple crepe so that it hangs beautifully. Its very wide, folded girdle is loose about the waist but its casual folds are tacked to place. It fasten at the side with snap fasteners Undel a nar row fold, but two large, handsome buttons make a fine pretense! of use fulness placed over the : invisible fasteners. y Little baskets are embroidered in brown wool on thejskirt, atujj yellow figures, that may be translated, ac cording to your imagination, Itjto fruit or flowers, overflow them. -TJiese lit tle baskets have handles of the brown wool which serve to camouflage the slit pockets that slip into the; skirt at each side under them. Except for them "there would be nothing unusual about this skirt but with them it has the one, thing needful to put it in the class of distinctive models, -j The blouse worn with this -skirt is a tailored model of white crepe de chine, but these handsome pkirts are very adaptable and are vforn with much fancier blouses than the one pic tured when occasion demansl them. Fashionable Sweater Coats hi y I ft, nniiin mi ilium iiiiiiiiiiinim mwnrrrr trTTrBiffiiiiiiWiWMtiNwiitinnflriBnBtiaMtliiiinniiniiiTO m. The sweater, that summer and win ter companion of the outdoor girl, is no fair-weather friend. But, never theless, it has taken its cue from the suit coat this summer, and is made in several very attractive styles that open down the front and demand a vest or blouse to be worn with them. These vests are not always of the sub stantial kind, but are varied, accord ing to the demands of occasion and weather. Sometimes they are of crisp organdie and lace and sometimes of plain weaves in fiber silk. It is the vest that adapts the sweater coat to the' day and the occasion. The last word in these attractive late-summer sweaters is spoken and the . picture above conveys itto you. Of the two models shown, the one at the right is the most novel. It Is made of fiber silk, knitted (by machinery) in a wonderfully pretty fancy stitch, with a facing that forms a collar tn a simpler stitch. The belt Is knitted to match the facing, and one end of it slips through a slide in the other end both, are pointed afd fasten with a loop over a pearl button. The cuffs and a border about the bottom of the sweater are knitted in still another stitch, and a narrow band of black in troduced in them, gives a sharp and brilliant color contrast. This sweatt er Is made' In several bright colors rose the favorite, with yellow and tur quoise following. It is shown with a lace vest that a blouse can be OIs- pensed with on warm dayf. When the weather is cooler a blouse replaces the vest. ' ' . The same model is shown in the sweater' at the left, but it;is knitted, in a ribbed pattern ypcl of jool yarn. The belt is supported at the sides by narrow straps which it slips' through, and is adjusted lower than in the sweater at the right. ' The'rmpdels are shapely and fine, and there;is a neat ness about them that is devoutly to be wished in sweaters. Iff life? r Make Your Filet Sweater. The filet sweater grows amazingly fast in the hands of the needle woman who a few years ago learnqd to crochet filet lace for her linens. The' patterns are not intricate and the designs are "filled in" with a simple crochet stitch. Done in wool, these sweaters are a quick and easy task, especially if they are made without sleeves. i EVIDENCES OF PROSPERITY McRae Reports Enthusiastic Recep tion of Plans of South Atlantic Export Corporation. Wilmington. Hugh McRae has re :urned to this city after a tour of a dozen of the largest cities in the state in the interest of the South Atlantic Exort corporation, which aims at the upbuilding and development of the commerce of -North Carolina and the Southl and reports that he met with enthusiastic reception of the scheme everywhere.
