CHANGE TO TULLE AND LACE FOR DANCES AUTUMN FASHIONS New material and new colours usher in the autumn fashions that will soon be shown. On the whole, however, there is little difference to chronicle in the new styles. For street wear our clothes must be severely tailored, with very short skirts, for afternoon wear dainty and voluminous with frilled sleeves and peacock hems, and for evening and dance w T ear the bodices are close-fitting and the skirts very irregularly long. Plain repps and serges will probably be outnumbered by the new flecked tweeds of not too heavy a weave for the tailored suits in which we shall go shopping in the morning. In place of the conventional felt hat we shall choose a tailored tweed to match our costume, and our shoes will be of reptile skin with high but stout heels. For afternoons, quite the prettiest material is patterned transparent velvet, and black will be the most fashionable shade. The corsage Y7ill be made bolero fashion, and the hem will be peacock, while if any fur is used for trimming, lynx will he most fashionable. Evening frocks favour grosgrain combined ■with tulle for materials, and the full skirts are made to dip

unexpectedly where the two materials combine, chiffon and lace, and corded taffeta and tulle are other attractive combinations, but each and every one must boast the irregular hemline.

These new evening frocks rely to a large extent for effect on the fluffiness and beauty of their make, rather than on any additional trimming, so that crystal fobs pinned on unlikely places serve as almost the entire accessory.

Gone are the days of beaded models costing many guineas. The severity of these frocks gives place to a season of lovely fluffy creations cascading in frill after frill to the dainty wearer’s ankles.

Stockings for the new frocks still offer themselves to us In the popular shades of sunburu and russet and peach, though for afternoon wear steel grey returns as ultra-fashionable. Black suede for afternoon shoes is seen with attractive results, and evening shoes of velvet are in bright colours and boast jewelled buckles.
