THE CHIFFON VOGUE

NEW WEIGHT AND IMPORTANCE FOR WINTER A. good season is predicted for wliat might be called fancy chiffon this winter. That is to say, chiffons showing both printed and metal designs, or chiffons with raised velvet motif. These can be used exactly as printed chiffon has been used this summer, but the addition of the second motif in another material gives them just that weight and importance | that is appropriate to a winter even- | ing mode. The chiffon lames are also interesting. These are almost as supple as . a real chiffon, composed of metal | threads one way, and silk the other, ! with printed designs, often done on | the reverse side, so that the design ! is very soft and Indistinct. 1 All the collections, however, include j new designs in ordinary printed chif- : fon, showing that they are prepared for a continuation of this apparently j endless vogue. It is noticeable that | the grounds are usually dark for winter AUTUMN SHOES Above all things, shoes this autumn must be youthful. Their lines must be slender, their cut must be gay, their colours must be as warm as frost-touched leaves. With great ingenuity, shoes are fashioned that are simple in their lines and interesting in detail. Straps slant over the instep at becoming angles. Buckles add a tailored touch to walking shoes. As for colours —there are leafy browns, the coppery tans, and deep greens. Sometimes a lovely blue, a purple or a dusky red, joins the woodsy hues. These new autumn designs trip along in well-nigli endless variety. But this they have in common —from the crispest street shoe to the most frivolous evening slipper—youthfulness—and the ability to mould the foot on proud and delicate lines.
