Show K$ KeitK-0,R.fiQiv C.Q. if) - HOSE WHO have been looking for- ward to these first September days V"y for the 'something new" that Au-tumii Au-tumii always promises, will be rieh---x4 ly rewarded this year. Colors ev-.JjMI ev-.JjMI erywhere have taken on a deeper, r riper hue, as befits the season. The over-welcome blues are rivaled by warm purples and red plum shinies. A so it. note of color harmony prevails in all costumes for day-time wear. At the very first a word about fabrics. For the woman who dresses with an eye to individuality there is a strong appeal in the splendid silks and sumptuous wool fabrics that drape themselves so exquisitely, and are so readily adapted to her own ideas of becom-iugness. becom-iugness. It' yon ask Ihe Silk Chit'f what is to hp the ''host shade" this winter, hp will unfold from their wrappings holts of heavy silks, in colors plowing with warmth like ripened fruit. The Burgundy shades, they are called. Taupe Gray and Blues from Belgian to Midnight, are still quite as well liked, however. - There is a new satin called "Satin Luxury," and an-other an-other called "Satin France," which come in very wide pieces, and are priced at from $2.50 to $3 a yard, in spite of the war. Silk Faille and Gros des Londres, with their reputa- lion for excellent service, are in de- 'sSLSv maud for davtime frocks of all or- ''''X ders- Atev Bolivia Cloth, which enjoys the. dis- tf&j.rt Vj tinction of being the newest of all ll'j'y things new, is to bo used for suits as . well as for coats; while Chiffon Vel- Ij vet (width 40 inches, and priced at from $4.50 to $S) will go to make the suits and gowns that, are so lovely for formal and semi-formal occasions. And just as a reminder that the separate skirt is still in the dey-dey of its vogue, the Keith-O'Brien Tailoring Department, which has been so tremendously successful in meeting the demands of the tailored-to-measure woman, is making skirts to order out of Keith-O'Brien material for $2.50. While there is a Hickson the American woman will remain loyal to the Tailored Suit; yet there is not. one among them who -does not inwardly or outwardly vow to possess at least one of the serge frocks that have appeared in such wonderful variety this fall. Quantities of them are made 'all of Midnight Blue, but the endless styles in which they come, and the countless touches of individuality in their making, have rendered them well-nigh well-nigh irresistible. Combinations of serge and satin, or of serge and Georgetete crepe, are embellished with bits of 1 wool embroidery, or with opaque beads in soft colors. These Fall frocks are being worn with furs or without, with-out, them at this season. Later on Milady adds a separate sep-arate coat for warmth, and, no doubt, for looks, too. -; As to these" same coats, thy are more widely flaring than ever before. Some are belted, but many seem to have been designed to put a touchstone to the tailors' art, for they are contrived to make all women look slender. Of course, Bolivia Cloth takes the lead as a coat mate- rial, but there are wool velours and plushes, too. Furs as trimmings are more lavishly used everywhere than we had thought possible, while fur collars, capes and muffs are fascinating in their unexpectedness of cut, and their quaintness withal. b I lie indispensable tailored two- 2 piece suit, which demands a degree of fA correctness of style which none may gainsay, is exemplified in a dozen trim auc' tr'" mot'es' .which are adaptations j Vv. from Hickson. These will be exhibit- v I 1 I ed on Tuesday, quite informally. They MHJjJ- are so worthwhile, and embody so J) much that is new and delightful that hope to show them to every woman 4 in Salt Lake City, and. therefore, I shall save the space here to talk of other things. Paris, say those who know, demands the unbroken lines of the figure. Therefore, in speaking of waists I must say a word about the new blouses, which come in tones to match the suits and are trimmed, almost one, and all, with beads of some kind. They are of taupe, blue, purple, Burgundy all to give to the coat-and-skirt suit the appearance of completeness that is demanded. As to hats they know no law. There are high, narrow crowns and draped and fulled tam-o'-shanter crowns, both eoually cor-rect cor-rect and desirable. Brims are wide and fiat, or wide ana drooping, ' or they may rear abruptly in front or at the side, so as to a'ston-ish a'ston-ish everyone, lint puzzle' no one. for their appearance of chic is undeniable. Poke bonnets of narrow- dimensions and a much , shortened poke, which is designated as the "Jockey" shape, will vie with the fitted turban for popularity with thoe'who like small N hats. By the way. one of the "last words'' is the Jong chiffon veil to be worn with the small chapeau. Jt reaches quite to the hem of madamo's skirt, if you please, be that hem near the floor or far therefrom. One of the newest trimmings is the Burnt -C Peacock feather, black as a cinder, but curled ly and graceful, nevertheless Silver and gold mo- ' tifs, such as birds, roses and other flowers, are V g'(j made to fasten close to the hat. As a whole, X this year is to be a colorful one for hals. Purple, '"N 1 . wine ?hade9, coral, taupe and gray aie some of f the tints that will gain favor as the season Os. goes on. Ox Quite as usunl, there is much to inlfr't one ! K in the new- jewelry. 1'iiigree beads in gold and J , silver combine with pearls and other gems to M. i. make wonderfully effective necklaces, ear pen- O dants and what not. Rings of silver have fol- .'Pv. lowed the vogue for platinum rings, naturally Vj,)) enough, and there arc some truly remarkable de- , signs in onyx, iade, pear and the like. Very lovely things may be obtained at a se::ill cost, which will add a much-to-be-oesired note to manv n co;ti:nie. Mesh bags of silver and Prairie gold bid for favor in new-shapes, new-shapes, while silk and velvet begs, tricked out in beads of steel and let, are very much liked. Tailored purses of leather, envelope '--in shape, have bedecked themselves with trimmings of colored enamel and so won renewed popularity, if indeed their usefulness were not reason enough. "Silk hose to match the suit or gown" is still the dictum for the well-dressed woman. Long vamps and heels gracefully curved finish madamo's shoes. All white boots, both buttrmed and laced, hold tenaciously to their place in her wardrobe. Vamps of black kid, with a shoe of battleship gray or field-mouse brown, or shoes altogether of grav or brown, may be depended upon to harmonize with a tail- , ored suit. For practical women there is the good news that shoes of all-black all-black are to be quite as smart as any other kind, and that spaia of white, fawn color or gray will be worn. These are only an inkling of the new things that will he B hrojght. forth for Salt Lake's Fashion Show and the Festival of the Salt Princess, wiiici; is tu 1' celebrated in ali of the stores September 11, 1 and 13. |
