IOOK for a slimmer silhouette, , this Fall. Coats and dresses lose much of their flare and concentrate fullness at the front. There's wide interest in side-draped effects, too. Elegance is on a quieter note with less glitter and fuss, due to troubled conditions abroad. Richness is achieved through fabric texture and design interest, rather than with elaborate trimmings. The newest idea in accessories is — match your hat and gloves, smartest of all in vividcolored suede. Gold is all important in jewelry and you'll see the Midas touch everywhere, on bags, hats, gowns, as well. Millinery's new mood is expressed in huge platter berets, worn high and handsome . . . and very flattering, too. The color question? A little early to answer that, but in addition to allimportant black, you'll see new deep shades of brown stressed and subtle, smoky greys and taupes. Velvet coat plus matching wool dress. Another important double-feature fashion for Fall! The coat of fine twill-back velveteen buttons down the front over a slickfitting dress on princess lines. Wine, green, brown, black. About $23.00 at Bloomingdale's; J. L. Hudson, Detroit; Bullocks, Los Angeles. The soft suede tie-on turban is about $3.00 at Frederick Loeser & Co., Brooklyn; Jordan Marsh Co., Boston. Stunning triangular pouch in suede, about $3.00 at The Lindner Co., Cleveland; Broadway-Hollywood. Hollywood. Topaz and gold bracelet about $1.00 at Abraham & Strauss, Brooklyn; Stern-Mann, Canton; The Boston Store, Milwaukee. FEATURE for September 1940 55
