t4w VOLUMIE XXXI. LAURENS, SOUTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAVY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1915. NMLR1 IH 'FROK MU New York, Sept. 27.-Winter fash ions have been fully settlqd u)on and it is gratifying to say that for many a scason, if ever, they have not been as attractive as they are this year. Thire is a changing variety. Fabiles are rich both .in (uality and coldring, trimmings are artistic, and designs are simplicity itself. Trininig Notes. The simple serge and gabardine frocks, so much favored for all day time occasions, are trimmed effective ly with braid, designs in soutache, Her cules, and novelty braidings; but the touches that render them distinctive are the curious color notes that are be ing introduced for contrast on many of the smart new French models. Pink silk embroidery is often seen on frocks of dark blue serge, and a dull reseda wool embroidery is unus ually smart on dark blue; this wool embroidery is one of the new notions of the winter; it appears on collars, cuffs, girdles, and trimming bands of frocks, coats, and blouses. Heavy wool Braid Trimmed Check Costumlle. worked out fin a rib effect to imitate wide Hercules -braid, Is a detail of many of the Imported serge and ga bardine dresses. The various con ventionalized soutache patterns on a foundation of net or chiffon, often edged with a band of a flat silk braid or an edge of fur, Is much In Ivogoup for rimmin 'Ie moec desy f.k twide reaid, isaeresta-o baie dressns, he vuarius elonTh vetini soutache igsatrn faoned foundaon ofnet chffots n, frte edged bwth ao bandch a fatrsiof brai mr tiangth Prine dressy Theowkde theaIde aidsten usedlforlan etrc tive deogs yake olauhkr; a veifor ffys, anl hesin bandl forlare hlf belt sonc ao featur of the clthar pdrelse cs (rs. h .' raid pae otenrsead fokners. r cufAnthe gani ha cmn detlar of these (lark ('1011 dresses is th'e teol la r. \i any of t he plain ibingote0 serge gown s are made wvith sIngle or' doub 1)0(ap 1collarin s.

The neckline of thle dress Is usually rounded in an old tashioned curve ald flliished with a straight. band of the material. At one of the fall openings inl Pa Iris a chiffon afternoon frock was trimmed with wide,' heavy Hercules braid; fol lowing this idea comes a frock of serge trimmed with soutachod chiffon. Interesting Buttons. Ar mg the button novelties, both for service and for trimming purposes, there is a large gold button, pattern ed after the plain, four holed porcelain underwear button; another is an acorn button of brilliants. Colored Faeings. SkIrts are being trimmed consider ably this winter; and there is a mark Cd use of velvet and cloth, combined, and of velvet and chiffon, and velvet and faille. Many of the skirts a-re banded with velvet, wide and narrow. Some of the prettiest and smartest no tions along this ilne are the contrast ing facings. Eiarly last spring, Paquin introduced the idea of a chic little af ternoon dress of dark blue taffeta; it Is now being applied to serve and cloth frocks. Many of the strictly tail ored dresses of sorge. gabardine, or broadeloth, Show these bright colored facings; the facing generally collies down and finishes the lower edge of the skirt with it niarrow piping of the color. 1hlue gowns are faced with rose, red, old gold, and black velvet; the ef fect is wonderfully attractive aild har llonizes.
