Readers see a wide array of autumn millinery with beret turbans in blue velvet and gray, Cossack and olive shapes, oversized lace bows, chenille embroidered flowers, metallic floral accents, clipped ostrich trims, and tailored jockey cap inspired turbans. Practical clipped ostrich trims resist rain, while velvet berets and duvetyn blends define chic everyday wear.
The piece describes a distinctive hat with a right angled crown bend and a wing tip extending from the left, praised in Paris and copied in pistache green, tan and white. It also mentions white matinee turbans of beaver velvet or duvetyn, decorated with pastel chenille flowers.
The article notes Baby ABY always has towels marked with his initials or the word baby. It recommends using very soft linen towels, preferably new damask, laundered before use, and large enough for wrapping the baby after a bath. Embroidered linen towels with Kate Greenaway motifs and small animal designs are suggested for an autumn layette.
The article notes a switch from green and brown beaver felt sport hats at country clubs in September and October to a pearl gray hat this fall. Variants include elephant's breath gray and very pale gray with self toned ribbon, while the new beaver felt crown rises slightly above the ribbon and the brim tilts in a mushroom line for autumn wear.
A fashion note describes a navy serge frock updated with a ruffly white collar and a long vestee. The look features a downturned hip line, tight sleeves, and matching cuffs with organdy or net lace neckwear. Accessories include a pearl gray felt hat and gray suede pumps for a chic, feminine ensemble.
A well equipped writing table suits a formal living room even for quick notes and messages. A Sheraton table with blotter inkwell stationery box and red leather stamp box harmonizes with a period chair and a scrap basket to finish the refined corner.
The piece notes the return of long elbow gloves amid high prices and suggests tailoring sleeves to fit snugly at the wrist to avoid pricey glove use. It emphasizes fashion’s demand for forearm coverage with wraps and wide sleeves, urging tighter sleeves to dodge expensive gloves.
Readers are treated to a detailed tour of autumn sweater styles. Embroidered knits in woven fabrics and silk filet crochet designs lead the trends, with suggestions for colors, closures, and wearability from house dresses to outdoor sports.
