The article surveys dainty bonnets for girls with lace, ribbon, and linen hats, plus a Paris-inspired fall wardrobe for young women. It describes hat styles from lace trimmed peke bonnets to linen sunhats, and outlines coordinating dresses, coats, and accessories in striped serge, cheviot, and voile with details on trims, collars, and buttons.
The article previews athletic women’s fashion with new sweaters coats and walking skirts in denim and tweed. It notes khaki skirts with large pockets, blue denim riding options, circular mixed tweed skirts for golf, and tailored linen or pongee shirtwaists. Accessories include braids, leather stocks, and gold riding sticks.
Paris authorities name the coming colors for hats and millinery. Prominent tones include violet, lavender, royal purple, ecru, bronze, blues like parrot and navy, and grays in combinations of black and white. Feather use declines due to slaughter concerns, with ostrich plumes fading from display.
Paris fashion writers note the season favors cloche styles and broad brimmed hats in felt velvet and fur with plumes and wings. Black velvet remains dominant in evening gowns and accessories while outfits lean toward black white contrasts and simple lines.
Autumn footwear columns present new advance styles for day wear. Prominent leathers include full calf and Russian, with patent leather combined with cloth or kid uppers. Heels cap at about 1% inches, vamps are mostly short, toes trend long and French, and tops run high and slanted with a longer front.
The text warns that both overly tight and overly loose shoes cause foot problems including bunions and arch flattening. It suggests women with unusual foot shapes should opt for slightly too long rather than too wide shoes, considering it the lesser evil.
