Fashion’s MARTIAL MOMENTS & mm ■ tT!£i m mmmm 7^ • - 111 iiiii fiiiiiiliil v.« .......j ■ wmmm % i SAW w'Qaßs Bwlaf fbwvfcSS Even 'politics bring an influence to bear on the progressions of fashion, for the savour of many of the models advanced for Autumn-wear is distinctly military. The Brunswick fur cape, inspired by the Cossack cloak, is remarkably becoming and effective, carried out in grey astrakhan, a novel feature being the waistcoat and, revers. Although originally made in fur, this style would be equally effective in any dark coloured woollen material ■worn over a contrasting frock with hat to match. The hat shown in the photograph is a new idea in halos, giving a square effect. Reminiscent of the Napoleonic era, the coat on the right is of pale -woollen material with detachable cape, fastening with “ daisy ” buttons, the latter also appearing on the belt. Note the novel cut of the sleeves and the stitching on tile coat. Lower left shows a topcoat in dark brown, fastening in military style with cire buttons and cords. A high-crowned shovel-shaped felt hat is relieved with a touch of cire to match. ■ For cocktail time, the lady on the lower right wears a frock of deep blue velvet. A -martial air is obtained from the “ frogs ”of silver braid, fastening a short hasqued bodice. The very up~ to-date sleeves are nothing more or less than the old-time leg-of-mutton—becoming -popular once more.
