"THE GREATEST PRACTICAL JOKER IN THE WORLD." says Mr. Dooley " is th' fellow that invints th' new styles that dhrapes th' charms iv th' ladies." But "th'feUoir "is now oft" to the war. Worth, Polret, and other French designers are in the fighting-line. The new fashions in Costumes and Gowns are really the last fruits of the Frenchmen's genius as n dress artist. Many of the handsome garments shown at "The Farmers'' owe their smartness, however, to the clever work of London's leading designers. All the new modes at " The Farmers" are very charming, and the discriminating woman, who desires in dress only what is individual and becoming, will be delighted with the Exquisite Collection of Suits and Gowns now exhibited in our Showroom. STYLES IN MILLINERY MILITARY Of course, it was expected - that the war would affect F<« IN ,e Autumn shapes. And 01 i lu in tbe expectcd has happened. Mil fIN FRY Designers have modelled iviiL,i-.ii\*-.r\ i exceedingly chic chapeaux on the lines of ihe Allied Soldiers' headgear. Very smart are the Tricornes, Kepis, Turbans, and Cossack Caps. But the woman who must have a large hat will mid 4 her wish in a range of handsome Canotier shapes. Velvet is the prime favourite this season. Lurid colours are taboo. One cannot go wrong in choosing Black, Black-ana-White, Niggerhead, or such subdued shades as Beetroot, Seaweed Brown, Hunter's Green or Royal-Blue. But a much better idea of what should be worn will be gained by inspecti gour Lovely Show of Autumn Millinery. It reflects the choicest modes of the moment.
