GRACEFUL IN SERGE
BMART COSTUME THAT HAS
CHARM ALL ITS OWN,
For Durability, Style and Smartness It
Is Doubtful if Any Material Can Be
Made to Rival This Popu-
lar Material.
Not all the graceful frocks this fall
are bullt of silks and satin, though it
must be admitted they are generally
first choice. More than occasionally,
however, one comes across distinctly
smart costumes in prosalec serge, and
who can deny its charm?
Blue serge, which is always {n style,
is a craze this year. The woman who
has not been made happy in the poa-
segsion of one gown of it is an excep
tion. We all know of its durability,
style and smartness. Still, with all
its popularity, it does not appear in
the least common nor in any sense a
uniform, as would certainly be the
case were the color any other than
navy.
A sensible and not over
dress design for fall street
traveling is sketched for today,
