Those End-of-the-Season 
CLOTHES— 
Around about the first of August, summer clothes 
seem to undergo a mysterious change. They were so 
smart, so crisp, so satisfying just a week or two ago. 
Now there’s something wrong with every one of them 
... a bit droopy. . . a thought faded . . . don’t go to¬ 
gether, somehow. . . you haven't a thing to wear! 
It’s still too early to look for autumn clothes—you've 
months in the country yet. But it’s just the time to 
run into town, choose a length or two of shining crepe, 
of soft moire, of lovely clear-toned satin, and whisk a 
brand-new frock out of the top of a clever little paper 
envelope—a Vogue Pattern! 
Since our wardrobes don’t wear out all in the same 
spots. Vogue has chosen things for you for sport, for 
the street, for the afternoon, for the evening. And 
here they are for you on this page—your end-of-the- 
season clothes. 
The smart little pleated suit (Dress No. 0-7211; Caj^ 
No. G-7212), may be in white crepe for the country; in 
which case you’ll decide on a blouse with the less-than- 
elbow sleeves that are the alternatives for the slender, 
well-cut, full-length sleeves sketched for town. For 
town, too. you may take the model in, say, navy blue— 
for Paris is saying navy blue in every cable, and no shade 
is as becoming to the average woman. Black would be 
useful, too, and quite as chic as ever. The whole suit 
is charmingly easy to make, of course—no making to it. 
G-7204 
To make a new crepe afternoon frock with a touch 
of drapery—or to combine two worn frocks into one— 
you might try No. G-7214. If you were to leave off the 
sleeves altogether, you’d have a little dinner dress that 
you’d find ever so useful. Speaking of dinner dresses 
makes us think of No. G-7204—such a lovely graceful 
thing with its shining satin drapery and its Chantilly 
cape-back collar. You’d be simply amazed to see how 
easy it is to make—skirt in two pieces, blouse in two 
pieces, and that engaging collar in one piece, cut out of 
fourteen-inch lace—haven't you a bit on hand that would 
make it? 
Last of all, for genuine usefulness, how about a dress 
of moire? Paris continues to use it for simple frocks 
and others not so simple, and so can you. For no frock 
in the world could be simpler than No. G-7202, (all in 
one piece except the sleeves), while No. G-7213 is an ex¬ 
ample of the not-so-simple, yet quite-as-charming. Paris 
talks about tiers in both coats and dresses for this winter, 
those smart fiat tiers that moire makes so beautifully 
and keeps in place so well, tiers cut with a hint of the 
circular, just as you see them here. . . . Which gives 
you the assurance you’ve been looking for that your end- 
of-the-season clothes won’t have to go into retirement 
with the golf balls. But—Vogue Patterns never do! 
Coais and separate skirts $.65 each; 
frocks $1.00
