Late Autumn—and Your 
Country Clothes 
Autumn colours are abroad in the land—those rich, dim, dusty shades that lie between 
the reds and the browns, with here and there a note of primrose yellow or vivid 
scarlet. To be really successful, country clothes for this time of year must not only 
be warmer and longer-sleeved; they must tone into the autumn background in both 
texture and colour. Light woollen materials and lustreless crepes are appropriate. 
And all those shades of brown and beige that the mode thinks so well of are at their 
best. 
Coming as they do between summer sports clothes and clothes for really cold weather, 
some of us are of the opinion that we can get along without these good-looking 
autumn things—just a bit extravagant, don’t j^ou think? 
But not if we find them in an envelope and produce them full-grown for a negligible 
dollar or so, in the way Vogue makes possible for its best friends. Here’s an idea of 
what we mean—sketched on this page. And ev'ery exhibit in the little collection has 
been chosen, not only for its smartness and its appropriateness but also for its sim¬ 
plicity of construction. 
Who wouldn’t feel good for a hike, or a game of golf, in a little tub flannel blouse 
with well-cut long sleeves that don’t bind anywhere, and a sports collar like the one 
shown in No. H 7335? See how the sleeve-frill carries out the collar idea; notice the gay 
ribbons at throat and wrist. No. H 7334 is a bit different, but no less appropriate. 
Blouse No. H 7334 
Price $ .63 
The cross-stitch design is No. H 564—a chance for a bit 
of colour—and if you don’t make the blouse in bright 
soft silk crepe, you might try silk alpaca or silk broad¬ 
cloth. The first blouse, as you’ve no doubt divined, is 
easier for the figure that hasn’t completely subdued 
its curves. 
Pleats, as one sees from No. H 7339, haven’t by any 
means left the mode, even though these |)articular jDleats 
are in front only—much the least expensive place to 
have them, by the way. The scarf collar with Design 
No. H 580 embroidered on the ends of it may be dis¬ 
pensed with if one’s taste turns to severity in tub flannel 
or serge rather than to a softer effect in wool crepe. 
A one-piece dress of good-looking rough woollen material 
is a real inv^estment—a dress that needs no trimming 
but collars and cuffs. Such a design as No. H 7226 
might be made in soft shades of brown, with collar 
and cuffs of natural-coloured linen—or beige crepe de 
chine—with the hems turned over on the right side. 
And of course you need one of those smart woolly 
coats—straight line, long or three-quarters, big as to 
cuffs, enveloping as to collar. And could it look 
better than Nd. H 7267? If you have a bit of badger 
fur, you can dispense with the collar in its dis¬ 
tinguished favour. And if you jwefer a shorter coat, 
you can leave off the bottom section. You have no 
idea, by the way, how easy such a coat is to make— 
just a few long seams.
