The first, a strictly walking suit OF
black English serge, is made with full
Jared skirt and short, cutaway ccdt.
The shape OF the skirt differs In no
great degree from the winter model Of

blue and white pique, and the large
sleeves are gigot-shaped and held in place

by the way. marks all the new tailor
sleeve tops. The cutaway jacket, too, Is
offered as a rival for the longer coat,
and a younger fancy for this than the
one described Is to have the tail ripple
slightly all round.
