The fall bicycle suits are made OF
cheviot or good quality of storm
serge. Many of them are bound with
leather. For more expensive suits vel.

folk jacket with graduated straps, or
pla1ts. The straps are wide at the
top, narrowing as they near the waist
line, and then becoming broader
again over the basque. This jacket is

the newest are only about eight inches
from the ground. But for the women

a dressmaker may convince her there
is no place for a pocket in her party

its pockets-here she is beyond per-
suation.
She insists upon having five of them,
lust as a beginning, and very funny
little pockets they are. Two are close
up to her shoulders, and are hidden

coat she now has a whistle pocket.
And under the tab where the skirt

This is the largest of all. And though
she cant thrust her hands into her
pockets, like her small brother ON

The revival of the overskirt is the
latest startling announcements in the
world of fashion. Bodices no longer
monopolize the attention of the mo-
diSte Skirts are asserting themselves
the plain skirt is past, and the over
skirt, that quaint fashion of long ago,
is ready to receive fresh lonors. Just
whether it will or not is the question
of she moment.
The plain skirt has much to recon-
mend it, both to tire tail, slender
woman and her short, plump sister.
But the overskirt was never made for
a little woman, and the stout woman
of it. However, there are tall, !
willowy women, and they are sure to
welcome it.
Ears seem to be out of fashion. The |
good dame who regulates these things |
is doing her best to hide them en-
tirely from view. This seems a pity, |
FOR the average ear OF cur women is |
dainty and shell-like enough to make |
it very good to look upon. But to be
in the fashion only just a little of the /
pink rim of it is allowed to show; that
is, when the new collarettes are worn.
The latest collarette is a high stand
ing ruff of deep violet velvet, mounted
on a collar of gray squirrel fur. the
ruff is very full, and at the sides it
reaches up to the tops of the ears. AT
the back it ties in a bow with broad
projecting loops.
The fur crosses in front in tippet
fashion, but at the back it forms bow
which rests upon the velvet one.
