as preferred. Smooth-faced cloth is the
choice for dress wear, cheViOt for less
formal use. and oxford is mostly confined
TO business or to stormy days.
The smarter short wrap is an Eton or
blouse. In cloth the former takes first
place, but in velours many blouses are
shown that are fascinating in the ex-
treme. Preferably the jacket has elong-
lated fronts, but the question of revers
becomes one of choice An exceedingly
smart model rolls back, from the chin TO
the end of the fronts, and forms the
tapering sort that add so much to the
figure, while the neck is finished with a
high storm collar. In many instances the
revers are fur chinchilla. fox, or what
not, but braiding or appliques over black
or white are effective and much liked
The white foundation adds TO the ele-
ganee. and is oftener peau de sole or
satin than wool of any sort, but the black

sirable on the white. One of the most
elegant Etons yet seen is in veiours with
the revers Of cream peau de sole overlaid
with an applique of white cloth outlined
with gold thread. Another shows Pms
