are m ore simulated than real. A beau
tiful blue broadcloth shows a tailor-tin
ished skirt and Elton Jacket with four
light blue satin straps, braided and
edged with gilt, turning back on the
front, having gilt button at the centre
of each strap. The sleeves have gilt
braided blue satin puff at the wrist, and
the collar is combination of cloth,
braided satin and lace, the latter match
ing the full front.
ANOTHER HANDSOME COSTUME
is of gray poplin, with a plain skirt
and two ecru Venetian lace bands at
either side of the front seam. From
these side bands come three of similar
lace extending around the skirt. The
Elton jacket is edged with lace and has
rounded revers tucked near the neck
and falling free at the outer edge, cord
ed with pale blue satin and gilt. The
blue satin 'crush belt" and collar cor
respond, and the blue tinted lace front
is over satin. Soft and elastic as kid.
and capable of being cleaned in the
laundry, it is not surprising that the
Garfield dress shields are selected by
leading dressmakers in preference to
all others, and to a reader desiring in
formation the answer can be given
that they were used for the costumes
just described. The variety of mate
rails brought out forshort skirts ensures
their continued popularity, for the
street, at least, and the larger proper
ton are reversible, and so thick that
they do not require any lining. Dotted
and embroidered flannel waists are
certainty, as hundreds of pieces of such
material are seen in all the leading
houses.
SHORT JACKETS
are both plain and deliberately orna-
latter closely braided or
with revers of chinchilla or Persian
Lamb, and satin putfs COR undersleeves)
oftentimes closely braided in gilt, are
very dressy and may be added to
plain cloth jacket. Three-quarter capes
are shown for middle-aged people in
dark colorS, but crimson will be used to
a considerable extent for evening by
young persons. Very long carriage
cloaks are in silk, and black or tan
cloth, and similar fabrics are appro-
pirate for three-quarter coats. but for
general street wear smart jacket is
the best choice. VERONA CLARKE.
