scallops of panne stitched upon either
edge with white silk and the entire
skirt falls over detachable drop skirt

The Jacket Is n tight fitting affair
and extends below the waist at the
back in two short tails cut off quite
square and stitched with white silk.
At the front there are double reveres
of black and gold embroidered panne
opening over a vest of yellow-white
chiffon embroidered in black. The
sleeves are of Paquin design, with cuffs
OF black liberty satin gathered upon
bands of black and gold embroidered
panne.
A word about the detachable drop
skirt Is not amiss here. This is so ar
ranged that it can be removed from
the wastband of the skirt with very
little trouble and substituted with any
lining that suits the fancy OF the
wearer. Many women of fashion are
having separate Innings made with a
vew to matching the trimmings OF
their gowns and these are substituted
for the original foundation wherever
desired
Separate waists increase in elegance
as the season advances and one Is be-
wildered by the beauty of the flannel,
silk, satin, velvet and mousseline de-
signs. The latter trimmed elabora tely
with hand work of every description
and lace, will be the Smartest thinr
all through the fall and winter. Some
