end of the finger tips when the arm
hangs looseIS at the side. OF course
this is only the rule for the skirt coat
suits. When it comes to the dressy
silk coats for reception or evening
wear, the length corresponds to the
wrist when the arm is held in the same
position as before. And for these
coats Deau de sole will be decidedly
more smart than the shiny taffetas
which have been fashionable during
the summer"
Plain broadcloth will not be tabooed,
however, as trimming. Indeed,
plain cloths will be a feature of win
ter dress garniture, and cut cloths, APP
pliques and edgings will be largely
used on the more elaborate reception
dresses.
Cuffs and collar of plain cloth do
much TO prevent monotony in a tail
ored suit. An extremely pretty one
is of Blarney tweed in a pepper and
salt mixture, and is made after
Wooltex design. The skirt is in walk
ing length and has strapped seams,
while many rows of stitching give a
finish at the foot. The three-quarter
length coat has a two and a half inch
belt of the material at the hiD 1t
stops, however, at the front dart, thus
accentuating the extreme straight

The coat is single breasted and is
fastened by a single row of buttons
covered with brown broadcloth, the
last coming at the point where the
belt, if continued, would have met in
the front. A pointed yoke collar and
fiaring cavalier cuffs of the same
broadcloth, heavily braided in black,
relieve the costume from the reproach
of too great plainness. The yoke col
lar is cut out in a slight V in the
front, so as to give a glimpse of the
smart shirt-waist stock beneath.
The odd shaped cuffs which appear
on this suit are feature of the fall
costumes. Many of the most mannish
tailored suits have them, and their
shape is never twice alike. They are
curved and pointed. Some are longer
on the inner arm seam, some on the
outer. They may taper to an inch in
width, and then extend almost to the
elbow Most of them flare sligntly to
receive the fulness of the lower sleeve
puff and when they are extra long
they flare at the wrist also. They are
often cut into odd shapes, overlapping
bands, and all manner of eCcentrici-
ties.
But the cuffs are about the only &C.
centric features of the new suits. The
collars, for the most part, are extreme
| ~ moderate in size and design. These
modest turnovers may be of velvet,
or OF cloth of the same or a contrast
ing shade. A brown cheviot hecked
with dull red has turnover collar and
I high cuffs of the latter shade. The
effect is warm and bright.
The sleeves are built mostly after
one model The effort 20 have them
pun at the shoulders seems 10 have
been abandoned for the present. The
puns come farther down. just above
the haring cum. Above the elbow they
are only comfortably loose.
