to the richness Of the whole.
In the very best of the tailormades the
skirts are comparatively untrimmed-that

elaboration that is Iavished upon the coat
The consciousness Of an irreproaehable
cut and hang is supposed to atone for the
lack of trimming. and the full rich folds
assuredly are more stately when allowed
to lie untrimmed. Managed so. there is
nothing to distract the eye from the har-
mony Of line that they are supposed to
present. When the extreme OF fashionable
cut is followed, that which employs some
8 or 10 yards OF fitness at IL foot, some
of the best tailors employ a bias footband,
this with stiffened interlining; and IN
this way the fitness at the foot shows no
sign Of sagging in with the weight of ma
