PRODUCES the new colonial hoop effect, which
is attained by plaits, stitched down at the
waist and hem and open in the center. TINS
skirt which is wide to be reminiscent
of the forever gone-by crinoline, is orna-

suspender suit of imported black and
white check whipcOrd, made from foreign
model shows a blouse of black taffeta I'M
der straps of the check. A Tuxedo front
effect is given in shaded ecru embroidery,
and a last stylish touch is added by a
Windsor tie of black silk. The short,
round skirt of the plated type is banded
with black silk above the hem.
Another copy from European design Is
plated redingote of gray serge, fifty
inches in length, allowing only about four
inches of the skirt to be seen. 1t has a
surpIce front and stylish leg-o-mutton
sleeve.
One local store makes speciality of robes,
both unmade and ready to wear. walk
ing suit of white butchers linen is made
with Elton jacket and large sleeves, hand
embroidered and trimmed with fine yalen-
ciennes.-. The round-length skirt is made
with the new plated fiounce richly en-
broidered above. Their line of unmade
models show linens of every delicate tint,
white handkerchief linens, batistes and linen
lawns as dainty looking as chiffon, though
durable enough for seasons substantial
wear In many instances the skirts only
are made up, thus allowing the purchaser
the advantage of a self-ftting.
This house also exhibits attractive white
linen coats, deliberately embroidered. The
majority of them are of the loose half
length style, with surplice front and large
sleeves.
Another and eXquisitely dressy coat is of
accordion plated, natural-color pongee,
with a deep applique collar and the latest
variation of the leg-o'-mutton sleeve.
Among the models shown by local store
is walking suit of changeable chiffon taft
feta, made with blouse and fitted girdle
and the popular side-tucked skirt. Point de
Venice lace ornaments the cuffs and lower
front of the blouse and also helps to form
the yoke, which is further defined by fine
tuckS.
Another walking suit. which, like the
former, was made from a French model,
now exhibited by this firm, is of Eolien re-
seda. The blouse has a postillion back and
a simulated vest front edged with reseda
and white silk braid. The skirt has nine
cores. with shirred founces in sections.
This house also carries an attractive line
of silk petticoats in the newest shades.
Hand-embroidered coats are considered
I very dressy and suitable for most occasions,
