such contrasting widths and so arranged as
to be as novel as 1t Is possible for this ia

one OF the smartest gray-checked cos
tumes-an Elton coat and circular skirt
was recently seen at a luncheon. The ma
teriai was of palest gray and another sew
eral degrees darker but both pale and pref
ty. The skirt was circular and as tight as
a glove below the waist line to below the
hip line At the top of the hip line the
fullness that would otherwise have been
folds from that point was taken I'D by
spear-pointed tucks some eight inches deep,
and from quarter to an eighth of an inch
WIDE where they ended, tapering at the top
to sharp points The bottom of the skirt
was merely hemmed up to depth of five
inches. and on the outside covering the
stitching of the hem to the skirt was an
inch-wide bias band of the goods, with a
line of thick gray soutache braid at each
edge. AT intervals of sixteen inches the
band had pointed ends caught down with
large fat. gray bone buttons. At the top
of the skirt, at the center back, there was
a deeper tuck on each side that ran up to
the waist line. These turned toward each
other and had three of the bone buttons on
each, and the. center back of the Elton
Jacket was similarly finished it gave the ap-
pearance of a coat extension.
The Elton coat was rounded out at the
top. was tight fitting at the back, with
a square box effect in front. and the sleeves
were moderately wide at their tops and
much wider between elbows and wrists
where they ended. Inch-wide bias strap
pings Of the cloth finished the edges of the
body and sleeves, each edge of the strap

large. fiat bone buttons extended down the
jacket front in double breasted effect.
The hat worn was a rather large one Of
gray chip trimmed with many-shaded gray
wings on the upturned left and back
dash of color showed around the brim.
