The coat costume is everywhere al
most invariably with a waistcoat or
stimulation Of one Of distinct material.
The shirt waist suit still holds its
own. and much that is fanciful in the
way Of combination OF different ma
terials and the use Of lace trimmings is
to be noted. The "draped" shirt waist,
having the fronts shirred at the center,
up to the yoke, causing draped full
ness in the lower half Of the waist,
represents the newest feature. 1t is a
pleasant fact, however, that the useful
plain tucked white linen shirt waist,
slightly bloused at the waist, to be
worn with the regulation standing
turnover linen collar and leather belt,
is an assured thing.
Authorities in the fashionable world
forecast elbow sleeves for all garments
but shirt waists. This. Of course
means the vogue Of the undersleeve
and the long glove for street wear.
