One Of the smartest and perkiest Of the
cloth models for carriage wear on cool
days will be worn by one Of the recent
brides. and 1t II to be hoped she won't finish
1t abroad. where she Is. 1t is one Of the
new blues in chiffon broadcloth. The skirt
touches all around. and an odd, curious
effect Is produced at the hip line by the ma
terial at the sides being raised in tiny, ir-
regular folds-not lengthwlse. but around
the figure. These are. Of course, securely
fastened to firm under section, fitted
smoothly to the figure, and they end In
the back under a triple boxplait. eight
inches wide. OF the material. They also be-
gin each side OF the front under long row
Of blue crochet cabochons, set closely to-
gether and beginning twelve inches below
the waist line. These cabochons, or but
tons. are eight inches apart. and at the bot
tom of each row the material is so cut and
draped to form a scant boXplait. The
tight-fitting little coat Is a bolero of the
cloth, ending some seven inches above the
waist line over q folded girdle Of liberty
satin Of slightly deeper coloring. The back
Is formed of one piece. and Is perfectly
plain. A bias fold of the cloth Is set to
the roundabout top of the jacket to form
a collar. and while this fits smoothly
around the back and over the shoulders it
begins to fall in fold effects above the bust
line, and at the bust line II crosses in sur
plice effect. the ends narrowing down and
disappearing under the loose sides of the
Jacket. Each jacket front forms sharp
V, with a turquoise, rhinestone and silver
cabochon an inch from it's point. V of
the cloth is also set on the center front of
the satin girdle the point ending an inch
above the waist line-the girdle itself ex-
tending three inches below the waist line
in a deep point at the frOnt-and this cloth
point was also caught with a turquoise ca
bochon.
The crossing ends of the collar conceal
the top of this v In the opening above
the crossing collar-the upper part being
cut away to permit it's a vest. some
eight inches wide, of white satin striped
with fancy black silk braid. The braid Is
put on to form succession of VS. the
white showing in strips between and being
bit narrower than the braid. This vest
had a little inch-wide turnover collar to
match. with the stripes running in the op-
posite direction. The sleeves are wide puffs
plated in at the tops, standing out two
inches above the elbows, and having wide
turned-back cuffs of the cloth with seal
loped edges. From under these sleeves
extend almost straight sections of the cloth
that are sashed up every two inches, each
having a cabochon at the outside. These
slashed sections extend to the elbow. The
underblouse has Valenciennes lace ruffies
to the sleeves that show below the elbows
and Valenciennes yoke and stock, with
a bat-wnged blue satin bow as a finish
to the front of the stock. A blue crinoine
hat to go with it has fold of blue ribbon
around the crown, smart bow at the
right. and is rolled in somewhat exagger-
ated fashion at the left, where a bow Of
blue conceals the end of a long and stiff
black wing that scars far out beyond and
above the turned-up brim. Long black
suede gloves and a black coque scarf boa
accompany this toilette. The edges of the
collar and other smooth sections are fin
ished with a line of blue soutache braid.
There is also to go with this a draped cape
of the cloth, and this comes well below
the waist line in the center front and back.

wrists. 1t has a collar of white satin
striped with black braid, and the cape is
lined with white satin.
