Of Interest to Women

tions-is twisted into all sorts of pat
terms and designs. Watch springs,
coils, undulating ropes, lattices, etc,
are SO fashioned, and very effective
trimming they make at but small ex-
penditure Of time or money.
Some attractive models of the plain
er types of suits show jackets which
are made of contrasting material to
the skirt. the only thing that connects
the two being collars and cuffs of the
skirt material added to the coat.
With one particularly stunning
walking suit even that connection
very evidently belonged together.
The skirt was of striped material,
so deity made that it seemed like a
plain cloth until you got close to 1t.
And the way it was cut brought the
/ stripes together directly in front into
sharp diagonal lines. The Jacket was
of plain cloth, exactly the same color
as the striped stuff, and the velvet
collar repeated the color note-only
more insistently-of the stripe itself.
For such coats the regulation coat
sleeve is used almost entirely, us
ually with some sort OF trim little
cuff
In length, most of them are about
hip length, and they are fitted close
ly-either double or single breasted
or are semi-fitting. The loose coat,
for such purposes, is very seldom seen
except upon the very young girl.
A great many cashmere effects are
seen in the new clOths-rich dark
Scotch colorings and irregular weaves.
Some of these have self-toned raised
figures; others are in dull rich colors
On a few wolfe house dresses elbow
sleeves are seen. but oftener the short
sieve of wolfe is eked out with deep
cuff of lace.
Touches of black are upon almost
all sof them, usually black velvet.
Velvet, for that matter, promises to be
, as popular as it was last winter, and
that Is saying a great deal, for last
winter saw velvets at the heikht of
their popularity.
| AS to crepe de chene, it-even in
its palest tints or Whites an eco
nomical investment for the woman
whose house gowns have to do duty
over several seasons, for it cleans
and washes and dyes as practically
no othher silk does, and lends itself
to all the wonderful dressings and
shirrings that everybody affects these
| days of pliable materials.
1 AS for plaids-though we are told
!! 1t is to be strong plaid season-it
Is we'll to have it forced home that
this does not mean garish and in-
possible mixture of reds, blues. yell
lows and greens put on in enormous
squares. Such plaids may look we'll
on the doughty Highlander" or the
small American grille under dozen
years, but have never been appro-
pirate for a grown woman for street
wear even when in fashion. This
year, fortunately, in our desire to
avoid extremes even the plaids are
Enthusiastically invisible, but with
a lovely undertone and unexpected
bright dashes to give them character.
Often the plain ones are trimmed
with bands of embroidery, done in
I silks of exactly the same tone as the
material, or in Persian colors, their
barbaric tones softened to the quiet
set of tints, yet preserving their char
acter wonderfully. AS often as with
the foulards that Paris have made
such fascinating house gowns Of
plain and embroidered voiles are
combined, with the prettiest OF re-
sults-the combination, in some mys-
FERROUS way, not interfering at all
with the scheme of trimming.
