MODES OF SMART EXPERIMENTATION
On the spring editions of the pony suit
one sees some really fetching schemes Of
decoration.
Very Frenchy models are cut hip-length
lall around save in the front, where they are
short, just covering the edge Of the princess
corselet skirt. The sides hang quite loose
and are cut circular.
Band trimming largely predominates in
the embellishments employed for pony coats.
Soutache and silk braids are variousy ma
nipulated into fanciful patterns. Bands of
silk on vOiles, mohairs and summer weight
serves, especially those striped or checked,
/ show off aGvanta geously. Silk also forms
the vest, collar and cuffs and as a finish a
band of silk braid will be called into play
Gayly plated bands of silks and velvets

When there is fullness at the sides or back
as plaits, small bands are used to- hold these
together. which are not infrequently placed
rather high in front and the sides to give
the Empire of short wasted lines.
The vest does not extend to the end of the
garment On many Of the very smartest mod
els, but terminates at the top Of the girdle,
thus in another way Stimulating the graceful
Empire outline. st y 4
The sleeves are either cut elbow length or
a trifle longer, from the elbow to the middle
of forearm. OF course, these come in for
fornamentation and are moderately large .
A collar and cuffs Of baby Irish crochet in
any of the new shapes, edged with Valen--
ciennes lace, make a most dainty summer
| addition to pony suit.
A great deal of attention is given to the
back, as there is a perfectly straight sweep
| from the shoulder to the hips.
Very frequently where the back joins the
side there will be little slash about three
| or four inches long, extending along the
seams The trimming is put on so as to
form an oblong or box effect and this slight
slashing at the corners emphasizes the out
line scrolls being used at the corners or
straight band effects.
