sorts of weather.
A number OF Norfolk Jackets are to
be seen, especially when made as part
of costume, but the new models are
much shorter than those used some
years ago, indeed, many ofSthem have
the features of the Elton to some ex-
tent coming only to the waistline,
and the simulated belt, which, by the
way, is rather broad, having also
hint of the Empire modes, is quite
two inches above the belt line. Self
strappings over the shoulders are the
main features of trimming, the sleeves,
being very plain which with the fat
collarless fronts depends on the ma
chine stitching for decoration.
The modistes who have returned
from abroad and are ready to talk, say
thumbs down on the circular skirt.
If your new skirt is to be worn in
the house alone, then very well, but
for street wear, runabout, or travel
ing, the skirt whose cores cause per-
feet fitting about the hips and whose
tucks and plaits give the desired full
finish at the foot are in evidence. And
this is saving of strength and wor-
ry, for, no matter how stylish the cir
cular skirt, it's sagging sides soon
persisted in giving it a bedraggled APP
pearance and in winter we know how
much more comfortable is the short
plated skirt.
Dark chiffon mohair was used for
one very stylish tucked skirt. Five
cores were used for the smooth 1T
ting and graduated tucks, that were
taken up in the upper part and were
stitched to a becoming yoke Depth
while an inverted box plat was ar
ranged at the back, and the tucks We're
allowed to fall free below the stitch
ing. Bands with the ends turning up
ward in points at the center of the
front and at each side formed pleas
| ing foot finish. This mode is par
ticularly adapted to the new goods,
| the invisible checks English worsteds,
| tweeds and the panamas, as well as
the lighter goods such as voiles, chif-
fons, mohairs, silks, etc.
The inserted plated section also is
| liked and makes a stylish skirt that
falls with much grace. Seven cores
are used in it's construction and
plated section is let in at each of
the side seams. The plated section
is much narrower at the top than at
the bottom, laid in two plaits facing
each other and held in place by stitch
ing, the seams being stitched
at each side of the front
thus giving the appearance OF
| another plait The plaits fall
! free from fiounce depth at each side
of the front and each succeeding group
is in greater depth. An inverted box
plated arrangement is at the back
A charming design for some soft
| clinging material which falls SO grace
| fully, consists of a five-gored upper
! part which is tucked or gathered al
J the top according to its becomingness
to the figure, and is heightened by a
tuck straight f1ounce set in without a
/ heading. Chiffon taffeta, null, organ
| dy, Hessaline, muslin, etc, are very
4 suitable for such skirts and one made
from chiffon taffeta would be very
| suitable for wear with different
| blouses.
Il "A note that appears to considerable
extent are revers, very broad and
sharp, and the most of them are elab-
orately trimmed with lace braid, en-
broidery, but especially with braid A

down the back where they give pc
euliar postillion effect, passing under
a belt. When the revers are plain the
waist is otherwise extremely plain. Ir
the coats having shoulder revers of the
same material the garment is very
plain and opens over handsome yes

A number seen at a motor meet tn,

for street wair, are trimmed witt
