charming styles, varied sufficiently TO meet
the demand Of the several types Of fash
ionable women whose favor makes or mars
a newly introduced mode. II may be said.
In general that the average suit avoids
exaggerated lines and strikes happy
medium, expressed either IN the new pony
coat or the new Elton. Although the lines
between the two are distinctly drawn yet
frequently the Elton approaches the short
pony length and the pony resembles in its
brevity its fashionable rival the Eton.
Then there are the loose box coat or those
OF mannish cut. which come in various
lengths and are popular alike In wooden or
linen fabrics.
The most conspicuous change in styles
Is in the long shoulder effects The skirts
10 these jaunty coats come plated, gath
cred or cut IN cores. as the material and
the general style Of the garment may re-
aulre Short lengths are finding consid-
cradle favor, more particularly with skirts
made Of linen, serge and some Of the wolfe
cuttings, although many of the dressy suits
Of silk and fancy fabrics as made by smart
Sailors and dressmakers are also short.
One must. of course. be influenced IN the
adoption Of the real short length by the
height Of the figure and the carriage, for
what would look chic or smart on one per-
Ion might prove most unbecoming to an
other. The materials accorded first place

black combinations are very popular, as

dcularly stylish.

Handkerchlefs OF the very finest linen,
