and nothing can give the waist such
smart air.
The dog collar OF mixed colored
stones Is not the most becoming
thing in the world unless arranged
With much taste. but on all of pori-
dots with a few diamonds or white
sapphires looks we'll with a gown OF
white embroidered with green. and
an acquamarine collar is also becom-
ing to blue-eyed fair woman.
Darker stones. like the amethists.
are too heavy. but pink topaz Is
pretty.
The new three-piece suit models
are not by any means confined to
the eton coat. shirt waist and skirt
combination of past seasons. Tho
latest effects show the cutaways and
blazer coats. the jumper suits made
as deliberately or as simply as may
be desired, and the plated skirt
aIthouh Paris advices suggests the
circular skirt.
I'm the blazer design the material
is cut away abruptly at the bust.
where IL fastens with a single hut
ton' frog. or ornamental motif OF
some sort. and takes on from there
sharp slant line to. an extreme
poiny back. The cutaway Is like
wise OF an extreme type. This mod
ell has a blazer front, fastened with
three buttons. and gradual curve
from a point below the bust to a
rounded point in the back, and Is
strictly tailored in effect. having the
long coat sleeves. revers. and coat
collar, fabric covered buttons. and
machine stitching.
Another example of the new cut
away shows the extended shoulder
line emphasized by means of an
overlapping plat, which ends in a
dart, and then in the side seam, and
also is given a shortwaisted effect
In the back. The cutaway line ap-
pears more marked because of an
outline OF velvet. which may be OF
the same width. entirely around the
coat or it may expand into a vest
from the waist line up.
Elton and blouse models, notwith-
standing, those newer blazer and
cutaway designs, are to be largely
represented but chiefly among more
pretentious costumes. Then, too,
there is a new treatment given to
the blouse which Is bound TO give IT
strong precedence over that which
IL has had OF recent years. It's chief
feature lies in the fact that while
ordinarily the waist and coat are
one. 1t has every appearance OF be-
ing in two pieces. This is accom-
plished by the Introduction of vest
and sleeves OF different material, lace
null. silk. with only a band of the
suit material as cuff to mark its
connection with the suit proper.
The three-piece suit by all odds,
Is the most practical for this time Of
the year. the between season, as the
coat will be necessary on occasions

bodice which accompanies Il. Mate
rails for the three-piece suit are nat
urally OF the lighter weight fabrics
than for the coat and skirt suit.
Besides the wool voiles, CLEANLINESS
and fancy suitings which are al
ways in vogue with broadcloth for
spring wear, there Is a new material
particularly we'll adapted for the be-
tween season costume. and which is
hnding no end OF favor across the
water. 1t Is drap crepe. with gran
ite-like surface and rather loose
weave. II is employed equally for
dressy house wear and for simple
street wear. Oftener than not Il Is
made over foundation OF some col
or OF harmonious shade. and over
the plated effects which are again
popular. II comes in all the leading
colors
