and is made with the most becoming
lines possible. 1t Is adapted alike
to the suit and separate coat, and Is
eminently to be desired for both. In
this instance 1t is made of mahogany
colored broadcloth with binding of
black silk braid, but, while this bind
ing is new and chic, stitched edges
are quite correct. The pointed back
is novel and desirable whenever 1t is
becoming, but the coat can be made
round at that point, and each wearer
should choose the style that suits her
the better. Sleeve length, too, is to
be determined by each wearer, both
full and three-quarter being correct.
All seasonable suitings and cloak
ings are appropriate.
The coat is made with fronts, side
fronts, backs, side-backs and under
arm cores, and is finished with regu-
latiJn collar and lapels. The sleeves
a.e made in two pieces each, with
roil-over cuffs.

Over Blouse or Jumper.

ottT DlOubc UT OuIupCEs
Each new variation of the over
blouse seems bit more attractive
than the last, and each one is certain
to find place In the wardrobe. This
one is novel in many of It's features
and is graceful and becoming, yet
by no means extreme. The modified
kimono sleeves give breadth, while
they are shapely and becoming, and
the tucks are 80 arranged as to give
the best possible lines to the figure.
AS illustrated, the material is pongee
in very beautiful shade OF anne
thyst, while the trimming Is velvet
and embroidery worked onto the ma
terial. The over blouse. however, is
appropriate for both the separate
waist and for the gown, and for
almost every material used for gar
ments of the sort. Everything fash
ionable is thin and soft and conse-
quently all can be tucked with sue
cess. Trimming always can be
varied to suit individual taste, and
the necessities of the special occa-
sion. Velvet Is being extensively
used and always is handsome, but
appliques are offered by the score,
and soutache applique is one Of the
newest and best liked of all trim
mings. In place Of the embroidery
medallions Of separate motifs could
be utilized, or the material could be
left plain.
