dered. The skirt clasps the hips, and
this is one of the most severe Of the
directoire walking suits. You cannot
see the tails of the coat when you
directly face the wearer. But Betsy
Brownface looks fine 1t it. She is
slim and trim, and as straight as a
colonel. Chin up, shoulders back; no
sword or musket, but cane If she
likes. She looks then not like a sol
der but like an incrcyable, enc of
the famous tops OF France in the d.

on Fifth-ave. II has big sapphire
set in the handle. | know one girl
who said she'll use her jewelled bill

On the suit OF dark blue cloth (see

satin and on each is embroidered 4
plumpy cockatoo. On other suits, say
apple green with Nilegreen revers,
the points of which reach beyond thu
shoulders, there are also tropical
birds and tropical flowers embroidered
with silk The tails OF the coat are
turned back with pale green revers OF
the same color and shape, and birds
are embroidered on each.

The first thing the Summer girl will
ask, What are the neT colors?' Ca
tawba, wistaria, eggplant and donkey
gray is the answer AS usual. the
majority of the new Golors have edi-
bic lanes. They always call in the
French chefs for the christening.
And the sweet Summer girl, how she
laughs and dimples when she sees
some CT the new Fall suits from Paris!
All the suits she likes best are mill
tary in character. Take the 5uit Of
soft, but bright, sky-blue broadcloth
figure Al See the big buttons. Each
has a sapphire in the center Many
OF the buttons on the new Fall suits
are very valuable. Some are set with
semi-precious stones. The importers
fairly tore out their hair when they
heard that these buttons had TO come
In under the head of iewelry. When
mother and the girls come home from
Paris their new suits In the trunks are,
however, buttonless. Buttons. but
tons-who has the buttons?" IL the lat
est game at the customs house Mother
has the buttons, but who is the man
who dares say where? Some OF the
new buttons are really mussel shells

we must hurry back % the blue suit.
But buttons are awfully fascinating.
We had 10 stop and discuss them a

to talk about the styles. Sequence, a.

are really Of great importance, much
like the punctuation marks in n poem.
or. as Cholly says. In your great aunt's
will.
On this blue suit the buttons are
military. Then. just see the, slit on
this central gown Narrow velvet rib

braid is on a soldiers uniform, as one
sees II in old French pictures. Where
the skirt folds back the facing is

took Chollie along the day Betsy
Brownface asked me to go with her
to choose a suit. ChoIlie was terribly
disappointed. He had his ego open
for the slit. One of the Worth suits
seen on a model did allow the untitled
slit, but she had silk petticoat that
looked like filling. And whenever
the slit exists. there Is cloth turned
back sufficiently to I'LL 1t. But Chollie
was SO disappointed. was surprised
when he SO quickly consented to go
with US, but | soon knew why. I had

Chollie's surprise or disappointment is
always of the voluble sort. He chum-

| chose a suit that had waistcoat
Of Irish lace. II has in reality, though,
no waistcoat at all, for. really, two
scarves OF the lace with soft black
satin below, hang loosely at each
side from the collar, and each Is
clasped toward the end with mussel
shell. really liked a wistaria suit
better, but the trimming was almost
exactly like the heavy cording on our
drawing room chairs like the cord
also used to bind the four sides OF
sofa cushions. This round cord often
edges deep cuffs. Everybody would
have said we had II left over.
