The Palmer Types Of
Pedestrienne Suits
Skirt Lore Tunics
and Novel Effects
in Draperies Coat
Cuts : Materials :
Directoire Details.

Despite the vogue of the one-pieced tai
lored cloth gown and the long list of COM
pliments which 1t deservedly receives the
coat and skirt remain the street costume
mar excellence. The influence of the Di-
rectoire idea has been wholly In its favor
in that 1t has had the effect of making
skirts simpler and coats more picturesque
and consequently more becoming to the
average feminine figure. That both these
garments are a bit difficult for the me-
iium-priced tailor to turn out matters
little to his fair customer. He must
learn to make clinging long skirt, per-
fectly hanging short circular and picture
coat or she will take her patronage else
where. No man appreciates this fact
more perfectly than does the tailor, and
as rapidly as is possible he Is mastering
the secret of the Directoire effects just as
three decades ago he acquired the art OF
adapting mannish modes to feminine
curves. While the strictly tailored and
severely tailored suit Is still worn. the
Directoire costume is ultra smart.
Short Circulars for Walking.
Though the long skirt is and has been
for a year past the fashionable skirt, con-
sidered from the viewpoint Of the woman
who usually goes about in a carriage and
also in the opinion of her sister who
walks more frequently than she rides, 1t
Ia not suitable skirt for shopping or
long journeys. Moreover, the American
winter is not one to which the practice
of wearing long skirt for walking pur-
poses is we'll adapted, and while the ma
jority of the fair sex intend to keep
abreast of the clinging effects demanded
by the fashions OF the hour, the majority
will be content to wear them In modi-
fed form. Hence the short. circular skirt
will undoubtedly be the popular walking
skirt of the autumn and winter. NO
woman or tailor can truthfully predict at
this moment what the spring Will bring
forth.
Checks and Stripes Lead.
For practical street suits of the modi-
fed Directoire type, such us are deyel-
oped In beautifully finished sicilliennes,
serges and worsteds. checks and stripes
are far more popular than are plain ef-
fects. Many of these fabrics are in two
tones of one color, although In some hay
ing wide checks and distinctly separated
hairlines are seen rather startling con-
trasts. These are especially notable IN
the combinations of black, brown ana
'slsS hs', with white. The smartest looking
