lar which is extended in the front to
form revers inside of which is a
fancy vest of blue satin. The cuffs
are deep and large into which are
gathered the full elbow sleeves. The
skirt is in sweep length, buttit may
be made shorter to advantage II SO
desired. 1t is constructed by an
eleven gore pattern and tucked and
novel trimming arrangement is
shown by having short straps with
pointed ends applied to eachs one of
the cores with the points turned
backwards.
Another development of this de-
sign was shown in brown panama
with checked silk collar belt and
collar belt and cuffs and straps on
the skirt Or green satin cloth
trimmed with soutache would be in
order. A plain voile over a checked
taffeta would not be out of place and
would make a very elegant gown for
calling, receptions and matinee.
OF course. there must be an extra
jacket for the spring wardrobe ani
one of the cutaways is a model that
is smart and serviceable. A tan cloth
or a black serge would make up
nicely in this mode and be useful for
wear with skirts of other colors. The
front is without seam or darts but
achieves the desired smooth adjust
ment by its sharp cut from the two
upper buttons showing the vest be-
meath or not as liked. The under arm
seams are open in vents for a few in
ches above lower edge. A notched
collar is finished in velvet and the
closing is made with two buttons
about bust depth. The sleeves are
in coat style finished with a narrow
turned back cuff. To make such a
coat more dressy, braid could outline
all the edges, the collari and cuffs
could be braided and the sleeves
could be in elbow length But for
service. the first description is the
better model.
Many women like theS box coats
for rough wear and good model is a
box coat in thirty-inch length. Both
back and fronts are seamless, having
short vents at the under&rm seams.
1t is characterized by deep large arm
holes,s the sleeve being inserted in
regular shirt style. The cuffs are
deep and folded over with button
on each side and notch collar gives
the coat a jaunty -6inishs Black
cheviot. gray worsted, brown wide
vale serge, broadcloth or any of the
spring coatingsi will be suitable for
this kind of a coat. .-fi r.
The hats are chacterized by broad
prims and low crowns, many of them
look like very wide sailors and are
dented and turned to suit the face.
Plumes will be used profusely, indeed
all kinds of feathers will be seen this
season as welltas flowers, sometimes
a number of different kinds of flow
ers will be used on a hat.ifiHats may
or may not be in the same color as
the dress if in different color there
must be harmony of combination.
