any clever home dressmaker should be
able to make an attractive little suit of
this kind.
One of the new-fangled innovations is
the skirt that has a hem-or simulated
hem-to the hip. In fact, the skirt hem
stops just where the coat begins Early
winter models had six-inch hens; then
the hem crept to the knees; now it has
climbed almost to the waist line. and this
deep hem is usually of contrasting ma
terial. which makes the effect still more
surprising.

the spring race meet at Belmont Park
and illustrated on today's page has this
deep hem reaching to the bottom of the
short hip coat. The costume is developed
in delectable shade of old blue satin

sees on an old Imari jar-and the strap
