Women are much interested in the
tailored suit for fall and early winter
wear. How is the new tailored suit to
be made? This is the problem. We
have been "hobbled' and tied in until
the limit of discomfort and ugliness
has been reached, so that it Is refresh
ing to hear that lines are TO be re-
Taxed and hobble bands discarded
when fashion settles down for the au-
tumn season.
That coats will be short is an estab-
lished fact. Skirts will be straight, but
comfortably built. OF course many
women viii follow the extreme styles
and wear the narrow tied In skirt, but
as a rule the new skirt win show a
wider knee girth. The best tailors say
the popular six piece skirt is the one
to be desired and the simplest to make.
This skirt should have heavily welded
seams and be worn short, well above
the ankle.
The new tailored suit, according to
accepted lines, is a typical model OF
what a mannish suit should be-more
so than my that has been worn for
several seasons. Less material is re-
quired for this suit than for the plated
model. The salesman will tell you to
buy seven yards of double width ma
terial, but this is nearly a yard more
than is needed If the material is well
cut. The suit illustrated is a smart ex'
ample of the new tailor made.
