designs are much favored, and almost
every house worth mentioning has
turned out good looking models In

Attractive foulard models are also
shown In the popular black and white
coloring, the foulard often combined
more or less freely with plain black
satin. A black satin coat and skirt
band with bodice and upper skirt OF
foulard make a practical and modish
trotting suit. and there are numerous
models on the same general lines
shown by prominent designers.
