are semifitting. but are little tighter

a length of from 90 to 81 inches. In

The greatest change is in the collar,
which now is of the shawl variety, and
in the more youthful suits this widens
into a sailor shape. Blue is used very
extensively, and in the majority of
suits q chic touch is given by the ad-
dition of skirt belt piping or bow of

shapeless, most unbecoming garments,
