Among the new autumn models already
shown two examples of short jackets rad
elements of success The first costume vas
made up Of hairy black wool. with a
white silk stripe running through il. ms
stripe a scant quarter Of an inch wide.
There was a double skirt. the lower org
cut straight and Of walking length. Over
this fell a straight tunic. with the side
panels cut en- bias and showing the stripes
running crosswise- The front and back
panels were on the straight line OF the
stuff and at the bottom was a ten-inch deep
band showing the stripes running hori-
zontally. On the left side this was closed
with six velvet buttons The bodice was
made Of crosswise folds OF the material
held by a narrow black velvet belt orra-
mented with jet. The little fitted jacket
barely covered the hips, and was nearly
covered by a deep shawl collar of black
astrakan. The collar was ornanented on
the shoulders by three small velvet buttons
and loops The sleeves were in three-qua--
ter length and were finished by a rather
odd cuff Of fur: the lower part something
like an attached linen cuff and the upper
part faring a little toward the elbow.
The other garment was a loose sack called
a casaquin, taking its shape from the old
time garment Of this name. II was mads
of green velvet. and the basque parts were
cut IN many points. finished with green
silk raSsels. The whole coat was seii-em-
broidered, had round chinchilla collar
and was worn with a gown Of green satin
