THE NEWER TAILORED FROCKS

favorite of all colors Green Is ever
an attractive tone for the first days
of spring and dark green lis among
the most popular OF the midwfnter
shades, so that a costume of dark
green serge or tweed will be smart
for the two seasons for which actually

appear again I'm exquisite shades OF
rose, robins egg. blue and light wood
color, but the matron always looks
smartest In the quieter tones.
While there are innumerable models
of most elaborate and intricate design
among the newest importations of tai
siored gowns from France. still some
of the smartest are extremely simple,
and X Is these palmer designs which
the woman with limited purse should
initiate. 1t is specially advisable, when
purchasing at this time of year, TO
keep to the simplest models which
will remain smart no matter how
many varied fashions the realm OF
dress may undergo. II the outfit has
suddenly given, out and there is not
one gown which can be relied upon
to carry the wearer successfully
through until spring, altogether the
best purchase will be a cloth tailored
costume made with medium length
coat and skirt that hangs straight,
but Is in no way exaggeratedly scant.
Braiding Is once again much in EVIL
dence. and just a small amount of
half-inch silk braiding will greatly en-
nance the effect of the costume. Black
braid Ia used almost altogether, save
on the light materials, which. instead
of being braided, are generally trim
med In some other way. White MORE
collar, revers and cuffs covered with
one thickness of black chiffon are de-
lightfully smart on a coat of smooth
finished cloth.
Afternoon Costumes.
But the coat suit question is not the
garments IN the wardrobe which re-
auire attention. At this time OF the
year. when semi-formal affairs are TO
be attended. afternoon frocks are a
necessity. In the first illustration II
shown a little frock In which two ma
terials are attractiqvely combined. The
upper part of the peasant blouse was
fashioned from white satin striped
marquisette with sprays of roses. The
pointed tabs were of white peau de
sole and the silk was also used for the
pointed turned back cuffs. The charm
Ing little skirt had q pointed panel
which the side cores overlapped. The
perfectly straight fiounce was of the
marquisette over silk.
The second figure presents very
striking princess gown. Rose broad
cloth was used for this froek. The
odd shaped yoke-whieh was cut in
one with the sleeves--was of heavy
ecru lace. and a band Of this lace
trimmed the waistline. \ shaped band
of the lace outlining the top of the
fiounce Wis the only trimming on the
skirt.
Ratine will be as smart this spring
as has been the case all winter, and
go much in fashions favor Is this new
cloth that Il bids fair to outrival the
ever favorite serge. Although scarce
ly appropriate for an elaborate CO.'S
tune, this fabric liz nevertheless eff

which a tailor costume can be worn.
