A FASHIONABLE SUIT
OF DOUBLE FACED CLOTH

The one great novelty Of the season
for tailored suits is double faced
cloth. Here is a costume that is made
thereof and which shows many of the
latest features. The coat includes a
big shawl collar and the skirt is six
gored. The front and back cores give
the panel effect, yet really make parts
of the skirt, for the in-turns are wide
and stitching can be made to any
depth. At the sides there are invert-
ed plaits that provide comfortable
freedom while the straight narrow ef-
feet is maintained. The coat is of the
wrist length that is such a favorite
and is closed at the left Of the front
The skirt is trimmed with buttons
to continue this line and the whole
effect is charming. Cloth with check
ed under-side is much liked and ex-
ceedingly attractive, but double faced
materials are to be found with the
reverse sides in stripes or in plain
contrasting color and in bigger plaids
