bananas, like green" apples, are I'M

and innocuous ripe banana should not

oroidery TO be observed on the best
looking street suits of the season out
many OF the smart models are bound
with wide braid The very high class
suit seen among the Illustrations is of
gray mixed suiting bound at all its
edges with a black braid and trimmed
with black and white buttons. A white
hat white gloves and black patent
leather boots with tops OF calf COM
plete this very correct street costume.
Every effort is being made to bring
back the plated skirt In the lighter
weight materials the accordion plated
skirt is an accepted fashion, and now
come in the heavier fabric skirts with
plaits at the side or falling below the
overskirt This plated effect is often
combination OF box and side plaits.
The plating does not extend to the top
of the skirt. but is merely a deep
| flounce sewed into a close fitting toun-
dalton or top. All the plaits are held
down by a ribbon stitched to the in
side OF the plaits. thus keeping them
always in place and giving the fash
ionable straight line
A typically correct costume with a
plated skirt is pictured. II is made of
black and white whipcord. The coat
| Is a cutaway model And speaking of
| coats, the sleeves and revers on the
new models are so different and il will
require so much remodeling to bring
| them into line with this seasons cut
that it will be far better to leave them
as they are and save the money that
| would have to be expended in doing
them over toward buying an abso-
lutely new costume.
There is a fancy for high necked
fastenings on the new coats, and this
very sensible idea is carried out on g
French tailored suit shown in the
group The many buttons used on the
costume are very chic. and the skirt
is draped a wee bit at one side.
Another of the cuts displays thu
draped influence in a directoire cos
tune with a slashed coat of broadclotf
over a draped skirt of satin. The Skin
