jumper extension will appeal to the
| average woman who aspires te
| dress WELL but who has to consider the
expense as it is possible at a small cost
to dress up a plain waist or dress with
one Of these new separate garments and
acquire very stylish effect. There is
great variety in the styles of the bolero
coats. Some are simply short jackets
ending at the waist line, and made OF
silk, lace, linen or agaric cloth: Others
| have bolero lines with coat-tail eN-
| tension in the back. This extension some
times reaches to the knees and is edged
with a pleated ruching. Other garments
take on the lines of the Russian models,
with slight blouse in front. held in by
fancy leather belt, this often being
made of narrow strips of leather joined
with fancy ornament in the back and
side front, finished off with slashed
leather ends falling in tassel effect.
Getaway Jackets of agaric Turkish
toweling have artistic agaric cut-out en-
broidery following the coat outline and
fronts to the. collar line.

cut-out section around the arms. This
Jumper is also cut somewhat on Russian
lines, as it has deep peplum of about
six inches below the waist and a soft
eirdIe arranged to allow a slight blouse
in the upper section Of the waist. The
only trimming on this garment is an eff
fective design in English eyelet hand
embroidery.
Other jumpers are shown on surplice
lines, with deep V cut-out section, both
back and front. Some of these have
peplum extensions, while others are de-
signed to slip under the skirt at the
| waist. One most effective style, suitable
| to wear with an expensive lingerie or
wolfe dress, is made of chiffon taffeta
| with left-side opening, and slightly
cut-out section around the neck and
sleeves. edged with fringed-out silk ruch-
ing. A deep peDlum or tunic of about
eight or nine inches extends below the
waist line both back and front, finished
off with a soft crushed gfrdle and trim
med around the skirt section with a silk
pleated ruching.
New waist models are seen in wide
variety of styles suitable to wear on the
| outside of the skirt. and they are made
with sufficient waist measurement to slip
over the high-waisted skirt if necessary.

Some very attractive lace waists in
| handmade filet, crochet cluny, bo-
heman, macrame and other varieties
have a coat-tail outline cut away in
| front and gradually sloping off to a point
about ten inches below the waist in the
! back. Other lace waists have slightly
gathered frills. or short tunics. as they
| might well be called. as they extend
about twelve inches below the waist, and
| are finished off with cotton ball fringe
| Another style shows an extended pep
lum slashed over each hip and made per-
| fectly fiat back and front. On some OF
the new models this finish is trimmed at
| the edge with fringe or cord. More sim
pie in design are the waists with just the
short tabs in front and back, or the
position panels. These are formed by
allowing the lace band trimming of the
waist to slip under the belt and come GU,
below in short extension.

The idea of wearing waist on the out
side of the skirt is not confined to chiffon
taffeta, crepe de chine, lace and the more
dressy models, but 1t is also seen in the
lingerie garments. In many cases bands
of insertion slip over the outside. having
Iirregular-shaped lace motifs and lace tab
! extending from this point.
