Suits and Gowns Are All Showing the

Pretty Effect.

Carrying out predictions Of few

phasizing with decided success the
directoire model in suits and gowns.
There is a jauntiness about the cut.

the charm, the "chic,' as Parisians
say, to costume. The combination
of materials is most easily carried out,
because of the cuffs, the lapels and
collar with the vest and patch peck
cts which characterize this style. But
tons play an important part. and the
broad girdle and sash give opportunity
for a color note that will contribute
individuality and character. to gown

The favorite directoire dress and
suit have vest effects. This important

The whole length of the vest can be
shown If the jacket is the cutaway
type. If it is crossed and fastened,
the vest is seen below the waist line.
There are patch pockets at the hips
of many directoire coats. Sleeves are
usually long, with ruffles of lace at
the lower edge or, running up the
outer seam. Turned.bdck cuffs are al
