Of It's periodic ascenslons and no coat
style is smarter at the moment. These
blouses are rather short and are un-
gathered at tho waistline, the belt
merely encircling the low waistline
over the perfectly fitting, but rather
loose blouse. or tunic. The blouse
may fasten down one side Of the front,
or exactly at the center front, the
latter mode being the smarter. y
Russian blouse of brick red cloth was
one OF the most interesting costumes
worn in the whip" the big English
melodrama from the old Drury Lane
Theatre Of London, now playing in
New York Beautiful clothes abound
in this production and the wicked,
though very pretty, lady-Villianess
wears some of the most Partisan Of the
lot. The aforementioned red Russian
blouse suit was her costume in the
| last scene when her wicked maChi-
| nations were triunphed over very
| properly by virtue expressed in the
person Of the beautiful heroine and
| injured but innocent hero. This flame
red Russian blouse suit had touches
of black velvet at the lower edge OF
/ the tunic. at the cuff and around the
neck in the shape of a narrow, chic
collarette; and there was an immense
" chic toque Of draped black velvet
to match the suit. The lines were
the perfection of the tailoring art
and neat utle buttonod boots of
patent leather gave the finishing touch
70 the costume.

wonderfully pleasing harmony when
one considers the varieties Of colors
and weaves thus mixed up. Some
times a shaped tunlc over a skirt of
contrasting material suggests the fash
ionable draped effect, though no actual
drapery is introduced. This is the
case in a braided tailleur which shows
coat and shaped tunic of olive brown
cloth over a skirt Of lansdowne. The
skirt Is extremely soft and clinEs
about the feet, just showing the but
toned boot beneath; and the tunic
Is closely cut to the lines of the
soft lansdowne skirt and is heavily
weighted to keep it in place. The cut
away coat IS braided in n chevron de
sign which obliterates the side seams
and above oddly shaped revers OF vel
vet Il squarely cut collar of St Gall
embroidery in the new lacy effect.
Many tailored coats have collars or
jabots OF this new lacy embroidery
which is Just now more distinctive
than lace itself.
Slot seams arc used as decorative
motif on the suit of light brownish
gray ratine weave which is the most
conYentionally "tailormade" type pic
tured today. The skirt of this suit
has n slot seam down the center front
and slot seams outline n pannier mo-
/ tif over the hips. The side seams of
the coat are hidden under square
| tabliers which overlap and are trim
med with buttons and loops. The vest
| at the front of this coat is particularly
| interesting as new spring feature
and the oddly shaped revers will also
attract attention from those who
watch for new style ideas. A straw
hat with two white quilts shooting
backward matches the suit, and the
boots are buttoned walking boots with
dull calf tops on vamps of patent
leather.
