Deputy Whalen gave warning that

A PART from the bewildering world
"A of gowns in the loosely hanging
styles, with voluminous and envelop-
ing draperies and all sorts of eccen-
tricities of construction. the tailor

the promenade are to be seen on the
best dressed women, bearing little i'm

Of the refreshingly neat looking suits

embody a skirt in which there is a lit
tie drapery and a charming coat or
jacket, with an easy set to the figure.
The American woman is independ-
ent enough to continue to wear an I'M
draped skirt and plain coat if it suits
her style best. A plentiful sprinkling
Of them appears in any concourse of
fashionable people. But the most sue
cessful and pleasing suits are those
in which the style features of the pre-
vailing mode have made themselves
felt to the extent of doing away with
severe lines.
Such a suit is pictured here on the
smartly gOwned lady dressed for
promenade. 1t is of brocaded eponge,
in a dark paprika shade, worn with
small black hat and all unspotted er-
mine muff. There is a border Of err
mine on the collar. In passing, one
should note that touch of fur in the
costume, used as a trimming, worn
with muff to match, is just about the
latest and most successful of fashions
fancies. At the New York horse show
there was liberal sprinkling of
gowns in which this combination
proved itself most effective. In one
instance a costume of sage green satin
and chiffon had a shawl collar of spot
ted ermine, with muff to match. The
hat was an Oriental turban of black
velvet, Over the gown an enveloping
coat concealed the ermine collar en-
