In selecting a model for the early \
fall street costume, one could scarce
ly do better than to choose the chic /
skirt and blouse represented in I
the first figure. The fashionable /
skirt of tartan plaid, in green, blue !
and tan broadcloth, and waist of /
green faille silk, with tan satin collar /
and cuffs, both show the most up-to-
date lines a stunning two-piece
dress. Both skirt and blouse show
smart button trimming. popular
feature for the season.
Do not fail TO notice the correct
new peplum, tapping. with the blouse,
from left to right. This is the way
the women of Japan close their
kimono, and is the way all mems gar
ments are Tapped, but it seems an in
novation for woman's dress here, and
really new idea. A modish costume
like this would be appropriate for 4
many occasions, and with the addi
tion of lace or net accessories, such
as are so much in vogue, a more
dressy appearance may at once be
effected Also, if one has a particu-
/ larly fetching girdle or sash, this will
/ give vivid touch of color and would
! prove very attractive. A black velvet
/ girdle, with a smart little bow and
4 buckle, would look we'll with this,
and with various other blouses.
The woman who knows the value
and economy in providing for her
toilettes the newest in dress ac-
cessories will have at hand a dozen
different arrangements to vary her
gowns, and thus always looks smartly
dressed. It is oftenest in the details
that effect is obtained. The main
thing at present, however. is to
achieve the fashionable figure. This
does not mean, as it once did, that
ones natural form must be distorted
by uncomfortably tight laced corsets.
Just the contrary. The ultra blouse
of the corsage, and the increased full
ness of the skirt about waists and
hips speak for absolute freedom of
the body, and ease of pose and move
ment. This necessitates a very no
ticeable change in corsets, and it is
limited they may be entirely discarded
The figure must be natural. and the
difference in the silhouette as seen in
the near future will be ocassioned
only by the newer pleated peplums
and the Persians tunics, as the drap-
cry will still be of the kind that
r hangs to the figure. Even the tail
