u preN2lllng mode and still makes
1 \ costume that stands out with
an individuality of its own has
achieved something that the conserva-
tive woman is bound to appreciate
This costume from Chcruit follows
lines which have become so popular as
to he almost rommon-the cape with its
surplice front. the Russian tunic. the
wide sailor hat and the materials of
white satin and black velvet-and yet
this whole creation has marked differ
ences from others of its kind.
The white taffeta of the skirt shows
variety, for it is the new pussy-willow
taffeta-a material so soft and graceful
that it clings in bewildering lines. and
bears a sheen on It's surface not unlike
that of satin. The lining of the odd
cape. and the covering and bow OF the
sailor hat model are conceived in this
same new quality of taffeta.
The Russian tunic skirt is different,
for the sharp V at the center Of the
lower tunic and the deftly draped upper
tunic. which hangs from gathers at
the hips. give the whole the appearance
of a dressy model. The entire effect Of
the costume might have been de-
stroyed if the Russian tunic had hung
quite simply from waist line without
fullness.
We have seen all manner of cape
models for fall, for the Neapolitan wrap
was superseded by the Venetian. only
TO be brushed aside by the popularity
Of a Papal guard model or Henry II
mantle. In the quaint black velvet
cape of this model Cheruit has con-
ceived one which has none of the quail
ties OF the others. for II hangs In A
square at the back. The falling section
OF the wrap is gathered with a heading
on yoke which is bordered in tailless
ermine fur. and ends in two wide sur
plice ends crushing in pretty folds
the cape in the back.
The broad -brimmed hat is one of the
very newest shapes. and 1t is faced
with black velvet beneath the brirT: and
covered with the soft taffeta To be
smart your hat must be extremely large
and wide this fall or els< hIilt after the
pill-box model. which is so small that
its high and sumptuous trimming seems
ever ready to carry it away on a chance
breeze.
