 of the same material as the rest of the
 suit. The skirt is circular, plaintiff
 ting around the waist and flaring at the bottom.
 Blue serge and gabardine seem to be the most popular choice of all fabrics, and it is unquestioned that they are by far the most serviceable of all mater
 ials In serge the fine small rib is first style. It is smartest for dressy costume because it is fine and smooth and will lend itself readily to the more elaborate style of suit. Serges with heavier rib or a wider vale are more suitable for the plainer and more se- were types Gabardine is very strong favorite also, and is one of the smartest of materials. It is more oi novelty than a plain serge and prom ises to be tremendously popular fol spring Any style suit can be made of it, for the character of the material gives it a great deal of style. Then there is what is known as gabardine voile, finer weave of this same mater ial, for those who prefer a lighter weight in cloth.
 Fine Ottoman cords are quite . smart novelty in woolen fabrics and narrow faille weaves, the same as in the silk, and are very new and dis tinctive. A number of etamine cloths are shown. The weave of these is closer and finer than that which we have had in the past years and it will doubtless be a big success.
 For dressy frocks there is satin galore some of it with wonderful high luster and some with a dull cire effect. Faille silk in both wide and narrow cords will be much worn for street costumes. There is beautiful six known as "poult-de-soie" it is as same weave as faille, but is crisp to the touch, like taffeta silk. In diagon al weave these are very smart when combined with satin. Moire with marking that is scarcely visible is also shown. Taffetas as soft as chiffon are used for three-piece costumes.
 Trimming for the suits will depend, of course, upon the individual who wears it. There are flat silk Hercules braids in all widths and applied in almost every way. A smart finish for a suit is binding of medium-width braid particularly one of the plainer type. For a dressy costume, black soutache braid in fancy design with hand embroidery in heavy black floss is most effective. Buttons are stun ming and are used in great profusion. Pockets play an important roll this season and are to be found on all cos tunes from tailor mades to evening gowns. Silk costumes are trimmed mostly with contrasting materials, and W NOhhCl luIlg dIS seen. There are only touches of hand work and few exquisitely soft sashes. Buttons of every conceivable style and most unusual designs are worn.
 For evening and dance frocks the are exquisite and simply beggar description. The thinnest and 5oftest of chiffon is trimmed with l tulle and fine crystal beads, and there are whole frocks of fine silk net in the most beautiful shades. Liberty l satin is greatly used and fine faille | in delicate colors is soft and easily | draped. Frosty-looking taffetas that | are crisp, but very soft, are beautiful when combined with the filet faces | that are outlined with delicate silver threads. Satins in two tones are very | smart and are very new. Bands of
