not be worn as extensively as in the

as a utility suit it will have serious
rival in the dressier type of costume.
Demand for Silk Suits.
The wool cloths are made so very
soft and supple these days that they
can be draped and ruffied and punched
up as easily as the silken fabrics. The
vogue for dressy tailored creations,
however. has brought about a demand
for silk materials for the so-called
tailored costumes. Taffeta, MORE, the
dull faced satins, faille, crepe de chine,
crepe meteor and silks of this ilk are
being used for the three-piece cos
tunes and the skirt and jacket suits.
Though extremely soft, the new
veayes of taffeta promise to give bet
ter service than the sitter varieties,
whose rustic was sweet music in the
ears of the "fashionably' ambitious in
byg0ne wears Some of the better
weayes Of these new taffetas do not
look like taffeta at all, but resemble
usterless satin with a tiny, cordlike
line Cthor5 are very light in weight,
and though known under the generic
title Of chiffon taffeta," they are much
softer and finer than the weaves for
merly recognized under this name.
Creepy Weaves in Demand.
All Of the creepy weaves are very
much in demand, with crepe de chine
and crepe meteor as the favorites.
Equally popular are poplin weaves, the
failles, bengalines and others of this
type And though generally thought
Of as a winter material, MORE in the
light weight will be very smart. The
MORE effect is also produced on GER
tain of the satin weaves, and has Ia
ken the place of the matelasse designs
Of last spring. Moire and crepe de
chine are oftentimes combined in the
same costume, with the creepy goods
used in the skirt and the MORE in the
saucy little jacket.
When to the dressy effect of the
silk material is added the "dress-up"
touch Of color, the costume bids fair
to deserve the title of semi-tailored,
regardless of its cut. Undoubtedly
the all-black and all-white costumes
Will be most popular, the former be-
cause they are always good looking

being dressy and yet plain, and the lat

OF a lad started this winter among the
smarly dressed women. The new
green's are sure to be well liked. and if
an altgreen suit is considered too
striking it may be combined with
grey. The brighter shades of blue are
olslng the old-time favorite, navy
oIue, and the dressy silk costumes are
oelng developed in natter. eco and
sapphire. Even the tango, a reddish
yellow shade, Is not considered too
brilliant a color in a taffeta costume.
No More Straight Lines.
There are very few tailored lines in
'he skirt of the so-called tailored COS
tunes Of the spring. Straight effects
ere no longer desirable; the more one
can break up the lines the better.
4here are various methods of accom-
pllshing this. Perhaps the simplest is
Inc tered skirt of two, three and even
Iouf hounces. BY adding a straight
panel in the front and in the back the
snort woman inclined toward embon-
point will find her skirt more becom-
ing The same woman will like the

hangs them with points at the sides or
grapes them to fall lower at one side.
As long as the bouffant drapery at
NE hips is the ideal of the hour the
peg-top skirts are sure to retain their
popularity. In fact, the fulness at the
s!oes has been materially increased,
and n the more extreme models is ar
ranged to hang in trouser fashion, if
nor IN actual Turkish trousers. This
