every street corner. the new ready
made tailored garb for spring is pretty

Few really striking new effects are
to be seen now in New York, for most
of the smart folk are at the winter
resorts-or on the trains and steamers
thereto. One may observe more stun
ming new tailor-mades on a Pullman
train between New York and Palm
Beach than would be seen in Manhat-
tan itself in a fortnight, unless one has
the entree to very smart society. But
in the Southland, at Bermuda, at Hot
springs, and at some popular winter
Fairgrounds farther north and out
West much that is new and absorbing
in fashions may be noted.
For travelling wear was designed
one of the smart tailor-mades pic
tured--the attractive military model
Of dark blue diagonal serge with white
Gather belt and rows Of little white
pearl buttons on collar and cuffs. This
dashing little suit was noted at one of
the large hotels at Lakewood, where it
was worn by a bride whose trousseau
included many other costumes equally
dainty and arresting in style. Heavy
black bengaline silk with a diagonal
thread Of red trims the suit grace.

gestion Of the button-trimmed, belted
jacket. The skirt ripples widely but
falls in faultless folds. At the back is
a panel of the bengaline silk lined
with red taffeta. At Lakewood. straw

her military travelling suit. this pretty
bride wore a turban Of black panne

feather ornament at one side.

straight panel falling from the shout
ders at back and extending just below
the line of the hip yoke. From the
loose fronts a belt of green SUEDE

the panel at the back. two cord orna-

narrow cuffs of the pleated suede, and
a collar of the suede turns back from
the neck of the coat, over fatty
pressed reverS. The style Of the suit
Is arresting, though its simplicity Is
marked; but perfection of cut, and the
excellent materials employed give it
utmost distinction.
Another travelling suit for a Ber-
muda-bound bride Of early February,
is of castor brown covert cloth with
short, ripple skirt and a coat as loose
as a mandarin's Jacket. which fastens
at the bust with a single button COW
cred with faille silk matching silk COL
lar and cuffs. The peculiar cut Of this
coat, with loose. straight fronts, end
Ing below the waistline In points, and
a ripple back somewhat shorter, so
that the line of the Goa slopes up

mode extremely striking and smart.
Groups Of small ball buttons. crochet
covered. run down either side of the
front, down the seam which join the
ripple back to the side sections, and
up the outer edge of the silk cuffs.
The coat and skirt of castor brown
covert will be accompanied by a tur-
ban Of brown straw trimmed with
chestnut-burr pompons, and by patent
leather boots with tan spats.
