Tho trouble lies in the fact that
many children from many homes

/" HIS Is the day of the tailor
made. The new figure. with
its snug corseting and
smaller waist. lends itself graceful
ly to the severe lies of the tailored
suit
Many women are now. order
ing their street suits severely plain.
because the edict has gone forth
from the style centers of the world
that street costumes shall be simple.
Chermt Is using homespun for these
suits, and the newest of her models
show a short. jaunty jacket of mus
tard colored homespun to be worn
with a blue serge skirt. This jacket
gains It's flare from the plaits IN
serted at the side seams. Plaits. too.
are cleverly concealed IN the skirt.
A similar model shown BY one of
the New York dealers Is of black
and white check with the plaits at
the side. This IS closer fitting IN
the front than the Cheruit model.
and the back Is a seamless panel
caught down at the waist-line so
that It presents a tight. straight,
plain effect. which Is very trig.
Many of the Bernard Jackets are
designed on the lines of the regula-
lion riding habit coat. fitting snugly
at the waist. with side pockets like
the riding habit model. Even the
materials IN their dark gray and
black and white effects are remi-
niscent Of the riding coat.
Jenny uses bands of jet sequins to
trim a frock of black tulle mounted
over a close fitting fourreau. Premet
uses a new trimming for one of his
black evening gowns. It consists of
row upon row of the narrowest
sOutache braiding. placed just as
close together as it is possible to
get 1t. Military braiding. it IS called
because the same idea Is shown IN
the braiding of the officers uni
forms. A similar effect can be
achieved by very fine tucking or
cording.
