kepi and others in imitation of the
French infantry cap, made UP in red
silk with a small shield; the crown

Another military hat, a cross be

OF the suits to travel in, and for
general wear, covert is shown first and
last. The semi-fitting jacket with
long, pointed fronts and pockets set
well down in the points is among the
favOrites Of those shown There is also
smart short jacket which has a wide
belt placed on the upper part OF the
Jacket with high waistline. the lower
edge of the belt coming to the normal
waistline of the figure. With these
Jackets are worn skirts which flare
az the lower edge; they are cut circu-
lar, two or three piece, and not long
ago i saw a skirt which had nine
cores to its credit.
Many skirts are made with a yoke
which is clOse-fittinE over the hips and
with the lower section of the skirt put
onto the yoke without a gather or a
wrinkle. Other skirts are made with
an upper and lower section. the up
per section close-fitting, while the
lower section is made so that the flare
at the lower edge is decided.
The dresses which are on the moyen
age order still hold sway among the
tall and lithesOme figures, to whom it
is especially becoming The model
which 1 have used for my first illus
tratiOn is a frOck designed on the long
mOyen age lines The waist reaches
from the shoulders to a low hipline on
the sides. while the front panel of the
skirt reaches up and becomes the
front panel of the waist as we'll A
narrow belt is worn loosely around
the waist, defining the normal waist
line The material of this dress is
the very fashionable covert cloth
trimmed at the neck and sleeves
with narrow bands of beaver.
The jumper models are both praC-
/ teal and smart and are method of
developing a dress which viii afford
many changes in the way of various
guimpes of silk, of net. or of chiffon.
In many cases the suitability of this
dress for simple or more elaborate oc-
cGsiOns being supplied by the guimpe.
The model illustrated shows the
latest mode in jumper dresses. The
full flariug skirt is of the new large
check, which is so much seen amOng
the new frocks which are the forerun-
ners of the spring styles in navy blue
and white The jumper is of plain ma
terial, matching the blue of the check
high ON the skirt in front and low in
the back. With this is worn a guimpe
OF buckskin- cOlOred crepe de chine.
Taffeta is a material which holds
strong place among the up-tO-date
materials. 1t is to be seen in various
new effects, dimly watered like moire
silk, changeable and in cross-bar and
dotted effects. 1t is very queer. how
ever, that more of the taffeta is used
for evening dresses than for the after
noon frocks.
A stunning dress of white cross-bar
taffeta caught my eve the other day
in one of the very smart shop VIM
dows The skirt fun and ripping. is
bound on a heavy cable cord. On each
side from waistline to hipliue is a
yoke effect outlined with iridescent
sPaugles and trimmed with a motif
OF spangles and pearl strands. The
bodice is cut low and square; the front
is WrmlSled. while the back is cut
with ends which cross and are draped
to the shoulders, where they are held
with a pearl and spangle motif The
short sleeves are OF white maline.
The shops are showing many short
WASTED dresses, especially for evening
wear-little gowns with waists which
reach just below the bust and Ions
skirts with very little trimming, They
are very similar to the gowns worn
in Josephine's time, and yet conform
enough 10 the fulness of skirt, which
is the now vogue to Keep them from
being as clinging as the gowns of those
