Three Piece Suits
Another convenience is the three
piece, semi-tailored suit consisting Of
coat and skirt, combined with blouse
of satin, chiffon cloth, crepe de Chine or
other contrasting material, in the same
color or shade that combines we'll with
the color Of the suit. A suit like this
is easily fashioned at home, as there is
absolutely no sign of the old-time
tailored stiffness, padding, and various
other things, which few seasons ago
made the idea of fashioning coat at
home so alarming. The touch Of fur
which is SO much part of these suits
just now, renders them smart and be-
coming, as well as warm. Among the
novelties noticed on many Of these fur
trimmed suits is the "muff cuff These
are wide and flaring, made of fur or a
fur fabric, and arranged SO that the
hands may be slipped into them quite
as one would use muff This idea is
especially practical for the suit for shop

Muff Chains Once More

While speaking of the muff it is in
teresting to note that the muff cord or
chain is again in favor. One sees it
often; knotted satin and MORE ribbon
often form the cord; the regulation
wtisted cord is favored, too, and the
jeweled chain is smart and effective.
Fur trimmed petticoats and pantalettes
are among the season s startling novel
ties; while the idea is somewhat ridicu-
lous, glimpse of the fur edged petit
coat showing beneath the heavy suit is
nevertheless attractive and fetching.

Possibilities Of Guimpe

Perhaps the greatest number of posi-
bilities for varying the simple dress,
when one has a limited quantity of
clothes, lie in the guimpe. These as a
rule are. charmingly simple, depending
for effect upon the color contrast, the
soft sheerness Of the material, and per-
haps a button or two, or jeweled
buckle by way of trimming. The ev-
eryday dress of serge, taffeta, or broad
cloth may have variety of these
guimpes for all hours of the day-for
morning wear there will be one of plain
black satin or taffeta; for afternoon
and informal evening affairs, club lun-
oheons, and teas, a guimpe Of crepe
Georgette, chiffon cloth, or net, in a
tremendously contrasting shade will rem

of study and enables them to add effec
tive little touches of their own to frock
and blouse, rendering them somewhat
different, and more suited to their own
personality. At tea the other afternoon,
one girl wore a simple serge jumper
frock made with short full skirt and
sleeveless overblouse and an underwaist
of dark blue crepe Georgette yelling
emerald green crepe Georgette. The
guimpe was made with a high collar
finished at the top with a tiny frill
of white; and closed straight down the
front with small dull gold buttons. Mar
row back MORE ribbon formed the Cir
die, closing on the left side in small
fiat bow with long streaming ends. Six
bands of the MORE ribbon had been set
on to the skirt at graduated intervals,
giving the effect of fiounces, and adding
wonderfully to the appearance Of the
simple frock. The ribbon, which the
wearer had herself applied, made the
commonplace dress most attractive and
unusual.

Variety in Collars and Cuffs

The simplest frocks or blouses may be
made attractive and becoming by ad-
ding contrasting cuffs, or an unusual
collar; these may be made removable
and others substituted at will, thus
achieving pleasing change when the
dress is becoming somewhat worn. 1t
is an easy matter to fashion any mum.
Der of these contrasting sets from bits
of velvet, or ribbon (Which is at the
height of popularity for trimmings of
all sorts just now, crepe Georgette, or
chiffon. Nothing is softer or more be-
coming than hemstitched collar of
crepe or chiffon; it will add a dressy
look to the plainest of costumes. There
is great choice in girdles, too, this
winter. One of the popular notions is
the narrow band of velvet, faille, or
picot edged MORE ribbon, drawn around
the waist and tied in long ended fiat
bows.
