Popular Late
Summer Suit

The most popular OF late summer
suits appears here, and 1t has been
developed in several thin and supple
materials. Crepe, bordered with serge
and having serge collar and cuffs,
chiffon cloth or crepe adorned with
soutache braid. jersey, and thin sup
pie silks, all contribute TO the differ
ent interpretations of this refined de-
sign.
1t is shown in the picture made of
crepe de chine In a soft sulphur shade
and trimmed very little with soutache
braid in the same color. The plain
skirt is plated In at the belt and the
sleeveless coat hangs straight from
the shoulders. Both front and back
are gathered in to the short epaulettes,
that are also decorated with braided
pattern In soutache. An under-bodice
Of crepe georgette has long plain
sleeves finished with n band cuff of
material like the suit. These are

suit In color.
AS in many late summer suits the
belt is loosely adjusted. The coat fas-
tens with small, covered buttons down
the front.
For early fall wear the same model
Is shown made Of chiffon cloth banded
with serge at the bottom of the coat
and skirt, or with velvet or one of
the supple pushes. The belt shows n
closer adjustment 10 the figure. and
the coat has sleeves Of the chiffon
cloth. Collar and cuffs are of the
heavier material and also the bandings
and straight and short scarf of this
fabric, lined with soft satin In con-
trastlng color, makes a wonderfully
effective accessory.
Black-and-white shoes and black
and-white hat are worn with the gown
pictured. They are good choice with
many of the new colors for fall, which
include the dahlia shades, purple,
taupe and oil the castor shades az
well as those with which we are more
familiar.
