loose-hanging. shapely body and mod
erately full peplum. 1t is decorated
with small scroll design, done in the
narrowest of white braid, and hav.
ing the effect of embroidery. This de-
sign appears at each side of the front
and at each side of the back. The
coat opens with reyers, which are
overlaid by other revers of soft pique
in white 1t fastens with two large
pearl buttons. The designer has al
lowed his fancy some license in fin
ishing the sleeves in an unexpected
fashion. The faring cuffs of blue are
supplemented with additional inside
cuffs of white pique.
A suit of this kind calls for wash
blouse of equal elegance. and nothing
commonplace will do. The sailor hat,
worn with it, is of fine black and
white satin made in the best manner
of the milliner. A fine Panama is in
the same class and might be worn with
it. In an outfit of this kind one is
dressed well enough for almost any
demand the summer may make. There
is nothing better in suits.

any to be reached in richer stuffs.
In the picture coat suit is shown
of heavy linen crash in a clear, strong
blue. The skirt is moderately full and
is laid in plaits at the sides. The
plaits are stitched down to the hip
line and hang free below, forming a
panel, fairly wide, at the front and
one at the back. 1t is finished with a
three-inch hem.
The coat bespeaks an expert in de-
signing, for it is a marvel of fine ad-

vanity bags Of many sorts have pro-
vided fashionable receptacles this sum-
mer for all the small necessities cf
feminine comfort Wherever she goes
the lady of today carries some, sort of
Il vanity bag along, and even at home
she provides herself with reticules and
pockets, for convenience. Many of
these are made of the same material
as the frock or skirt but separate from

Q to Il inches long, gathered into a
