followers are few. You see, the neck
has to adapt itself to this collar
because the collar won't adapt it
Sleeves are long and straight
with the fullness, IL any, moving
down. The tight sleeve buttoned mp
TO the elbow is most favored.
Now, there's the figure that Fash
ion has in mind. Let's see what she
is going to put on 1t:
Dresses which show Jacket ef-
fects-the skirt mounted to a waist
lining and worn with a sleeveless
Jacket in Elton or bolero style.
Slip-over-the-head dresses en-
phasizing the Moyen Age line. The
Moyen Age waist is also often COM
hined with a skirt having peg-top
drapery.
Gowns with the waist portion in
slIrplice closing. The majority OF
| these dresses show the square or the
round neck, though fashion still al
lows the v neck where it is more
| becoming.
Combinations of fabrics are
smarter than ever. Silk velvet if
combined with georgette. broadclotr
with plush, serge with satin, anc
serge with a new French silk called
serginette. It resembles surah.
| Rodier, the big fabric man ir
Paris, Is featuring many new jersey
weaves. There is a jersey which
has almost the effect of velour de
| laine, and another which has in It's
weave a poplin cord.
Satin is seen everywhere-double
faced satins, wool-back satins ano
| lustrous pussy willow satins.
Fur Is to be much used in COM
bination, especially with velvets
velveteens and broadcloths.
Plush has faahion's enthusiastic
approval. There are long plush
coats that reach almost to the hem
OF the dress, and which have con-
vertible fur collars. These collars
are in the form Of a deep cape; but
they can be changed into a snug
! fitting, close-t to- the throat collar
Plush is used as a trimming in the
form OF bands and often takes the
place of braid.
One of fashions cunning tricks Is
to put the accent on some particular
I feature of dress. She makes a new
style of an old style.
Both in dresses and separate
skirts this season it is the sides thai
are accented. Though the genera

there are groups Of plaits, odd peck
cts, long draperies and floating pan
els at the sides. Panels are intro
duced in many ways on the new
skirts. This floating panel skirt II
very chic. The panels give a side
tunic effect.
| Another skirt which is specially
smart has a panel back and front
the panel extending into a narrow
/ yoke over the hips. the yoke held
in place by buttons.
Jet buttons are much seen or
cloth dresses, not only to trim q
yoke as Just described, but to but
ton up the tight sleeve. Jet, yoU
see. is increasing in popularity.
Colored stitching gives a new note
| to satin and crepe meteor skirts
Take a skirt Of taupe satin made
with side tunics and stitch these
tunics at the bottom in forestry
green or gold color, and you viii
have a modish skirt a little steE
ahead Of the style.
There is another dress feature
that fashion is accenting just now
the cuff. She has shifted its posi-
ton on the sleeve. Instead of being
at the wrist, its old accustomed
place, we now see 1t at the elbow
Then again, when it is used at the
bottom of the sleeve, it is often 90
deep that 1t reaches to the elbow.
Skirts have cuffs. too, this season
| Not a few of the smartest skirts are
| finished with a cuff hem. The cuff
which turns up on the right side Of
the skirt, varies from six inches tc
three fourths Of a yard.
Elton Jackets are finished with a
cuff. The little jacket is turned
back in cuff form two or three in
Ches above the normal waist line.
The new gloves are keeping up
with the style procession. They, too
have cuffs. Sometimes the cuff is
in the form of a contrasting kid
band, or the glove is in the gauntlet
form with V-shaped insets of con-
trasting kid or suede.
Suede gloves in light tan show
gauntlets Of sand colored lace, or
the entire glove is suede with a
bracelet cuff OF heavy lace fastened
with a mock jewel button. Suede,
by the way, is to be much used.
Long coats of suede in khaki tone
(oIive drab) are extremely smart
with a broad, loose fitting belt, con-
vertible collar, and huge cuffs of
Hudson seal, mole or nutria. Nutria
sometimes called South American
beaver, because 1t is an aquatic ami
NAL something like the beaver in ap-
pearance and habits. The general
color is a speckled yellowish brown,
yet it is also seen in a light brown
tone. 1t is much the fashion this
