A major OF the legion brought back

over"
One day last fall old Tex sat on the
platform OF a station in England and
told all about himself. A legionaire
named Fred Millen, who halls from
Duluth, was with him.

Modlsh Suit OF Velvet with En-
broidery and Fur Trimming.

The sketch illustrates an excep-
tionally smart little suit designed
for the fall and winter of i917-1s.
The best effect will be obtained "
this suit is developed in velvet, as
IL is dependent 10 a large extent
on the richness Of tho material and
the trimming for distinction.
Russian lines are suggested in the
long semi-bloused coat
AS will be noted. the suit coat
opens az one side. and the trimming
consists OF embroidery which may
he done In metal thread or in braid
in a self or contrasting color. The
metal thread embroidery on a rich
colored velvet suit would be tx.
tremely effective Collar and cuffs
OF fur are shown. but " these are
not desired neck and sleeves may
be finished with self fabric. with
touches OF embroidery serving as
the establishment.
The skirt OF this suit Is quite mar
row. II is not two yards wide
As the vogue for ultra long suit
coats grows. the narrow skirt comes
more and more into favor The
straight silhouette of suit OF this
type must be adhered TO. and long
coats and haring skirts are never
harmonious.
The suit sketched Is especially
adapted for a slender figure. but il
Is not necessarily a misses model.
No clearly defined dividing line is
drawn between garments developed
for young or mature women. style
suitability being decided almost
wholly by the hgure Many elderly
women these days retain the figure

Side fastening effects are very
much in evidence in the lineup Of
suits. Some models fastcn in a
