Style in Women's Suits

The tailored influence continues strong In
women's suits for early spring wear va.
riety of jacket models of this type ana or
the semitailored order are seen in tue
local show rooms. Some are quite PAM
others have half belts, while still others are
made with belts that go all the way around
the figure. Wide latitude in the treatment or
pockets is seen.
Some Of the jackets button up close 10
the throat Of the wearer while others open
in a long V to show neat waistcoats or a
contrasting material. In some the yoke Is
made use of, while others are made more
attractive by the use of plating. Ihe
barrel effect is seen in the lines Of some
Of the newer ones The most popular
womcn's jackets appear to he of hip length,
while for misses and small women the Eton
and bolero types are seen.
The suit skirts, for the most part, are
made plain and none too wide. They are
comfortably short. In some of the latest
ones the barrel vogue is affected where it
is not outlined i'm the jacket. The most pop
ular fabrics include satin, faille and Jer-
scy cloth--both wool and silk--gabardnes,
poplins, serges, velours, etc. Black, blue,
tan, and the general run of pastel shades
are seen in the colorings. In sport suits
an almost indescribable array of models and
colorings is offered to the buyer.
