Etamine and organdie are combined
in one model.
The tunic has quietly stepped into
fashion again.
Serge and satin are combined in tail
Ored costumes.
Young girls evening frocks are still

Nearly all the new coats are loosely
belted In front.
Yellow and wistaria are fashionable
evening shades.
Suede trimmings are seen on the
new velours suits.
Many Spanish notions are seen in
the new millinery.
Foulard is used great deal in max
ing summer frOcks.
String colored cloth frocks have en-
broidery in navy blue.
The newest outfit for spring is the
frockS and the short coat.
A gray military cape lined with yell
low is immensely fetching.
Golden bronze is one of the new col
ors introduced in suits and frOcks.
Keeping up with sweaters is a seri-
Gus proposition. A new model is made
of two colors, one above and the other
below the waist line. Sometimes a
wide decorative band is used at the
bottom.

POLO VESTS FOR SPORT WEAR
Women Adopt Gilets or Waistcoats
Which Have Been Taken Bodily
From Mems Apparel.

The true polo player wears his vest
buttOned higher in the neck than the
polo vests of modern feminine attire,
and he would not permit braid and
buttons on it, but the scarlet jersey
vest, with it's white collar and full
sleeves of organdie, topped by a hat
with a yiSored brim, is so suggestive
of the costume Of polo player that
one instantly sees in it the suitability
for outdoor sports.
These gilets or waistcoats, which
have been bodily taken from mems
apparel, are excessively smart Some
women are trying to buy them ready
TO wear in the mems departments of
the smart haberdashery places; others
are making them at home from pat
terms easily obtained from the waist
coats owned by the men of the family.
Gayly colored jersey cloth, the worst
ed, not the silk weave, is the really
smart thing in gilet, and braid and
buttons, as well as little pockets down

Picturesque "Cabriolet" Model.

cess almost entirely on their uncommon
outline. This year, more than ever,
elaborate and heavy trimmings are
given no place in the millinery world.
Certainly it is true that some of the
spring hats intended for afternoon or
restaurant wear show effective ar
rangement of flowers, or even feathers,
but deliberately trimmed hats are con-
Spicuous by their absence.
The beautiful "cabriOIet'' model il
tustrated here is a shape which is GER
tain of triumphant career
This is hat which would prove spe-
cialy becoming to American women,
and it is the correct hat to wear with
tailored suits of serge or cloth, or even
with handsome satin dress at res
taurant dinner. This is d genuine
cloche shape, but the crown is not en-
tirely Lamballe, though the outline sug-
gests the Marie Antoinette period.
The original model, created by Pa
quin, was made of dull black satin and
lined with raspberry-pink chip. There
of the crown being SO cleverly arranged
that a rich effect vas obtained by the
most simple means. Long strings Of
soft black satin ribbon were added and
these strings, instead of being tied
were carelessly thrown round the neck,
the ends falling at the back. This hat
would look lovely in dark violet panne,
with lining of black chip and strings
of violet satin ribbon, or in wine-red
velvet.
Lewis has revived the ribbon hats
with which he had such a success a
few years ago hats covered with plain
or interlaced ribbons and lined with
chip or pedal straw. These little hats
are quite charming and eminently use
full. They are SO simple that they can
be worn in the early morning with a
severely plain tailored suit and yet
they are so decorative that, with the
addition of a single rose or a cocarde
Of beaded tulle, they are dressy enough
for the most ceremonious occasion.
