| ana Chinese green, but over here we commonly speak of it as apple and cu- cGnber green. It has a luscious tint, and the scientists will persuade you that 1t relieves the eye from strain more than any other color that can be worn in hot weather. The woman who thinks it is unpecoining, can easily relieve her anX- l lsLy py putting white at the shoulders.
 Therefore, the color of a cucumber and the cool threads of linen that has lain oh the riVer banks for months, are made iiltq Jacket suits for the American wom- . .tn Who must stand the heat of this con- tinent through July andy August
 The Jacket which is promoted for these new suits is quite different from it's predecessor It does not cling to the igure after it leaves the waist. It flares outward like miniature minaret tu- , nic-the kind that Poiret made us all wear about six years ago
 Ine sketch shows such a suit The snort, green linen skirt curves in at the knees, and the short. green linen jacket curves out at the hips. The sleeves of this coat are loose, or as loose as those worn by mandarin, and the waistcoat IS as warm as that worn by a golfer on Scottish links, which shows that both women and designers are never consist ent when 1t comes to clothes This "tiiStSOtl IS Ol kHlIIeQ green and Wn1te wool, and it spreads outward into an immense cape collar. One may substi- ute for it waistcoat of white pique, which would not only be more becoming, but infinitely more comfortable THE COAT THAT FLARES There are many women who like relief from the straight jacket with it's slim, boyish lines and it's tendency to flatten the figure; therefore, this out ward flaring jacket, which, the designers say, has a significant note, is eagerly grasped at for new summer clothes.
 It is not only built of linen. for these cool everyday suits that are worn in stead of one-piece frocks, but it is shown in thin summer serge and taffeta. It fits snugly at the shoulders and armholes and is quite slim and attenuated in it's downward lines to the waist, but from there on it ceases to be conservative and flares well away from the snug hip-line of the skirt.
 It accentuates the narrowness of the skirt without question, and possibly wonn- en like this, for they have all accepted the fashion for skirts that appear to be little more than the sarong of the Japa- nese woman.

 New ork.-Everything is not as it was in coat fashions. There is sufficient change to keep interest stimulated and to persuade coin out of purses. The woman who is sewing at home and has taken up the idea of a coat and skirt as substitute for q frock, shows new and unwonted interest in the cut of jack cts that are intended to be worn during warm weather; but she has been brought to a point of acceptance by the persua- sion of the designers, who say that the separate skirt and wash blouse make | singularly unbecoming costume It has many and marked demerits It spells the figure, unless one is 20 years old and has the proportions of a planked shad, and it is expensive because wash skirts need constant laundering, and this means money.
 One also tires of the one-piece frock and therefore the skirt and jacket of cool material. made on simple lines, to be used for the open air, makes a strong appeal to ones sense of change, economy and attractiveness.
 SUITS OF COLORED LINEN
 Why is it that linen is still offered to women for summer apparel is a question
 
 the problem.
 There must have been good deal of leftover linen fabric in this country, which, because of it's coloring, could not be used for anything but clothes There fore, it is offered along with gingham, muslin and crepe.
 If one tries to get linen for napery CT for beds, the tenseness of the situation is at once apparent. One is informed that thefe may never be another i1npor- tation of linen during the life of this generation and that the small collections left in this country must be sold at an immense price.
 Yet linen clothes for women are still to be had at a reasonable price, so if woman likes linen and realizes that it is the coolest fabric that can be put next to the skin, it is wise for her to indulge that fancy at the present hour
