cut up Mt either side to allow the belt
TO pass through.
In this model, as In many other re-
cent creations, the ceinturc does not
show ut all ut the back, where the
coat molds the figure. The skirt was
rather short and tight, but there was
nothing exaggerated In the outline. A
very attractive notion connected with
this suit was the picturesque stock tie
OF black and white foulard.
These stock ties are immensely pop-
ular this winter and they are made OF
many different materials silk, foulard,
wool, spotted crepe, etc. They give
an effective finishing touch to a simple
blouse, and when made of knitted wool
they keep the throat quite warm with
out the addition Of a fur tic. The coat
shown In the sketch could be fastened
right up to the neck II desired.
