No matter what effects are accepted
a. definite style notes there are al
ways some garments which break en-
tirely away from the evident dictates
of fashion and become ever more
stylish by doing so. In the lace of
Dame Fashion who has said, mo suit
without a vest,' this dressy suit bursts
forth without yer a hint OF a vest.
And what is more. it would be impos-
sible to a vest with it.
1t is fashioned Of beige Poiret twill
and a striking touch is added by the
bow tie and sash belt Of navy blue
satin. The coat is barely more than
hip length with a three-tiered peplum.
The side fastening SO oddly cut makes
n forget that the vest Of the hour
is missing. Note also the cuff on the
bottom of the skirt which helps in the
conservation Of material. It is to be
remembered that no garment car
claim a style distinction this year un-
less it conserves material.
The hat worn with the suit is a
black hemp heavily yelled. or rather
swathed. in black tulle. The actual
shape of the hat is a turned up brim
on the chin-chin order, but the tulle
gives it the effect of a large turban.
Black paradise placed at the side
front gives height to the hat. The
parasol is a dainty and very frail
thing Of black. chiffon.
