with a scroll OF darker gray. The
vestee Is loosely hung over the bust
and at the hips is wrapped in loose
sash effect, very baggy, and well be-
low the waist line. The sleeves are
finished with a cuff placed inside the
blue and made of the gray scrolled
silk.
I OF course tricollete, tricoline and
other knitted fabrics are newer than

Gabardine and whipcord are extreme

braids, of which row after row Is used
and placed both on the skirt and coat.
and also the heavy silken cords are
much used. The latter appears in an
unusual effect in tan whipcord, three
rows of heavy silken cord Of dark
er shade being placed side by side to
form collar at the back and extend

The fat silk braid is used to give
the pulled-in effect of the bottom of
the skirt. where one row will be placed
above the other nearly to the depth
Of the knees. Again wider braid mp

skirt and coat.
OF course we have all noted that the
vest, waistcoat, gilet or blouse, what
ever one chooses to call the smart lit
tie things we will wear underneath
our box coatD, are the distinguishing
feature of this years model. These
little colored accessories are n Joy to
the eye and are exceedingly becoming
to most figures.
Some of the newest are of organdle
with little bibs for the upper part and
an apron effect at the bottom, which
Is worn outside in the front. Narrow
strings hold 1t in place In the back
and these little strings, tied in bow,
crisp and fluffy, show out from under
meath the coat.
Tricolette, which Is so silky and made
In such beautiful colors. Is one of the
best materials to use for the tailored
vest. 1t Is very good when made up
perfectly plain at the top and finished
at the bottom In series Of very wide
tucks placed one above the other and

new brocades which are used in this
fashion. They nre OF almost barbaric
splendor In blending Of superb col
ors with silver and gold threads.
OF course the gilet now and then
has sash to give drnped line over
the hips. such as shown in the London
model / have mentioned above, but
as yet the box coat for the greater
number Of models reaches so far be-
low the waist line that the sash does
not appear. and is not necessary.

have been cleverly blended In a smart
waistcoat with the nnrrowest of black
satin piping showing between the rows
of the tiny pleats Of linen. such as ap.

I am sure, that few gilets show any
collars, but fasten at the shoulders
or button around the neck under the
coat In the back just like the little
dickeys In small boys sailor suits.
