severe impairment OF quoted values a

Altogether the session witnessed the

TAILORED SUIT IS FAVORITE
Coat Outfit Depicts Supreme Art
Which Has Been Mastered by
American Manufacturers.

For so long time now women have
come to accept the tailored coat suit
as the very foundation of their ward
robes that it Is the first consideration
as the seasons, change. Especially Is
this true of the average woman whose
wishes are controlled by expediency
and determined by absolute need.
There is no doubt about the fact that
American manufacturers have devel-
oped the supreme art in the making Of
the coat suit. 1t is now possible to
buy such suits, so well built, so per-
fectly designed, that few tailors can
excel. for as great care is given to de-
fail as the master makers themselves
can show.
Some foreign critic has said that
there is such a monotOny about the
clothes of American women that it is
as if everyone were trying to be as
much like her neighbor as possible, and
originality is an unknown sartorial art
in this country. This critic must have
referred to the blue serge suits, for ii
lis undeniably the custom to clothe OuT-
selves In dark blue, resting secure in
the choice of color and it's suitability
for all occasions.

OVERBLOUSE OF THE FRENCH
Garments Have Apron Fronts ard
coquettish Little Sashes OF
the Material.

French women are wearing the over
blouse in each of its many versions.
There are some that end at the waist
line in the back and are finished to so
over the skirt with an inch-wide rib
bon of unusual weave and usually In
contrasting color. After finishing the
back of the blouse these colOrful rib
bons slip through loops made by but
tonhole stitching to tie over the apron
front. The fronts of many of these
short back blOuSes take their inSpira-
ton from the waistcoat of the past
winter.
Organdie overblouses are very
smart. They have apron fronts and
coquettish little Sashes of the material
edged with real lace. These new or
candle blouses could be combined with
separate skirts of organdie to make an
attractive summer frock.
The late imports of blouse almost
invariably feature the short sleeve,
usually cut on kimono lines or set into
a very loose armhole.
The fastening of the blouse appears
to be a movable thing. 1t may close
on one shoulder or on both, in the back,
in the front, or it may not fasten ut
all, merely slipped on over the head.
