A Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Ros

A Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose
THE latter part of last summer tri-
Il colette dresses were extremely
popular in New York and at that time
it seemed almost necessary to have at
least one in the outfit, but this year
though 1t is a bit early TO judge, to be
sure. for the warmer weather may bring
them out-they are seen very little. Tri-
colette is by no means out of fashion. 1t
is, think, used just as much as if not
more than last year, but instead of its
being used for dresses, tricolette is
favored for summer suits and capes.
The plain variety is used great deal
for suits, but the best looking suits
that l have seen have been of fancy
weave tricolette. This fancy weave tri-
colette usually has corded effect in
stripes about an inch apart.
The suit depicted today is made of
this fancy tricoctte and is one of the
smartcst looking suits of the kind that
I have seen This is of a tan shade, with
n plain skirt. made full enough for
comfort. The coat is of the slip va
riety and is banded at the lower edge
with the material. used with stripes of
the material going around the body and
decorated at the sides with row OF
buttons. Buttons also trim the sleeves,
and fasten the front Of the coat and the
narrow belt. The collar is made with
the stripes of the tricolette, diagonal.
The hat is Of taffeta decorated at the
side of the turned-up brim with an
ornament made of ribbon.
Inauiries are solicited and may be
addressed care Of this newspaper

Summer Suit in Shantung

- Natural colored shantung combined
with small piece of Chinese embroid-

the smartest kind of summer suit and
the whole combination has the advan-

tung lends itself prettily to the pcplum

bloused and belted in. The piece of
Chinese embroidery is used as vest
and to brighten the collar and cuffs.
