New WeaVeS and
Shades in Serge

with scroll of darker gray. Inc
vestee is loosely hung over the puS'
and at the hips is wrapped in loose
sash effect, very baggy ana wen ue
low the waist line. The sleeves are
finished with a cuff placed INSIDE tne
blue and made of the gray scroiieu
silk.
Of course tricollete, tricoline anu
other knitted fabrics are newer tla,
all others. and will be smart lhdeeV
Gabardine and whipcord are extreme
lv fashionable as well, and an OLD ma
terial. always fTvorite and dehslil-
fully exploited this year, is SILK poplin,
This is particularly suited for reai
warm weather, and makes a pleasing
suit with p silken sheen that IS love
". and it also drapes gracefully.
observe a tendency to much braid
inc. both in the fiat, narrow sllhen
braids. of which row after row Is useu
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 a tan whipcord' tllree
rows of a heavy silken cord OF dark
er shade being placed side by siae W
form q collar at the back and extend
ing along the front side OF the DON
coat. At the waist the CORDS pass
through a small flap of the whipcord
and end in an ornamental nat siiheh
disk at the bottom.
Gives the PulIed-in Effect.
The fiat silk braid is used TO give
the pulled-in effect at the bottom OF
the skirt, where one row will be placed
above the other nearly to the depth
of the knees. Again wider braid ap-
pears in multitude of small loops
set in rows along the bottom of the
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 coats, are the distinguishing
feature of this years model. These
little colored accessories are JOY 10
the eve and are exceedingly becoming
to most figures.
Some of the newest are of Organdie
with little bibs for the upper part and
an apron effect at the bottom, which
is worn outside in the front. Narrow
strings hold it in place in the back
and these little strings, tied in DOW
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. It is very good when made up
perfectly plain at the top and finished
at the bottom in Il series of very wide
tucks placed one above the other and
showing as the box coat falls away
in the front. 1t is not possible to de-
scribe the beauty and richness of the
new brocades which are used in this
fashion They are of almost barbaric
splendor in blending of superb col
ors with silver and gold threads.
OF course the gilet now and then
has a sash to give draped line over
the hips, such as shown in the London
model | have mentioned above, but
as vet 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.
We shall tire of these gorgeous bits
of color as the weather grows warm
er and demand the simpler things Of
batiste organdie and washable fab
RIGS so much a part of the summer and
so crisp and fresh. Pique and linen
have been cleverly blended in smart
waistcoat with the narrowest of black
satin piping showing between the rows
of the tiny pleats of linen, such as ap-
pear in mems shirts. 1t is understood,
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
dlclleys in small boys sailor suits.
