half low bodice of white chiffon
edged with Kid and sash Of the
plain kid edged with gold braid. Ber-
nard is another house that sponsors
the perforated kid gown. ~
BY the way, there is chance for q
popular novelty in this sash of supple
white kid. 1t is not long, merely. q
four-inch girdle with the regulation
bow and ends about ten inches long
at the back. The gold galloon at the
edge gives 1t character. -
The shops could line it with colored
chiffon or satin and present it as an
accessory. 1t would be a commenda-
BILE addition to several kinds of one-
piece frocks, especially those Of dark
blue serge and gabardine or sport
frocks. of colored linen. Martial ct
Armand show another kid gown which
they insist Is for sports and especial-
ly for the Americans. 1t is>of pals
pink trimmed with fur; there is q
long tunic and n short narrow skirt
and u girdle. It. looks as though III
might be pale pink broadcloth. One
has to handle it to find out that 1t. Ia

The American woman wore brown
g k f,tc
for genuine sports. you remember, and
she may not feel as though she would,
like to play golf in a suit OF pale pink
kid and black fur. but it should prove
an admirable fashion for the winter
in Palm Beach. Bernard on the Ave-
nue. de rOpera also features colored
and white kid; he makes an admirable
belted storm coat OF pale brown kid
with a high collar that protects the
entire face except the eyes; It Is lined
with a heavy woolen cloth, is beige
colored and fastened with kid covered
buttons.

He also makes a storm. coat of, high
1y polished black. leather, which
.houid be called Gloucester" for It
is highly reminiscent OF the glisten-
ing coats worn by the fishermen WHO
go to the banks from the New Eng
land coast. This coat has d short
cape that becomes q tight hood, fas-
teaing In paeats over each temple. s.
This idea. of making a cape serve as
a. hood is4carried .out in another Ell
velopinge motor coat Of fur and duye-
tyn, which Is. the kind of wrap ono
would think any suburbanite would
grasp at for evening wear. He also
makes an enveloping cape Of peror-
ated white kid trimmed with sable.
Blythe way. as this house stands for
ono Of the best types of tailored suit
ana caters strongly to tho American
trade.4,it is well to know that his
coats drop to the knees ovef skirts
that are narrow and Of moderate
length; they have every, kind. Of ma
nipulation iof drapery at the hips to
give width. but this drapery IL placed
below the actual waist line for 4
Few inches and this modification
makes the skirt practical.s The coats
have fullness at the hips. but 1t 10
supple and not outstanding. The
sides are longer than the front and
back. as rule. an irregularity which
exists In nearly all the new French
coats. They also have directoire col.
lars, immense things that envelop the
chin. They are of fur. or Of the ma
terial, and button in front or at the
side! In truth, there is quite Beau,
Brunlmel air. about the mannequin>

lored suits. ...,-.s, ,:s4s sa
Fluted rufiies have also appeared.
not with suits. but with frocks. Blue
serge gowns for young women have
high standing collars Of pleated white
linen which end in pointed rufies
down the front. These ruffies do not
meet: they show about an inch Of
skin between. OFTEN there Is q string
cravat Of black satin ribbon tied at

top and a fan-shaped pleated hem
