New York. April 2s.-At the be-
ginning of each season, for a num-
Der of years. those interested in
suits from a commercial standpoint
have predicted revival of the
vogue for the tailored suit. with
the same regularity at the finish of
each season the sales OF dresses
were found to be far In excess of
the number OF suits sold. II Is. of
course, very much too early in the
season to strike any sort OF an aver
age between the sales Of suits and
dresses. but the fact nevertheless
remains that every suit department
| has broken its records for years
past in the number of suits sold, and
there is no letting up of the demand
from women for suits.
This demand for suits has been
somewhat OF a surprise to many. as
there was considerable doubt as to
the suits taking at all. on account
OF the extremely high prices asked
for even the simplest of models.
However. women have seemed to
have plenty of mony to invest in
clothes. as the best sellers have
been the expensive styles.
Possibly much OF the success OF tho
suits is due to the fact that there
was so little change in the dress
models OF this season from those
shown last spring either In material
or design, that the women have found
i II very easy to make the same frocks
do for another year. While on the
, other hand. the suit OF this year is
decidedly different from anything
shown for a number OF years
The suits Of this spring are not
only different. but there Is much about
them that Is appealing to women. One
OF the most interesting of these fea-
lures is the delightful little vests
that are a part Of almost all OF these
suits. In many instances the vest is
very elaborate as well as costly and
therefore adds much to the expense
~ the suit.
I am showing you today a very
interesting model, In which as you
see the vest .plays a very important
part. The suit Is constructed OF tan
tricotine. The skirt, while on the
narrow straight lines, has consider
able cut. The jacket Is bloused and
the fronts embroidered with tan and
navy blue silk. The small turned
down collar and the lower part Of the
sleeves are embroidered in the same
manner. The vest and the soft sash
are Of navy blue satin. Inquiries are
solicited and may be addressed care

But the title did not give me the
right to help the boy choose a
bride. Even mothers haven't that
right. according to my theory.
To be sure. the average woman
is always in her smuggest mood
when she plays the matchmaker.
but in playing that game she often
makes tragic mistakes. Match
makers feed the divorce courts with
the sad results of their advice.
