ever. some designers says that full
circular tunics and skirts will be
worn. Simple straight lines with the
slightest suggestion of fulness over
the hips are still another style that
persists in coming over.
Bright colors are coming back and
for spring and summer they are very
welcome Soft dull shades of almost
every color are seen in the new top
coats. The loose movement from the
waist line up is particularly smart
this season. especially when the skirt
outlines the figure.

will probably be the length that VIII

ming suit is shown in sand coloured
tricotine with a fine white pique
waistcoat and a black patent leather
belt. The coat is slim, straight and
belted at the natural waist. 1t has
no collar or fastening arrangement,
but is held III place by the belt

three quarter length coat of straight
and slim silhouette is shown in one
model and is made of a dark grey
mixture. The collar and an edging
which forms a trimminga are in
darker grey mixture and are stitched
onto the main part of the coat. The
model is fastened with one button at
the side and is lined with a black and
white plaid wool material The skirt
which is finely pleated, is in the same
plaid wool material. The costume is
particularly smart for walking, motor

this type need not be reserved for
the country alone for they will be
worn great deal in town this
spring A particularly smart tam

satin and olive green straw in
most unusual way is also shown. The
shape itself is stiff, although it fol-

cap. pearl pin trims the front. This
is an excellent first hat to be worn
Joffre blue Japanese straw is used
in a hat and bag to match. They
are trimmed most attractively with
patches of Indian print embroidered
in colured threads and leaves. The

of the Indian print finished with an
Oriental tassel in bright colours. 1t

a round medium high crown. A band
OF purple velvet ribbon encircles it
and ends in a stiff aeroplane bow at
the front.

in many Of the simple tailored suits
for country wear. In the model at
the lower left on this page. a dark
grey mixture is trimmed with black
stitching. The deep shawl collar
which is a new feature of many of
the tailored suits. continues around
