Shades in Serge

with scroll of darker gray. The
vestee is loosely hung over the bust
and at the hips Is wrapped in loose
sash effect, very baggy, and well be-
low the waist line. The sleeves are
finished with cuff placed inside the
blue and made of the gray scrollcd
silk.
OF course tricOllete, tricOline and
other knitted fabrics are newer than
all others, and will be smart indeed.
Gabardine and whipcord are extreme
~ fashionable as well, and an old ma
terial, always favorite and delight
fully exploited this year. is silk poplin.
This is particularly suited for real
warm weather, and makes II pleasing
suit with n silken sheen that Is love
ly, and it also Grapes gracefully.
l observe a tendency to much braid
ing, both in the fiat, narrow sllken
braidS, of which row after row is used
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 whlpcord, three
rows Of heavy silken cord Of dark
err shade being placed side by side to
form a collar at the back and extend
ing along the front side of the box
coat. At the waist the cords pass
through a small flap of the whlpcord
and end in an ornamental fiat silken
disk at the bottom.
Gives the Puled-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 APP
pears in a 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 to
the eye 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 bow,
crisp and fluffy show out from under
meath the coat.
Tricolette, which is so silky and made
in such beautiful tolorS, Is one of the
best materials to use for the tailored
vest. 1t is very good when made up
perfectly plain at the top and finished
at the bottom in q 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 sash to give draped line over

as yet the box coat for the greater

low the waist line that the sash does
not appear and is not necessary.
