With tao Gdvent of top coats. which
this season of the year heralds, one
piece street gowns once more make
their bow. Modish fabrics for these
are velveteen, paulette, jersey, serge
and tricotine Nor is a gown to he
seen which is not embroidered, braid
ed, or corded. Women evidently have
no intention Of being sober clad
moths, but rather gorgeous hutrer-
flies judging by the newest o. these
one piece gowns. Most of them are
enlivened by some establishment of
scarlet or cerise. The one pictured is
fashioned Of navy blue tricotine, cut
in the long Russian blouse effect It
is trimmed with fine black silk braid
and heavy, scarlet slip floss. TTico-
tine covered buttons ornament the
skirt and sleeves. A front opening
effect is stimulated by tiny row of
gilt buttons applied to narrow inset
of cream satin. A shallow. cream satin
collar falls from the back, sailor
fashion. The distinctive feature of
this mode is the 'cuartette Of tucked
pockets. The gown closes at the
shoulder and side, narrow belt of
the tricotine combining the loose waist
line.
