vogue for widened hip lines, but they
do not actually widen the figure at all.
The suit is made of dark brown tricO-
tine.
The model at the left is an interpre-
tation of the Russian blouse suit, al
ways dear to the thin woman. The
plain skirt is shoe-top length. The
coat has a full blouse and skirt
gathered in at the natural waist line,
giving fullness about the hips. 1t Is
short enough to break the figure and
prettily decorated with a round silk
braid couched on. In this coat the
choEer collar is made of Opossum fur
and arranged to fasten up about the
chin. In the other suit, fur is left out.
but the popular choker collar is re.
tanned, made Of the fabric and decor
ated with carefully done embroidery.
For the blouse suit, one Of those new
cloths that have a silyery sheen, due
to mapped surface of gray tone
(Which is used with all cOlors) looks
particularly well with the gray tones
in the fur collar.
Alas, yes! suits are expensive es-
pecialIy when embroidered. But clever
women have been known to buy plain
suit and put embroidery on it them
selves, thereby saving about SIS and
presenting themselves with an exclu-
slve design.

The separate. skirt has extended Its
neld Of usefulness and entered the
ranks of apparel for morning, noon
and night. 1t appears this season in
such stuff as nets and lace, trimmed
with crystal beads or jet and with
sequins, or one runs across it in brill
liant velvets, beautifully draped, in
models meant to glow or twinkle under
the lights of evening.
To be worn at the other end of the
day and on the street there are very
handsome skirts of plain or striped,
or cross-barred wooden materials. They
are in quiet colors. as taupe, brown,
dark blue, black and white combina-
tons. Among the handsomest there
are models made OF materials having
broad diagonal stripes, laid in fiat box
plaits. Each plat breaks the stripe
and is stitched down or pressed in
from the waist line downward.
Besides these varieties there is the

To say the least, suits for fall have
been presented in greatly varying
styles, much to the satisfaction of
women who aspire to looking more
slender than they really are, as well as
those whose aspirations are all in the
spther direction. In spite of the per-
sistence with which fashion artists
sdraw attenuated ladies, in writhing
poses, for our admiration, women con-
tinue sensible enough to object 10
looking angular and skinny. The de-
signers Of suits have been kind and
there are new models for the too slen-
der and The too stout figure. The pos
SCISSOR of a model thirty-six," or any
other model Of good proportions, can
choose any Of the various styles.
AT the right of the two suits, shown
in the picture above, is model that
will simply shave off pounds from the
stout figure. Long and gently irving
lines, almost unbroken from Il to
heels, are cleverly calculated 10 de-
ceiye the eye and smooth out the sharp
curves in stout figures. American wOm-
en- having insisted on longer skirts,
Paris accepted their decree, and, this
suit takes advantage of the mode to go
to an extreme of It. BY this means
the figure Is heightened. The coat fol.
lows the same strategy and note that
the waist line is indicated as very
long by the group of three narrow
tucks in the back of the coat that end
In an arrow head. or "crow toes far
below the normal waistline. Silk en-
broidery on two fiat strips of cloth
applied at the sides Is in the same
color as the suit. These bands are
concession or recognition of the
