Diary Of Fashion Model
She Declares That the Sash Is "The Thing" Eton Suits

I She is going to copy this sash to wear
with her suit.
The suit in my sketch is dark blue
tricotine. The rounded line Of the front
gives n curve to the bust line, which Is
a good point of tailoring. Madame es-
pecially recommends this feature ON the
plain jacket.
The reveres are notched and are youth
fully becoming. The jacket fastens with
black bone buttons, and bone buttons
link the sleeves.
Two curved pockets that follow the
line of the curved seams in front are
very effective. The inevitable arrow
heads embroidered in black silk Aoss
complete these pockets.
Now ! must tell you about the sash.
I've been saving that important item of
the suit for the last.
It Is black charmeuse satin Of a very
soft. supple weave. and ID Is cut long
enough to reach twice around the body,
crossing in the back and tying in front
at the left side.
The ends are embroidered in gayly-
colored worsteds in bright greens.

When Madame adjusted this sash
around my waist and took the last sur
veying glance at the model she said that
this sash might also carry fringe to
match the colored flowers IL any Gus
toner wanted to have IL that way.
You will observe that the skirt is
gathered around the waistline. and that
the fulness Is very pretty, falling be-
meath the skirt and sash.

ut would be quite effective" she re-
piled. though it would be prettier with

1 also asked Madame IN what colors
she was going to reproduce this suit.
I'm gray or In reindeer tan il any one
insists on changing the color" she re-
piled. But think no color is as smart
as blue for an Elton suit
! agreed with Madame as ! put on the
little Chinese hat am to wear with this
model. 1t IS black straw strapped with
the various bright colors found I'm the

straps are made from taffeta cut on the
