OF n clever combination of the two
sorts Of thread. The latter, they say,
wears better than all the rest put to-
gether. II does not show that evil
characteristic Of mating Into mashed
spot at the place where the suit is
subjected to rubbing. However. so fine
and well made are most of these piled
fabrics that when MASKING does occur
II can very easily be removed by n
little judlcious steamIng.
The colors OF these newest OF fab
rics are perhaps their greatest charm,
for II has been many years since we
women have been able 10 indulge In
such subtleties OF color expression.
All the way from the brightest and
most glowing Of shades to those TINT
are verify neutral In their effect is the
range OF color tones, and while most
OF the suits run to browns or to one
OF the numerous taupe shades, still
there are some made from the gor-
geous blue and green tones that make
up so well with the gray furs and 9TH
ers In the reddish shades that are SO
effective when combined with the
darker brown and black, both long and
short haired furs.
Coats Are Notleeably Long.
The coats on the newest of all the
suits that are being worn are quite
noticeably long-so long. In fact, that
but the merest bit OF a skirt hangs
out. for, with the present rage In New
York for skirts that arc short ana
with this added favor for longer coats
there Is left but n small portion of
space that can be allotted TO the skirt.
There are reasons 10 be thankful for
this, the latest whim OF fashion, too.
For, while the legs that protrude
from the short line OF the skirt must
necessarily be cold, still upon the re-
naming portion of the body two lay
ers OF material are lavlshed-more
than we have had to keep out the
chilly blasts In many winters gone by.
Some OF the coats are fitted quite
snugly. following the lines Of the fig
ure, and then again many OF them are
made full enough 10 make n tightish
belt necessary to gather the fullness
together about the waist.
There Is one exception to the longer
coat, and that Is the little box coat,
which has 10 be short In order to carry
out It's character. II reaches high
hip line this season. and Is single
breasted-and Il is more apt 10 be

on the extreme edge OF the coat, so
that they looked more like wide
binding for the coat than they did like
conventional pockets.
Skirts Are Quite Short.

quite short. Some OF them might
be called too short for beauty OF pro-
portion, but, be that as Il may. the
longer skirt as yet looks out OF place
In and around New York. The widths
of the skirts are still moderate. and
they are as straight as cnn be In line,
