OF a clever combination Of the two
sorts of thread The latter, they say,
wears better than all the rest put to-
gether. 1t does not show that evil
Characteristic Of mating into a 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
IL can very easily be removed by a
little Judicious steaming.
The colors of these newest of fab
RIGS are perhaps their greatest charm.
for Ii has been many years since we
women have been able TO indulge in
such subtIeties of color expression.
All the way from the brightest and
most glowing Of shades to those that
are verify neutral in their effect is the
range Of color tones, and while most
of the suits ruE % 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 we'll with the gray fairs 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 NoticeabIy Long.
The coats on the newest of all the
suits that are being worn are quite
noticeably long-so long. I'm fact, that
but the merest bit of a skirt hangs
out, for, with the present rage in New
York for skirts that are short and
with this added favor for longer coats
there is left but a small portion of
space that can be allotted to. the skirt.
There are reasons to be thankful for
this, the latest within of fashion, too
For. while the legs that protrude
from the short line of the skirt must
necessarily be cold. still upon the re-
manning. portion of the body two lay
ers of material are avished-more
than we have had TO keep out the
chilly blasts i'm many winters gone by.
Some OF the coats are fitted quite
snugiy, following the lines of the fig
ure, and then again many of them are
made full enough TO make a tightish
belt necessary to gather the fulIness
together about the waist.
There is one exception to the longer
coat, and that is the little box coat,
which has TO be short in order to carry
out its character. 1t reaches high
hip line this season, and is single
breasted-sand it Is more apt to ne
nlade up from the homespun mzteri-
ais as it Is a little more outdoors in
style than are some of the other cuts.
One particularly smart box coat had
a rather marrow rolled collar of Dea-
Yer with pockets of the same fur set
oR the extreme edge OF the coat, so
that they looked more ike wide
b5nding for the coat than they did like
conventional pockets.
Skirts Are Quite Short
From all the skirts that could be
noticed the conclusion was drawn fhat
they are still Sin our midst and, all
prophecies about French tendencies to
the contrary Notwithstanding, quite.
quite short Some OF ta2em might
be called too short for beauty of pro-
portion, but, be that as 1T may, the
longer skirt as yet looks out of place
in and around New York The widths
of the skirts are still moHerate. and
they are as straight as can be in line.
with just enough room left 10 ALLOW
step 30 be made in comfort and ease.
There is no skirt that retars1s walking
in any way.
The sleeves eff the very incest of the
suits are fitted to the last degree of
perfection. The armholes are as small
as they possibly can be and Still re-
main in the class OF the perfect At"
Our American suit shows not the least
tendency TO go large and kimono+lfke
in the armhOle. 1t keeps the we'll
made tailored look. and sometimes it
is astonishing TO see how far back an
armhoIe can go and still keep its un-
interrupted contour.
