by this blouse that comes just above II.
And anything that produces the effect OF
yo"thflllness, slcnderness below the
waist, is sure to find reception In the
American We mans wardrobe, Some
times witt. Wis bloused back the front
hangs loose. sometimes II crosses over
In n wide shawl collar and asain there
Is a belted-ln front. But the suit h, ted
all around seems to have seen its ddy
Something to lie Avoided.
Another back treatment that you will
have to select from In the loose, straight
back In the Jacket that extends TO the
knees, q mode that needs more than
average grace to carry 1t off. There Is
certain tall, straight, athletic, wide
ssouldered type of American girl that
should religously avoid this long-coated,
straight up-and-down suit Jacket and
the chances are that she will know
enough to do so,
The suit Jacket with the shoulder cape
gives somewhat tie same effect as that
os the bloused back suit. II Ia draped,
or rather hung, from the shoulders In
the back and tends in the same way to
minimize the breadth below the waist
by widening the silhouette above. II Is
doubtful, however, whether these capped
suit models gain any considerable foot
hold. They are one of the picturesque
productions suggestive OF period cos
tuming-a sort OF thing that does not
seem TO find ready acceptance by the
American woman for her daytime
clothes.
The three-plece suit that appears and
rea0pears in the new things Of Made
lelne ct Madeleine and several other
French houses Is more to the French taste
than ours II really amounts to nothing
more or less than slock with a jacket
10 wear with II. One Of the things tfat
the American woman especially wants
and one that she does not get when she
buys a three piece frock Is the variety
In possible blouse selections II Is part
Of the extreme dalntiness sof the Amerl-
can woman that always recommends the
separate blouse that can be put on fresh
every few wearings. 1t Is this that
recommends the suit to her over the
heads OF the suit frock In which there
is no such possibility sof frequent clean
ipgs and changings as there is with the
suit that may be worn with the separate
blouse.
About Fur Trimming.
To say that the suits were not tur
trimmed would be far from true--for
there are many such shown by the
shops among medium and very high
| priced suits But the tendency to the
furless suit Is growing among the dress
making establishments whose customers
are recruited from women Of wealth and
much discrimination. While ninety
women out OF hundred would wear
quite willingly a suit trimmed with
Australian opossum, or the less choice
| Of fox peltry, and would perhaps not
insist on the pedigree Of the mole or seal
that adorned collars and cuffs. other
women with a do-or-dle policy in furs
would rather wear no furs at all, or
else sable, real seal or black fox And
| the woman who has exquisite furs of
the choicest sort does not certainly want
| 10 leave item home In favor of the less
choice furs on her suit. That Is why
one dressmaker Of distinction will shake
| her head sccptically when YOU suggest
| fur trimming on your new suit, and
, then you will go down TO the smart
shopping district and see fur-trimmed
suits In half the shop windows.
As for fabrics there is an unmistak-
able vogue for velvets and various rich
| pile fabrics. but in line with Paquin
| and some Of the other French houses,
