out in buttons, which are black. with
inset disks Of white and of an unusual
oblong shape. The lining OF the coal

Several OF the exclusive dressmak-
ing establishments are making bl0uSes
Of fine white linen. batiSte or organize,
10 accompany their tailored suits.
These tuck in at the waistIfne and
close In the front after the manner of
sport shirt or q plain shirtwaiSt.
The chief interest in these houses lies
In their collars, which are Of the pIait-
ed ruff variety. reminiscent Of the days
Of Queen Elizabeth. Some take the
form of wide f1uted trills falling from
the top of a straight tight lifting COL
lar that buttons tightly about the neck.
These ruffs. as well as jahOt frillS
down the front. are usually bound with
black, although occasionally q bright
color such as pink or cherry red Is
used. BlouSes with ruffs are includ-
ed In the costume because of the I'M
usual neck finish. which adds cOnSId-
cradle distinction to the tailored suit

organdie waist with plated ruff
bound with black silk. A narrow black
ribbon cravat fastens the collar.
Waistcoats of heavy silks or linens
with sleeves and backs of thin mate

Drop Fur for Trimmings
There is a tendency TO depart from
fur as a trimming. except i'm very high
priced suits. The cost of tailoring and
materials is so great at the present
time that fur-trimmed suit is almost
prOhibtive and may he classed among
the Injuries. Braids. wool stitching
and patent leather hands are used n
lien Of fur. Bands Of plated or fIuied
cloth are used prOfuseIy. These are
sometimes lined with a contrasting
color in the form of piping to produce
a very pretty color effect. These
strips of huted cloth give almost the
of DugieS.
That the minds of dresSnskers and

lines Is evinced by the hat worn with
This suit, which. although not made es'
pecially for II. carries out the same
idea. The crown and upper hrim are
of blue velvet. while the facing is vel
low silk. The brim is encircled by
yeIlew buGles that give the same eff
feet as the plated sections of cloth
on the suit.
Braid is used In such quantities that
the designers ingenuity has been
taxed 10 the utmost in working our
new ways of applying It. An original
method of using braid is seen In annth-
er suit Wide, fiat silk braid of ii very
