The Oklahoma miner. [volume] (Krebs, Okla.) 1912-192?, 1921-07-07

escheW the conservative coat and skirt
type, preferring those of the skirt and
jumper or overblouse sort. Although
little variety is seen in the cut, much
Of it is introduced in other and more
unusual ways. For instance. II the
suit is of brushed wool IT is made up
wrong side out; that is, with the
brushed side on the inside of the gar
ment and the plain side out. This
gives the desired warmth for outdoor
games i'm winter and also has a praC-
tical idea back of it. We all know the
unpleasantncss of having twigs and
leaves as well as dust catch on the sur
face of a brushed wool garment.
Most interesting suits consisting of
skirt high-necked Overblouse with
a smart matching tie and a little hat
or cap, all knitted, are being shown
by exclusive firms featuring sport
clothing. These will be worn in the
mountains this summer and will doubt
less prove among the most popular
suits for country wardrobes next win
ter.
Striking are the colors and color
combinations seen in these. There
are rich yellow striped with black.
the stripes being placed so that they
form a band around the bottom of
the skirt and on the ends Of the scarf
or necktie. Yellow also may be
striped with blue. Then there are
beautiful tones of lavender, mauve
and violet and charming blue-green
of the shade that one often sees IN
the woods in midsummer.
A novelty woolen material, for
sport suits, which was among the new
fabrics this spring will be even
more popular as the season advances.
The pattern resembles the surface of
a waffle iron with its alternating one
quarter-inch squares of crumpled and
plain material. 1t may be had In all
the bright shades of the modern sport
costume, as well as dark colOrs.
Silk With Metal and Wool.
Heavy silk sweaters recently i'm,
ported by prominent American firms
have wool used in combination with the
silk In an altogether new way. l have
in mind a model of this sort which is
knitted of cOrn-colored silk. The wool
takes the form of a vari-colOred floral
border around the neck, the short flow
ing sleeves and the bottom.
The lovely yellow and silver
sweater blouse called Bouton dor
shows much the same treatment in met
al and silk, the silver bands being
placed on the collar, around the sleeves
and bottom and forming the belt. The
metal Is knitted in the front in
rather complicated way.
Reverting to the type of suit re-
ferred to previously as being one
which has taken a tremendous hold
on the public taste at the present
time, it is interesting not only as a
fashion but as illustrative of the con-
tinuously varying demand which gives
rise to the mushroom success from
time to time Of quite obscure dress
makers and the equally sudden fall
Of others in the proportion that they
are able to create a new type or pOpu-
larize an old one at the crucial mo-
ment when that particular style hap
pens, for some reason or another, to
please the public to an unusual de-
gree.
At the present time O'Rossen, the
tailor, is a big competitor of the dress
maker. There IS nothing striking about
the suit which has been his greatest
| success. 1t consists of straight skirt
and a coat almost exactly like the
oldtime ridlng-habit jacket with snug.
| fitting coat sleeves, small collar and
long revers to the waistline where one
| button is placed in link form. The
| coat has slight flare. To be abso-
lutely what is demanded at the mo-
ment the suit must be of lightweight
iron gray checked material, the checks
! being so small that they are almost in
