Tho Sport Suit
| There is the sport suit. for which
America and Americans have become
! famous; there is the medium suit for
every occasion and there is the. dressy
suit, which this season has dissolved
itself into the costume dress.
Among the tailored suits there. are
many with coats that are very long:
That is, they may safely be called
three quarter length, for there is only
fraction of skirt left showing be-
meath the ending of the coat. Though
it may not be three quarters of the
length of the woman's figure. it is
fully three quarters of the length OF
her skirt. These suits are cut i'll such
manner that they can keep. the
straight, long lines for any figure.
They are totally without fullness. to be
sure. but they have miraculous way
of keeping straight in spite Of every
thing.
Most Of these strictly tailored suits
have low cut revers, so that the clos
ings of the coats come just above the
waist lines. Then this opening leaves
room for the dainty blouse the latter
being the touch without which the suit
remains as nothing worthy Of notice.
As for the materials in the tailored
suits. they are the twills and serges
that will forever be eminently, salts
factory fer suca proposes. and there
are also some soft, fine duvetyne and
wool velours that make up most attrac-
lively into the heavier winter suits.
Suits With Trimmings
Suits with more or less Of trimming
come TO us from the French designers
and. with a certain type of women, are
generally appreciated and worn in this
country. Most of these. this season, are
made with the longer waists and with
slightly bloused effects at the waist
lines. Then the embroidery is used for
a wide or narrow band around the
bottom of the peplum. for the cuffs. for
the collar and sometimes for band to
run along the line where the closing
of the coat is effected.
Fur is used for trimming many of the
winter suits. but the fact of the matter
is that in most cases it is very sparlng-
Il used There are straight, choker
collars and the smallest of cuffs. and
only seldom is there band of fur seen
around the bottom of the peplum. And
the fnrs are mostly of the short haired
variety. for the rule seems to be that
when one wants fox or sable. then the
animal itself must be brought into the
limelight and fetched as the piece de
resistance of the street costume. Foxes
are especially popular to wear with the
suits that are more or less plain and
unassuming in design. And these are
thick. bushy skins, preferably gray or
taupe One of the smartest costumes
on the street during the last few snap
by. cooler days was that consisting Of
the dark blue serge tailored suit, bound
with black silk braid, slightly fitted
and worn with light gray fox spread
over the shoulders and gathered closely
about the throat. A little. close, black
turban with bit of veil completes
the costume that is perfect for just
this season of the year and Just the
Short Capes Attached
The suit that has short cape at
tached to the shoulders of the coat is
one Of the most popular models Of the
day. The extra cape undoubtedly adds
warmth. for when the weather is cold
it can be held snugly about the body
but it is, also, a graceful appendage.
It's swinging in the wind. its line as it
falls behind and away from the moving
figure are singulary good looking, and
the suit with one of these certainly has
the distinction Of being in an exclusive
class.
The sport suits or the suits which
can generally be placed within that
category. are short as to packet. con-
servatively short and tight as to skirt,
and the jacket has big pockets, sleeves
with armholes accurately fitted, and
a narrow belt that snaps together with
out too much ado.
The suit, then. is holding its own.
1t becomes Il matter of individual pref
erence, but, in the city at least, every
woman must have at least one Of these
all-around satisfactory affairs if she is
to have a wardrobe worthy Of being
called complete.
