A POSTSCRIPT written to the story
\ of suits is due just now and may
be briefly written, since the story itself
was not long one this season. There
has been great uniformity of styles aud
considerable variety In details of fin
ishing, and the points that distin-
guished suits at the beginning of the
season proved to be very popular, SO
that there has been no good reason for
running after strange gods. Now that
the season is over, and designers are
turning their attention to spring, we
are not likely to find any startling in
novatlons in winter styles.
The two suits pictured are found
among the liberal quota of fur-trim-
med models that have made up a
part of all representative collections.
The suit at the left is one of the few
that have shown themselves independ-
ent Of the vogue for coats reaching al
most to the knees. There are few
models that keep 1t company, so that
