THE spring and summer or hfe'
i as interpreted in suits for young
and older women, meet In the picture
above. Here two conceptions are
shown, one of them youthful and nov
ell with a picturesque hint Of Spain In
its short jacket and handsome sash,
the other dignified and conservative,
exquisitely tailored, disdaining decora-
lions and faultless in lines; fulfilling
the exacting requirement of mature
women. Women who have reached
middle life and acquired poise, are
not amenable to all the whims of fash
ion that lure their younger sisters.
Youth may disport itself In any OF
the styles and carry them off, but
many of these are not suited to older
women. They are wise when they
choose what looks best on them and,
by this means, arrive at a distinction
in dress that belongs to their years
The handsome suit at the left is
made of beige-colored poiret twill.
All that may be said of it is told by the

sent every detail in its makeup. The
