1t Incorporates several ideas In one
model. The outline Of the suit re-
mains plain, and by emitting the
tucked portions and the scalloped
bottom a smart suit having box
coat with raglan sleeves and high col
lar remains.
New BIouses Have Shorter Lines.
AS for blouses to accompany the
suit, 1t would be well to include one
or two of the new costume blouses Of
crepe de chine or dull crepe satin.
Beware of those showing too much
elaboration.
In their eagerness to meet a sud-
den demand for blouses created by
the regeneration Of the tailored suit
designers have gone far in an en-
deavor to offer new ideas. This is a
natural thing to have done, for there
are many tastes to be catered to.
The tendency in all blouses Is to-
ward shorter lines. The over-blouse,
in many instances, ends at the waist
line at the sides and back and slopes
slightly below it in the front. Ever
so many of them, while finished to be
worn outside the skirt, end at the nor
NAL waistline.
1t is not unusual now to have a
blouse made from the material OF
the suit itself This Is a revival Of
an old-time fashion and an extremely
practical one.
college girls outfit is a topcoat, and
there is no reason why this should
not be one Of the smartest costumes,
for copies of the plaid coats which
were acknowledged by everyone who
visited the French races to be among
the smartest things worn there now
may be procured in this country.
Loose Topcoats of Plaid Woolens-
Those with long cape backs or cut
in scarf effect, while attractive, are
not quite as useful as the real coat
variety. While cut on very loose lines,
! it still gives the comfort of coat.
1t meets fashions requirements by
having the long flowing sleeves which
are the most up-to-the-minute note.
| While a coat of this sort is useful
for travelling and many other occa'
sions it does not quite fill the re
! Quirements Of a rainy day. Every
| student should take a good tramp
each day, rain or shine. so a rain
coat is essential.
| If a day be unattractive women
should not fall in line with it by
appearing IN old clothes which they
would not wear in the bright sun
| shine.
! In this country we walk so little
in the rain that there has not beer
the demand for good-looking raiI
coats that there is in England, where
women consider a smart rain costume
of real Importance.
But a growing interest in rainy-daJ
coats is constantly developing here
! Some of our most exclusive American
firms brought over smart models las
year in rubberized plaid cloth witt
small hats to match. They were 81
expensive, however, that they were
practically prohibitive for the woman
of average income. Now copies o.
some of the best models from LondoI
and Paris may be had at reasonable
prices. Among them are capes suit
able for wearing over suit or heay!
coat in the autumn ar1 winter.
Some of the new models in Ions
coats which French designers havl
been working on so animatedly d
late are of rain-proof tweeds anC
gabardines, although these are no
quite as unusual and smart as the
silk rain-proof plaids in large, show!
patterns on the order of the coat!
worn at the French races.
| There are number of smart coats
of the deep-yoke sort with choker col
lars that start at neckline cut Oui
far onto the shoulders.
