ATTRACTIVE PORCH

The time has passed when all the
ugly broken-down furniture was rele-
gated to the porch. ow as much thought
and attention is given toward making
this spnce comfortable and attractive
as is spent on the most formal of liv-
ing rooms.
AS the porch gives the first impress
sion of a house, it should be especial
ly inviting in appearance. Unusual col
or schemes should be worked out, as
color is the first essential. With vic
ker stained some effective shade, with
gay cretonne upholstery, and any one
of the many attractive varieties OF
rugs now on the market there is nc
excuse for an uninteresting veranda.

Part and parcel of the coatee mode
Is the cloth jacket, designed for wear
with a separate frock of either match
ing or contrasting color and fabric.
The vogue for the separate pleated
skirt, to be worn with a costume
blouse, is accountable for many OF,
these smart coates. The lap skirt,
draped on one hip, and worn with a
long wasted blouse top of some rich
material demands the bloused or
semi-bloused coat, or some model kin
to 1t. There are several variations Of
the bloused coatee. ranging from the
hip band jacket, fastened with a clasp.
to the bloused, tie-around jacket with
well-deflned, low waistline. And while
one is on the subject Of jackets, some
models are even longer than the so
popular hip length type. The mate
rails that fashion them are, as in the
striking. many OF them heavy with
braiding, embroidery and metal
threading. Frequently the cloth
coates are some color or material
that forms a contrast to the skirt. Not
only are materials and colors used in
contrast, but plain and decorated
fabrics. A favorite combination is the
one-piece frock of some soft material,
preferably crepe, worn with a JAG
Quette of satin matelasse in the same
color. Sleeves are ornamental, col
lars fastened high above the throat.
Few models show revers.
Yet third ramification of the same
idea Is the so-called "jacquette" or
coat blouse, also Paris inspired. The
connection with the coatee of cloth or
fur may readily be seen. since the
blouse is worn beneath the outside
jacket, or, on warm days may take its
place-this latter. of course, when the
fabric OF which 1t is made is a heavy
one. This type Of blouse has quite
usurped the place of the slip-on style,
and when it is worn with a pleated
skirt. 1t makes costume of uniQueat-

~ F all the modes that have come

" sient-the vogue for the coatee
has sprung most promptly into favor.

woman exacting in taste. yet consid-

may, or may not have been the popu-

rival in outer apparel, this most in

the more elaborate frock for after

beauty to be offset or augmented in
