No one needed suggestion along this

not consider the work of coloration fin

most overwhelming fashion for loose
capes to place one of red silk as back
ground to the white frock and then tops
the whole with small red hat.
Poiret. continuing his prediction for
gay awning stripes against white foun-
dation, uses scarlet In a succession OF
streaks down a white Kasha skirt,
leaves 1t at that. and turns his atten-
ton to the jacket. which he makes of
scarlet leather edged with a silklike fur

Leather Jackets Arrive.

Poiret is not the only one to turn
public attention TO short coats of supple
leather. 1t is the united effort of the
French designers to substitute hide for
clcth in jackets.
Red is not the one gay color chosen.
Apple and Jade green are its sturdy
rivals. Green runs well In the lead
when white cloth skirts accompany the
leather coat. Brown is too suggestive
Of war and trenches, so it is denied
place, and black is rarely chosen, and
then only by those who feel undressed
and ashamed II they are without this
color
White leather jackets are worn with
green and with orange homespun or
Kasha cloth skirts and as a rule they
have a fanciful belt carrying on the
color of the skirt to show that they are
not an afterthought or a piece of rainy
day apparel attached to a separate skirt.
Possibly the success of the cire satin
Jackets that looked like animated pieces
of Chinese lacquered furniture, the kind
worn by the debutantes during the win
ter, gave an impetus to the fashion for
gay and supple leather ones that pre-
sented themselves as genuine novelties
Over here they have not created even
q ripple in the waters of fashion. but
IL Is probable that France will urge us
to consider them seriously as soon as
the spring breaks.
The objection usually made to these
Jackets concerns their weight, which
the average woman thinks Is a bur-
den. This is true of the brown army
coats, but not of these modern gar
ments which have been made as light
and flexible as cloth. They have quite
an air, and relieve the monotony of
the plain tailored suit
Sometimes they are opened In front
to show a waistcoat, gilet, as the
French call them: again they are built
in the shape of a combing sacque, tied
at the neck under a round collar, the
two front edges hanging slightly apart,
showing soft blouse underneath.
There are also leather jumpers that
drop downward from the shoulders In
a straight line to the hips where there
Is a wide belt of the same fabric that Is
tightly buckled in with metal.
Possibly that extravagantly wide belt
introduced by the Callot Sisters at their
last opening in August was the original
inspiration for these jumpers. Mrs
Asqulth wore one of these hip girdlers
when she lectured, and all OF them are
so broad they attract attention from the
rest of the costume.
Even IL woman does not caro- for
the entire jumper of leather, she might
not frown upon one of homespun, Kasha,
or Roman crepe with this twelve-inch
leather belt as the end Of 1t.
Lowered wnistIine Continues.
Among the other features In which
the new season pays tribute to the
last is the continuance of the girdle
at the hips. One sees an effort to
abandon this silhouette by a few de-
signers, but the general acceptance of

tunately. fashion does not lessen its in
sistence upon the long skirt. Its length
increases AS the days lenthen.
Women's Skirts Sweep Ankles.
France makes no concealment of her
determined intention to conceal the
ankles. One would fancy she had a
swift and sudden reversal to modesty
To expose the knees, then look askance
at the revealed ankle is, indeed, a
change from worse to better. but so
1t Is.
The new skirts shown at the openings
in Paris were longer than they havo
been for years; for even in the imme-
diate postwar period. when we We're

peans were using bathing suits as
