new idea. There IL one. for instance,
an outfit made of white hOmespun
wooden material with the toughest
sort OF surface. Then the trimming is
done with bands of marmot fur. max
ing delicious contrast and a most
effective spotting OF decoration.
The coat OF this suit IL one OF the
newer ones with It's bloused long
waist and It's open sleeves. Nothing
about it's line Is exaggerated. and yet
II conforms entirely TO all the de-
mands of the new silhouette. You will
find that, more and more, suits Will
he made with coats or jackets cut
after this style and that women will
be liking 10 wear them for the reason
that they indicate so pleasantly all of
the smartest lines established by the
fashion of the season.
The hat worn with this suit Is made
OF a soft white felt that is so shaped
that II flops plcturesquely about the
face. Then IL is trimmed with a thick
roll OF duh brown velvet that chimes
I'm with the color In the suits trim
ming Of fur.
All Sorts Of White Suits.
There are all sorts of white suits
10 be found in the shops, and many
Of them carry a large degree of smart
ness. There are those made Of jersey,
those constructed out Of the heavier
varieties Of white silk, those made
from tweeds and twills and flannels.
Then there are other white suits made
after the popular idea Of combina-
ton of materials There will be
homespun jacket, for example, and
that will be worn with a plated silk
skirt. Or you will find white flannel
sleeveless jacket combined with a one
piece silk dress made from that crisp
variety of shantung silk that makes
such interesting summer frOcks. Again
there will be flannel skirt and silk
coat. The fact is that there is no
end TO the combinations which have
been achieved by using white mate
rails with n view 10 making smart
! looking summer costumes. We have
broken away entirely from the old con-
ceptlon of girlish. youthful white as
the only expression Of that color, and
we have come to using ii in much
more mature manner with very much
more background TO make IL notable.
There are myriads of one-piece
dresses made In white. Especially the
/ linen ones are good and, as the sea
son advances, surely more and more
of them will be seen. There are coat
dresses made OF heavy white linen
with rolling revers collars and large
/ pearl buttons 10 set off the smartness
OF their lines. There are others made
of this same material which are sup.
/ plemented by soft little collars OF
tucked organdie and net with frilled
and lacy trimmings kept always very
narrow and unpretentious In style
Sometimes there will be q little color
introduced into the belt. though not
| always. There are dashing little red
patent leather belts and black ones
that are very interesting. And then
/ there are narrow girdles made Of fas.
cinating combinations OF steel buckles
with colorful grosgrain ribbons strung
/ through llltlli lltA lildht Il ltlEllUE
sort of waistline string which, at the
/ present moment Is extremely smart
and good loolSing-especially so when
! ii is worn in n brilliant hue along
with a tailored white dress.
Cling to Fluffy RutfIes.
Then there are the white frocks
which in no way pretend to be tai.
lored but which cling desperately TO
the old-fashioned ideas Of fluffy rufIles
But they are n new sort Of ruffle.
! They are narrow and plated and
massed together making a neat sort
of frilliness rather than a careless
sort, If you understand the distinction
The organizes that are coming from
Paris are lovelier than they ever have
been, for they are redolent of new
touches that make for charm piled
