entirely new angle and learn just
what you can stand in the way Of
white and just what will throw you
into the background, as it were.
An evening dress of white which,
though this particular model came
from Paris, illustrates fashion which
is most successful and popular right
here. It is made of white moire and
this particular model has its edges
and its bouffant side drapery faced
with cloth of silver. There are stiff
ness and pertness about the draping
of this heavy silk which are entirely
new and which have reached a rare
! degree of smartnesS. And when 1t Is
done in white it is most particularly
effective. One cannot make q mistake
by choosing a dress of this character.
And, if one should live to regret the
day of purchase, there is. always the
you in the twinkling of an eye. or per-
haps it would be more accurate to
say, at the end of six weeks.
| The white suit has reached the
acme of its expression and, for city
or country wear, it is the thing of the
moment. The thrilling thing is to see
| how many different styles are ap-
plicable to white and how many vary
ing materials adapt themselves to the
new idea. There is one, for instance,
an outfit made of a white homespun
wooden material with the toughest
sort of surface. Then the trimming Is
done with bands of marmot fur, max.
ing a delicious contrast and a most
effective spotting of decoration.
The coat of this suit is one of the
newer ones with it's bloused long
waist and its open sleeves. Nothing
about its line is exaggerated, and yet
it conforms entirely to all the de-
mands Of the new silhouette. You will
find that, more and more, suits will
be made with coats or jackets cut
after this style and that women will
be liking to 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 soft white felt that Is so shaped
that it 1lops picturesquely about the
face. Then it is trimmed with thick
roll of dull brown velvet that chimes
in with the color in the suits trim
ming Of fur
All Sorts OF White Suits.
There are all sorts Of white suits
to be found in the shops, and many
/ of them carry 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 a
homespun jacket, for example, and
that will be worn with plated silk
: skirt. Or you will find white flannel
sleeveless jacket combined with one
, piece silk dress made from that crisp
variety Of shantung silk that makes
such interesting summer frocks. Again
l there will be flannel skirt and a silk
coat.
There are myriads of one-piece
I 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
I dresses made of heavy white liner
$ with rolling revers collars and large
Z pearl buttons to set off the smartness
+ of their lines. There ere others made
:. of this same material which are sup
q plemented by soft little collars OF
: tucked organdie and net, with frillet
n and lacy trimmings kept always very
y narrow and unpretentious in style
e Sometimes there will be little colol
e introduced into the belt. though no
/ always. There are dashing little ret
e patent leather belts and black one!
8 that are very interesting.
