Harry Collins, the famous Amer
lean costume originator and de-
signer, believes that style consists
in wearing the lines which are be-
coming to ones figure. 1t is the
lines of the figure which he fol-
lows designing frocks for the lead
ers of American society and stage
stars. This frock of his designing
is suitable for the tall, slender fig
ure but it is made SO that it also
looks well on the shorter. stouter
woman.
1T is the treatment of the mate
rial and the trimming which is in
perfect harmony which makes tho
frock distinctive. 1t is made of
plain navy blue material which has
been stitched in white to give the
effect of squares. The tight sleeves
are set off by wide cuffs of un-
usual size which are trimmed with
squares of red leather appliqued
in a square design. The same de-
sign in red leather is repeated on
the skirt where pockets would or
dinarily be. Red buttons from
neck to hem form an additional
trimming and red leather belt
completes the effect. The collar
may be worn high or open at the
throat.
