Short Jackets
Have the Call

Then, too, the summer sweater usual
ly Ia so thin that the ugly line OF n
short-sleeved dress shows halfway
down the sleeve Of the sweater.
Practically every woman knew
that some sort of jacket was needed
In place Of the old-fashioned loose
coat-sweater that did such good serv-
ice In bygone years, but she waited
patiently for the great designers in
Paris TO launch this idea. Her patience
was rewarded by the clocki coats.
II may have been that there was
no material sufficiently inspiring to
the mind of the designer until Ro-
der brought out his fabrics In Bills
tered effects This would look like n
reasonable supposltlon, since the vari'
Gus creators OF clothes selected clOcki
almost simultaneously for the short
separate Jackets which they succeeded
In populnrlzing almost over night for
the demand for these jackets Is very
great. II Is not to be supposed that
any one with any imaginative genius
would stop with one sort Of material
for new type OF coat SO they have
gone on from this material to others.
Two-Tler Pockets on Model.
Notable among some late models In
the short separate coat Is one In
white satin clockl, trimmed with
border OF black satin poppy petals
loosely applied. This jacket is smart
when worn with a black crepe marc
cain skirt and black outdoor hat. II
makes most distinguished costume,
and one which will be eagerly seized
upon by the woman who Is DESTROYS OF
getting away from the set type OF
sweater and skirt and sweater and
DverblOuse so universally worn.
Madame Jenny, who so successfully
caters to the well-dressed American,
mas found her greatest success In the
coat In model developed
n white satin clocki trimmed with
black suede, which takes the form OF
/ border around the collar. pocket
and bands on the sleeves. She
varies from the usual coat pocket by
making the pockets In two tiers, that
Is. two on the right side just above
the hip. one directly above the other,
and she repeats this treatment in
breast pockets.
No great dressmaker has overlooked
clocki in making up her mid-seasOn or
enrly autumn models. A two-piece
suit with hat to match by Worth is
developed In this material In cltrOn
yellow. shade frequently used In
suits earlier In the season and now
prominent in both suits and jackets.
A very striking jacket In black
zenannn is typical of the short, sep
arate coat as exploited In the fashions
OF the moment. The black background
sets on to excellent advantage multi
colored embroidery ON the sleeves,
collar and pockets.
One would naturally expect that
something more practical in material,
but similar In cut, should follow In the
wake OF these glorlfied outing jackets
because. when fashion suddenly
flames up almost over night. as II
were, and takes such tremendous
hold on the public In general II has
somewhere In It's composition some Of
the qualities which make best seller,
and no progressive dressmaker or
manufacturer Is going 10 rellnqulsh
such n profitable garment until every
Idea that Il contains has been exploit
ed to the utmost SO for the autumn
these magnificent coats Will be fol-
lowed by more practical ones OF wool
many OF them knitted after the fash
ion OF the old-tlme sweater-coat.
Several great dressmakers have
gone still further with this Idea and
have made skirts 10 match these jack
cts, especially In the wool things
Worth has a model with the jacket
knitted IN wool In plaid effeet-gray
white anu black. The shawl collar on
the jacket and the cuts and glrdle
are of gray.
