to be the first choice of woman fol-
being pushed into the background as
a secondary consideration, after the
coat and dress have had their fling
The suit shows a tendency to STEP
out of the hackneyed class, and to
demonstrate itself an individual gar
ment along with all the rest OF the
productions Of the season. The fabric
used is heavy gray wool perlaine
which really Is sort of glOrified
cheviot, very woody and thick. Then
the border, which is the mark Of dis
tinction, is done In pattern cut out
of red flannel and edged with band
ing of narrow black fur. 1t completes
most unsatisfactory, beyond doubt,
with any dress or coat of the day
and there is no denying the fact that
for some women and for some oc-
casions, the suit is the very best sort
of attire that can be found.
Moreover, the suit is peculiarly be
coming-especially this sort Of dressy
French suit There is a slimness and
a chic about it which cannot be ap-
preached by any other combination OF
outdoor clothes. And there are GER
tain women, no matter what the gen
eral trend of fashion may be, who
will stick to this expression through
every change.
Has Full and Loose Sleeves.
This suit has the full and loose
sleeves which characterize the latest
frOcks. 1t has the rather long peplum
for the coat, which brings it into the
street=dress class, and it has the high
cOlhr which, most certainly, is one OF
the distinguished features of the out
door dresses of the present time.
They say that in Paris the muff has
been revived and received with great
avidity this winter season. If so, we
may look for it as a salient part Of our
next winters fashions. Certainly 1t
adds touch to suit of this sort
which cannot be gained in any other
way, and it provides, too, that sug-
gestion of warmth without which the
suit would be totally impractical.
Another model is street dress,
or coat dress, as they are sometimes
called. 1t is made from checked
blue and red velour with patches OF
embroidery for trimming. The back
ground of the material is a dark
blue. and then the check Of red runs
through it outlined by fine pin stripe.
The embroidery is done with dark,
rich tones upon blue background.
The cuffs on this dress are it's
center of interest, for they give that
width to the silhouette at the place
where it is most necessary if the model
is to take notable place in the
fashions of the day. Sleeves Of this
character are more or less hard to-
manage gracefully, but when one ac-
allires the trick of the thing the re-
suit more than pays for the trouble
involved in learning. Except with a
privileged few, the management of big
sleeves does not come as natural
born right More clu'nsiness can be
exhibited in this respect than in many
others. But once their handling has
become secure thing in ones mind,
why then there follows satisfaction
In wearing the garment which is
total surprise.
Use New and Lovely Fabrics.
For the newer frocks they are using
new and the loveliest Of fabrics. In
stead of the usual serge there is
French material. woven by Rodier,
called kashas cloth. 1t is material
with the weave Of cashmere and the
surface Of clipped cameps hair
fabric.
