Motoring Clothes
AGAIN Changing

Styles Of The Fair Sex Given
Once Over
- the Associated Prsss.
Fur watstcoats and mittens for
Afternoon wear have appeared on
Piccadilly and along Oxford Street.
The mittens are made OF supple
rt-lengthed fur. On chilly days
the waistcoat is slipped over velvet
frocks. Women are wearing the fur
waistcoats to afternoon bridge
parties instead Of brocade coatees.
The waistcoats are made sometimes
from inexpensive ermine-dyed rab-
bit; again from moleskin.
Variation I'm Eton Crop
One Of the variations OF the Elton
crop this season IL to have lock
OF hair drawn from the back under
meath the ear. 1t is not easy to train
these back locks to lie perfectly flat.
even with the aid OF brilliantine, so
the English miss has brought out
some original earrings to help. Now
the rebellious locks are passed
through a ring small enough to hold
1t firmly. yet not too small to spoil
the line OF the hair.
Bead Belts With Pearls
A revival Of feminine interest in
Indian bead trimming, has inspired
the fashionable designers to execute
duplicates Of the native belts and
necklaces with pearls and othel
precious stones.
New Motoring Fashions
Robinson Crusoe's influence is
being felt In the new motoring FASH
ions which include long cross-over
coat vests OF gray goat fur, coming
high up at the threat in the most
approved Crusoe manner. The new
fur coat-vest is not unlike an elon-
gated waistcoat and reaches a few
inches below the edge Of the coat
under which It Is worn
Polished Steel Again
Marcastie jewelry. those rings and
brooches OF highly polished steel
that were so popular In the 18th and
18th centuries, are the vogue IN
England again. Genuine antique
brooches and rings are bringing high
prices In the market while modern
reproductions are equally In evil
dence.
Cannibalistic Influence
Even the cannibal contributes
something to the makeup OF the
modern English Miss. The very
newest evening frocks are very SINH
lar to those worn by the bellies Of
tho Solomon Isles. Long ostrich
plumes are substituted by the civiliz-
ed Mayfairite for the tumeric leaves
and Hibiscus fibre OF the dusky
debutante. The bodice worn with the
new feather evening dress Is tight
fitting and made OF embroidered
chiffon.
Bustles of Flowers
British dressnakers are placing
bustles on the new evening frocks.
Those recently seen were made en-
tirely OF flowers Of blending realistic
shades Of mauve. pink and purple
with black centers. They made an
attractive decoration. Under the
flower hustle, there hangs from the
frocks mares tall Of pleated ninon.
The now fashionable mares tail Is
a sort Of cross between a sash and
train. 1t reaches Just below the
bottom OF the dress. 49,
Beauty Patches Back
Beauty patches are back in Eng
land. They are placed on tho back
OF the neck. wearers OF these beauty
patches generally leave Oft jewelry
which otherwise would distract at
tention. Some Of the moro original
designs are little pigs.
Bodice Now Proper
It is no longer a blunder to speak
OF "bodices" since dressmakers are
slipping back into the habit to de-
scribe the top portion Of dresser 1t
is sign Of tho growing revival OF
dresses which require moro max
ing" and fitting than recent
fashions have demanded.
High ColIarod Jumper
A very -collared sleeveless
Jumper is being featured among the
English winter styles It IS Of black
velvet richly adorned with hand
painted roses and q high collar but
toned to the ears and worn over a
filmy skirt Of finely pleated, black
chiffon. Brightly colored buttons,
brooches or arrows are used as
fasteners .".-t
Women's Evening Suit
The "Jacobite Laird" evening suit
Is one Of the English women's vaH-
ations OF fashion. A little velvet
coat, short and very straight, with
lace ruffles at the neck and wrists
covers a soft white silk shirt. The
killed skirt is not necessarily OF
tartan. Any kind Of gorgeous color
Ing on q dark background carries
out the idea sufficiently. With a
sh,ngled head and black patent
leather shoes with large silver
buckles, the wearer looks as though
she had Just stepped out Of Van
dyck picture.
