Classic TaiIOr-Made
Popular In Paris

PARIS-The tailored suit with
black coat and striped or checked
skirt is a costume often seen in
Paris this spring. The vogue Of
black and white as well as the
trend toward more conventional styles
contribute to it's popularity.
The new suits are more fitted at
the waistline. Hips are snug and
often the backs of the coats are
fitted by almost imperceptible small
'tucks The tendency is toward the
singlebreasted, one button coat,
slightly cut away in front.
