this suit is a tailleur a la militaire

trimmings, wide shoulders, epaulets

red, white and blue color schemes are

Epaulettes New Effect
in Silhouette Gowns

The slim. soldierly silhouette is GER
tainly the darling of the French dress
makers this season. Epaulettes, in
some form or another and trim, strict
lines convey the wooden soldier effect.
These are sometimes designed sim
ply on top of the shoulder seam to tip
the point, but more frequently lap over
into short tabs. Reminiscent of Eliz
abethan shoulders in one instance. the
motif changes to twisted roll of the
material.
A tiny jacket closing in sharply at
the waist resembles caraco. the brief
jacket worn by the French peasant
woman. It comes in velveteen and is
worn over a fine wool frock. Short
cap sleeves over long ones give width
at the shoulders.

SANDALS FOR ALL

Sandals for all occasions is the de-

looked over the summer trends. And
the more original the material out OF
which the sandal is made the better.
Sports sandals are shown in pas
teletta, suva, linen, shantung and bas-
ket weayes, combined with touch OF
leather. The linen and shantung are
the only fabrics used alone. Buck,
calfskin kid are the predominating
feathers.
But bright colors combined with
white will be in good taste this season
red, green, blue and the pastel
shades may be used for stripping, piping
and heels of the new spectator-sports
shoes.
And for evening, sandals so cut out
that you practically have no shoe at
all will be the rage. These will be
shown in every possible fabric to
match your gown.

In the matter of details which give
