reaching over the sleeve. Wide fiaring
pique cuffs, and gloves Of the white and
black checked peau DANCE complete
this very jaunty costume.
A MOTHER extremely smart costume,
which Is very much in favor with
the younger Partisan woman, Is the
Bruyere suit Of black knitted wool. I
saw this worn the other morning on the
Champs Elysees, and 1t was easily the
outstanding suit on that handsome
avenue. This suit is made with belted
jacket, somewhat reminiscent Of the old
Norfolk jacket, with two overlapping
pockets on each side of the front, each
fastened with a large black button.
There are also three similar buttons
closing the front of the coat. which is
wrap-over. The distinguishing feature
of the costume is. the high button-on
collar Of white linen, and the wide
daring cuffs Of the same material. There
Is q sort Of turtle neck effect In the
collar, very becoming to the young
woman, but rather difncult for older
women. The costume when saw It was
worn with one of the new pointed high
hats, that are Just beginning to be seen
here In Paris White doesktn gloves
and perforated leather oxfords COM
pleted the costume.
It Is rather interesting that cotton
Is beginning to be worn on the streets,
early though it Is. The cottons have
seen thus far are almost indistinguish-
able from woolens. They are thick,
rough in weave, and altogether smart
in effect. Nine. Jenny, for instance.
women have ordered for street wear
here in Paris. This Is q suit, with short
fitted cutaway jacket, in black and
white checked cotton, the edges bound
in black satin. With it are worn
shaped revers and gilet Of Stif white
pique. The narrow belt Is likewise
of pique, and Mime. Jenny tells me that
some of her younger clients also plan
to wear white pique sailors with the
costume. The costume is exceedingly
smart, and would be an ideal one for
American Summers.

4 MOTHER cotton costume which I
have seen is the Bruyere model in
a black and white hairline stripe. The
dress Is sleeveless. or rather, I should
say that the broad shoulders extend
out 50 far that there IS an effect Of
very short sleeves. A wide plastron of
the material set in horizontally helps
to increase the apparent width above
the waist. The straight skirt has its
fullness introduced by three low, in
verted pleats. There is patent leather
belt. This dress is accompanied usually
by a swagger coat of gray cotton, In a
wool-like weave.
Although swagger coats frequently
accompany dresses, the older woman
frequently chooses fitted model, made
with certain soft details. Patou shows
q model typical Of this sort Of thing.
This coat Is Of black wool crepe, made
with the fitted line that is more be-
coming oftentimes to the mature figure
than the loose box line, popular Just
coat there Is tie-on cape, pointed in q
V-line at the back, reaching almost to
the waist and tied in front with huge
plaid taffeta bow scarf. This scarf, as
matter Of fact, gives q very young
air to the coat and makes It q popular
choice with women Of every age.
A variety Of hats Is worn with these
street clothes. The chechia, In any
number Of new adaptations. is seen
everywhere. Among the younger wom-
en-, who like something piquant, the
pointed version Of this type of hat
Is becoming very popular, although the
severe fex with stin sides = still the
choice Of many young women. This
hat Is generally worn rather far down
ON the forehead, sometimes almost to
the eyebrows. Needless to say, only
the very good-looking adopt this mode.
