with a dark silk blouse or sweater
The tOpcoat suit is the one with the
sack suit that may be worn with a
matching three quarter coat. The
REFER suit has a long coat that is
double breasted. The wide reverS and
belted back are characteristic features.
The boXy trotteur is very popular
model adapted to town or country
wear Here is where we find great
variety of materials and colorS, and
very often two different fabrics are
combined. The Russian influence is
noted in the three quarter belted suits
with flare at the bottom of the coat
These usually are buttoned up to q
small close collar. And you must re-
member that all these are authentic
new Spring styles designed to fit all
sorts of different occasions, types OF
people and sizes of budgets.
Among those RuSsian-looking
suits is to be found one in navy
blue trimmed with sOutache braid;
something quite new. The widely
belted coat tastenS up to high
standing collar rolled over a bit
with the front edges turned back
to show the braiding, This trim
ming is a continuation of short
braided panel at the front. There
is a tucked yoke which continues
across the shoulders and makes the
three-quarter sleeves which are
finished with circular, braided
ruffleS.
A SMART youthful model in green
cedar bark, that very creepy
wool. and has a straight boXy two
thirds length jacket with a collar that
is sailor in the back but makes two
wide points at the front edged with
leopard banding The neckline is
cleverly cut so that the seams of the
shoulders curve upward little, CIV
ing a more becoming height to the
round neck. There are green wooden
triangular buttons down the front and
the square pockets have triangleS of
the fur banding.
A SUIT of black cedar bark gains
distinction with yoke collar of white
gaylak and low inset flare at the
front of the skirt. OF the boXy
trotteur class there is the smarteSt
suit in two greens. The full swagger
coat is a finely striped ostrich cloth
of Spring green and lines of dull gray
green. The darker color makes the
tuxedo revers and the top of the
pockets on the coat and forms the
material of the skirt and deep ends
of a dull green silk scarf. The ma
terial is so soft and the colorS adorable.
An equally smart and very youthful
model is lovely in quite different
way. 1t is navy blue fine woolen
with straight flngertip-length I'M
lined coat and a splaShing taffeta
ruTf1e around the neck, finely checked
in peacock shades of blue and green.
This Iuffle is made narrower at the
back than the front so that it can
be pushed up around the back, if
desired. The dress beneath is Of
blue wool and the collar is really
part OF it, the coat having a plain
round neck. Crushed vide bands Of
the silk start at each side Of the
Waistline in the front and continue
over the shoulders to cross in the back.
The sleeves of the dress are short and
the coat sleeves bracelet length and
plain, fiaring out wider at the bottom.
One of those nice dreSSy suits for
Easter in a light color is a dawn
blue with fluffy revers of azure fox
on the jacket which curves up in the
front and ties at the side. This jacket
is hip length and we'll fitted to the
figure.
So many Of the suits this year
have blouses that come right with
them, as part of the ensemble, which
is marvellous, as it saves you the
trouble of deciding what kind of
blouse would look best with the
suit, and also saves you money
buying something that must be
worn with it. We have seen any
number of splendidly combined
suits. Here's one, for instance.
that might be difficult to combine
successfully without skill in de-
signing. 1t is a tailored suit with
short. fltted-in Jacket of prav and
