Tney are simple in cut, with only
under-arm seams, the fronts straight
and single-breasted. Pockets, patch
preferably, and one of the clever cape-
like collars that will muffle the neck
like a scarf, if wished.
For the dressmaker who does not
fancy the difficulty of making this
collar, straight standing collar, that
can be worn as a high collar or roll-
over into a sort of lapel is practical.
The belt is made separate, wide, and
placed almost hip depth.
"I was in one of the smart hat
shops here,” writes a friend of mine
in New York, "when the buyer
stopped to tell me that she had just
returned from Paris, and that the
women there are buying, for the Ri-
veria season, solft yellow’ hats of
crepe de chine trimmed with knotted
wool or sable tails.
"Some of these bats are accom-
panied with coatees to match, in the
same soft shade. These are usually
wide, straight blanket like scarfs, such
as we have been wearing in fur this
winter.
"They are slit either side of the
back, so they can be snapped into
sleeves in the front, or snapped to
the back making a cape. They are
edged with wool fringe or fur bands
or tails
"One of the prettiest was lined with
red and gold crepe and had bunds on
the bottom and top edges.
"This buyer said these scarfs and
hats were being worn in Paris mostly
with one-piece dresses of black velvet.
At the southern resorts here, they wili
most likely top off with one-piece
dresses of various colors.”

this winter. You simply lad to buy
them that way. But you went out
only to find all your friends were
respendent in one-piece dresses with
these expanses of ivory white satin of
varying quality. You became sud-
denly dissatisfied with your frock.
So some one introduced the style
of soldier blue organdie collar and
cuffs. This gave with either dark
blue or black an unusually pretty
color harmony. Then some clever
woman thought of finely striped blue
and white organdie, that, at a little
distance, looked between light blue
and gray. Then came the lovely

sweater coats, as sport coats are
familiarly cailed, is puzziing to women
who feel that they do not wish to wear
the knit sweaters made from yarn,--
"ice cream sweaters" as they are
dubbed by those who believe all yarn
of gay color should be frowned upon,
as every bit, it is said, will be needed
for our soldiers.
Silk jersey, near silk, wool velours,
duvetyn, and also wool jersey, are to
be very smart for sport coats. If a
woman wants to get through next
summer with only one sport coat, she
can do no better than use one of these
materials in some bright color.
To be very smart, she can buy
enough yardage to make a scarf and
a cap or hat to go with it.
These coats are made from hip
lengths to half way below the knees.

The endeavor to introduce long,
sweeping gowns has apparently failed;
and not unnaturally, for almost all the
evenings frocks which are needed will
be worn for dancing, those who have
foresworn such frivolties rarely ap-
pearing in anything more elaborate
than a semi-high dress which tn hap-
pier days would have been relegated
fiankly to the realms of the demi-
toilette, says a writer in the London
Queen:
At the name time less display of silk-
clad ankle is made than has been the
case; und considerable importance
does attach—from the fashion point
of view any way—to the length of the
skirt; so that it is quite worth while
to make oneself cognizant of what it
skould be. and insist on getting it.
For the rest, there is a big tussle
going on between very diaphanous
fabrics and those which come quite
at the other end of the scale; all the
medium stuffs for the time seem rath-
er out of it.
Georgette, crepe de chine, tulle, the
softest of satins, all have their follow-
ing; and so have velvet and heavy
trocade, to say nothing of duvetyn,
which seems to the uninitiated a
strange selection for evening sear, but
is none the leas to be recokoned with
for that.
Fur, again plans a conspicuous part
as trimming, and a delightfully be-
coming one. It is, especially when, as
will happen often enough this year on
those occasions in which dancing does
not play its part, we shall probably
be confronted with much colder
looms than those to which we have
been accustomed.
For fur, even as a finger depth hem
| to the flimsiest of frocks, does give 1
I at least an appesraneq of warmth,
and so adds to that genial look of sell 1
being which it not to be underesti- ’
mated in importance.
Colors, too. are spread before us in
. bewildering beauty, all the more wel-
come because the reverse had seemed
our probable fate with the ye prob-
lem to consider. »
And a great deal depends on th '
choice of color. Both with regard to
the individual wearer and the environ-
ment in which she wtll appear.
This environment deserves far more
thought than it usually gets, for the
most charming frock can be killed
entirely by its surroundings, while one ‘
of far less intrinsic merit will stand
out in most annoying fashion—to the 1
wearer of the first! «
Now into the environment of eve- ‘
ning frocks this year khaki enters
largely, and it is just as well to real- ’

Well proportioned clothes are the
great desire of a well -dr essea Amer-
ican woman today. All classes have
been forced to do more or ism econ-
omizing in all branches of home-
making; the result has been we have
all taken a more close and personal
interest in what we buy to adorn
our persons.
Even five years ago little attention
was paid to this feature of dress.
Everything was style, style, style.

ion, and on with it!

me recently, flapping the samples of
dress materials back and forth
nervously in her hands.
And not without reason Duvetyn
and the various wool velours are
much more dressy, but they are hard
to keep looking spick and span in
dresses and suits that must see hard
everyday wear. It combines well
with black satin, when a little more
elaborate type of dress or suit is
needed for afternoon. Though it is
an inconspicuous color, and rather
dark, too, for many dress up occa-
sions. fancy collar and cuffs will do
wonders in changing its appearance.
