SEASON OF STYLE CHANGES

Radical Changes In Tailor-Made Sults —Striped and Checked Materials Are Very Popular?

Soutache braiding, mostly used on heavy materials, is now appearing on the fine materials, such as chiffon, mousseline, ninon, etc., the rose, blue and gray shades being particularly lovely. Russian braid trims some of the dresses in ninon, the design being worked in military style. Striped and checked materials are very popular just now, and they make very charming tailor-made suits. The stripes or checks are either clofee or widely separated, and in some cases they are used in combination with plain material. It will be a season of radical changes in tailor-made styles, from the fact that the skirts are all narrow, have one or two models of plaits from the waist, which are tightly strapped in about 12 inches from the bottom. Early showing of fabrics for suits are mostly tweed and serge, in mixed colorings. Velvets will be extremely fashionable for winter wear, in dark colors, with a fine stripe of another hue. These elaborate little boleros of embroidery transform a simple gown into ornateness. They look wonderfully smart, too, over a last season’s dress, and they are particularly pretty over dresses of soft net.
