ALL SIMPLE OF CUT
BLOUBE EFFECTS IN ORDER FOR SEASON'S GARMENTS.. •mart Little Coat Sult Illustrated May Be Taken as Design That Will Have the Sanction of Those Who Know. Delightful and more useful than •ver are the coat and skirt sultd of the coming season, the majority -of which are suitable, for dress wear or street in a wide range of handsome materials. The blouse effects are constantly growing In favor —in fact, they are the preferred designs for the soft, supple goods like, the velour surfaced ones and the new cheviot weaves. All tailored suits are extremely simple of cut, but more or less complex of silhouette, and, contrary to preceding seasons, very little trimming Is used the success of the costume depending largely on graceful draping and swathing of materials. The smart little coat suit of the sketch Is representative of the simpler models. The coat is what Is known as a Russian cutaway, an attractive compromise between two of the season’s favorite whims. Its material Is one of the pebble-finished woolen weaves in mole brown. The skirt is rather long and plain, with the tunic
fastened across the front at the knees by a square tab held in place with oval buttons, and trimmed with soutache motifs in purple and black. Mole brown satin is used for the under plain skirt and only needs a panel of the suit material down the center front to fill in the space above and below the buttoned-over section of the tunic. In the blouse the fullness is distrib-
uted across the sides, which pouch a trifle over the crushed satin belt. The fronts cross each other, the right side over the left, in a tab that reproduces the one of the tunic, and similarly is trimmed and held in place with the ovel-shaped buttons. The soft collar rolls up high about the neck, and the soft purple satin tie running uriaer the tab hangs cut below it in a v loop and tasseled end. „ Tha three-quarter-length sleeves are set Into dropped shoulders finished with soft roll-back cuffs and trimmed with the soutache motifs.
Costumes of this Type Are Fashionable for Early Fall.
