NEW TAILORED SUITS

HAVE MARKED DISTINCTNESS IN CUT AND FINISH. Departure From the Mannlah Feature la Noted—Tendency to Drapery on Both Skirts and Coats — Much Fur Will Be Used. Fall tailored Buits will*be characterized by various eccentricities of cut and finish. Occasionally a mannish model is to be noted among the new consignments, but for the most part they are more on the costume order, and, although plain and exceedingly well tailored, nevertheless have a more formal appearance than the coat and skirt of other seasons. Much fur will be used, and there is a decided tendency to drape not only the skirts but the coats, or at least to have them hint of drapery. Skirts are still narrow at the foot, but usually have some fullness, variously arranged, at the tap—that is, there may be a few gathers distributed along the sides only or across the back ■and front or strung uniformally around the top, and there is usually a break in the folds at the knee line or ankles, caused by raising or lowering the material where it is attached to the waistband. Generally this marks the extent of attempts at draping. Today’s sketch shows a suit that is typical of fall’s fashion. It is developed in the wedgwood blue velours de laine, and has for trimming band cuffs and a rolling collar of gray fox fur. The cutaway jacket is extremely smart, fitting smoothly in front and blousing a little in back. A sash of black moire is run through an eyelet on either side of the front at the bust line, and from there is carried downward and tied in a bow below the

waist in back, with two not very long sashends. The fronts are left open for a space of five or six inches, disclosing a crossed vast of white wool ratine, with a row of tiny/steql buttons in the center. The material is used diagonally throughout, and incite skirt there are just two seams, directly in front and in back. The lower part of the front of the skirt is lifted up in draped

folds that are held In place under a narrow perpendicular band of selfmaterial, Und there is a small ourved opening above the feet. At the raised waist line in back a row of gathers is covered by auother narrow band of self-material, finished at either end with, a steel button. — Washington Star.
