MAKE TROUSERS FOR WOMEN

“Smoking Suits” Are In Great Demand in London for Afternoon Teas. London. —Women in London have begun to wear trousers and little smoking coats Instead of the tea gown. Every kind of waistoaat is being worn out of doors, but the trousers and coart suit is only worn indoors, and generally in the afternoon. The pajama habit led the way and the smoking suit haß followed. The suits resemble closely the Jacket and trousers of the Chinese women and are really fascinating. They are to be had in various colors. One is a deep blue cashmere, with a collar of yellow silk and a breast pocket, the whole being stitched in yellow. Another dainty suit is of forget-me-not blue silk. Another has a silk collar of the palest pink, a breast popket of the same tint and pink trousers, turned up in true masculine fashion. • *' _ 0 . v*—r?
