FINE THREE-PIECE COSTUME

In Style and Material Thia Is One of the Most Serviceable That Has Been Designed. At almost any time of the year It would be difficult for a semi-smart three-piece costume, as shown here, to fall of service. The two shaped flounces, or godets, as they are mostly termed, surmounting the slim, plain skirt, are afforded an original touch by the introduction of a square emplecement in front, stitched with the same small braided buttons as are

employed on the bodice. The latter is worn over a fine white linen shirt, that again reveals its presence in bouffant under-sleeves which emerge from the curtailed coatsleeve. As shown, the coatee is very loose and vague of outline; the fronts a mere incident, whereas the back takes a long point. And a fascinating finish would be imparted to the whole costume by lining this coat, and also the godets, with some bright contrasting silk, which could be accentuated in the belt.
