Trim and Graceful Tailormade

Trim and plain and graceful, one of the new fall suits, of plain-faced cloth, presents all of the characteristics that have placed American "tallormades” at the head of their class. The skirt is moderately wide and plain, finished at the bottom with a three-inch hem. It hangs plain at the front and back and achieves a moderate flare by means of three deep plaits at each side. The coat is semifitting and laps over at the front, buttoning a little to the left of the center, with smart composition buttons banded with white enamel. The sleeves are long, plain coat shape, rather close fitting and finished without cuffs. But they are decorated with three buttons, set some distance apart. It will be noticed that they curve outward at the hand a little and extend partly over

it, a new touch that it is worth while to consider. The collar is finished with an inlay of silk and is cut rather high at the back. It fits snugly for a turnover and may be brought very close up about the neck. Flaps at each side, fastened down with a single button, simulate small pockets on the body of the coat. Patch pockets are set ori at each side of the coat’s skirt and are finished with a flap and buttons also. A narrow stltched-down belt of the fabric extends part way about the waist line. It terminates at each side of the front in a point and a button. Machine stitching, done in the most workmanlike manner, is a part of the excellence of this trim coat. Taken altogether the suit is admirable and the model suited to women of all ages.
