Late Summer Suit of Jersey

There is no end to the ways in which jersey cloth has been developed into suits. All the way from those formal affairs elaborated with bands of many-colored embroideries in silk or wool yarns, to others as plain and unadorned as that shown in the picture, there are jersey suits in every style. The late summer models ard simple; sometimes entirely plain and sometimes banded with jersey cloth in a color contrasting with that used in the suit. The material is soft and lends Itself to graceful lines and it ’ is made in many colors; therefore line and color come in for much consideration in suits made of jersey cloth. Sports styles are reflected in many of them, and the brighter colors are made up in

the simplest models'. A suit in rosecolor, sulphur, bright green, turquoise, or any other of the colors classed as “sweater” ghades could hardly be better finished than with white silk collar and cuffs and white pearl buttons. Worn with a white silk blouse and white canvas shoes these bright suits strike a new note in summer apparel—they are gay enough, and not too gay, for almost any wear. . Beige, tan, gray and white jersey are chosen for more formal meets. Those in white, ornamented in white soutache, and those in light gray with braid or embroidery in self color, reach the pinnacle of elegance. But all these colors are chosen for colored- embroideries and for rich and sedate ornamentation in black.
