Suits Differ in Details of Design

In suits, as in frocks and hats, there I is a considerable variety in styles to choose from this season. But these differences are not very apparent until one has given suits a more casual study ; they lie in small details of design. At the beginning of the season suits presented eoats both short and long, but the longer coats have persisted and are accepted. Skirts are wider and have gradually grown a little shorter than in the early models. A happy medium is always a safer choice in street clothes, hut the item of becomingness is more important than any other and there is a suit for every figure this season. Women should find themselves more becomingly clothed than in seasons where stjdes are less varied; at present there is every chance to suit in-, dividual taste. Two of the plainer suits, are illustrated above. At the left the model so one of those that refuses to dispense with a vest in a contrasting color, that had such a vogue during the'summer. But it shows a coat much lengthened ang a skirt comfortably wide. Its goilar and fastening are distinctly of the hew season, where colfartf are uniformly snug and cozy looking and either of fur or cloth. Its

straight lines by small tucks at each side of the coat, but a narrow belt of the material adjusts them to the figure in a way that is easy and smart. In the suit at the right there is a revelation of the liking for fancier designs in tailored clothes. Oddities of cut, with new fabrics and new colors, make a strong appeal to individual taste and account for many unusual designs. Duvetyn, peachblow, velours and similar cloths are favored for suits of this character, and tricotine is best liked for the plainer models, although this is no hard-and-fast rule. Brown, taupe, reindeer, dark green, besides navy, are fashionable colors with which collars and cuffs of seal or beaver, squirriel and kolinsky look particularly well. .“-In the suit shown here Hudson seal makes deep piffs and a choker that will justify the added expensivehess of furs, which is considerable this year, by doing duty with other costumes. Very small tucks and very large buttons invite consideration as a trimming.
