Suits Differ in Details of Design

In suits, as in frocks and hats, there 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 than casual study; they lie in small details of design. At the beginning of the season suits presented coats both short and long, but the longer coats have persisted and are accepted. Skirts are wider and have gradually grown fllittle shorter than in the early models. A happy medium is always a safer choice in street clothes, out 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 I seasons where styles are less varied; at present there is every’ chance to suit individual taste. Two of the plainer suits, are illustrated above. At the left the model is 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 and a skirt comfortably wide, Its collar and fastening are distinctly of the new season, where collars are uniformly snug and cozy lookfag and either of fur or cloth.

' straight lines are emphasized 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 strfarr. J In the suit at the right there is a revelation of the for fancier designs in tailored clothes. Oddities of cuR with new fabrics and new coli ors. mflke a strong appeal to individual taste and account for many unI usual 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 I green, besides navy, are fashionable colors with wideh collars and cuffs of [seal or beaver, squirrel and kolinsky look particularly well. lu the suit shown here Hudson seal makes deep cuffs and a choker that will justify the added expensiveness of furs, which’ is considerable this year, by doing duty with other costumes. Very small tucks and very large buttons Invite consideration as it trimming.
