What You Will in Suits

.“What are they wearing?” in suits has ceased to be as interesting as “What are they showing now?” It has come to that women demand a variety of styles and a chance to indulge individual taste, and manufacturers have fostered these demand's by replenishing the retailers’ stocks with new developments of the season's modes. The story* for winter isxabout to close and it reveals that we may wear suits having a straight-lirfe silhouette or those with fitted waists, with equal propriety, that redingote styles have grown in' popularity and that velvet has made long strides since the of the season. It is in great demand for mid-winter. Except, for sport suits the manufacturers will have little more to offer this season, for they are already engrossed with sijits for spring and promise more radical departures from the styles of today than for many past seasons. ” Two suits, distinctly different in type, but each showing an iji|erpreta-

tion of the long co*at styles, are shown above. The stately model at the left is made of duvetj'n and reflects the influence of the redingote besides taking cognizance of the widened hip idea. It is trimmed with rat-tail braid and a few buttons and two vety narrow tucks in the coat, above the. hem, invite attention to the accuracy of the tailor’s aft. A further testimony is offered by a front panel that is cut in one with the belt and widens above the waistline, making a ’ smart diagonal closing at the left side. A muffler collar of sealskin bears out the elegance of this? design and probably ■adds more than a pretty penny to the 'price of the suit. . Silvertone is to be credited with much of the fine style which gives asto the wearer of the suit at the right. This fuzzy material with a silver sheen will delight the tourist and as shown here is a model that could not be improved upon for travelmg. ,t : f
