Mode Brightened By Plaid Woolens

Strikingly handsome and gay plaid woolens are enlivening the present mode in more ways than one. Young girls are wearing plaid wool skirts topped with cunning snug velvet jackets crowning the costume with a jaunty Scotch plaid little hat. Plaid is also fashionable for jacket suits and the topcoats of plaid showing this season are gorgeous to behold. Some are made in soft dressmaker style; others are strictly tailored. The monotone coat lined with plaid is also a style winner. One of the newest notes sounded is the use of plaid in an accessory way. Milliners are making hat and bag sets of bright wool plaids that set off the new black coats and dresses to perfection. When the plaids trim monotone forest greens or browns or the new wine colored wools they carry the costume color in their own weaves highlighted with multi-colored plaided patterrrings.
