While trim and straight, these do not follow exactly the lines of the Prin cess of some seasons back; they aro! usually belted, sometimes panolled and yoked. Belts play an Important part this season. Few costumes but show them; on the Princess they are often merely half belts, that Is, they extend from side front to sldo back, separated by a panel at front and back. This flat, smooth appearance In front and back Is one of the new notions this season; all pleats and gathers are confined over the hips. Mnny of the tailored coat suits have belts of patent or shiny motor leather. These are often ornamented harmoniously with aplique designs of colored suede; the soft, dull harmony of the suedo makes effective con-! trnst and lends a distinctive touch to1 the suit. One sees, also, belts of the same material as suit, or dress, piped i sometimes with suede, patent leather,, or a vivid color; the effect Is smart j nnd atrnctlve. Buttons, too, lend their aid in bringing In the bright' touch of contrast that Is required! this season In our smart dark cos-' tunics.
