A Modish and Very
Uaeful Suit
of Chinchilla Cloth.
WHAT shall we wear in token that
Spring is here, yet as. protection
against the chilling winds of late
Winter and early Spring?
Such combinations I spread before you
on this page. It is possible to appear
in lightweight tricottnes. but It Is neces
sary to fortify ourselves against the pene
trating winds, of tbe season by furs or
velvet A good example of proper attire
at tbia uncertain time of tbe year is that
which is displayed on the right hand of
this. page. A simple one-piece gown of
tricotine. the skirt scant and untrimmed
and the bodice , relieved by a wide collar
and vestee of tulle, is the utility frock that
every thoughtful dresser has in 'her ward
robe
Ingenuity har been; displayed by a com
bination of cape and . coat That the gar
ment is fundamentally a coat is proven by
the manifest presence of sleeves. Yet it
wraps the figure gracefully as only a
draped cape can do.
The lower left-hand figure -will be of
greater afd to you in the study of a suit
able mode for a useful Spring suit. The
skirt Is long and scant, straight and un
trimmed. the greatest fulness being at the
hip line. The coat is straight,-nd hangs
full from the shoulder. Variety is intro
duced by the Insertion in front of a narrow
.piece of the material. It is straight and
half the length of the coat In front. The.
cloth-covered buttons are fastened by but
tonholes worked into large scallops, which
give the coat an .aspect more ornate The
sleeves are fuller than they were and
longer. The cuffs are wide and are fin
ished by cloth-covered buttons. Into the
cuffs are inset small squares of lighter
silk The material used for this modish
and useful suit is chinchilla cloth. It Is
lined with embroidered satin of a darker
shade With it is worn a short stole-lfke
neckpiece of kolinsky.
A walking suit of tricotine is offered tr
your inspection in the the large middle
figure A one-piece gown is worn nnder a
long belted coat of Russian suggestion.
The coat is nearly full length and held In
by a narrow embroidered belt, with an
enamelled buckle of a shade harmonizing
with the suit The skirt of the coat is
notably novel. It is gathered at the hip
line upon tbe upper part of the coat, giving
a yoke-like effect With this is worn a
skunk scarf.
In the tipper corner you see one of the
smart harbingers of Spring. It is a cu
riously shaped turban,- ver wide and flat
in front
One of the most striking features of the
Spring is the prevalence of the edatee.
Coatees are, as It were, built Into the gown.
being a portion of the, bodice in disguise.!
Or they form a separate garment.
