weather, must be provided with one
of these useful, if not particularly
ornamental costumes. The walking
skirts of th - simple and serviceable
tailored suits will
be somewhat
shorter this fall than formerly. In
tact, the skirt will almost touch the
graund.
Another radical point of
effect about the feet. They are mad.
difference is that skirts are made
tighter notwithstanding the flaring
effect about the feet.
They are
made so clinging about the hips at
front and back and sides, that, so
far as the knees, they resemble the
habit skirt of ten or twelve years
ago.
This change is undoubtedly
due to the influence of the sheath
skirt of Directoire fame and is really
only a modification of it. Although
from eleven to twenty-one gores are
used for walking skirts of simple
suits intended io.’ street wear, rod
the trend oi las t on is marked y to
ward that type, tl -re are still man»
plaited skirts to be seen in the ex
hibits.
These plaited effects are
usually in the medium side folds and
there is every probability that the
style will survive in a limited way.
Coats ot nearly every kind and
for any wear are somewhat longer
this year than formerly, of course,
some short jackets and some ex
tremely long coats accompany run
about suits, but the minimum aver
age length for the popular walking
coat Is thirty inches. A great many
colored and black coats are worn
with white or light colored skirts.
At h recent social function one sty
lishly dressed woman wore a gor
geous white corded meteor silk skirt
with a green silk coat, which had a
narrow black satin roll collar and
three huge black satin buttons on
each side of the front and on the
rleevs. The skirt was trimmed with
cturee net, over which was darned
a heavy conventional design done
with white rope silk.
Right pretty are some of the lit

They are ofen trimmed with hand
some laces or galloons and some-
times wlth rare embroideries. Silk
coats in the tone of the skirt are
more used than are cloth ones like
the skirt, especially in suits to be
worn for anything like dress occa-
slons. These coats are usually loose
and made in odd styles. in imitation
of the styles of twenty-five years
ago.
The Dfrectolre style prevails prln-
cipally in the coats of the broadcloth
suits,
The majority of them show
the short-waist effect, which is at-
talned either by cut or by trimmings.
The shoulders are narrower
than
formerly, the sleeves are smaller and
put into the arm-size with slight ful
ness or with none whatever. The
fronts, whether single or double
breated, with or without waistcoat,
are cut off squarely at the waist line
or slope sharply away from it Into
sides and back that are either point
ed or slashed at Intervals. The in-
croyable collar prevails, but not In
variably the sharp pointed typical
revers, and often there is a sash of
black or self-colored satin
with
fringed ends. In many cases an at
tached satin necktie Is tied in one
loop and two ends beneath the chin.

it is desirable to produce an elabor

instead of being braided I all over,
