There is the sport suit, for which America and Americans have become so famous; there Is the medium suit for every occasion, and there Is the dressy suit which, this season, has dissolved Itself Into the costume dress. But each Is as popular and as neces sary aa the other In Its own way. and each one of them Is destined to hold a place In the season's fashions. Among the tailored suits there are many with coats that are very long That Is, they may safely be called three-quarter leugth, for there Is only a fraction of a skirt left showing be neath the ending of the coat. Then, these suits are cut In such a manner ■— Elgin, Waltham and Howard MANY WITH VEUT LONG COATS It Is hard to pry the American woman loose from her friend, the tailored suit It la one of her most becoming assets She likes It, she feels well dressed when she wears it, and hers la the figure that displays It to the very beat advantage. And, observes a fashion authority, when the calendar says that autumn la Iters, the suit b-oiues the first noticeable change In dress expres sion. A prominent maker of suits—a man who has devoted the whole of hit life to the study of this one by-path In women's wear—said that he had had just as many. If not mure, calls for suits this season as be had had any season In the past. Tills stutement was made In the face of the fact that the general Impression seems to be.

The lengths of the skirts In the suits, it Is nice to be able to say, have not changed so materially that the change la quick to catch the eye. They seem to be about the same, although they are really longer than those ex treme knee-length ones of the sum mer. It behooves us to stop and think, however, that certain members of the community attempted these ultra- short iff a Ira. and that most of the Just Arrived that they can keep the straight, long line« fur any figure. They are totally without fullness, to be sure, but they have u miraculous way of keeplug stalgbt In spite of everything. Every thing shout them is seemingly tightly fitted.

A tailored suit of this variety was made with bindings of its own material, which material was broadcloth, by the way, and these were cut almost an Inch In width. These were laid on as flatly as could be around every concelvab!“ edge and stitched closely on either side. The color of the suit was a dusty taupe und the stitched edgings made a good-looking finish. Have Low-Cut Reverá. Most of these strictly tailored suits have low-cut revers, so that the clos ings of the coat come just above the waistlines. Then, this opening leaves room for the whitest and daintiest of French blouses, the latter being the touch without which the suit remains as nothing worthy of notice. As for materials in the tailored suits, well, there are twills and serges that forever will be eminently satisfactory In this connection, and there are some soft, fine duvetyns and wool velours. Sults with inure or less of trimming come tv us from the French designers, and, with a certain type of woman, are generally appreciated and wort; <a this country. Most of these, this sea son, are made with the longer waists und with slightly bloused effects at the waistlines. Then the embroidery Is used for n wide dr a narrow band around the bottom of the peplum, for the cuffs, for the collar, and some times for u band to run uloug the line w here the closing of the coat Is effect ed. tine of these from I'nris was made In that darkest of brown shades, which the French ure pushing this season. It was then trimmed with masses of silk embroidery in a slight ly lighter shade of the same color, and the trimming was concentrated over the hips in large triangular sections grouped of smaller triangular figures. Tills was all the trimming there was about the suit, for the cuffs of the rather loose sleeves were left plain, ns was also the collar, which but toned tightly around the throat. The Russian influence pushes Its way into the suit category more success fully than It manages to de in oth er types of costumes. The long-walst- ed blouse, the thick girdle, the straight bands of fur and the brilliant colors lend themselves to the designing of the suit with admirable facility. Peacock Green Duvetyn. A Russian blouse suit was made of peacock green duvetyn with a very thick and heavy surface. The bloused section of the coat was long enough to completely cover the hips, and under neath that was a straight sort of pep lum of the width of only about five or six Inches. There was a twisted girdle of heavy silk threads with the longest imaginable tassels ending it. And there were collars and wide cuffs of krlmmor In a very dark gray shade. Another suit of this same character and general line of cut In a deep rust shade had for trimming an arrange ment of heavy, loose knots of dark gray wool that were massed together quite evenly until they took on a sur prising look of trimmer or some other lamb's wool fur. Fur, Indeed, is used for trimming many of the winter suits, but the fact of the matter Is that in most cases It is very sparingly used. Thera are straight, choker collars and the smallest of cuffs, and only seldom Is there n band of fur seen around th« bottom of the peplum. And the furs are mostly of the short-haired vari ety, for the rule seems to he that, when one wants fox or sable, then the animal Itself must be brought Into the limelight and fetiched as the piece de resistance of the street costuiu« » -................. ■ ■ .-It LACE TRIMMING VEILS CAST THEIR MAGIC SPELL AGIC lurks In the "laces and ! graces” of the new trimming 1 veils. Even the most demure ' pair of eyes sparkles in flirtatious mood, when veiled In silken mesh of alluring pattern. "With every hat a veil” seems to be the spirit of the day. By no means, however. Is It an ordinary veil. The vogue Is for elaborate lace trimming veils and they are draped and ar ranged with fascinating grace. Inspiration for veil arrangement has been druwu from the picturesque peo ples of the world. The Spanish In fluence, perhaps. Is reflected most of all, for style creators have selected sunny Spain this season for the well-spring of ideas. The Egyptian vogue which features over-the-ear ornamentation Is reflected in the lace drape as Is also the Oriental half veiling of the eyes. Just now, cire black lace, heavily patterned, is very popular. Brown and taut»e colored laces are exceedingly smart on black hats. Milliners rely on the transforming power of a drape of lace, for under Its transparent mesh the simplest hat Is converted Into a "creation" of highest achievement. The Illustrations above present three distinct fashions. Egyptian headdress Is suggested in the drape of the ex quisite clre lace veil covering a silver cloth turban, as shown in the circle. The center veil Is a novalty, which, as you see, is not intended to M cover the face at all but is frankly decorative, Imparting a certain at tractiveness to the entire costume. The chantilly drape In the oval Is of exquisite texture and demonstrates the alluring ehartn of the eyebrow curtain drop. The scarf ends are weighted with huge hollow Jet rings. The black lac« veiled hat Is the leading vogue for dress oceatlons. At all times these drapes are adjusted for esthetic effect rather than for utility purposes. Fur hats have eyebrow curtains of gold or sliver lace. In these the brims are of the upturned cuff ahape. Some times gold flowers are bordered at ths top rim of the hat, apparently holding the metal lace In place. The newest black and white Intel* pretatlon, is for a brim of ermine, over which 1« thrown a black lace veil, caught with Jet pins. • The dinner hat, with transparent metal lace, wide brim, has a cob-web mesh of gold thread, half veiling It, the same falling over the edge, weighted with metal bugles. Brown lace veils, or brown felt hats, are a popular vogue. Very effective are the black lace veils, bordered wttt
