THE VERY LATEST STYT F_s
[ Suit With Much Individual Style 1
One of those closely buttoned up,
trim-looking, high-necked suits, that
give to wearers a well-set-up, ef
ficient look, Is illustrated here. It is
of u sort, like the Russian blouse, that
may be made becoming to the slen
der figure and Is sure to be becoming
to plumpness, so that it is n happy
choice for either.
This suit has taken sides with the
advocates of the straight silhouette,
| so it takes intelligent management on
the part of the slim woman to wear It
successfully. She must see to It that
she does not look too flat chested in
it, and that the back is slightly semi
| fitting, In order to suggest some curves
I in her figure. These are matters to
take up with the dressmaker and the
corset maker. If they are managed
in the right way, her figure will be
Improved by this particular style.
By way of Individuality the cout has
several odd features. The sides and
[ back of the skirt portion are longer
than the front, where it fastens nt
the left It is cut to contrive a panel
with buttons at each side and it lias
nn original Idea in half-belts. Two
tabs, fastened in at the side seatus,
have rounded ends. Joined by a fold
of the goods. This fold Is finished
with a little silk soutnche braid. Each
tab has a long buttonhole with a silk
covered ornament slipped through Mt
instead of a button. The band of fur
about the neck may be detachable
with a high velvet collar or one of the
material of the coat under It.
Panels set In or panels ranging
loose, but panels anyway, are to be
expected on the suits and frocks of to
day. The skirt in this suit proclaims
Its allegiance to this fashion by plaited
panels set in at each side. It is other
wise plain and Is of regulation length.
One could hardly go wrong in choosing
a well-fitting suit like this.
