Brilliant Conception
Whether thoy camo from the brain
of some brilliant American or blos
somed out of the long-trained genius
of -a French creator, the coat and
dress and hat which here make up an
exquislto costume proclaim tlio high
est art. From the crown of the head
to the tips of her toes the model pic
tured is correctly appareled in the
choicest offerings of the season.
The dress is mado of a soft satin
gathered into bands of a supple plush
at the bottom, and an ovcrskirt of the
plush which falls in folds from the
waist down. As in nearly all drosses
;of pllo fabrics the bodice shows a com
'blnation of chiffon and satin with
heavier fabric.
, Tho coat is the shortest of the throe
'fashionablo lengths from which one
may chooso. It is designed with a
jacket which falls to tho lower edge
of the belt. Tho belt is noticeably
narrow alfd inconspicuous.
Tho sleeves are full and gathered in

parts of tho country. Thoy arc mado
of falllo silk, poplin, or similar silks
woven with a heavy rep, but may bo

a short plaited skirt Bot on It. Thero
is a wldo bolt of velvet, with a squaro
hanging tab at tho front, which hooks

to a soft cuff. A very clover aim
original touch appears in tho cuffs.
They are merely bnnds of tho plush,
edged with satin-covered cord and ex
tended into a pointed end. This end
is slipped through a narrow band of
tho plush which forms a slide llko tho
ond of a bow of ribbon.
Tho neck is finished with one of the
many new high collars, but it is not
close-fitting. It is finished with a tio
of tho satin-covored cord. Pearl but
tons having a dark rim are used for
fastening the coat from neck to waist
lino. Tho skirt portion Is straight and
gathered into tho bolt at-tho sides and
back.
The last word in shopping bags and
walking boots finish tho details of a
chic and entirely correct ensemble.
All neckwear apparently closes In
front. Tho net chemisettes, however,
frequently closo in tho back.
- Season Coats
tho loft appears to bo a combination
of both dress and coat. A box-plaltod
skirt portion is sot on to a long waist.

This portion is lined with a light thin

with hooks and eyes and 1b finished
with soutache braid put on in a Van
Dyke pattern. Tho sleeves aro plain

In about tho faco with several rows of
shirred tucks. It Is gathered In to tho
Bhapo of the crown by circular rows of
tho shirred tucks at tho back.
