Navys and blacks are be ing sold freely. Not only are many silk suits being shown, but silk trimmings are being employed on many of the dressier -worsted suits. For example, a suit of navy blue worsted has the tunic of black moire with collar and cuffs of the moire. A suit of green garbadine has a double tunic one of green taf feta alia bile of tlnmraterlal: Thir vest, collar and cuffs are of the taffeta. Another suit we show is made of a black and white check, with collar, cuffs and vest of black moire and black moire sash on the skirt. Com binations of this kind are very much in evidence in the market, and are meeting with considerable success. new In the way of stylos, materials and solors.

Many forms or coat-dresses, as they are commonly called, are being taken. In taffeta, In novelty cottons and in combinations of chiffon or lace with silk. So cleverly are separate boleros simulated that, in many cases, it is dilllcult to discern at a glance whether the garment represents a two-piece suit or a one-piece dress. The short, loose bolero finished with Boft ruffles carries out bo effectively the styles which call for fluffy effects that many smart gowns have these coat styles worked out In chiffon, in net, in .llk and in fancy cottons. Silk boleros are often used with the cotton dresses having short silk tunics, while the diaphaneous materials are used in coats on dresses of taffeta, moire, fancy crepes and prints. Many forms are seen. Another form of coat-dress shown by us Iiuh the Hepuiute-nllp-oit-JaeketT this being, in most cases, made of the dress material.

Moire, faille, qrepe meteor, poplin and various other silks are well represented In the suits now being made. The Interest In cottons surpasses the hopes of the most optimistic purchas ers. This applies to merchandise for popular prices, as well as to tho ex pensive qualities. There seems to be a disposition on the part of the more exclusive Bhops to bring out longer tunics, some reach ing seven-eighths length.
