Thero aro several things, however, upon which all agree the slender silhouette, sil-houette, the moro somber colors for day time wear" black, browns and grays leading nnd, striking contrast to these, brilliant hues for the evening.

A narrow belt of brown leather leath-er girdles it. Model of Moutsellne. An Interesting model Is developed In coral mousscllne do solo and gold cloth, with coral chains forming a girdle gir-dle nnd shoulder straps. It will bo recalled re-called that tho ancient Greek military dress showed plaits and oven thnt of tho present day carries a remnant of tho. idea of plaltings which were so characteristic of tho costumo of Grecco during tho height of their lin-perlnl lin-perlnl glory. Wo usually think ot Greek dressca as having been slmplo and beautiful always, consisting of ttio straight chiton a garment which was cut nnd partly sown or tho costumo achieved entirely by menns of drapery. Tho Greeks, howovcr, had changing fashions, fash-ions, Just as wo hnvo today. There wero periods of overclaboratlon, which saw tho dress laboriously and artificially artifi-cially folded. A Grecian, effect with plaits, very much modernized. Is developed In palo bluo crepo Itomnn. In color this model suggests tho Greek, being palo blue and gold, tho latter forming tho cm brojdery nnd bands on tho skirt and on tho Jacket A big doublo looped sash nt ono side Is seemingly a continuation con-tinuation of tho crepo bodice.

Block Is tho color selected se-lected for this suit, tho coat of which Is very long nnd slightly blouslng nt n low waistline. Tho sleeves lire loose and cut In ono with tho garment itself. Tho Interesting application of plaits lies in tho form of a fan-slmped fan-slmped panel on tho Jacket This panel has lino horizontal plaits placed as closely together us possible.
