The skirt has a loop" pocket over either hip and no belt. TWO NEW COLORS Beaver and jade, two of the season s new and attractive colors, are assembled assem-bled In this little Parisian suit of crepe and pussy-willow silk. iver a straight and comfortably Wide skirt is dropped a straight tunic that fastens at the side. The coat which, like the skirt, is of the beaer colored crepe and fastens at the clie Is quite stra'ight and bOX-Hke, with sleeves that flare towards the end of their three-quarter length An odd square collar that rolls up In itself and leaves the square-cut neck unadorned un-adorned ln front Is distinctive touch The motifs that adorn the costume are cut from Jade silk, appllqued to the crepe with a buttonhole and a sllk-covercd button in the center of each.

Here Is a r.irls ilrfss of flame color and blue, a beautiful Iridescent bloek weave and built quite on military lines, with the bodice buttoned up one side, the skirt straight, sleeves that are long, close fitting, and buttoned at the wrist.
