No Cumbersome Weight. The only fault which can be found with them is their apparent lack of warmth about the lower portion of one’s anatomy on a frigid day, But to balance this is the comfort in walking with no cumbersome weight tugging at the ankles. And after «ll whoever considered. warmth where style was concerned? Certainly they will not be smart for evening wear, but this they were never intended to be. I was discussing these Jequette blouses—as he termed them—the other day with a prominent couturier. You kaow they are known under ya- rious names: the Balkan, the Rus- sian, the Jaquette, or merely “those adorable short Jackets.” He telis me that they are invariably one of three colors; black, which may per- haps be said to lead; beige, which is as smartly distinctive here as it is everywhere else in the realm of fash- ion; and white, so well liked this season and especially popular in these models with the debutantes and the young matrons. Regal Ermine. In bis interesting workrooms a charming bride-to-be was being fitted in a ravishing affair of regal ermine. It was a box model, hanging straight from the shoulders, and was 30 inches long. She confided that it is to be a part of her trouseau and that she will wear it principally with a wrapped gown of black velvet, whose side panel is faced with ermine. Since she expects to spend a part of her honeymoon at one of the Winter mountain resorts, she was also con- sidering a sports costume of white caracul which consisted of coat, knickers and the most fascinating tam o’ shanter. Some of the handsomest short coats which I have seen are of mole, either alone or combined with Hud- the la with q s much favor it must times ap lose fon geal, which is with velvet, very which ts bb: smart even sm is easily awar in whatever color or ne finds it. And the often than not follow this type of fur, together with broad- tall, krimmer and baby lamb. Acoat of cloth broadtail, or perhaps one should say, broad’ oth, with a collar and cuffs of platinum fox, and band of this same popular peltry at the bottom, is a great many women's idea of ultimate smartn Shaw!

And on these accessories 8 chapter might be writtea in themselves. It ts 0 easy to forget that reserve which inevitably spells distinction, and adopt a garish imitation-yowst stud- ded affair, which is a jarring note in the entire costume. Some of the newest coat buckles are of antique coat model, silver or gold with an attractive metal tassel, which is usually rather long. And there is nothing more graceful than a clasp of twisted braid with a fringe of the cords coming well down to the bottom of the frock. I saw a short blouse coat of + brown caracul recently with one of these corded clasps and tassels in a TOR THE TEA OF THE CONCERT OR LECTURE, TRE CONTFORT OF THE SHORT FOR COAT LS UNSURPASSED darker tone. It was ned with brown peau de cygne, except the band, which showed a lining of gold and blue brocade, which was cx- tremely effective. I suspect that a Jength of the new metal ribbon might be ricely used for this purpose, and, since it gives the inside of one’s coat & particularly charming appearance, you may like to try it yourself. Few Brown Models, I am surprised that one does not See more of the short coats in brown, since this color is so popular. Still, beige to a certain takes its lace and is invitingly worn, over the brown skirt. One young woman with an individual mind and a flair for style achieved distinction by turning the mode entirely upside cown and having a skirt of beige caracul topped with a Balkan blouse of gerona in the same tone. She may have borrowed the idea from a famous actress who wears a extent Every Housekeeper Has Her Pet Economies BE other thing. however, to find hi nice heavy white looked quite travaganc to say “We just heavy wash I called on a girl making some- t was my disms ipping into a oes h towel.

When large blankets are worn out at the foot, cut off the tops and cro- chet around the edges with some bright colored cotton.
