Two-Piece Costume Suits —$39.50, $55.00, $65.00 Many delightiul effects that show the tailoring art, including the hip- length coat, embroidered in bordered effect, or the universally becoming jacket that wraps around and jauntily fastens with a sash tie of s.elf or ribbon, and the Paletot coat that is distinctly new in its graceful lines— the kind of suit which appeals to many who find the semi-dress type exceedingly becoming and of very general usefulness. Strictly Tailored Suits —$49.50, $59.50, $65.00 As individual and beautiful, as fine fabrics, skilled tailoring and ex- quisite hand finishes can make them—of studied grace in line, no matter what style you may personally prefer, whether the long panel coat, the hip-length belted coat or the loose short box jacket—having for orna- mentation tailored effects in strappings and cordings.
