That grace, utility and ease can be embodied in the motorist's clotbes 1s evidenced in the productions now to be found in any of the well equipped shops catering to this trade.

The mancdates for the sults are that the eouts be cut Norfolk with belts and box- plaits. The coats are cut yoke effect, the yoke extending to the top button of the cost and to the beginning of the plaijs. The beits close with two buttons and are, of course, of the same matesial and pattern as the balance of the garment. All edges, lapels, cuffs and pockets are lap seamed.

For the gentlemen drivers the caps are of English Yacht, golf or Eton styles. Also some negligee tele- scope effects are permissible. The trousers are cut peg-top with tai- lored cuff buttons and are all of the full knickerbocker effect. The cuffs-on these| trousers are either button or lace at the, knee. These trousers are similar fn style to those in vogue for the cyclist during the height of that craze a few years ago. Puttee leggins are worn with this costume, the button or lace effect on the cuffs show- ing a little bit above the lezgln top. The materials chlefly employed in the construetion of these suits are of whip- Porteous & cord, petrel cloth, kahki and natural lin- ens. In whipcords the popular shades are, tan, pear] and gray, and in the petrel cloth, brown. The kahki and linen suits| are of the matural umbleached shades of those materials. There are several styles of top coats per- mitted to the motorist. There are the| Raglan, gaberdines and slipons. The rag- lan overcoats are cut along the lines of the conventional raglan styles. Variations are coufined only as to Jength and fullness. Some have the-regular collars with a tab aitachment at the throat, so that it may be clasped snugly as a protection from| wind, rain and dust. Others have a pro- tector collar made to fit snugly at ¢ throat.
