ODD JACKETS PUT TO MANY USES
An Idea For The Business Girl
Extreme chic and smartness can
be achieved by the working girl if she follows a formula given by Robert Kalloch, dress designer at

Kalloch's idea when developed, re- sulted in three semi-tailored suits in interesting fabrics and colours that are interchangeable. By combin- ing
a jacket of one suit with

skirt of another, one achieves a new
and interesting costume

Two gay print frocks are “must.”
These will carry any girl well into Fall. When combin- ed with a fitted redingote coat of light woollen and 2 Hattering hat, they take care of one's wardrobe in- to informal evening hours.
For more formal evening affairs Kalloch proposes a romantic pic- ture gown of organdy, chiffon or some other diaphaneous fabric. It should be in one of the soft pastel colours that men like, and which look Iso well under a summer moon.
Since taffeta is swishing noižily everywhere, a printed taffeta slip, worn under your tailored suit will make you sound exceedingly smart.
