RE you one of those chic tailored girl types who has gone
into frills and furbelows this dressy winter? Stop it
There is no need to change your type. There are some exquisitely feminine things this winter that have plain, albeit graceful. lines. You can be yourself-and lovely!
The new tweeds you will love. But you can have them very tailored and yet not mannish.
Circular cut to skirt, slightly fitted jackets with some kind of a novel cutaway, run around or other front panel finish that saves the garment from gaucherie.
Instead of furs, you will probably prefer coats, jackets and frocks with their own scarf or other warm collars.
There are dozens and dozens for you to choose from!
INSTEAD of laces and fancy fabrics you may select the smartest of stock metal brocades, velvets in plain colors, and shimmering satias. These take to tailored cuts in many of the
amarfest.
Even when it comes to evening dresses, you do not need to wear feathers and brilliants to be chic as Paris itself. Fine materials, cut in classic simplicity and achieving a femininely tailored, line, are to be had. And they are not a whit less fer inine than the fussy and frilly things which are less practical and really less tasteful in the end.

I. FOR evening wear, you naturally will thun fludy things and lacy ones, for with your smart tailored chic you do not need them, and moreover, they do nothing for you.
Patou makes come charming evening gowns that seem created. for just your type. One of these is a heavy white crepe made with a volant simulating a bolero and flating to relieve the se- verity of a plainly tailored line at the hips.
This gown has the ornamentation of saly a handsome jew eled buckle and a jeweled pendant. Rich antique gold or silver is quite as effective, or a handsome piece of jade or some other valuable you may have.
But your ornaments should be of the same simple richness as your clothes. Be consistent. It pays in the long run. For your clothes then compliment the real you. And that leads to com- pliments from others inter.
II. FOR early morning golf or skating, a anappy little outfit consists of a frock of black and while tweed, topped by a white suede jacket, with zipper closing and a white suede betet to top it off.
The dress has a crew neck collar, a very unusual type for a dress, giving it distinction. It opens down the side onto the shoul- der. The skirt fares considerably, allowing enough room for skating.
The little while jacket is belted with a narrow suede belt and
bas a turndown collar and tight caffs to give it the desired femi- nine look.
The little beret has a becoming line of black around its fac ing, to tie it up to the black and white of the tweed.
FOR lounging you will want pajamas, probably, instead 11. of ea jackels, boudoir coats and negligees. There are some smart new ones in a popular shade, wine color. The trou sers flare comfortably, and have a sutart waistband of wine and lemon yellow braid.
The little bolero coat has smartly flaring sleeves which are very comfortable and attractive. The tuck-in blouse is a lemon yellow one, with a couple of buttons of the material backed by wine-colored velvet. The jacket has the lemon yellow for its lining.
IV. If you prefer a suit for work, notwithstanding the hent of most offices. Lelong has one for you a jaunty little blue and blue tweed, in dark and light tones of the color, an unusual combination.
The skit is almost severe in its lines, a wrap-around, but the little basque jacket is new and interesting. There is a suggestion of the double-breasted in the way it fastens way over on one side. And there is decided chic in the notched collar- and rolled revers and a very feminine atmosphere about the gen eral effect.
A light blue felt hat, a blue and blue purse and a touch of blue in a shoulder flower give this quit still further feminine allure. It is an excellent model well adapted for wear under a fur coat...
V. IF you happen to be quite stunning, though of course it would never do to admit it, and if you are tall, there is garment on the market this winter made just for you. It is the rather formally cut antelope jacket, a handsome piece of ap parel, smart with tweed and just as smart with broadcloth. Quite dressy in fact, though it is really simple in line and rich in-at- morgbere.
An extremely interesting version of this important antelops jacket is a rust brown one from Jay Thorpe made with enough fullness to give it a bloused effect when its belt is fastened. It has vertical pockets to put your hands in for warmth, sleeves that belt tight at the cuff, and an original self-collar that has a long, wide scarf attached that can be worn tied like an Ascot, in 'n loop on one side, in a bow or thrown dabingly over the shoulder.
This con! is most effective as shown with Chanel (weed dress in rust, with a tailored vestee and collar of white and a rust colored bow tie at the throat. The hat is rust brown like tho cont, a sportsy model of felt that fulfills the harmony.
