While the classic continues with a tendency to a tighter-fitting coat and a high- " waisted skirt, many other kinds of coat and skit have appeared. They offer full possibilities for colour contrasts. · The Cossack sult is an a ternoon fashion; other decorative afternoon suits with contrasting blouses are in novelty silka, ribbed velvet. and velveteen. A neat sult of black " stiff silk with a fine line of raised embroidery like gathered ribbon has a jumper blouse of white with a similar embroidery in sliver.

London, Oct. 6 Nothing leads up to winter bet- ter than a classic tailor-made ault. It has gone through many vicissitudės since variations on tailored lines diverted our minds from Its neat charm, but just when least expected it returns into smart defalte style.

Like many of the most splen- did evening gowns, aults also ap- pear in rich gold-fashioned plain tones, such as darkest green, sap- phire, amethyst, brown, mole and lighter greys. They compale next tweed mixtures and woollens re- sembling sultings Flat furs are sometiges worked on to collars and long revers tapering off at a single button waistline fasten-

ing. Velvet as a substitute for fur is becoming.

Really they lend just the re- quisite amount of warmth at the moment, and look well in vivic contrasts chosen according to a colour scheme. This contrast, for example, might coincide with the primitive yellow washing through a red Paisley patterned blouse. worn with a dark bottle-green ribbed woollen sult,

Talking of bottle-green, you might like to change the one-but- ton jacket fastening to ve "or six. saddler-made ones of thick dark brown leather. This notion gives allure to a three-decker-pe- lerine set in a flat movement to reach the shoulders from an otherwise collarless neckline, Now we are veering from the classic!

Skirt fastenings change the erstwhlle aide hook-and-eye method to buttons run a short distance down the centre front" One of the latest innovations is a two-button "grip-to" set to run down from the waist, but at either side of the back. This skirt fas- tening is full of merit for straigh- ter skirts that show Bat fronts and very little flare at. hems. And do you know why? Because it preserves an unbroken line sur- mounting a flat box-pleat gore guaged carefully to widen out and give the right amount of walking "kick."

The motif is welded to the main part of the skirt at either side of the back through the medium of a quarter-inch machine-stitched Iine, which might be leafed out between the material in the na- ture of a loose Inserted tuck.

This method is introduced to vary that short silt-up at the cen- tre back which is more popular at the moment than side or cen- tre front ones for straight-tailor- ed walking skirta.
