For day and for evening wear, nothing is more popular than chiffon. Chiffon is being very smartly tailored this season, and is used even for tailored suits. "

The frocks accom panying the coat are also fashion- ed of the same crepe, and draw the inspiration for their adorn- ment from that favoured by the lining.
Bordered materials are also brought into use, and again the frock matches the lining.
