Treveal any very startlingly

new silhouette.

For the day time, at any rate, shoulders are still square, but not exaggerated; waists are normal; skirts are nearly all straight, some pleated, some quite plain; and not nearly-80 short as those shown in the London collections; jackets of suits are mostly hip-length and very fitting,

And there are also many swing coats and long waisted coats in both double-breasted and single-breasted style. Re- dingotes are making another bid for popularity.

What is exciting and new is the riot of colour-even the most traditional tailor-mades in navy and black have revers. cuffs and pockets piped with the material of the blouse, which is usually patterned in the most vivid colourings.

Sometimes, in addition, the Jacket - has revers and cuffs of the blouse material, and the hat is also trim- med with it.
