THERE is nothing exotic about the new fashions, yet new day clothes have certain dis- tinguishing finishing touches.

For instance, subdued colour- ed wools for the new suits are noticeably fussy in their trim- mings. Attractive suita whose! bodices are trimmed with strips of sable, or strips of seal, are the kind of dressy fashions worn with velvet taques.

New tweeds which are on the other hand, rather startlingly Brilliant are comparatively quiet in cut. They ure simple, almost revere in line. A new dress made of rough-surfaced mahogany wool looked pretty with a yellow jacket and yellow felt hat.

A new broad-ribbed Jumper has high revers, deep waist-welt, and on patch pockets showing the ribbing running diagonally, a button is cro- chotect in the centre of each pocket.

Blouses Are Waisted

MANY of the new frocks, some of

the new blouses, and a few of the new skirts are made with deep waistbands to give a kind of modi- fed Empire effect.

On the blouses, there seemed to be excellent opportunities for deep waistlines, perhaps because the soft blouse material gathers nicely into the curved top of the band.
