This is Indeed an hour of \ triumph for the cloth suit and , ensemble. No autumn or win ter wardrobe can be truly modish which omits one 3r more of the cloth masterpieces, such as the smart set is wearing on most outdoor occasions. L It is thriving role which these en semble costumes of “nifty” worsteds are playing. Because of the versatil ity of the woolen weaves employed in their making, because of their “snap py” styling, their artful coloring and their delightsome unusualness suits and ensembles are receiving the hom age of the style-world. There’s simply no use resolving to be economical when It comes to buy ing one of the swagger suits as fash ion presents them this season. The cloth costumes which ore laying siege to the heart of all fashionable woman kind are not built on the economical plan. The fur trimmings are a revela tion. Not only do furs on the tweed and novelty cloth suits grow more lav ish, but their entirely new handling captures the eye at every turn. One of the smartest entrants into the snlt arena is the beaver or seal-trimmed model. Sometimes an ensemble omits fur only to intrigue In some other artful way.

In the Instance of the ensemble pictured even the chic printed silk which lines the finger-tip length jacket and makes the blouse is printed in varied gray tones.
