WOMAN’S WORLD

Inverted Pleat. Cream coat frocks with royal blue trimmings arc prominent, anil crcarn inverted pleated skirts are the very first favourites everywhere, women of all ages wearing them. These inverted pleated skirts must not lie confused with the accordion-pleated skirt worn the winter before last. They are pleated in various widths, varyingfrom * to lin. jn breadth, and arc very superior articles to the old fashioned knife-pleated skirt. Those skirts often seen with jaunty red and navy sac coats, semi-litting to the waist, and with inverted pockets in front, piped with navy and bright red. Navy semi-fitting coats and skirts (with inverted pockets as described above) with white Peter Pan collar and cuffs are dainty upon tall slim wemao.

Ask your friend who wears a coat frock if she would be without it. If you take ter verdict you will have one too—why not the winsome garment depicted above? The panel effect on both sides is obtained by braiding, same braid wjll trim the cuffs. Soften the throat with fur or feathers.

Use black velveteen to make vftis Sumptuous garment. Paper patterns arc easily procurable for such a stylish cape as illustrated to-day. Of course, the cepe is for the tall and fairly slender —taboo for tne short and full figured.—9-8.

This suit follows graceful linos with the coat fashioned to fall in slight folds and the skirt fairly tight and plain.

Slowly bull surely a shorter skirt is, regaining favour. Spring fashion here is likely to reflect the English vogue for skir.V nine to twelve inches from the ground.
