THE "ODD" JACKET

ECONOMIC AND ADAPTABLE The little coloured coat of plain or patterned fabric, has increased its popularity this year. It is an economic and adaptable fashion, and can be used for so many occasions. A young girl who has to put up a good appearance in town on a small allowance, started the season with a black woollen dress and three coloured coats. One is in black and while broken check, which, with the black dress, and turban and a scarlet scarf, she can wear in town or country. A second coatin pastel blue, with a blue sailor trimmed with tiny black ribbon bows, is extremely chic for any town affair. Her third coat is in off-white woollen, which, with all-black hat and accessories, and a three-string pearl necklace, gives her a completely different appearance. I A Modern Dance Frock. These arc the sort of dross schemes we are all planning —mixing materials and colours effectively, but keeping to simplicity. One designer is showing day length dresses of dull crepe, with bodices cut like evening gowns—sleeveless and decollete—completed by matching boleros for general wear. Removing the bolero, you have a modern dancing frock. Another charming dance frock is the blouse-dross made of blonde lace. This buttons high with a neat collar and short skirt and is useful for many occasions.
