TWEEDS
Tweeds! They come back to us every year in one guise or another, and this year there are two principal varieties —a closely woven one with a surface taut enough to prevent coats and skirts from losing tlieir shape, and one that looks like homespun. The colours of both are charming. In the closely woven ones there are some delightfully soft tints, one two-piece seen at a recent dress show being of pale rose colour with a creamy fleck in it. There was a skirt which slipped on over the head and was held in place by a kind of bretelle arrangement over the shoulders, a blouse of pink and white striped washing silk being worn with it. Over this, for sport or walking, one donned a charming sleeveless waistcoat, cut low and with a rounded effect in front. A tiny crescent-shaped pocket on one side held a rose-colour handkerchief. Instead of pleats, the front of the skirt had a rounded apron panel which was stitched down, to correspond with the rounded effect of the waistcoat.
