Bible When we consider the tradi-` tional 'cl_:leness of Fashion, it seems as though the life of the pocket has been very long, in- deed; but the pocket still our- ishes on suits, coats and dresses and shows not the-_sl-ightest signs of becoming extinct, The latest developme _t in this line 7 is the long, ' loop-_like pocket. placed over the hips and standing away from the skirt. The smart afternoon dress of black satin shown in the _"s'ketc'h` illustrates this `type of pocket,and the new tie-on collar which crosses in front and ties at the back, somewhat like the tie-on jumpers. '1`he_,_lon_g loop pocket is usually Inade of a color which contrasts with the dress. orelse it is of the same material but its presence isemphasized by some trimming in bright silk embroidery or in beads. Or, if it is made of the same material, it is simply. lined with a.co'ntrast- ing color. - _ . `The Pinched-Back Coat - Hip-length coats. with the pin- ched effect at the back and straight front are very smart for the serviceable suit for daily wear or for the sports suit. The back is belted with a rather wide belt stitched "down over short pleats, which produces` the pin- ched effect. ` 1Wi-thy `this type of. coat the `full'7,boi:'_pleated skirt makes an excellent costume.

Box pleats and side pleats are very freely used, and "this means that a good deal of mat- , erial is used in a dress or skirt. The pleats hang in straight lines, getierally - eunstitched, while" in some cases they are stitched as far as the hips and -below that point are pressed into position. 1` A v7S51~f7`56; Smart for Sports or Daily Use Pockets Still Persist Christmas Cheer~---St. And- rew s Sunday `.Schcol, Mrs. W.
