_' PAGE TEN -- -- ls Genius that expresses itself in small things is truly great. Medio- cre talent finds little difMculty in dealing with problems whose £olu tion is self-evident, but when it comes to the manipulation of little details fn such a manner that big resuks are produced, then it is that the master hand is needed : Some of the biggest problems in dress designing have to do with the disposition of minor tri gs. Self- garpitures play such an important part in the decorative cheme of fashionable frocks that thelr arrange ment reduces itself to a question of skill, Shoulder straps ¢ xploited in the form of suspenders are engaging the attention eof the best coutouriers, and the remarkable uses to which they are put are the dirmay of the average dressmaker. The newest suspenders are made to do real ser- vice, therefore more closely resembl ing a part of masculine apparel than a bit of feminine adjustment, They support girdles of all widths and shapes, hold up skirts and are used in numerous ways with the patch pockets that adorn almost every form of tallored skirt or coat. On frocks of delicate materials they are converted into shoulder bands of exquisite beauty, being made of satin, velvet ribbon, chiffon and strands of brilliants or jet. Pleats and bias folds are other de- {ails that are treated with unusual cleverness. With the revival of the short, circular skirt the box pleated waist has returned. This is a combi- nation that has ever found favor with conservative as well as with fas- tidious women. Now that the sea-| son of tub frocks is closer upon us| the demand for simple skirts and | waists that can be worn with fancy | cuff and collar sets is increasing. Light weight coats for spring and summer are. establishing an enviable | record for themselves, for they are chic with almost any kind of a frock: Developed In the big plaids and checks they look best, and the brigh- | test of colors are used. There seems to be a very strong liking for the high, close collar, because the latest coats have the neck finished in such a way that the collar can be button- ed close to the neck or.turned back. Well-dressed women contmue to} sing the praises of the Norfolk jack- et, because it is trig and comfortable. Checks and mannish mixtures natur- ally suggest themselves for the deve- lopment of the Norfolk sult, yet ad- vance models are displayed in linen, cotton gabardine and tub materials of substantial quality.
