COLORS TO REIGN SUPREME nse ...Mail "and Metalfic Cloths, and Others of Crepe de Chine or Chiffon, New Fork --Some historians may know when the tunic started its eareer as a fundamental: fashion 'in the clothing of the human race, but no one has stated the exact date with an at- tempt at accuracy, according to a prominent fashion authority. There are many who believe that it whs the first garment worn by smi and Eve, when they realized that ¢loth- ing was to be a necessity to thelr species. The tunic really followed the mantle, and from Elijah to William 1 of England is a long, long spell in his. tory, but we know that the former wore a mantle and the latter a tunic, Julius Caesar occupied 'a. place in the _ | sun between these two, but he wore a tog. Beau Brummel brought in coats and George IV, picturesque as he was in his costumery, blazed the path for the ugliest clothes that the men on this planet have ever worn, The tunic was a masculine fashion, as most garments: are that 'women think aré- their own. The critics of this generation fall upon women and smite them hard for thelr fripperies and frivolities, the whims and caprices of their clothing, and yet these critics are men who do not séem to realize that .all the centuries of progress "of the male part of the human race were given over to caprice and brilliancy in apparel, as well as to defeat and vic- réory in arms, \ War and the Primitive Tunic. No doubt the clash of arms In France brought back to the minds of the designers the long centuries of warfare that had preceded the peace since 1870. The tunic Was the funde- méntal part of the British watrior's | costime, and the -cuirass--that glit- tering breastplate of steel dnd highly polished metal---was the symbol of all fghters. So France Introduced the tunic of that other and primitive war- fare which she thought had gone fore ever, and suddenly found one 'August morning that {t had come to her with rll the cruelty of the early centuries. . She did her best to enforee this tunie mto the fashions of othér countries, but with small measure of success un- til late this autnmn, Afte# steady per- sistence, a trick she has in the mak. ing of all her forms of art, the'least of Models Made of Glistening Coatof-. ies 4 » may be cut according to 'the fashion of William I or they may be after the thauner of . Dagobert of France--long and wrinkled to the wrist. Building on this foundation, the de signets in America and Paris have thrown caution and economy to the 1 winds and accepted this new blouse in such an extravagant manner that they seem to be making up for that time when they let it rest neglected in the dark corners. r The cables from Paris insist that coat suits are much smarter than one: plece fi for the woman of fashion and her followers, but here tn America, even with the impetus given to tailored Outside blouse of gray velvet embrol. dered in black and trimmed with bands of fur. It Is worn with a skirt of black velvet embroidered in gray. Suits in the early autumn, the pendu. Jum appears to have swung back to one-piece frocks and luxurious wraps of fur and velveteen. Probably with the advent of early spring, with (he southward bound tourist, the coat suit will regain the prestige of October, If it. does," these extravagant, short, me dieval tunics' will have a high chance for development. In the interim, they Are worn not only With heavy tailored suits, but as tops to separate skirts, Can Be Made at Home. * It is in this department of dress that they are most: brilliant.
