New this Season.

Many tailored frocks as well as sports suits are made without collars and are finished at the neck -which may be either round, square or V-with a binding or facing.

The new materials have small checks or are striped. Harlequin and futurist designs are also new arrivals.

Blue in all shades is worn, but navy blue is a passion, especially when allied to pale pink. From Paris comes a new colour-ibis pink-a pink that looks like a ripe peach. This is a lovely colour for dance dresses.

Many coat pockets are patch ones.

Many suits have facings of checked striped material. Many tailored clothes have inlet strappings cut the reverse way. Many hats have old brims. Many crowns are smaller.
