COACHMEN'S COATS FOR YOUNG
LADIES' WEAR.
The Woods of the Season-OutdOOr
Garments-Diverse Fabrics
September Notes.

From our REcoRD-UNfoS Correspondent
To marry q %coachman, as Schelling mus
acknowledge, is a crime; to desert him, q
greater one; but 10 wear acoachman's coat
is thought one of the p~rettiest things 9
young lady can do. II must be of smooth
| colored cloth, chiefly tan, brown, dark oil
gray blue fitting closely, long, double
breasted, and with turn over collar. These
will be extremely popular this fall, and by
means of heavier Innings may be worn all
winter. Other favorite jackets will be also
tight fitting and double breasted, bat short
and of fancy cloths, diagonal, chevron-
boucle, or simulated braid cloth, usually
colored. The small velvet, plush and
beaded nantes introduced last spring, will
be stylish enough this season and new ones
are made in the same way. For winter
wear. thick WOO. cloth with beaver back,
displays the new ideas prominent in wool
for costumes, such as simulated braids,
chevron patterns, ETC., c%olors, of course,
corresponding.
o WOODEN GOODS.
Woods are not only imported in great guam
ties, but in very noticeable novelty of style.
ChevrOn woods are such as show diagonal
weavings in all sizes, so set about as to pro-
duce singular results. Very broad inch
wide) diagonal stripes traverse half a
breadth, meeting obliquely in the center,
and a feature in making up will be the
placing of this center in the center OF
backs, in panels, etc. From such extreme
there are all gradations and variations in
ehevrOn stripes, many being very fine, and
set about in fancy squares as a diversifying
element in stripes. Ordinary diagonals in
consequence come largely to the front. as
likewise serges. The hair line striped woods
of last spring reappear this fall in heavier
weight and increased variety of colorings,
and are additionally stylish by the fine
twill between. Cancels hair cloth is rem
dered gay by narrow stripes, from which
bright-colored hairs extend in porcupine
quill style other woods display combina-
tons of chevron weaving, bourette and
boucle loops, as where a circle or square OF
chevron is surrounded by bourette dots,
from which depend loops. Another marked
feature in woods are the simulated braid
patterns. This is q very unique idea, and
has the effect of open work braid trim
mings, in greater or less number, set on the
goods, but which, however, are woven in as
part and parcel. One had best give free
range to fancy here, since it would be i'm
possible to do justice to the many different
styles and widths, while unions of color
come in at times as a completing element.
For the most part, the several features in
woods just mentioned appear separately,
but again they are united III fanciiul ways.
THE MIXTURE OF DIVERSE FABRICS

more apparent, but almost without excep-
ton in stripes which take the place of bro
cades. Stress has already been laid on this
idea but it is so prominent that some repe-
tition is not amiss, as well also, as mention
of quite new examples where plush is ar
ranged in fancy ball patterns, forming
stripes on wool. Very fine wool stripes in
rich Oriental hues alternate with plush
or velvet, and there arc silken passe-
mentrie cords, woven in fine wool,
that have the appearance of being
set on as trimmings. Black and dark col
ored beads swell the list of variety giving
~fancies quite fine and usually alternating
in rows with some of the striped patterns
Just mentioned, although there are expen-
sive woods where bead work is set about in
mathematical Or interlacing designs,
TO the exclusion of floral figures.
Apart from unison of wool and
velvet, in the same piece, special
style will attach to of plain wool
made up with plain velvet. Here the cor
sage and drapery will be of the wool, with
underskirt of velvet and sometimes. per-
haps, velvet sleeves. Wool velvets are
among new importations, and are COM
bined with frise stripes or bands set on.
There is always, however, a large class OF
conservative people who turn away from
pronounced novelties, and for such there
are the customary importations of plain
cashmeres; cloths, silks and v~elvets. Fash
ionably made, such time-honored fabrics
have quite as much prestige as anything,
with the advantage of being always warm,
and capable, therefore, of being remade
upon occasion.
