| XIV. velvet coat il worn over gowns OF
! thin fabrics
These coats are very fetching indeed
| They are made with loose, open fronts
, reaching an inch or two below the waist.
The sides and back should fit ike a
glove and extend in large basques, like q
coat tail. The velvet should be black or
some dark shade, and the front and
tails are richly trimmed either with en-
broidery done in the velvet itself or
beaded passpmpntrie. The front is filled
in with full shirt of the same light ma
terial rs the dress, and rich lace jabot
is worn with it. The collar OF velvet
must be trimmed TO match the tails. and
so should the sleeves be, which are long
and slightly pulled at the shoulder.
Long jackets reaching well below the
HRS are also made of velvet or very fine
cloth to wear over light skirts in the
house. These Jackets open over waist
coats of light cOlored silk. with long
flaps richly embroidered round the edge.
the sleeves reach 10 the hand, and are
ornemented with lace rulfies at the wrist,
lace jabot being also worn at the
throat
The belmy air OF October and the
numerous weddings that usually occur
during this NOM b make the question OF
travelling costumes important. Those
who are disposed 10 cavil at the word I'M
pOrtant used i'll this connection will only
have to remembe the dowdv figures so
often encountered in transltu to admit
its Use here is jusitiable. First of all
let no one fancy that black is good weur
for travel, II shows every speck of dust
aud as these specks settle into spots it
looks dowdy in the extreme.
For travelling nothing keeps so fresh as
gray, drab or fawn shades, aud q really
well-titiiug tailor made dress is much
the most styl sh for autumn or winter
journeys. Only il must be made of
hrst-rate cloth or tweed and by 1rst-
rate tailor. Nothing shows the differ
euce of make and material so much as
simple gown. The pretty colored silk
vests now worn with these dresses take
away all severity. and make them very
becom ng, and a variety OF vests may be
used with the same dress if it is of neu-
trail shade itself.
One of the striking features in autumn
travelling costumes are the stylish cloaks
that are SO becoming, that while they
are on II does not much matter what the
dress underneath is, but they often have
10 come off at a moment s notice, and no
wise woman will ever wear an uubecom-
ing or shelby dress under handsome
travelling cloak. Bark color is very
good color for one of these fascinating
with soft silk throughout and trimmed
with cock 8 feathers round the throat
and down the front. Nothing can look
more charming. Another pretty travel
ing clonk is made of dark green silk OF
cloth, lined with old-gold silk or |
satin, and trimmed either with full |
ruffle OF rich black lace, or with dark |
fur. A BRIDES travelling cloak ia made |
of light gray cloth of warm shade lined |
Wi vfeux rose Tx, aui trimmed with |
soft gray fur or feather trimming. All |
these cloaks are made either the Russian
shape with double fronts, or the rediu-
cote shape with long loose sleeves, and |
all long enough to cover the dress COM
pletely all around. The high Medici col
ars are much reduced in size, and many
Jf the newest cloaks are without them al
together, but very higl at the throat.
The sleeves, too, are reduced In height
II the shoulder.
There seems no disputing the point |
hat panui rs will be worn and that the
lay of straight, slim skirts is well nigh
Dver. This Is of course a subject of re-
ret TO all women of slim figure, but as
hey have always their slim sisters at
-antage they ought to be willing TO
iivide modes. The curves that exag-
.erate Hagsrth line of beauty are less
when fold and fullness is
kilfully adjusted, and oNly short time
will be requisite to reconcile the eye TO
oming change. In walking and travel
ng dresses the skirts are made to just
lear the ground, for even a small train
