embroidery. The coats are cut SO that
they fit the back closely and gracefully.
They are pulled into the yoke over the
shoulders and hang in long. straight
pleats to the dress hem. In front they
are very slightly fulled, and are almost
invariably lined with some soft warm
fur. They suit every one, being cosy

a box with their hair eXquisitely ar
ranged. The coils on the top of their
well-shaped heads were carefully dis
posed to show the best points. The hair
was carried to the back in series of
pretty waves, of course carefully man
