known as the Beau Brummel'' is much
affected by ladies who have a leaning to

becomingness. The coat is not we'll
adapted to summer wear in the South as
of necessity it is of cloth and must be lined
with silk. It is usually worn over q
blouse of silk and skirt to match. 1t
may, however, be worn with smooth
waistcoat of suitable material. The
body of the coat fits snugly, is somewhat
short wasted and buttons with three
buttons, solid gold If thy purse can buy.
The revers are continued from collar,
half standing and slightly rolling, to the
the first button and are rounded in out
line. The glgot sleeves are slightly
buffant at the shoulder and button
closely from the waist to the elbow, the
small buttons being covered with the
material. The skirt part slopes from the
hips and terminates as does the 'spike
tail - two of the gold buttons being at
the waist line. Coats of course require
shirts, and the popular style is what is
known as the ''Vassar. 1t is made
very nicely, with front tucks and finished
with cuffs. A standing collar with
I turned over points Is worn with this.

was trimmed round the pointed bottom
with band of velvet. Full sleeves

broad brimmed front, trimmed with
tulle of the same shade as the dress,
made as artistic suit as one will hope
to see and, one suitable Tor many differ
ent summer sctnes, from its very be-

Jackets were.never more popular than

under the arms, q jabot of lace down the
front and a Fedora jacket gives the

velvet are put on, and puffs at the Shout
