Dressy Effects of the Latest French and
English Garments.
Long closely-fitted coats that cover
the wearer from neck to foot are popu-
lar for useful wear in the morning
for shopping and travelling. They are
double-breasted, with revers collar. and
have usually the cross seams on the hips.
Very light tan kersey is used for these
coats, with stitched edges as their fin
ish and large white pearl buttons.
Other long coats of gray or tan checked
cheviot have a deep English cape to
complete them. Dressy French cloaks
are full round garments of light cloth,
with the yoke covered with lengthwise
stripes of gold bald. The fiaring collar
is similarly trimmed, and narrowly
edged with feathers. A belt at the
back is of the gold braid.
Bedford cords in gray, tan, and light
green shades are used for spring jackets.
They are of fashionable length, the
back fitted, the fronts straight, with
revers trimmed with gold braid in zig
gag lines. Light tan coats of smooth
cloth are in especial favor. and are
made with silk sleeves studded with
steel or silver. An applique trimming
of light gold braid in bow-knot designs
is on the low rolled collar of youthful
and pretty jackets of dark-blue cloth;
their only fastening is gold cord with
tasselled ends passed under the collar.

1t is suggested by a traveller that
law should be passed requiring a safe to
Ee placed in every Pullman palace car
for the use of the occupants. A Pull
man coach is nothing less than travel
ing hotel, it is urged, and its guests
should have the same opportunities for
comfort and security that are afforded
in any hotel. A traveller with valuables
on his person can, under the present
regime. resort to one of two alterna-
tiyes. He can go to sleep and take his
chances, or he can pay for his bed and
lie awake all night guarding his treas
ure. The opportunities for theft on
Pullman are numerous, and thieves
have very often taken advantage OF
them
