THE cool wave of yesterday caused COM
plete change in the appearance of the show
windows down town. Where there had been
light feecy laces and thin summer garments
good, 'honest woolens' and thick coats and
wraps. Dresses of cloth warranted to stand
against the weather and furs of all sorts OF
animals, amphibious and otherwise, were
displayed teInptinsIy to make the woman
who was trying to keep warm by trotting
along the sidewalk rush in wildly and
byy something to enable her to de y
the shrill wind that whistled around cor
ners and filled her with chill surprise.
Merchants are ever on the watch
for weather conditions that Will enable
them to make an especial effort to sell a GER
tain line of goods, and those conditions cer-
tainly prevailed yesterday. Besides the out
door garments placed on exhibition, there
were so many blankets shown that one was
led to believe that the wholesale blanket
market had been cleared by Pittsburg dry
goods merchants. Among the blankets no
ticed were one or blue, with border of
a similar design in blue. They made very
gay contrast in the show win
great deal of comfort for chill night
One of the prettiest coats seen WIS
OF navy blue, in three quarter length. II
was tight fittin, and woud be very becoul-
ing to woman with pretty hgure. 1t was
set Off with deep cuffs ana collar, edged with
seal, and was very rich and appropriate to
the season. One of the characteristics of
coats this winter will be that they will fit
snugly to the figure, rule; although one
style that will not last long is a very loose
affair, with Vatican pleat in the back. Its
effect is to make woman look almost as
broad as she is long. A very preHy coat is a
long, tight fitting garment, with u coach
mans triple cape, and it answers the pur-
pose of a full costume. Later in tho season
the cape can be taken off and a fur cape
substituted. Capes of fur promise to be as
fashionable this winter as they were last
year.
