Box Coats Versus Tight Coats.
Letters from the fashion centers of
the Old world show that the leading
manufacturers of both cloth and fur
garments are ewnatundecided as to
Just how the dear ladies VIII regard the
loose back or ''box" coat. This article
IN seal makes an ex.re mely ''nobby'
garment, and will doubtless sell to some
extent among young ladies and fashion
able ladies' generally who have other
11r garments and want change, but
we Go not regard it as a staple article at
all. "Reefers" are sure to sell. They
are at once handsome and comforta-
bic garment, and adapted to fig
ures that are not helped by too
close outlining, and to tall, slight
hgures as well. Garments of all kinds
Will have extra large collars and fuller
sleeves than ever. AS to length, all
lengths Will sell, and the fact is that
Jackets about % or 81 inches long are
really far more natty articles OH good

generally than any lengths ever made.
While Cloth Jackets are shown 50 to 40
inches long. they certainly ale not
pretty on the average figure, and in fur
are far less so. A 3O-inch Working Coat
or Refer will surely be the article.
though all designs have been figured on
garments 30 to 36 inches length. The
loose Fronts and Refers do not sspan
OUT in lengths over so inches. The
stylish, we'll balanced look is gone. and
we think the season will show the pop
ular garment will still be in the short
lengths.
The popularity of Mink and Plucked
otter In garments is growing rapidly,
and they are both articles that are sure
to lind much favor in this section. as
they possess great wearing qualities,
are very handsome, and can be made at
prices within the reach of the masses.
This class OF goods must be ordered
very early to get good work and nice
matching OF skins, as the work is
troublesome. and in the rush of season
rarely turns out nice.

Ladies do not fully appreciate the ad-
vantage of selecting or ordering their
Fur Garments "Out of season." if they
did. the furrlerS would all be pleased,
ASST would allow more equal division
OF work and avoid the always annoying
rush and push of the fur months, from
October to January. Our trade is fairly
we'll posted on this fact, and we advise
every lady to come in now and talk over
what She wants in new furs or the
changes to be made to old ones. Get
them all under way; save money, time
and annoying delays later. We know
all now about styles, and what to advise
you to get. that we will if you walt until
October. You can buy now on INSTALL
ment payment and get everything in
your favor, while later on YOU may
have to go from store to store to get
your work done or order taken, and then
have to be subjected TO broken PROM
iseS and ANNOYING delays. Very truly
