I have made a new discoVery-an lSoiat-
ed outer garment without trace OF cape
A departure from its species, 1t hangs
there an ugly duokling amid thron8 OF
cape-adorned coats. Some plying tallor
has tried TO touch It up, with rows Of
braid sewed round and round the bodice or
the coat, but he stopped there, and we do
not see the braid. for our eyes are accus-
toned to larger trimmings. The con-
trast was too striking between this plain
garment and the other wraps in the same
window. On most Of these fur appeared
in great abundance. A black satin cape
was profUsely trimmed with beaver, Of
which a large fiaring, tapping, pelerine
was made. Another cape of black velvet
had wide bands Of chirchilla fur around
the bottom and on the pelerine. A hand
some velvet ulster, trimmed all over with
guipure and Jet, was furnished with
cape edged with tiny ostrich tip trimming.
A double cape Of heavy black silk was
trimmed with sable. 1t had long tabs
which reached nearly to the bottom Of the
dress. These tabs we're trimmed with
wide flounces Of silk, and on these were
placed applique velvet and Jet points.
This was intended for an elderly lady,
Of course. IL is gratifying TO see that
the older people are beginning TO have
little attention paid TO their clothes. 1t Is
almost pathetic to observe an elderly lady
trying to gather from a number OF young
women's frivolous dresses some modih-
G. ton which would be suitable for her
10 wear. She must dress with elegance,
but not frivolously. Rich materials are
required, but they must be made rather
plain, though Jet and nearly all kinds OF
passementerle are entirely in keeping.
For wraps, sable, mink and seal are the
preferable furs.
So much for the older people, and now
let US look at young folks coats. We
have seen that the coats are longer this
season than last, and that the skirt of
the coat is quite full. The sleeves are
very large at the top and rather close Mt
ting at the hand. Nearly all have pelerines
or sleeve capelets or something fluffy
about the shoulders. Many coats are
made TO match the dress with which they
are worn.
Here is Jacket which IS recommended
more for its oddly than for its beauty.
IL Is made Of rough novelty goods to
match the dress. Made without darts
II hangs loose, not touching the figure
at the waist. Flaring capelets are gather
cd over full sleeves. A wide vest cover
Ing the whole front OF the jacket, seems
to button down on each side with large
buttons but r. is fastened on one side
A panel In the front continues the effect
Of the vest, and the whole makes a strik-
ing street costume.

not they, rule at Madras and In quebec
II ia the same IN the Pacific and In Az
rica: end In Egypt the feeling Is es-
rccialiy acute, for there the ousting only
took place yesterday. II Is TO good to
say that Il was either the fate OF war
or else the direct fault OF the French,
that they did rot do better. They care
rofhing for that. but only feel the rank
ling fact that 1t IS we, not they, VINO
are IN possession. Nor is this all; In
rctnal Countries, the trade II always
sliprlDg away from French into Engiisn
hands, and this In spite OF the fact tnat
the French often start under speciaiiS
favorable conditions and enjoy Govern
ment help
After mentioning as further cause TOT
the French dislike. the English refusai
TO interfere with the Germans when they
were overrunning France. and their ial'-
ure to pay that tribute to French genius
which the French think II should com
rnand, the Spectator continues:
"she detects, besides. a SNUG indine,-
ence TO her opinion about England WniCn

10 believe that II anything Is laughed AZ
or called barbarous or bad, In France IL
is killed; and the feeling that TINS cam,
is ignored. not aggressively-tha would
he a sor; OF homage-but in a way that
shows that it is not even realized Is
very hitter. They smart under our re-
turning In kind their own feeiing that'
IL the home Judgment is favorable, IL Is
not necessary TO trouble about the opinion
of the rest Of the world. Lastly French
men are not a little inclined 70 nate US
because we so stolidly refuse to maze
them and persistently treat Their haired
as II II were a mere alteration. and not
what they think they mean it 20 be,-war
to the knife. For a quick and irritable
people. our refusal to hate Them Is as
CALLING as contempt
is there any hope that the French VIII
abandon their present attitude, and come
to feel about us as we feel about them
usually with kindness, and never with
anything approaching blind, bitter hate?
We fear there is not. AS long as he
French are our unsuccessful rivals all the
world over, go long will they continue TO
hate US and envy us, and to ascrtbe their
commercial failures TO our ''unfnirness'
and scheming. A successful continental
war might for a time possibly restore
France 70 good temper, but that good
temper would come 10 an end win tne
first collapse Of a colonial enterprise. We
must then, we fear. endure the French
hate All we can do is not 10 return It.
This mobiles its effect 10 some extent.
for nothing is truer than the proverb,
1T takes two to make a quarrel"
This IS the Engiishman's cool and inso-
lent way Of turning UP his nose at all
sensational things. but it is very taking
all the same. The reply made by Nicount-
ess Sherbrooke TO Freedman the other
day who expressed TO her surprise at
finding in England so much milit0ry prep
lration is very neat and applicable to the
case in hand. "Oh," said she, you know
that nations are Constantly misunder-
standing each other. In England we have
oeen taught to believe at France was
