seasonabie Suggestions Regarding Autumn
Costumes.
Among the most notable of the sea-
sons models are long coats that are to
be a feature of the styles for outside
garments The richest and most ex-
pensive OF these are made of handsome
black velvet. These have skirts cover
ing about half the length of the dress.
Some of them are absolutely cluse-fit-
ting. suggesting basque with long
skirts, others are three-quarter-ftting
and others have the old time Vatican
fold revived and any amount of elabor.
ate and what one might call ungrace-
full trimming. There are in the world
however. a few women who realize
that n very rich blaek-silk velvet makes
much the better-looking garment IL it
is made severely plain and depends
more for its style on the exquisite
fit and finish than upon any
quantity of garniture. Therefore
we are To see two types of the velvet
coat-one gotten up in all the severe
plainness Of the tailor's model, the
other puffed, draped with lace, loaded
with passementerie and further orna-
mented by bows of ribbon with long
ends
One style in the close-ftting shape
has a collar of velvet cut in square tabs.
and corded and lined with satin.
There are enormous sleeves of velvet
with satin cuffs Aside from this the
garment is without trimming material
of any sort. That il is exceedingly rich
and elegant goes without saying.
A second garment has a very deep
collar of side-plaited chiffon, with a
high collar of ribbon, with large bow
and ends at the front The sleeves are
Of thick silk and are completely
smothered in chiffon set on so full that
the underneath material Is almost con-
cealed.
Another cloak Is three-quarter fitting
at the front and sides, with a deep
back. Al the back is very deep Wat
teau plat, and over the top of this is
fall Of thread lace about a quarter Of
yard wide. Above this lace, upon the
yoke, which is of solid embroidery or
passementerie, is a bow of velvet rib
bon with ends that fall two-thirds OF
the length of the dress skirt. Velvet
sleeves are in leg-o-mutton fashion.
and over the shoulders are deep and
very full ruffies of lace. Across the
front Of the yoke is a double founee Of
lace that falls some distance below the
waist line. This Is an extremely elab-
crate garment and very dressy. Upon
a tall, slender and stylish woman II
may look exceedingly we'll, but every
thing worn with it must correspond.
