INSIDE F1NISHINGS
Innings are commonly of plain taf-
feta or surah silk matching some
color in the wool of the coat: but the
Innings of the covert and box coats for
older girls are frequently of rich bro
cades in the most fragile colors A
delicate pearl melton cloth may be
faced perhaps with white or old yellow
! brocade, or a jacket in pale brown
kersey. will have a Powered lining in
old rose.
The jacket itself will be severely
plain, or at most have strapped seams
or stitched bands; but the cut of the
garment alone tells the initiated that
as far as its worth is concerned, at
least. such simple airs are deceptive
The cheapest of the ready-made
| jackets-those on this loose front fit
ted-back order, not under the REFER
head-are made of tan and brown kerr
sey, with plain stitching.
Silks in dark wearing colors line
these, and the coats can be had for
all ages above s; but notwithstanding
they are disapproved by the best
tastes for girls under 10, the childish
REFERS being considered more appro-
pirate for these.
On girls above this age, the woman
ish look of the plain light coats does
not seem so out of place.
FRENCH PICTURESQUENESS
At some the smart, big shops few
importations are shown in long cloaks.
on the ulster order for both misses
and very little girls. These seem very
novel after the extended seige of short
tailed jackets, and though made of
thick materials, and to fit loosely, they
are without the heaviness that so often
makes the skirt-length cloak objec-
tionable.
All of the long coats seen were
French designs and two pictured will
give some Ideas as to their general ef-
feet.
An empire design for a girl of 10 is
Of dragon blue cloth, trimmed with
velvet collar and cuffs in a deeper
shade. Gray mouffiOn, a fur much used
on childlen's wraps this season, borders
these effectively. and novel feature is
a narrow tucking of the upper part of
the coat to form long-waisted bodice
effect. Taffeta is silk lining the same
shade as the cloth.
The second long cloak is of nickel
gray cloth with a trimming CT heavy
silk in gray Scotch plaids The back of
this is straight, hanging loose from the
figure in a wide double box pleat, the
right front alone has a small plaid re-
YER, and pockets and collar are of the
same.
AT the back a capuchin hood of the
cloth lined with the plaid silk is a
graceful detail, and the. wide sleeves
are cut in one piece. This fine cloak
was for a young lady from 10 TO ~,
and for dress-up moments, of course.
FOR LITTLE LADS.
For baby boys there are two entirely
new designs in winter top coats. One
here pictured on little gentleman OF 2
years, was of dun red cloth. made to
fie as comfortably as a dress. yet with
look Enthusiastically masculine
Another model in cold gray and blue
cloths was for boys OF from to 8; this
design is also here shown and is known
as the Napoleon or military overccat,
doubtless because the loose shape and
long Tapping tails suggest the war pale |
tot in which the great~empeTor is some |
times pictured. These military over |
coats are also imported and it is said /
that small boys of the ages given sport |
them extensively in Paris. With them !
high glazed leather boots and a. fur cap
OF some sort are in correct keeping.
IN ROUGH WEATHER.
Storm coats for both boys and girls !
are made of rubber faced woods in sty- |
lish checks and plaiJis, or else of plain |
woods prepared in a way to resist a !
rain. For both sexes the model CO these |
is of the loose, sleeveless mackin:osa |
description, with cape attached; bul. I
newer storm wrap for boys is a great |
circular cape of heavy faced wool, with |
a capuchin hood buttoned on.
In Frances whatever their age and |
station, all boys wear these rough |
capes in stormy weather; the big point
ed hoods drawn down over the head till /
the face is almost hidden, hands and |
books tucked away under the cape
No umbrella is carried or needed, /
and the hooded schoolboy may caper
around as freely and gleefully as the |
gnome he looks.
Fashioned after this useful model |
very pretty party cloaks may be made |
easily by mothers at home for their |
5:-tle daughters. Woody f1annels in pale
or rich colors can be had inexpensively /
for the purpose; and all of the pattern |
shops sell the models fer every age,
and give the exact quantity of mater
ial needed. A border to both cape and |
hood of moufflon fur or swansdown
will give a becoming and wintry fin
