The cloth gowns show every week some

ed. SAYS .sHarper's Bazar." The skirts
Of all the gowns are made long, and as
close fitting as possible over the hips,
and many of them have jackets on long
coats. There is no doubt that the long
coats and eloaks are much the fashion
This year. and are being imported all
the time. A smart walking gown is made
with a velvet skirt. and over this is worn
a long ~redingote Of beige cloth that en-
tirely covers the skirt. In front there
is a founce, of the same material as the
redingote, that starts at the waist IN a
narrow width, and it gradually broadens
out until it reaches part way up the
coat. The upper part of the coat is fin
ished with a deep collar that forms a
wavy cape. and there is a high stock
collar and vest of velvet. and inside the
stock-collar is a high faring collar also
of the velvet. On the front of this coat
are six large fancy buttons. The sleeves
are small, but have a little fulness at
the top. They are very long, and are
finished around the wrist with a ruff
fed cuff. To wear with this coat is a hat
of felt, something in a sailor shape,
trimmed with r~osettes of velvet and stiff
wings. The same gown in two shades of
green is effective also.
A very odd gown that is absolutely diff
ferent from anything that has been SHOWN
this season is made with a plain circular
skirt, trimmed with a broad band of the
same material, that is turned over in the
shape of the old fashioned washerwom-
ans overskirt. This band of cloth is
stitched at the sides, and lies flat against
the skirt. The waist is round in shape,
fastened at the left side, and trimmed
with a band to match the one on the skirt,
put on the same fashion. The yoke and
high collar are made of guipure lace, and
the collar fits very close to the neck and
flares away from around the face The
belt is very wide, and made of violet vel
vet. The gown itself is in beige color.
The sleeves are close fitting, with two
bands Of stitching on the upper part, and
finished around the wrist with a ruffle of
the violet velvet. Most attractive is the
hat to be worn with this gown. II is
made of violet velvet that is draped loose
ly over a fiat shape, and is trimmed with
three ostrich plumes of a lighter shade Of
violet, and a large rhinestone buckle di-
rectly on the front of the hat.
A very graceful gown, also, of cloth is
made with the tunic over-skirt. There
is only a glimpse of the under-skirt seen,
and this is trimmed with bands of light
green cloth. The gown itself gives the
princesse effect, is very close-fitting, and
is fastened at the left side, where it is
finished with a band of the green cloth
edged with a narrow braiding of black
This same band of cloth and braiding
goes entirely around the skirt. The waist
is tight-ftting, fastened at the left side,
and is trimmed around the yoke and
down the front with a band of the cloth
and the black braiding; and the belt
also is of a band of the cloth. The braid
ing is put on so that it looks as though
it were in one piece with the u~nderskirt.
There is a gathered yoke with high coli
lar and large bow at the back of the
neck, all made of violet velvet. The
sleeves nave a little fulness at the top
are very long, and finished with {. fiar-
ing cuff. The hat is of felt, trimmed
with violet taffeta ribbon, one long black
plume, and q rosette of violet velvet
with a rhinestone buckle.
To keep the hair in good condition, says
