into canoes, some displaying the dark
part of the shell as heads, while others
have a well carried out device of an
automobile. There is one universal lin
ing. and that is white satin, very pref
ty, but extravagant, over winter gowns.
A beautiful example of a fawn colored
long coat with this fashionable lining
and cameo buttons has a very pretty
hood made in white satin. covered with
ecru. Scallops are certainly in favor.
and some of the newest capes have a
row of these scallops formed of stitched
bands, and below this at the hem a
fuller tlounce, also scalloped Creamear
fur. having the appearance of gray AS
trakhan fguers on many of the new
gray jackets, which are handsomely
braided in black and white mixed;
these have habit backs, the fronts fall
ing below the waist in elongated seal
lops. The perfection of a travelling
cloak is of the lightest fawn shade in
soft cloth, made sacque fashion front
and back. with small triple capes reach

waved at the top. The sacque back is
formed into one broad pleat.
We are coming back to the old three
quarter paletot, the sleeves cut in one
with the back forming large round seal
lops over the arm, and they all have
high outstanding collars, most of them
made in velvet. A novelty in this is
the introduction of an inserted piece of
velvet of contrasting color, stitched ali
over into the outstanding collar at the
back; for example. bright cerise velvet
on fawn CLOTH Many of the sleeves in
the nantes have the epaulet replaced
by stitchings on the top of the sleeves.

of the stout twills and long cloths of

pleasure for we suffer fearsome dread
when they pass through the washer
woman's hands, and some are withheld
altogether from her tender mercies and
visit the nettoyage sec instead.
The most elaborate stitchery and III

and the best handiwork comes from the
converts of Ireland, Belgium and

Night dresses during the hot weather
