There seems to be considerable choice
in the matter of overeoats just now. The
long paddock is extremely smart and is
to be seen at the leading tailors. The
Raglan is used because loose-htting, and
is the top coat" par excellence for wear
ing over evening clothes. You can slip it
on or off over a dress coat without sur
gical operation or the danger of crushing
a dazzling expanse of shirt front. An
other fashionable overcoat is known as
the sfy-front Chesterfield This is
box-coat fitting closely, especially about
the throat. The collar is of velvet, and
not quite two inches broad. The edges
show rows of machine stitching. There
are two hip pockets broad and deep, and
a little pocket for car fare is placed just
inside the right-hand pocket. The fly
front conceals the buttons which close
the coat. 1t falls to the knees. and is
lined with handsome silk. The most no.
-sceable Characteristic is the close fit
about the shoulders and throat. The tai
lor fits there as carefully as he would the
jacket of a society girl.
This is a great apple year, and to many
uses does the heahh-giving fruit minis
ter. Just now they are used as dishes
for salad. Pick out some apples with
brilliant rosy cheeks, cut them in half
loggitudinally, sot hat when the core is
removed there will not be hole in the
bottom of the hemisphere. Now carefully
scrape the apple away. leaving enough,
however, to support the rind. The idea
is to have a little rosy bowl left; in this
you place your mayonnaise (without
onaon) with a little of the apple sprinkled
| on the top. This makes a pretty dish for
luncheon or dinner. We have long been
used to orange baskets, and why should
not other fruit equally decorative be used
In the same way? The bright red apples
are as glorious in their way as the ma
pie foliage in mid-October Let us make
rose bowls of them by all means. Use
an old fashioned mother of pearl apple
heirlooms accumulated by the past gener-
alton.
These are the funny little clasps put
forward last season to hold up the back
locks They can be had in all shapes,

after passing through the hair. catches
at the turned back edge of the back
/ When adjusted only a little line of gleam-
ing tortoise appears, and if the hair is
brown it hardly shows at all. The buckles
are in all lengths, from tiny quarter inch
ones to those almost a finger long They
! are used wherever short hairs refuse to
stay in place. whether at the back of the
neck or at the temples. Beside the tor
toise scraps there are little circular pins
richly jeweled. The pin passing under the
hair is best in one piece, that there may
be no hinge. A pair of such, of enamel
| and pearl, initiating little daisies, look
quaint at the temples holding back the
rioting locks that will neither grow out
nor stay short enough.

A pretty new model for a winter skirt
has the back breadth laid in a novel box
pleat, small box peat placed over a
very large one, and the fullness is al
lowed to escape very soon in naturally
sweeping train. The front and side
breadths are also laid in pleats and
stitched almost as far as the knees, where
the fullness is released and flares out
with the motion Of walking. This gives
additional scope for the pronounced fancy
for machine stitching. Row after row
is used on the pleats; that is, on the up
per part of them The pleated skirt is Z

has a decided merit in permitting plenty
of room for a pocket, or, indeed, for sew

for the new model.
