ARTS. Sept. 1.-THE popularity
OF the automobile has had
a direct influence on the kind
and quality OF fall and win
ter coats
It's this way" said one
modfste whom approached.
Fashionable women originally wanted
something to slip easily over the gown
something to protect it from dust
and weather. Naturally. to provide
that we gave them a long coat Then,
too. they asked for comfort. There
must oe no tightness anywhere in the
garment TO interfere with the manage
ment Of the brakes Of the machines
Consequently the wrap was made loose.
So admirable did the fashionable ladies
find these automobile coats that they
started To wear them ia the street Cou-
turieres took up the suggestion and be-
gan to make street. theater. race. driv-
ing and yachting coats all upon the
same plan. Now. for the fall and win
ter Of 1902 you viii find the smartest
shops making all their coats after that
style Very few tight fitting coats and
very few short ones are to be seen
among the latest models.
7 found that she was right. Ella bo-
rately elegant are most of the new
wraps The handsomest are the Iong
ones. coming TO the edge of the skirt.
The three-Quarter coats. with porten-
teus flare. are trying to most figures.
A beautiful creation was the long mill
tary coat of cadet blue proudly eXhib-
tied in a fashionable showroom The
skirt had that exquisite bell-like flare
Which Is impaired only BY the hand of
the true artist A fitted hounce was
repeated on all the seams The deep
triple collar left the breast of the coat
uncovered to show a stitched and cord
ed yoke Of cloth. upon which four large
gold buttons cleaned.
A gray coat made with a triple collar
that looked almost a cape-deep collars /
are features of the majority of the sim
pier coats-showed a novel development

Stitching is an important part of the
work upon tailored coats. Some are

Some pretty blouses in the wardrobe
of a recent bride included a white glace
finely tucked, with collar and yoke of
ecru guipure. finished off with a couple
of pines in chine silk, the collar and lit
tie lace cuffs adorned with small medal
lions of the same silk. Also a cream
oriental satin, showing minute tucking,
it's marked feature being the yoke of
braid guipure lace in a Paris ecru tint,
with cuffs OF the same. It fastens in
visibly down the side, and the whole has
a rich appearance. A French printed
muslin of a blue tone has a front of
tucked white silk muslin, and both this
and the collar are further enhanced by
valenciennes lace and insertions. An
other in mauve, noncrushable louisine
silk has a yoke of cream carricknna cross
lace, the collar finished off with strap
pings of silk at the corners, recalling
the Oxford frames.

sleeve OF this coat terminated in
short, straight cuff, from which felt

The most desirable coats are double
breasted. the upper part of the fronts
being studded with heavy metal but
tons. The skirts of wraps all are cut
circular, and they flute artistically.
Blue, gray. tan. ecru, fawn, buff, cafe
au lait. with shades of gobelin blue
argent pearl. gray and dove are the
colors most frequently selected for coat
fabrics. For theater wraps and for
those reserved for full dress occasions
silk is frequently substituted for cloth.
Three-fourths of the fall cloaks which
are made of this material are generally
decorated with vertical tucks on the
sleeves and on the upper part of the
wrap. A plisse fiounce of chiffon com
monty finishes off the lower part of the
garment. OFTEN the rounded, deep col
lar is f1ounced with plated chiffon. or
a very elaborate fichu of the same dec
crates the neck.
Gowns are, with few exceptions. mod
eled on the princess style. Appliques
cover robes, which are fitted to perfec-
ton. These trimmings are varied with
smart strappIngs or tiny stitched tuc1s.

manded by the modes of the hour by
the use of many incrustations. Even
the rough cloths, serges, etc, are COW

loose wraps now donned with these
garments make it possible to display
their charms to advantage even in the
street.

There is one thing upon which you
may depend-your servants will bless
the innovation. Bridget tells me she
never knew that windows could be so
easily cleaned. In the summer she has
only the swinging sashes. In the win
ter she takes a pail of water and
broom and washes the outer set from
the garden walk and rinses them by
casting a, couple of pailfuls of warm
water over the surface. Then she dries
them with white cotton cloths. While

sleeves, which are quite plain, may be
plated up in the manner suggested ac-
cording to fancy. The puffs of silk are
sewed on separate, and the decoration
of the top part of the bolero with fine
quality lawn or soft white washing silk
is a matter of individual taste. The
skirt is quite plain. 1t is in six pieces

seamless back Frillings of the muslin
