IT is made very full and shows the loose
| bishops sleeve.
The collar is 4 very broad effect of erm,ne
with cuffs to match.
The entire garment Is heavily applied with
SIX trimming IN long point effects.
The brilliant red wrap IS new and
stylish mode for street wear.
In cut it Is seen in very much the same
styles as the white coats already described,
the Monte Carlo being the most popular.
In the matter of trimming however
there is quite difference.
Black an6 white or gilt braid are sub
stituted for the embroidery of the dressy
creations.
Antique metal buttons are seen instead of
grape pattern applications. while the er-
mine facing is replaced by plaid silk.
This gorgeous garniture is very pleasing
and novel
The metal gilt braid and metal buttons
are particularly effective.
They trim the garment daintily and are
forms that in themselves are very fashion,
able.
JAUNTY MODEL SIMILAR
TO THE MONTE CARLO.
A jaunty little model is of red broad
cloth on the Monte Carlo order.
1t Is made collarless. the neck being edged
with black and white braid.
The self shoulder cape is cut away in
front In a peculiar Zigzag.
The sleeves are rather full and the cuffs
are drawn in fiat. leaving just enough full
ness to permit Of the arm passing through.

meath, the stylish woman VIII continue -
wear TIE walking suit all winter.
Naturally new modes i,u., novel wrinkles
are constantly cropping up.
Really quite plain and bare OF tiimn ing
are the most stylish suits.
They are made of zibei;ne and cIrieis-
hair effects generally. together with ,hev-
lots. velvets and cords.
The last mentioned are particularly styi-
ish in black and white.
A new and effective zibeline suit is in 4
black and white mixture, all edged with
stitched cloth bands.
The skirt has a single circular founce.
which opens in front in L box plait
This. however, is held together by a band
of velvet.
The jacket has the barest suggestion cf
blouse and shows tucks or either side az
the front.
The collar is OF light-colored Persian en-
broidery. with cuffs to inatcn.
The sleeve terminates above the e,bow
and shows an elaborate undersleeye of
black velvet.
This mode is not new and It is not a very
general one. but for a cnalce it is decidedly
pretty and unique.
Another walking suit that illustrates a
different new mode is a rough fancy mix
ture elaborately trimmed with box plaits.
The suit is adorned with torpedo braid
and buttons. as well as a bit of lace at
the throat.
STYLISH BLACK AND
WHITE CORD SUIT
1t is cut very tight to the figure. dis
playing the lines of the body to advantage

| effects.
The cuffs and the cape show the same
| grape and Leaf embroidery.
The latter Is further enhanced by a cut
out embroidered design over each shoulder
quarter length coat Of pastel blue ladies'
cloth.
It is belted in at the waist by a wide
gathered band of black panne, which same
material trims the collar.
The upper portion Of the coat Is adorned
with dressy cape effect made of two bands
Of Russian lace held together by self-col-
ored straps Of panne velvet.
This same Russian lace also trims the
very full lower sloove.
An applied motif on the back Is the only
ofnamentation below the waist line
Still another style is exploited by a pretty
effect in tan colored broadcloth
1t falls free from the shoulders in graceful
very full folds that extend its entire length
Wide applied bands of handsome Cluny
lace adorn the body Of the garment and en-
tirely cover the sleeves except for por-
tfon on the lower sleeve. which Is adorned
with green velvet.
This same velvet forms the collar.
HEAVY BETAsSELED CORDS
USED AS FASTENERS.
The coat is finished with heavy tan-colored
and betasseled cords, which in the form of
frogs also form the means Of fasteners
One OF the greatest points Of difference
between the medium or short coat and the
long garment for dressy wear is in the
sleeves
In the long coat these are very fashiona-
bic In the kimono form or in a mode some
what resembling this.
1t is made very full ard loose at the ter
minus.
This coat. too. is naturally fuller than
the shorter style and may show high
collar. although this is not necessary.
If high collar is shown. however. it
takes the Medici form and is lined with
ermine. which also trims the sleeves
A lovely long model is OF pearl gray
broadcloth.
1t is cut in the conventional manner
straight down from the shoulders and very
full
The under portion of the full semIkimono
sleeve is fastened to the body of the gar
ment
The entire coat is covered with grape and
leaf pattern embroidery. while the collar
is of ermine.
A novel feature is furnished by the white
chiffon streamers on either side OF the front
1t is a long cry from white cloth to black
velvet. but it is a case Of extremes meet
ing.
These two are probably the most fashion,
able materials for dressy wraps.
For older women especially 10 black VEL
vet the thing.
The general cut of these velvet coats is
very much the same as that OF the cloth

FOLDS ARE CREATED BY
FEATHERBONE STIFFENING.
They fall in easy, full folds from the
shoulders down.
1t is fact, however. that these folds are
not always as natural as they appear, be-
ing created by ,stifYening. !
For this purpose featherbone is the best
material; to use. and so artistically is the |
work done that the deception is complete.
Ermine trimming Is considerably in eyt-

FORTUNES in FREE SAMPLES.
Losses Sustained by Merchants Who Give Away
Small Pieces OF Goods.

WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC
Only too true is it that the average
woman shopper thinks nothing of return
ing from her round of the stores with her
shopping bag crammed with samples OF
silks. dress goods and linens.
Does any One of them stop to think how
much money is actually thrown into her
hands-useless-literally torn to shreds?
Yet the figures shown by the mail-or-
der department alone in any big retail es-
tablishment regarding the actual value lost
to the proprietor through samples are sim
ply amazing.
He counts. of course. upon some return
from a would-be purchaser. but the given
average is that one cut of every five only
makes an actual purchase from samples
given: so a total loss-unless he charitably
credits it to advertising-snsues to the mer-
chant. amounting to 80 cents out of every
dollars worth of samples.
In an account taken of ten leading stores
in Chicago 1t was found that 10000 yards of
woolen dress goods alone; at an average
value Of IS cents yard. were cut up year
ly to be mailed as samples. 49,.
Over 5000 yards Of silk at more than a
dollar a yard. and satins to the tune OF
several thousand more, brought the loss
up to nearly 100000 for these ten stores.
to dead loss to each of over
$4,000 annually on these goods alone.
On larger figured goods, such as carpets
and the like. the loss came to higher figures
as the sample must be cut
80 large in order to show the entire figure.
And in other departments that could give
samples the losses were in proportion.
In the early spring and tall is the time
best suited to the sample madness.
1t attacks nearly every shopper at those
times, for the new spring suit must be got
ten for Easter. or the spring and fall house
Gle aning leaves gaps in the house furnish
Ings which must be filed up.
Then 1t is that the sample riend goes forth
seeking whom she may devour And the
merchant girds himself for her onslaught
by taking at least one yard from every bolt
of goods in his house to be cut up into
samples to be thrown as "sops to Cerbe-
rus.

How Far the Telephone Will Carry

The postal authorities at Liverpool
have just completed a series of ex-
periments with the telephone to de-
termine its value for long-distance
conversations. 1t has been found
possible to carry on a telephone
communication with Paris, a distance
of 4S9 miles, or more than half way
from New York to Chicago. Further
south than Paris the speaker could
only be heard in Liverpool under ex-
ceptionally favorable conditions.
One result of these experiments has
been the abandonment of the scheme
to attempt telephone connections
between London, Turin and Milan.
These cities have been found too far
apart to be embraced in a telephone
circuit.--Chicago American.
