The planning at Cleveland of steel
freighter $50 feet long, SO feet wide.
and 81 feet deep is evidence that the
limit of size has not been reached on
the Great Lakes Most of the new
carriers of 1901 and 1902 are less than
800 feet long, and it has been said that
the 40O-foOter is the handiest craft Of
large size; also that there would be a
reyersion of enterprise to vessels of that
length of keel. But the length will prob
ably go to the limit of safe construction
with the maximum depth permitted by
the lake channels.

THE WINTER WRAP.

The strictly modish wrap this winter
will not be more than three-quarter
length. Skirts will remain long for
street as well as for house wear, and
the inconvenience of lifting sweeping
heavy wrap in addition to the folds of
the frock when necessity demands it
can readily be appreciated.
The very long coats that will enjoy
any degree of popular favor are ap-
propriately limited to evening use, and
upon these all the expense and eIab-
Grafton employed on gowns may be
seen.
One of the many varieties of fur,
which will appeal to the popular purse
as we'll as artistic eye is Russian colt I.
This is a rich dark brown, shading to
quite a pale tone of fawn and is used
for entire garments as we'll as bands
for tailor-made gowns. Combined
with the rich autumn brown satin
faced cloths, it makes an effective
trimming.
Pointed skunk no matter, how I'M
lovely the name is another of the pref
ty inexpensive furs. One of the smart
est ways in which it is used is in the
new motor coat. This CONNECTION
reaches below the hips is lined with
dark green satin figured with pink
rosebuds and fastens with smoked
pearl buttons. The collar is large and
square and big revers open over the
vest of the bodice, which is worn be-
meath to lend the requisite air of fem
lninitv.

SILK COATS.

Short wraps. those known as the
three-quarter length, are not becoming
to all figures, says the Washington
Evening Star. A very plump woman
looks better in a long coat, for any,
thing that cuts off the body above the
knees draws attention to her proper
tons. Pretty little silk coats intended
for Afternoon wear are fashioned of
taffetas in biscuit, oyster gray, ecru
and similar shades. American women
doubtless will take most kindly to
those made of black. Some very pretty
. dark paletots are now shown in the
shops along the Rue de la Paix. In
deed, the wife of a fashionable modiste
in that neighborhood tripped along the
quiet avenue where they live in a con-
lection so dainty one wonders that her
amiable spouse does not adopt it as a
model in his great establishment For
instance, it was a dull, lusterless black
silk redingote with dull black satin on
the rolling fiat collar, revers and cuffs
The front flared open and was draped
from the shoulders. Lines of plating
not much wider than cords made a
deep border about the extremity of the
skirt A stitched band of silk came
down each side of the front and served
as the foundation for handsome Jet or
naments. A shaped cape of tucked silk
fell over the shoulders, scallops of
heavy cream colored lace ornamenting
the edge. Lace medallions were APP
pliqued along the collar, revers and
cuffs. A couple of frills of accordion
plated chiffon garnished the wrists.
