Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
PARIS, January o. 1902.
Short coats have come to stay. We see
them wherever we see a fashionable wo-
man, and they are made in all the glowing
fabrics and in all the odd and striking COM
binations of the eighteenth century. Short
coats have taken the place of blouses for
afternoon and evening wear and of the
Elton and bolero jacket upon the tailored
promenade frock. These are the days when
apparel proclaims the woman. No possible
economies may be substituted for the costly
brocades and Iaces and jeweled buckles and
buttons which are now the rage on the
three-quarter and the short Louis XIV
coats. These have another disadvantage
from the standpoint of the woman who
would economize-no cheap dressmaker can
give the required elegance of cut.
A handsome basqued coat for wear with
a tailored skirt was made of blue velours.
It was tight fitting in the back, loose in the
front and adjusted at the right side with
two handsome buttons. A girdle of black
satin passed around the waist and under
the straight front of the coat. From the
rear of the girdle depended triple basque
stitched about the edges. The large collar,
coming down the front like revers, was
faced with guipure lace and crossed by
bands of astrakhan. The sleeves, of ample
by a faring cuff of lace and astrakhan
bands. pIastron of plated silk, with
ruching of plated chiffon about the neck,
was worn beneath the coat.
The Louis XII is one of the newest va
rieties of the new coat. The basqued por-
ton, which is very much rounded is longer
than the Louis XIV style. One of the for
mer worn at a fashionable wedding the
other day was both simple and pretty. Pale
blue embroidered velvet formed the body.
White Cloth Hands
Around the edge a band of white cloth
was stitched. The open front was filled in
with a vest of white, over which soft lace
was cascaded. The sleeves came to the ell
bow, where faring revers disclosed Two
deep lace f1ounces, the lower one of which
fell to the wrist. The pockets of the
basque, the side of the coat and the sleeves
were garnished with jeweled buckles. The
coat was meant to be worn with a separate

cut in three narrow divisions over a vest
of cloth a shade or two lighter than the
coat.
A double coat, the simulated under one of
brocade and the over one of velvet was
part of a modish walking dress seen on the
boulevards one pleasant afternoon. The
combination of velvet and brocade was car
ried out in the cuffs, the collar and the
dainty hat upon the young matron's pretty
blonde head
The Russian blouse Again.
OF the more serviceable jackets for
spring, it is my opinion that the Russian
blouse Is the neatest and most useful. 1t
does not depend for beauty on trimmings,
an application of stitching at the utmost
being employed as a decoration. One coat
of gray frieze was piped with black silk
along the edges of the box plaits, the COL
lar, the sleeves and the belt. The tendency
on the Russian blouse is to use rich mate
rails and employ the utmost simplicity in
construction. In this 1t differs altogether
from the basqued coats, which can scarcely
be too ornate.
The habit or position coat of the Louis
XIV and Louis XVI periods has almost dis
placed the old-time evening blouse Diff
cult to fit to many figures, 1t is not success
full unless irreproachable in construction
AS the ultra ornateness of its trimming
makes it very expensive, there Is not prom
Use of a very long reign for the garment
Worn with a white cloth or guipure skirt
however, the effect with evening toilets is
very handsome.
Coats of black silk covered with pom
padour flowers are worn with black panne
and velvet skirts Damask brocades silk,
gulpure and light cloth are the most popu-
lar fabrics. The accompanying vests are
made of glace silk and lace.

fitted with a skirt so long that 1t reached
almost to the hem of the dress 1t was
cut In princess style, with the upper and
lower portions in one piece.
An exquisite Louis XIV tea jacket was
made of brocaded silk trimmed with velvet
and lace. 1t had a pointed body, down the
front Of which the velvet was set in two
narrow bands, with a mere suggestion OF
white in the center. Fancy buttons were
set in close rows on the velvet. The skirt
was double affair neither section being
very long. The upper one was outlined on
the hips by band of velvet The deep,
turned-over collar of silk, the revers and
the turned-back cuffs were bordered with
velvet. Frills of lace at the sleeves and
fichu at the neck completed the dainty and
useful garment, which any home dress
maker might successfully duplicate.
Habit Coat.
What was called habit coat the model

Irish guipure decorated with appliques of
pompadour silk and trimmed with bands Of
sable. The garment was novel in design,

a long tab hanging from the waist at each
side and the back being adorned with
handsome chou of silk, which was the
termination of the silk girdle that passed
under the front of the coat. The high
straight collar merged into fat revers that
extended to the waist. The vest consisted
of lace cascaded from the collar
Also for house wear was a coat of bro
cade pompadour silk with the bodice, which
followed the bolero outline, supplemented
in the rear by a narrow basque cut out sep
arately and stitched in place. A deep,
round collar faced with lace and trimmed
with frill of lace curved over the Shout
ders and termina ted in points over the bust.
The lace appeared again in frills falling
from the distinguishing revers cuffs. The
vest and collar were of plated mousseline
de sole. Three large fancy buttons bor
dered each side of the jacket. The gird1e
was a piece of velvet, and lines of velvet
finished the collar and cuffs.

caded with pale blue roses, whose foliage
was tied with blue bowknots, was worn

period. The moderately deep collar was

broidered silk motives. This coat from the
front seemed merely little rounded bo1ero
over blouse of white crepe de chine and
lace. The silk sleeves Were cut off short
a little below the elbow and coquettishly
knotted with velvet ribbon bows. The full
sleeves of the blouse were caught at the
wrist by bands of velvet terminating in
bows. The dainty double collar of the coat
was of velvet, edged with the tniest of
ecru ruchings that continued around the
edge of the coat. At the waist a velvet
girdle confined the white blouse while in
the rear the fitted back Of the coat extend

basque.

SIX WEEKS WINTER
TO BE EXPERIENCED YET BE.
FORE SPRING OPENS
If the Traditional Ground Hog Is 10
Be Relied Upon as Weather
Forecaster.

If the ground hog is to be relied
upon as weather prophet (and
there are many who pin greater faith
in his hogship than to the govern
mental bureau man who tells us Just
what the clements are going to dc
when they are getting ready to dc
something else) there is to be six
weeks more of winter
According to the lore on such sub
iects the ground hog is a very timii
little animal and usually digs a very
deep hole at the beginning of winter
and crawls into it. During the win.
ter months he hibernates and sleeps
through the frost and sleet He feeds
on clover and tender shrubs and at the
dawn of spring he begins to awake
from his winters sleep and look
about for his usual diet He creeps
out into the open air for the first time
on February 2, and if he sees his
shadow on the first day it frightens
him and he is sure to return to his
hole and remain there for forty more
days, which means that winter is not
over and that he must extend the pc
riod of his retirement If. however
he does not see his shadow he goes
bravely on and the world will know
by this that the winter days are over.
There was hardly moment be
tween daylight and dusk Sunday in
which the ground hog could not see
his shadow, and according to well
founded tradition there is to be six
weeks more of winter.
