NEW YORK, March 20, 1918.
Elton jackets reappear and this irrepres-
sible little garment is in such gradations as
to suit everyone. Long coats rival Etons
in variety of material used, but the same
can hardly be asserted in regard to jackets
in cloth that run from twenty -four to
twenty eight inches in length. Between
them and long coats come three quarter
and even longer styles Monte Carlo
coats, however, are most in demand and
come in cloth, silk lined OF unlined and as
a special novelty may be noted examples
in canvas or other goods on the same or
der, some very dressy and in light colors.
The newest feature in outdoor garments
is that of shoulder capes, appearing how
ever chiefly in Monte Carlo and other
coats. In the DreSsmakers Convention,
recently held, special account is taken of
the fit of corsages and in view of this, use
is made of the Rosahnd waist adjustor,
which gives the fashionable curve. 1t can
be used with belt of any material and no
alteration of skirt is required. As an en-
couraging sign of the times moreover, such
dressing as shall permit activity IN women,
while compelling a correct attitude, has
been a prime consideration. To these ends
the belted hose supporter is powerful aid,
since it throws out the chest, tiattens the
back and induces that Venus like carriage
which is 50 charming to all beholders.

all seasons of the year On some dresses,
shoulder capes are a notable finish and one

the season progresses. Skirts in general.
