The little self-cape over the shoulders
Is much in evidence in many of the pop
ular models. This. as Il rule, is slightly
stiffened with featherbone or some such
kindred material at the base, the edge
falling free and loose over the shout
ders.
Many OF the jackets show the full
blousy front. and the majority have a,
least a slight dip at that point. The
long front is quite a feature, as is also
the position back, the tabs being OF
SELF or fancy material.
GOWNS OF MEMS sUITINGs.
a style of jacket that is considered
very fashionable this season is the long
skirted effect, reaching almost to the
knees in the extreme models. More
conservative cuts do not show it as
long. and these are really the mere
popular. Suits of this description are
little given to trimming or adornmenr.
Rough goods in fancy light miXtures
are preferred materials.
A very practical yet Wonderfully
pleasing suit of this description is OF
rough finished mems suiting in a graz
mixture The jacket shows mannish
collar of velvet with small self-lapels.
It is cut single breasted with slight
blouse effect in the front. Tight At the
waistline. the belt has the broad V eff
feet to give the garment the stylish,
long wasted appearance. Below the
waist the jacket falls plain and free,
but not too full. to 4 point some dis
lance above the knees. In the back the
coat is tight fitting and without orna~
ment.. except for two suspender-lilSe
box plaits that start from the extreme
bottom Of the garment on either side
of the 'front.' and extend up over the
shoulders and all the way down the
back.
The sleeves of this coat are unusually
tight, showing a slight fullness only on
the shoulders and on the under side Of
the arm just above the cuffs. These
cuffs are Of self-material, all stitched
and are hooked together on the under
side, where they show q curve that ter
inmates in q point.
The skirt is cut rather scant just full
enough for comfort in walking. and is
! made to just escape the ground. The
same style of box plaits that adron the
jacket also trim the skirt, which shows
I
that there are seven in all. \ suit OF
I this description can be had at a very
reasonable figure, and it is just the
thing for spring walking wear.

cloth. The jacket terminates at the
waistline in a pointed front. partly con

rarrows slightly as it approaches tne
rounding ends. 1t is edged with silk
! binding and adorned with a band OF
fancy white braid reposing on an appli-
cation of the same silk that binds tbs
stole. This silk is applied on the gar
ment rather freely in the form Of braid
and tabs, there being four little tabs
on either side of the stole just below

pearl buttons.
