Paper profits of bullish spectators were

lighter than on Friday. and little effort was
made TO support the active options. There
was a great deal of liquidation BY outsid-

Sunday. Weather conditions in the Ncrth-
west and the weakness of other markets
were the main features in the decline.

THE RAGE FOR VELVET AND CLOTH IN PARIS FOR ALL OCCASION

IN THESE days of extravaganza as
regards dress. outside garments are
by no means the smallest item of
expense, and not only in none
tary sense, but of time and thought,
as well 1t is no longer possible to pro-
vide one wrap to do duty for the after
noon drive and for the opera, but there
must needs be a variety of carriage
wraps. evening cloaks and coats.
The deliberately fashioned white cloth
coat is an attractive and becoming gar
ment. and although it has been some
what abused by having to appear on
many different occasions not strictly APP
propriate to 1t. the white cloth coat is
nevertheless considered a very smart
and becoming affair. Three-quarter and
full length white cloth coats are fash
ionable. Some of these garments are
so loose and shapeless in design and re-
quire so many yards of material in their
construction that they are literally
wraps; others Chalf or tight fitting) are
coats, and as such show to the greatest
advantage the graceful lines of good
figure, yet they are so well cut that
they can satisfactorily disguise the lines
of bad figure also.
The half-htting coat that gives the eff
feet Of being close-fitting at the back,
on account OF its good cut. is certainly
very smart. It is trimmed with braid
ing, done in heavy wool or silk embroid-
cry, with insertions or applique of heavy
lace. and the design of the embroidery
is always most carefully adapted to
show to best advantage any good lines
OF the figure. The sleeves are either
in large bishop styles or coat sleeves
with faring cut These are ornamented
with the same braiding or embroidery
as used on the coat Itself.
Moleskin Popular.
While white is by far the most fash
ionable color. the very light shades o
gray. tan. and blue are considered smar
and are certainly very charming in ef
feet. One shade Of brown that is quit
in the order Of moieskin is popular be
cause it possesses a touch of rose pin
in Innings and facings, pink that con
trasts especially we'll with the brown.
Among the models of the loose coat
is very effective one that. at frs
sight, seems almost shapeless. as i
hangs quite loose, falling in many fold
below the shoulders. 1t is trimmed wit
several rows OF varied lengths Of tn
narrowest soutache braid. and ha

tall, broad-shouldered woman even
though she be large. never looks better
than in this style of garment, which has

The Fad for Velvct.
Fads are fashionable this season. and
among them is the fad that some women
indulge in of wearing not only one color
but one material. Velvet. for instance,
is chosen. and an astonishing number
of changes are rung on the one key

On Friday. January % mamma died;
