COATS OF ALL LENGTHS.

Especial Correspondence

| Especial Correspondence
| New York, Jan. 26-Just one-half our
wraps are as long as our dresses, while
the Others are in all kinds of lengths.
Each has been designed to suit some
particular taste, and so there is very
| wide choice. The Monte Carlo coats
are still with us. and many Of the gar
ments offered for midwinter are in that
| shape, while the kimono coat is of
fered for those who like that best.
There is something to be said in favor
! of each. After them comes the auto
| mobile coat generally lined with SPUR
rel fur. 1t has need to be warm for the
purpose
The automobile coats are long enough
to reach the knees in any case, and
sometimes longer. Shorter effects are
preferred. for runabouts, and there are
many kinds of these. The least COM
Portable ones are cut faring at the bot
tom, something like the extreme styles
of the mems coats of the past season.
They set out around the bottom some
what stiffiy and are stitched several
times to make them do so. A novelty
in the sleeves is that there is but one
seam and that is directly on the top,
and the sleeve itself is the old bell
shape, now quite a fad and called pa
CODA.
In the illustra ton can be seen Il coat
in this design, and many there be who
think it perfect. The coat is lined with
fur, and there is stole of pointed
beaver reaching to the bottom after
spreading out wide on the shoulders
like a victorine. A muff to match is
carried with it and would lead one to
think that the stole was postiche, but it
isn't. 1t belongs on the coat.
The longer coat beside it is made Of
black twilled silk. heavy and thick, and
is finished OH the outside like cloth,
with stitching. There is a cape some
thing like those on the Monte Carlos,
but yet not exactly the same. This
style of coat IS lined with fur, general
ly of the less expensive varieties and
always close furs. The collar and long
revers are of mink or some other dark
and deep fur. The revers are so made
that they can be thrown back and the
collar left fiat, or they can be buttoned
across the chest and the collar lifted to
the proportions of a storm collar. By
many this style of coat is preferred to
one with fur outside.
The long listers are as fashionable
as they ever have been, and they are
made to reach quite to the bottom of
the skirt. The backs to some are cut
somewhat in the princess style and in
others straight sack shape. Again in
others there is a double fold from top
to bottom, and few have stitched
yokes. There are also many elegant
coats in a semihistoric cut really
dressy and picturesque.
Besides all these there are very many
capes in military and other shapes. but
mostly rather long and narrow than
full and short. as heretofore The rich
