Little Coats That Are Gay
The little coats which come Just to
the waist line, for wear with fluffy
summer gowns, are extremely gay,
They are made from pompadour silk.
in daintiest colorings, with Jokes fall
ing below the shoulder that are a
mass of applique work in chiffon or
lace. The sleeves and bottom of the
coat hang full and loose, being joined
to the yoke with a smart ruching
In pale colors, etamine fairly rivals
pongee. A loose casino coat which
comes below the hips is of open
meshed etamine in champagne tint
shirred straight from the shoulder
seams and neck. The lower half of
the coat shows a delicate embroidery
in "a harmonizing shade of brown. The
rolling collar, reVerS and cuffs are of
the same shade of brown, embroid-
cred in champagne and gold.
A Casino Coat.
Another casino coat-and there is
nothing nicer for wear over the fluffy
delicate summer frock-is of oyster
white pongee, stitched three inches
deep all the way round with black
and piped finely with black silk. Down
the front, at intervals, are disks Of
black silk braid or cord so cleverly
sewn as to perfectly initiate a black
button an inch and a half in diameter.
These disks are also used on the mar
row, straight cuffs, into which the
plain sleeves are puffed but the neck
is outlined by fiat stole in pale Per-
sian embroidered bands.
Both white and cream lierre lace
are popular for casino coats, and black
chantilly comes woven into the neces-
sary pieces for casino coats and on
the more dignified directoire lines.
These must be made over foundations
of very thin silk in self tones, or
black may be hung over white.
For Three-Quarter Coats.
For three-quarter coats, pongee is
the unquestioned leader. 1t comes not
only in the natural tone, but in the
smartest Of spring colors, such as sage
or tea green and bluet. A popularity
of the modes is the odd combinations
shown in trimmings, particularly in
appliques. The smartest coats do not
show lace stoles or Jokes, but incline
to tailored effects, and this is where
the odd combinations appear.
For instance, a pongee coat cut on
absolutely straight lines down the
front has revers appliqued with stitch
ing in scroll design. Where the scroll
defects from the throat there is inset
a narrow vest effect of heavy linen
canvas in tea green.
From the end of this vest runs a
double line of small loops in cord, the
same tint as the silk, caught with
small velvet colored buttons, in the
same shade of green as the linen cam
vas. The same decoration appears
on the scroll-shaped cuffs.
Still another combination is a natu-
ral-tone Shantung, with heavy broad
cloth in forget-me-not blue forming
the scrolls. The broadcloth is en-
broidered and braided in natural-col-
ored silk and gold bullion.
Quite the sauciest thing in beach
jackets are the little box coats OF
pure white serge, double breasted and
finished with small gilt buttons These
are collarless, and the neck and sleeves
are finished with a scroll design in
cardinal velvet, outlined with fine
black silk braid. A white sailor with
a cardinal ruching of ribbon, a white
duck or serge suit, and a parasol of
white, edged with a hemstitched band
of cardinal silk. are shown with this
natty little Jacket.
