to the richest silk chiffon velours. The
shops are full Of fancy velvets and at the
beginning OF the season there was much
talk Of fancy velvets, but latest advices
from Paris are emphatically on the side OF
plain velvet, and the crush velvet, in par

effective in combination with plain cloth

ScITUATE, Mass, Oct. :0.This old town
has full fiedged woman engineer. She
is Mrs. j. W. Unworthy, daughter of John
Smith, retired sea captain of Scituate.
Her husband is q marine engineer employed
by the Long Island Railroad Company.
Il never had bit Of trouble, and they all
used me first rate" said Mrs. Unworthy,
when asked how men regarded her invasion
Of that field OF labor.
Mrs Unworthy has an engineers license
and has travelled considerably with her
husband. At times her knowledge of his
work has made her very useful. She has
had many adventures which would not
have been relished by other women.
Il was always interested in machinery

shorter. skirt
Going back to the long skirted coat,
group OF such models sketched for the large
cut illustrates a few of the best variations
upon this idea as applied to the street cos
tune. majority of'the coats have hip
seams, and in the more elaborate models
the hip seam line is accumulated by large
fiat pocket flaps, usually braided or en-
broidered
The coats are ordinarily single breasted
and may either button singly from bust to
waist line or may open over a contrasting
waistcoat, IA in several OF the sketches.
Upon the most severe models mannish
collar and plain coat sleeve are the rule,
but much originality is displayed in tho
collars and cuffs OF the dressier suits, al
though an ample cont sleeve is usually re-
tanned.

Directoire suggestions slope back grad

with large handsome buttons and open
over embroidered or braided waistcoats.
When made as parts Of three piece Co.'S
tunes, the redingotes are worn over blouses
OF lace, chiffon DC, and only In this ar
rangement Ia such a coat practical. Some
imported street frocks have the coat and
walstcoat buttoning up snugly or worn with
a gimp and dispense with an under
blouse but while such frocks are often
particularly smart, they are too warm for
comfort indoors, and no extra wraps save
neck furs can well be worn with them.
This same consideration has handicapped
the Louis and Directoire long coats In their
struggle for recognition as house frock
details. Charming house frock models and
reception frook models have appeared
fashioned with long picturesque coats to

In combinations Of velvet and cloth. silk

on silk muslin, these costumes are delight

wrap goes we'll with them, and unless wo-
man can afford just the right outside wrap

things. The same combinations carried
out in a short basque coat will be found
much more serviceable.
In Paris long coats fitted in at the back
and sides, but made plated or full, with
the fulness shirred or belted at the waist
and falling loose below, are in evidence.
They arc, as one importer expresses it,
"a cross between Dircctoire redingote
and Russian moujik,' and are slightly
bloused, but, so far, this idea which require 8
very able handling has not gained favor
here.
The short basque coats and coats Of
moderate hip length will be found more
generally becoming than the reding otes,
and while not SO new, are quite as fashion
able. The short basque coats are. of course,
fitted snuely at the waist and often belted
or eirdled; but though the general tendency
is toward the coat fitted closely at back and
sides if not in 'front.' the sack coat has not
disappeared and loosely falling coat models
are numerous enough to please those wo-

Moreover, the redinsote does not affiliate
with the genuine walking skirt, the skirt
that actually clears the ground, and the
French woman knows better than to put
the two together, but it is to b feared that
American women are not going to show
equal wisdom.
For that matter, the French woman's
short skirt is a different thing from our
own particular variety of that article.
There has from t'mn to time been much
talk about the adoption Of the short skirt
by Parsians and it is true that of
recent seasons the short skirt has made
more Roadway in Paris than ever before;

skirt in combination: "Tho French have
