Separate coats for winter wear are de-
cidedly the novel feature of the. season s
fashions. They have been kept in the
background for a number of years by tai
lored suits and the rainproof wrap with
warm interlining has served in their stead
against the invasion of Jack Frost.
This year the separate coat is sweeping
everything else before 1t. AS an all-envel-
oping wrap, which can be worn with any
frock and in any and all kinds Of weather,
it has returned to favor in most fascinat-
ing forms. 1t has little In common with
the old-fashioned. ungainly cloak, and it's
new lightness and suppleness render 1t as
suitable for wear in the chill days of fall
as in the icy months of winter. Heavy
and bulky, the old garment insured -
more warmth than the close weaves Of the
exceedingly pliable materials which are
the foundation of the coat now making
it's appearance. In grace and comfort the
latter offers no comparison.
Chiffon and satin broadcloths lend them
selves most favorably to the new coats
and they are to enjoy a great popularity,
both in light and dark colors. Covert
cloth in it's myriad shades is also a ire
mendous favorite, and rough cheviot

for practical coats. Colors are less bril-

NEW YORK, September 8. 1905.
New ideas for misses costumes show an
increase, II anything. in the coquettish
quality which has of late seasons per-
vaded girlish dress. The shortness Of
sleeves has much to do with this, as well
as the many methods OF high girdling,
these modish points calling for all sorts
Of charming and elegant touches. In fact,
so prevalent are the smart elbow and
three quarter sleeves, with their attend
ant coQuetries, that a wrist-length arm
covering seems almost stern. and effort
IL generally made to have the tight fore
arm piece in a contrasting texture, so as
still to give the short-sleeved look The
girdles especially the sorts garnished
with fancy slides aad buckles, are not a
whit behindk,...d in Identifying quality.
and the dainty little ehemisettes worn
add grace to any costume.
1t is upon these dresSy points. indeed
that much of the SmartnesS of costumes
depends nowadays, for the only really
plain frocks are those for everyday use.
Day by day woman's dress is becoming
more and more elegant and eXactInS,
which makes a good and correct appear
ance-one of the most important factors
of the hour
The costumes smart dressmakers are
now engaged upon for misses wear are
to a great degree ordered for school use.
Nevertheless, the elegance and dressiness
of the moment are literally demonstrate
ed, the simplest class frock showing the
marks of the dernier cri. The street

ployed in novel ways, Is to use the gown
plaid, cut in a different manner, for the
trimming. For example, If a pleated skirt
Is on the straight, the pointed hip yoke
and fancy band of the skirt bottom Will
be on the bias. The same arrangement
is carried out in the bodice, upon which
plain silk or velvet is likewise used for
the necessary contrast.
A little checked frock displayed in the
larger drawing shows the smart erect
achieved by the combination of bias and
straight. The material IS brown and green
Scotch wool. and the trimming plain green
liberty satin. The form of the little belted
bodice. which is side pleated to a yoke
covered by a small sailor collar, is extreme
ly girlish. and the entire costume represents
an excellent model for practical outdoor
wear.
Front Breadths Wider.
The newest skirts show tendency to-
ward very fun front breadths, though the
apron is so tightly pleated at the top that
the width only shows at the bottom. The
narrow apron line. even exaggeratedly mar
row at the top still gives the most stylish
results, for all the cuts and curves of fash
Ion are for slimness. So for those who can
not wear the skirts pleated all round there
are circular models which introduce a mar
row. plain apron The majority of such
skirts show no other establishment.
A full-frOnted skirt with one of the new
est Jacket models is also given in the larger
drawing. The material of the gown Is blue
and black novelty elaine. while the plain
trimming is black band velvet. The smart
est feature of the bodice is the shrring at
the waist which creates the effect of a
tailed blouse.
Another smart, short-taled Jacket has
the hips cut out and side pleatings inserted
an odd strapping of the garment with the
gown material being its other feature.
Elton All Fancy.
Etons of every degree of length and every
degree of FRESHNESS are seen, the only
taboo against anything in this field being
apparently for the perfectly plain, fitted
model. Fancy jackets in such materials
admit this treatment-thn elaines silk etc.
are shirred at the bottom and to little
yo<es under the collar. Wide elbow
sleeves are gathered with shirrngs at the
bottoms, and into the armholes, further
ing the look of fussiness With such fixy
little colts whose underbodices are COM
monty of some pretty net, lace or the
finest embroidered batiste, long gloves are
worn, though sometimes the bouffant
sleeves of the blouse will emerge, under
sleeve fashion. below those of the jacket.
With the coming of winter such models
will be carried out in thin cloth, with
soft silks for the long sleeved blouse.
In the matter of street materials cloth
is to be much worn by young girls, with
restrictions only against such tints as are
recognized matron colOrs. great pref

8 HOURS A
DAY ON
CANAL JOB

Washington. June 9-The opinion OF At
torney General Moody regarding the APP
plication OF the eight-hour law on the
Isthmus Of Panama was made public yes

He holds that the act OF Aug. /, 1892.
which limits and restricts to eight hours
the daily service OF laborers and mechan-
les employed by the government 81 the
United states or by any contractor or
sub-contractor upon the public works OF
the United States applies 10 the employ

any OF the employees OF the government
who are not within the ordinary meaning

must get up steam in the morning before
