In rainCoats pure and simple the fine
wAterpToofed silks in rich colorings trim
med with huge buttons decidedly the
vogue. These are always long and loose,
both as To body and sleeves, but may be
! belicd into the figure. Collars and cuffs OF
contrasting color or different shade are
also seen. A rich red silk coat of this sort.
with h,g white pearl buttons and white
waterproof velvet showing in the collar and
cuffs. is a cheering sight In rain storm,
especially II the day be chilly.
Several manufacturers are having brought
out this autumn plain, almost tight-ftting
ulSters of waterproofed goods, but these
are best suited to the means of those who
cannot afford many wraps or only very
few. Still there few women who
wOn't-wear loose raincoats and these VIII
suit this class.
y rather odd combination of colors worn
"a an English wedding combined blue,
white. yellow and violet. The bridesmaids
frocks were made of blue taffeta with
bolero Jackets of Irish crochet. Their hats
were white beaver trimmed with blue
p'dmes. and their necklaces were slender
gold chains having pearl and amethyst peh-
dants. Each carried a large bouquet OF
elbow chrysanthemums.
At an Irish wedding there was a much
prettier combination of wreaths of pink
heather and white tulle wells for the brides
maids. These topped pink gowns.
Many of the new hats and toques TOR
walking. informal luncheons and travelling
are trimmed with black quilts having the
Stems gilded. They make rather smart
trimming for decoration for all black hats
| and in many instances are placed across
| the front slanting from one side to the
| other.

! hat seen at Sherry's, and of the Amazon
| order, had two big black quilts with gold
stems at one side. slanting down toward
! the front.
