loose sweater. collarless and cut down
slightly like a waistcoat at the neck and
adapted for wear under the motor coat
when additional warmth was needed,
Then came the Norfolk sweater, made
like Norfolk jacket and cut down shaped
IN the neck. This garment is either close
fitting or straight and loose, preferably
the latter. and it has taken to itself various
forms of leather trimming whole yokes of
leather leather belts. collars cuffs, butto rs

Some of these trimmed models are very
attractive and as the one cardinal merit

The boating or yachting sweater is an
other innovation and is made to como
we'll down over the hips and fitted to the
waist. The neck is arranged like n saicr
blouse. with turnover sailor collar, en-
broidered dickey and scarf and the sleeves

fuller than they once were, to permit the
wearing of the fuller blouse sleeves under

Another sweater, reaching down over
the hips and fitted by rbbing at the waist,
Is made double breasted, buttoning with
large fat pearl or gold buttons. A broad
coat collar may be turned up closely to the
throat or turned back to show the UNDER

A sweater bolero. colaresS. ending inst
above the waist line and not fastening down
the front is made with loose bell shaped
elbow sleeves and another novelty in the
ordinary blouse form ending at the waist
has square no'k, staniing collar and GUNS,

The sweater is one OF the most practical
garments in the sport-woman's outfit, but
there are many practical wraps IN the
travelling and sporting category, and some
Of them are decidedly attractive as well
as practical The Inverness coat has long
been favorite in England, but it has only
within recent seasons been seriously saken
up over here, possibly because it costs us
so much more than it costs our English
cousins.
1t is at it's best only in the soft, loose
woven, deliciously light and warm Scotch
woolens. and the duty upon the material
brings the loose comfortable coat, with it's
graceful cape. up to rather a high figure,
but any woman who spends much OF her
time out of doors in the country despite
wind and weather will find 2 frs class
Inverness a good investment.
Many other coats and capes are made up
in these same soft mixed Scotch woolens.
which defy hard wear and bad weather
One cape brought over from London and
shown in one OF the cuts here was a most
comfortable and attractive garment I r
driving or for any purpose calling for
warmth and loose enveloping comfort
rather than for elegance. 1t was made OF
q mixed brown and green Scotch wool in
a broken check and trimmed in brown
leather. toning in exactly with the brown
shadngs of the cloth.
Pipings, binoing, buttons and collar we're
in the leather, and the full cape, falling long
in front and back, ran up to sleeve length
at the sides and could by means Of little
leath straps and buttons underneath be
held in sleeve shane over the arm inst cad of
falling loose.
Three-quarter and five-eighth coats,
straight in front, belted loosely in the back
and made with cape or hoods are shown in
celent garments for motoring, travelling,
driving, &c. In soft, thick wool dark
blue In &C r. this model with the hood is
liked by yacht men or for steamer wear.
An imported model of this class, designed
exclusively for yachting, buttoned with
large dull gold buttons and was lined in the
hood and throughout with dull blue.
Similar coats are shown too, in heavy
white serge with or wit hout contrasting
color in hood, lining and collar.
Black velvet collars are used upon white
coats in serge pongee and linen, though
not upon yachting coats and velvet collars
appear, too. mrractcally enough, upon
some Of the smart est silk rubber raincoats
and motor coats.

some women and is made in all the plain
dark coiors, with very attractive plaids or
the wrong side of the reversible surface.
Ia fine quality, thick soft light In weight,
the mat terial for such capes is expensive,
but It Is n mist AXE not to buy a good one

There are more capes in the wrap list
this year than in many sea son past,
fact due possibly in part to the larger
frock and blouse sleeves, and some OF the
models are quite picturesque and attrac-
tive.
