Is eccentricity to put it's mark on
modes for the coming season? Truly
it might seem so, for from Paris are
coming models of coats for spring and
summer that make one think of bread
and butter days, with their pinafores
buttoned down behind The new coats
three-quarter length and fiaring, fasten
behind with huge buttons. Fancy
butchers white linen apron, and you
have more or less the main scheme:
The bottom flares, of course, and the.
front is either plain, shirred or finely
tucked as one wishes. Around the
neck, back and front, the garment is
cut out to show the guimpe of the
dress, and small velvet revers or any
thing one wishes may finish the edges.
The sleeves are short.
One of the models shows only three
buttons for the fastening; another has
them all the way down to the bottom,
although the lower ones are not sup
posed to be used. In light weight
clothes, for women who are tall and
slender, they will be tremendously
chic, and in silks or chiffon for sum-
mer they will be irresistible. | would
like to see Mrs. Phil Lydig with one.
She would know just how to carry it,
Speaking of coats, it is going to
be next to impossible to find one that
is square across the bottom. In one
way or another all are shaped, and for
tailor frocks quite the thing is a cut
away SO exaggerated as to make "swal-
low-tail' more exact term to apply
In front, these coats, that fit like paper
on the wall and are either double or
single breasted, come well above the
knees, sloping down until at the mid
die of the back they are only about
eight inches from the bottom of the
skirt. It's most kind shape to short
| figures afflicted with embonpoint, for
| it gives a most charitable effect OF
height. I'd recommend it to Mrs. Ollie
Belmont, for example; Nathalie Schenk
Collins couldn't do better either!
Tall, thin women may still wear
most stunning one from Paris the
other day. 1t was shade duller than
electric blue, of a smooth panne cloth

and pliable as crepe de chine. The
body part bloused with a wide box
pleat in the front, the same pleat con-
tinuing below the belt to the bottom,
which was below the knees in front,
sloping a little to the back.
There were narrow revers at the
neck made of panne velvet of the same
shade, braided in Persian colors havins
the merest thread of gilt. The revers
were outlined with band of baby"
Irish point which was edged with
narrow val lace ruffie.
| The short sleeves had flaring turned
back cuffs of the same embroidery and
lace.
| Wells are not so many removes from
coats, and those coming over from
Paris are truly amazing! They may
take for the summer when more BIZ
zarre effects seem permissible, but
indeed they are wonderful, warranted
to match every gown. The net is
black, fancy weave. Celia va sans
dire! And for dots! Ye gods they
are put on in the dizziest geometrical
form in pretty much every color of the
rainbow. For example, there will be
yellow, green, blue, purple, brown, and
all the rest Of it seething over; trifle
wierd, you see, but Paris has gone
quite mad over them
