The Richmond palladium. (Richmond, Ind.) 1906-1907, 1906-10-07

One of the prettest designs that has
appeared far in the more practical
class of autumn and winter wraps is that
which is known the Belmore. Com
bining, as it cleverly does. the charms of
the fitted and the semiitted modes, 1t
is sure of enthusiastic acceptance from
the woman of taste. In the illustration
1t is shown developed In one of those
smart Irish tweeds, which fashion favors
so strenuously this season, the choice be-
ing in strict accord to the vogue that is
so literally accorded to all things Irish.
The ground is a pretty pearl gray, one
of the light tints that do not show dust
readily. and this is plaided in open de-
sign by hair lines In lavender and violet,
presenting to a charm the combination
of delicate colors that is really the key
note of this seasons style. hint of
the preference for mannish modes that
asserts itself strongly in imported mod
els Is seen In the cut, and is further en-
phasized In the mannish collar and lapels,
that are faced in dull shade of violet
cloth. The back and sides define the fig
ure sharply, while the double-breasted
fronts are managed with q dart that
curves from the shoulderline down to the
side seam below the waist, and makes
for a delightful effect of curved slender
ness. Pockets are deftly tucked into the
cloth applique that covers this dart, be-
low which the side seams flare sharply.
IN ACCORDANCE WITH DRESSER
DEMANDS.
For those who still cling to the style of
coat and skirt to match, even In the
heaviest winter costumes, this smart
model, really separate coat, but

when so desired, Will commend itself.
One Of the lighter-weight meItons is used,
braids are called upon to add their smart
effects, and the touch of velvet at collar
and cuff makes for the softening element
that the mode demands.
The back is fashioned with a full COM
plement of seams, each with pleat
deity tucked In, that is pressed fiat and
relea sed after the hip curve is passed.
The side seams are treated after the same
fashion, while the fronts accentuate that
smart shoulder dart that in the newer
mode is made to curve in the most fetch
Ing manner Braid trimmings are posed
or each seam, calling attention to the
perfection of cut and finish that the
tailored work Is expected TO show up to
perfection. The fronts present panel

the line of the shoulder dart
Like all of the separate wraps that are
Ia mode, the seyen-eighths length is
fonowed- This really gives all the
warmth and protection that n full-length
wrap affords in winter weather, while at
the same time eliminating the extra
weight of cloth entailed in the added
inches displayed by the full-length wrap.
THE MODE OF THE MARCaIoNESS.
Copied from most attractive Stage
wrap worn by the .Marchioness'' of the
piece at the Theatre Gymnase, Paris, the
design has been reproduced with the title
Of the Marchicness, thus recalling the
triumphs of the original wearer of the
design model that will prove espe-
cially effective for well nigh every kind
of figure, the professional designer, as
we'll the home dressmaker will find
many hints and possibilities for repro
duction. The ut over the shoulders is
made with what Is In truth yoke but
so cleyerly cut that one oyerlooks the
fact that it Is merely a square yoke. Un-
