The Richmond palladium. (Richmond, Ind.) 1906-1907, 1906-10-28

tive with a fur coat today-it is really
quite a pretty and becoming affair for the
small girl. without encountering an I'M
due cost, either.
When one comes to consider the realm
Of the tailor-made, the infinite variety
Of styles that the tailor presents begins
to be bit bewildering. There Is abso-
lutely no one model, or class Of models,
that may be said to reign. One sees short
etons, both loose and fitted. There are
the smart little pony jackets that are ca
pabIe of Infinite variation. Short coats of
Empire persuasion, too. are evident;
while as for the long coats. one sees them
of all shapes and sizes and lengths, Mt
ted, semihtted and loose, and everything
In this line. from redingote that dis
plays the figure accurately to burnous
that envelopes 1T in soft and mysteriously
Disgusting folds.
The vogue that attends the plain cloth
coat topping plaided skirt seems bound
to continue, II one Is to judge by the
number that are to be displayed during
the coming weeks. All sorts Of pretty,
though sober, shades in broadcloth or In
velveteen are employed for the coat. and
the skirt plaid repeats the coat color In
its dominant note.
some OF Iue utCe0 COdtS are Tediiy
trifle suggestive of horse and habit use.
Charming curaways. with most elabor-
ate waistcoat inserted to take away the
slight reproach Of masculinity. are at
fected by some Of the cleverest and most
fastidious dressers. They reproduce much
of the effect Of the masculine cutaway:
but the glossy cloth, the smart waistcoat.
and the use OF elaborate trimmings make
1t an essentially feminine production.
The chiffon yelveteens, and even cordu-
roys. are on view in some charming
shades. For the younger generation they
are vastly liked in sensible colorings:
braided with several widths of tressed
strands, from a soutache up to four-inch
width. Plaid braids End favor here, and
in the darker colored costumes they show
up to delightful advantage.
Luncheon is quite an important func-
ton during the horse week, and as an
adjournment to the Garden Is always en-
regle afterwards, the gowning for the
midday meal Is important. The more
elaborate styles prevail in the afternoons.
Carriage cloaks and to,lettes are much
to be seen, and the charming extrava-
gances that characterize the current mode
disclose themselves here to perfection.
Chiffon velvet, In delicate shades and
colorings. appears to an added advantage
when associated with a picturesque chap
and dainty ostrich marabout boa.
The muf en- suite is usually carried, too:
not for warmth. but rather for appear
ances. The greater part or these dainty
little muffs-only the best Of them are
large-are fashioned minus the usual
down lining, so that they are really quite
suitable for present as well as for future
use.

Several novel materials-that Is they
are novel this year-are being pushed
by many. One Is poplin. which we have
had several times before. but It always
comes back with some new feature to
commend 1t. The late ones, however. are
seen mostly In sober, IL not sombre color
ings: and velvet Is usually the garniture
selected for this colleen poplin when

ciety. Chenille embroideries. too, appear
