as l predicted some time ago, every
coat Is long and we'll below the hips,
some reaching to the knees, while 9TH

combination is a purple cloth dress
with a waistcoat of peach colored vel

silk for the most part, and it is found
decorating alike the costume of cloth
and the costume of velvet, which
owns it's cheaper, though scarcely less
effective, rival in the costume of vel

braid, fashioned in the simplest style,
with small sleeves reaching to the
wrists, and a step-collar and rounded
ends to the cutaway front.
Sometimes these coats are fitted
with cloth waistcoats of some con
trasting color, buff for choice, and

of hem-stitched lawn depending from
