will be worn the coming season. as
will the thin mohair, linen and pique
jackets. The styles of these modish
coats are not noticeably different
from those used a year ago, though
there are several supposedly new de
signs shown in the shops Among
them there is a particularly smart
kind of garment that has long shap-
ed shoulder cape, which is caught
down on each side of the armhole,
and thus takes the place of sleeves,
but the old loose wrap with full long
coat sleeves is still in vogue Indeed
the three-quarter length loose coat, in
white or light colored serge. worn
with black velvet or colored silk or
linen collar and cuffs is a most SER
viceable style of wrap. 1t may be
made with the regular box back. like
a driving coat, or be set on a deep
fitted yoke front and back. and just
shaped little at the waist and hips,
like the so-called fitted empire gar
ment. Sleeves are made full length
on all simple coats and on a great
many of the more elaborate models.
The most popular sleeve is a medium
sized coat-like variety, full at the
shoulder and brought into a narrow
cuff below the elbow and then finished
off with narrow velvet or embroidered
cuff at the wrist.

New York. March 16.-New idea
novelties in wells for spring and sum-
mer are many. The lace veil is being
taken to a greater extent than ever.
but manufacturers OF novelty wells
have dropped this to quite an extent.
They are showing lines of mesh wells
of various styles, the newest of which
are trimmed with chenille fringe.
Popular colors in these designs are
green. gray. brown and black and
white The ultra-fashionable shops
are showing new shades of green's in
goods of this description. the weight
and contrast of the border giving
most pronounced effect to the veil.
In spring millinery lines wells and
draped effects are quite the feature.
Importers have provided largely
for scarfs and veil trimmings. as last
summer in Paris chiffon draperies
were extensively used toward the end
of the season for trimming plain hats
hats of Panama and chip straw. the
chiffon being draped about the crown
in folds. the ends hanging from the
back of the hat almost to the waist
line. The latest Paris models brought
to this market represent hats in large
effects of black chip horsehair in
shapes or dropping effects. The trim
ming consists of varied combinations
such as maline. velvet ribbon. point
d'esprit, ostrich plumes, paradise. etc.
Flowers are also being used. and are
expected to be prominent feature in
the trimmings during the summer.
Ribbon trimmings OF the streamer or
der are also prominent in the new
material. and are worn on all OF the
most dressy hats.
Color contrasts are always effective.
and whenever fashionable are sure to
be popular. Naturally It takes a mas

There is. however always a danger
