lost favor at all-indeed, 1t seems to be
growing in popularity with the smaller
folks, 1t is simply that the manufacturer
has gotten "wise' to the demand, and is
making enough teddys to provide these
little playmates even for the class that
must look for their joys at small prices

New Models IN Scotch Mixtures

1t is quite evident that novelty ma
terials are to be fashionable as separate
coat and two piece suit fabrics this sea-
son, for two-thirds of the early models in
both styles OF garments are made Of
these new Scotch mixtures in comblna-
tions of blue. brown, green. gray and
red with black, or two shades Of one
color. The material, q Scotch serge. Is
In two shades of brown in this instance.
The fronts are single breasted and the
back almost tight ftting. The skirt OF
this coat is cut 80 full as to fall In godets
from the sides all around the back,
making the garment particularly adapted
to very slender figures. The broad
shoulder line is created with triple
straps Of the material buttouing down to
the coat with fancy bone buttons. The
armholes are very large, following ont
the relgning Japanese idea. and the very
full sleeves are set In almost plain with
the exception Of few gathers on the
top, thus giving~a very broad line to the
upper part OF the body. There Is

as 1t does all the popular features Of
relgning NODES 1t has the large manda-
rim armhole which all designers are using
In coats and suits as well as costumes
and separate waists this year, and large
full sleeves that widen the shoulder line
to fashionable proportions. The godet
skirt, prophesied for costumes at later
date, Is very pronounced In this model,
fitting smoothly In the front and over the
hips and rippling gracefully around back
and sides. There is a certain grace and
dash to this model which .presages dts
popularity very early In the season. Like
the ulster 1t Is adaptable to many uses
and with the proper costume and acces-
sories will be equally as smart In the
motor car as when the wearer travels
afoor.
Materials.
The subject of materials is one that is
very interesting this year. Novelty
fabrics have undoubtedly found first
place in utility garments. The novelty
serges and cheviots in dark color combi-
nations make the handsomest garments.
with perhaps a touch of plain cloth.
silk or velvet In collar and cuffs, and
little motifs sometimes combined with
bits of beautiful braids and buttons.
Broken stripes and checks are better
style than definite patterns and Indefinite
Scotch mixtures are In hign favor with
the best makers both here and in France
Dressy Afternoon Garments.
Dressy coats for daytime wear with
elaborate reception, calling and matinee
gowns, are very handsome in fabric,
graceful In cut and artistic in trimming.
The long black marchioness which serves
the dual purpose Of day and evening
wrap In many wardrobes, Is more fash
ionable than ever this season. Its shape
has been altered only to make 1t more
necessary to make 1t garment of
fashion.
Sleeve Lengths.
In the utility coats sleeves are one and
all long, though they differ In size and
in form Of cuff treatment. In some the
fulness is pleated In to form q cuff,
again the bishop sleeve Is gathered into
u high novel shaped cuff, and still an
other model is the medium sized leg o.
mutton or coat sleeve finished with sim
Pile turnback cuff.
In dressier garments the shorter sleeve
is used. 1t is, however, several inches
longer than Inst year and trihe smaller,
Its shaping Is frequently very novel, be-
ing made to accompany the exaggerated
armhole which characterizes many OF
these garments as the dernier cri In
coatdom. In some Instances the sleeve
is part of the coat body, being cut IN
one with It, This form Of the Japanese
idea which harks back some twenty years
when the dolman was In vogue. is, how
ever, too extreme to be generally adopted
as yet, except in very high class garments.
1t will In all probability become popular
later on, working its way into womans
good graces as insiduously as have all
the other modes of the day.
1t is estimated that between 20 and so
per cent. Of the cotton fabrics sent to
tured by Southern mills. and that the re-
naming 20 to 80 per cent. are made by
New England mills.

simulated collar Of brown velvet and the
sleeves are cuffed with the serge and
trimmed with buttons. The length Of
this coat is that considered correct for
all separate garments this season.
A BeImore Top qpat.
Various models is nobby top coats for
the ensuing fall and winter are already
being shown, and perhaps the most at
tractive OF these are the belmore gar
ment Of three quarters length with semi
fitting back, the waistline Of which Is
dropped about three inches below the
natural waistline. giving tho back Of the
garment a very mnnnish effect and one
which is striknigly becoming to slender
figures. These coats are seen In all sorts
of novelty fabrics used In plain tailored
suits and separate coats this season.
The skibo serges in their novelty mix
lures are specially smart. Being n Sc
verely tailored garment, the sleeves are
long and moderately full, the fronts
double breasted and the neck having
turnover notched collar like mans
coat.

Though the tailormade costume has as
sumed an enyiable position in the femi-
nine wardrobe of to-day, 1t has not sue
ceeded to the point Of ousting the sepa-
rate coat, or rather coats, for there are
a variety Of models created for the occa-
slons which demand a garment Of this
nature.
The newest ideas this season follow out
the tendency to plain tailored effects
which characterizes the suit models for
fall and winter. These. of course. are
garments intended for general wear
walking, motoring and travelling, in fact
one garment, carefully selected may be
made to answer for all three of these
uses. and In each appear exactly suited
to the occasion
The Serviceable Ulster.
The loose fitting ulster Of some dark
colored fabric developed In the new length
which covers all but the hem Of the
dress skirt makes a capital rainy day gar
ment. For travelling such a coat is well
nigh Indispensable when It may be worn
with smart walking skirt and shirt
waist or one of those smart little one
piece frocks of silk or light weight
worsted which are to be SO fashionable
this season. In colder climates and on
sea trips the value Of such coat will be
much appreciated. for 1t may be easily
slipped over any amount of other cloth
ing without giving the least effect of
bulkiness,
Many Of the new loose fitting coats are
cut with a bias centre back seam which
gives a particularly graceful fulness to
the coat skirts with an easy smooth fit
over the shoulders. There is one model
which makes an especially clever use OF
the material in its trimming. Two broad
bands, each about three Inches wide, and
one overlapping the other are posed over
the shoulders from hem to hem and ex-
tend over the sleeve like the pleat in
the Gibson shirtwaist.
Trimmings.
self trimmings are a feature of ulsters
and top coats Braids, though highly IA
yored Tor tailored costumes and dresses.
And limited use in these separate gar
ments.
We do not see much of the hood this
year, even in automobile garments, but
hood effects are apparent In many models,

hands OF the coat material, and very
often emphasized with cloth covered but

New shapes.
While the separate coat built for util-
ity may be said to be generally loose Mt
