masculine garb, SO that we may look
for masculine ioiang women. contin-

have appeared to take their places are

In form that each Of US can find one

There are the Empire Jackets, Of
tather indefinite form, slightly curved
tup In tie back. well above the belt;
the Directoire Jackets with the large
reyers; ether long Jackets with mate:
rails so arranged with lengthwise
seams as to give variety and novelty,
thankslto which we receive new effects

asAll scrtssof striped cloths are used
now for costumes Of this kind; many
are in two.toned stripes, about one
sixth Of an inch wide, of very decided
tstripes in black and violet or brown
and gray. The advantage OF these
unusual materials is that they can be
used in SO many different ways and
one avoids the deplorable common
place which so quickly transforms
into an obnoxious uniform what was
a charming novelty.

crochetel in the same color as the

In tie back the new jackets are
made with panels; the material forms

"The sleeves remain short, or half

add that the cuff trimmings should

collar can be entirely different.
