lows on the heels of the popular blue
serge coats with white skirted frocks
so much in favor during the recent
late summer, which have not become
common enough to be undesirable.
The new coats are usually of good
length and plain cut.
Plaids and wide stripes never did cut
into coats or bodices with especial
readiness or grace. but are more easily
fashioned into graceful skirts. AT any
rate, the plain separate coat bids fair
to be leader for some time to come.
This does not mean that one coat VIII
accompany several gowns any more
readily than in past seasons, but Il
does mean that with the one coat in
view a woman of limited resources may
be able to select her gowns so that a
single coat will go well with two or
even three of them. In such a case,
the hat should be chosen with refer
ence largely to the coat.
The waistcoat is a very important
feature of many smart coats just now
The newest and most fashionable ira
terial for the waistcoat sernbIauce is
linen taffeta figured in old Vatican
patterns, which has come in for lust
such purposes with the new fall goods.
This cretonne-like fabric is a modern
version of the antique tOiie de jOuy
The present craze began last winter,
when a fashionable woman in Paris
employed an antique piece of toile de
iouy of priceless value for the lecOra-
tione of her gown. Since then the fad
has spread until not only hats and
gowns are trimmed with cretonne and
pardsols and waistcOats made Of it, but
entire coats and gowns have BEEN pro-
duced in IT,
Some lovely designs are found in
these novel dress materials, and an
other season will no doubt see them
carried to an extreme that will drive
them forever from the field. Such ma
terfals are not for the woman with a
limited supply of clothes. except as a
waistcoat, possibly, or parasol or hat
decoration.
All the thin weaves. such as crepe de
chine, marquisette the voiles and the
light woods are being made into elab-
crate costumes that run through the
rich dark shades, such as gendarme
blue, the plums. purple reds. dull, deep
green's. smoke grays and chestnut
browns. All shades Of brown seem to
be In the run, in fact. and mosr of the
other rich tones of other colors. Cop
per and terra Gotta, green, blues In
medium light shades and the puppies
are the colOrs that are taking at the
moment with persons who always
stand for ultra-fashions. Just how
these shades will take with the leaders
Of styles for the coming season remains
to be seen.
There was never such a wealth of
beautiful trimmings offered to the wo-
man of moderate pocketboOfx as now.
The rich Oriental embroideries that
have always been rare with her be-
cause Of their price are here in abun-
dnnce, done, to be sure, on the ma
chine, but so marvellcusly initiating
hsndwork that close inspection is
needed TO tell one from he other. And
TIE prices are modest considering the
effect. The silk landings worked in
choice patterns are TO be found now in
great variety and will settle the aues-
ton of the touch of color TO brighten
many smart gown and coat. Such
trimmings, in connection with the
braids Will make up stunning collars
and waistcoats. Black, everyone's
