WEAR THE COAT SWEATER.
snu9ly Fitting Garment That Affords
Much Comfort.

The fashion for waistcoats has
brought about. a new sweater which is
tight fitting and is made to show.
1t is knitted in most of the fash
ionable colors and is smart in leather
brown, jade green with a black Dor
der, bright blue with a striped border
and gray with black edge and
smoked pearl buttons.
These go by the name of coat
sweaters. They are to be widely worn
in the country life this season.
Any girl who suffers with cold
should get one to put under her coat
on the street. They fit so snugly that
they do not disturb the shape of any
thing they are worn under.
Outside of the city they serve quite
as well as coat. They have long
sleeves with turnover cuffs, fiat revers
and good-loo,Iing buttons.
They reach below the. hips and
usually have one or two pockets in
front.

1T appears to me that the southern

CLOAK AND GOWN COMBINED
French Creation Built on Fashionable
Greek Lines.

One of the seasons offerings in the
realm of clothes is a combination gar.
ment which is dress and a cloak in
one. The creation is a French one. as
one might readily surmise, and it is
built on the fashionable Greek lines.
When it is worn as a gown there is a
long, graceful hanging skirt having
drapery around the hips which is
caught up to the gown at either side
with a fancy braid ornament. With
perfect ease one side of this drapery
can be detached from the skirt and
lifted to one shoulder, thus convert
ing the costume into a semi-wrap af-
fair. BY following the same method
with the other side of the skirt the
drapery can be attached to the shout.
der and the costume becomes a gown,
over which is worn very handsome,

to the edge of the train and caught
up In artistic folds in front.
