Long Goats Are a Pad
Of the NomeDt

Tho long coat Is at Its best this year,
and utility is a minor point In its Sc
lection. 1t must be picturesque and
eminently becoming, and 1t must har-
monize with the costume worn with it.
Long and loose and very slender in
general effect, It has the modish en-
pire waist. or else snug-fitting back.
and it is trimmed as long coats have
never been trimmed before.
Pongee. rajah and tussor motoring
coats are now planned with costumes
OF similar material. the trimming en-
tering into the decoration Of the un-
derneath frock and being repeated on
the cuffs, collar aud waistcoat OF the
coat Some OF these harmonizing outer
garments are made with waistcoat Of
contrasting fabric and color, and not a
few have been displayed with waist
coats Of cretonne and chintz showing
some charming color effects.
Apropos of waistcoats for the woman
who does not wish to be bothered with
removable waistcoat, and who still
clings to the feminine desire for
variety. happy compromise has been
invented by one ingenious designer.
whereby the separate waistcoat may
be buttoned into the under arm seams
Of a semi-fitting or loose garment. and
to all appearances become an integral
part of 1t. But with hardly moments
work different waistcoat may be
substituted and the entire effect OF the
garment changed So much for inge-
nuity.
While many trimmings are debarred
Of necessity from entering into the
decoration Of the coat designed for
motoring, one sees huge crochet but
tons. brandeburgs OF cords and braids,
pendant ornaments, folds and pipings
OF color. as well as soutache tightly
curled into solid rings for the decora
tion Of bands of self material. or for
the trimming Of collars and cuffs. A
somewhat novel arrangement is the
placing Of these disks of soutache the
entire length Of the sleeve and some
times up the shoulder seam as con-
tinuation of those on the sleeve. Oc
casionally a similar line of soutache
ornaments outlines the large revers
and the decoration may also appear at
the center back and form a heading
for plentiful shower Of braid pen
dants. Fancy buttons. too. play an i'm
portant part on these coats.
In most models Of the dressy variety
here referred to, the sleeves are loose
and roomy, giving ample space for the
frock worn beneath. Many are of the
wing or cape variety. and are cut in
one with the body Of the garment.
For rainy weather there are mum.
Der Of firm materials only slightly rub.
berized, so as not to be uncomfortable
in hot weather. They are to be had In
almost all the desirable colors. such as
gray. tan. blue. green and red. as well
as in black and white. One OF the
most unusual of these models seen In
New York is tight-fitting redingote of
scarlet waterproof serge, perfect fitting
and plain. Modistes are copying 1t in
firmly woven linen and a silky quality
OF mohair. Black and white checks
are also used for very smart styles.
