7 ACE coats are still worn over even
ing gowns and at afternoon at
fairs. and now they are finished
around the neck. where the coats Of
last year looked SO bare. with bands Of
soft satin run in and out through the
lace and caught here and there with a
small buckle or an embroidered button.
When the inserted satin reaches tho
waist line or Whereabouts. 1t Is allowed

It is mitered and finished in long silk
en- tassel.
These coats are with or without
sleeves and fastened across the front
or left open. as good taste dictates.
Sometimes they are Of three-quarter
length. reaching square to the knees:
sometimes they are cut away from the
bust and finished at the back in a point.
At all times however. they add to the
life of an evening gown. and a lace coat
bought now may be worn indoors until
summer. when 1t may take its proper
place as an outdoor wrap.

Caring for Silks

VERT worst thing for silk is heat and
ofttimes a wardrobe is built where
chimney runs right back OF 1t. or a
radiator is too near. so the silk crum-
bles.
Many wholesalers have holes drilled
in the walls for ventilation in winter. IL
their silks are near any excessive heat.
and manufacturers that have a heavy
stock in summer always place it in
cold storage. Certain colors are moro
perishable than others. but 1t is well
to take precaution for the protection OF
all.

are finished with bands of en-

q point at the line Of the neck and ex-
tend over the shoulders. where they are
loosely caught in the front and allowed
to hang almost 10 the knees. These are
usually made Of filet net heavily en-
broidered in gold or silver. or both.
and they add a very festive touch to q.
costume otherwise devoid Of trimming
The idea is new and shows signs Of
being much elaborated as time goes on.
for there is no end to the materials
that might be used for the purpose:
lace, chiffon. net, soft linen. tulle-what
might not be employed?

Some More About Waists

TN striking contrast to the fluffy
blouses of lacy rufiles are waists
fashioned Of silk poplin in white,
preferably on the ivory tone.
These waists are trimmed with wide
silk soutache braid to match and are
finished with shallow yoke and stock
Of heavy lace.
The sleeves are three-quarter length
and close fitting. There is a sleeve
drapery Of poplin which is edged with
q narrow fringe.
Fringe as sleeve trimming Is a pref
ty novelty. and the ball variety is most
attractive.

bands of taffeta in a paler tint or color,

rect to wear a collar fastened In the

would dispute the propriety Of wearing

A Rare Souvenir.

A curious souvenir is preserved in
the Bank of England in the shape of a
note for f1,000 with which Admiral
Lord Cochrane paid his fine when he
was falsely accused of spreading with
an interested object rumor that Bo-
naparte was dead in 1914 so as to
cause q rise in the price of stocks.
The sum mentioned was raised in sub
scriptions of a penny by his Westmin-
ster constituents. The note is indorsed
with the name of the intrepid but i'll
used salt and has inscribed on it a
sentence in which he expresses the
hope that one day he will prove his
innocence and triumph over his ac-
cusers. That consummation was not
effected until eighteen years later,
when he was reinstated by William w.
