Attractive Coats.

Among the severe modes are some
most attractive coats in blue serge
with color introduced in the collar.
Bright reds, green's, and even orange
are the color notes most used. One
of the smartest coats seen this fall is

pipings and buttons of black satin, a

of utility coats there is nothing so
chic as the large check woolens in
black and white with collars of black
satin or of black combined with a
bright color. Black and white stripes
still retain a certain prestige, though
as rule they show soil readily and
are not desirable for all figures, while
broken plaids and invisible markings
are becoming to almost any type.

every man in the country ought to be

The Psyche knot is the favorite
couture of the moment.
Pompadour ribbons are much in de-
mand for evening sashes.
The sack shape IS smart and be-

The walking coat is long and the
walking skirt is short.
Rich and dark colors have the great
est vogue in hat trimming.
Brightly colOred heels are found on
many of the new smart pumps.
Some smart French women are be-

Filet net and soutache braid are
the two most popular trimmings.

Embroidered Coat Collars.

Linen embroidered coat collars will
be worn until it is time to put on
furs. The new collars have a touch
of color, which is quite Partisan. They
are somewhat larger than the early
fall styles and the revers come to a
deep point. The edges are embroidered
in long, shallow scallops, alternating
blue and lavender or pink and blue.
Green and white is an effective COM
bination for these dress accessories.
Irish lace medallions are introduced on
the collars. tiny roses with an open
meshed border encircling them being
the favorite design.
