STYLISH SEPARATE WRAPS
ARE OF SIMPLEST DESIGN
Braid, Lace, Linen and Cloth Goats Made on Plain
Bot Attractive Lines.

Was the separate wrap-that convenien,
garment-ever before made In sucA a va
riety of different models and materials?
Lace, braid. silk. cloth. linen and nov
city goods all enter into the construction
Of these coats, and many of them are in
styles so simple that any amateur dress
maker may safely attempt them at home
For some of the designs really do not
fit the body, and the wonder Is how any
garment that looks so shapeless when
lying on a chair can appear stylish when
worn by women who have not specially
we'll developed figures.
The lace and the braid coats are favor
ties and, lined with thin silk, give suf-
f1cient warmth for this time of year.
The average readymade coat in lace or
braid is not very expensive, and if fash
Toned at home has much individuality
Recently very smart coat made from
strips of insertion lace was SEEN. 1t was
sewed together with inch-wide braid, the
lace being three inches in width. In con-
structing such a wrap the strips should
be basted down alternately to the paper
pattern until it is entirely covered. then
they must be sewed together and the pa
per cut away from beneath. After shap-
ing these pieces it will be little trouble
to put them together.
Use Shawl Collar
A shawl collar of black satin ending in
cravat ends could finish the neck. To it
might be added a narrow turnback collar
Of mauve cloth, the lining Of ecru organdie
printed with orchids in natural colorings.
This coat could be worn at a church we'd
ding over a black net frock.
The hat of ecru rajah bound with black
satin and trimmed with orchids would be
suitable with this garment.
The materials for such a coat would cost
no more than the lace wrap, yet there
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1908-08-20

would be an air of. distinction that the
former would lack entirely.
Supposing one has not sufficient time for
making an entire coat. there Is always the
such as a collar. threadings or Innings.
and the model cited above Is given as an
illustration.
The ratahs and pongees make UP into
smart and practical wraps FOR general
wear but as pongee brushes so easily the
rajah is perhaps the better choice.
Its rough surface, however, catches dust
and soil quicker than the smoother pom
gee.
These fabrics are usually made in only
loose styles, following the kimono lines,
with sleeves cut in one with the coat. To
construct wrap Of this design seven
yards of silk thirty-six inches wide Will
be sufficient to make a long, full wrap.
and a good quality can be bought for 90
cents a yard. For these garments little
trimming is required. A touch Of black
satin and bit of color about the neck Is
all that is necessary. The latter may be
of silk or cloth in dull blue. geran1um red,
old pink. almond green or pretty Gre
tonne may be chosen. Tan linen Will be
quite as smart looking for wrap If the
silk Is considered too expensive
Tourists Coats Of Worsted.
The tropical worsteds and the light
weight tweeds make up into most conven-
lent and practical tourist coats. These.
too, show the same simplicity in design,
for there is a gored cented back seam, the
fronts crossing double-breasted, and large,
roomy coat sleeves and numerous pockets
in different sizes. This is model that
cannot be improved upon for the purpose,
and four yards Of cloth fifty-four inches
wide will make good-sized wrap.
Apart from the buttons no other trim
ming will be bought as stitching forms
the only decoration.
Linen coats are worn now not only In
white and tan, but in the brighter colOrs,
as old rose. dull blue. bun and light
green. Cretonne, as a rule, Is chosen as
trimming to the newest linen coat.

nineteen years old. Of Chestnut and Lo-
Gust streets. yesterday afternoon saved
a woman from drowning in the Delaware
river. off the Spruce street wharf.
Mrs. Catherine Clark, summerng in one

unable to swim, and her cries attracted
attention on shore.
The boys were in a rowboat close by.
She was Just going down for the third
time when Shaw leaped into the water
and seized her. Flynn took hold and
pulled her into the boat. She was taken
ashore and resuscitated after two doctors
had worked over her for half an hour.
At least a hundred persons saw the thrill
ing rescue and loudly cheered the boys.
