SHORT COATS NOT WORN.
SeVen-Eighths and Knee Lengths Are
the Styles in Fashion.

While the more stylish new models
In coats are seven-eighths length. still
the square and cutaway coats that
reach nearly 20 the knees are in good
style.
II would be foolish to alter these in
any way TO conform 20 this winters
fashion. The really short coat cut
off at the waist or the hips is quite
out Of fashion. and one would be in
doubt what TO do with it,
The short cutaway coat which some
women wore last spring can be altered
for midseason wear by adding a five
or seyeninch fold Of velveteeu or cloth
to the edges
This is begun in a narrow point at
the lowest button. and instantly widens
as Il goes around the sides and back
OF the coat
Length IS obtained in this way. and
one also conforms TO the fashions.
The same tone OF color should be used

toward a darker tone is permissible.
