SHORT COATS NOT WORN.
seven-Eishths 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 to the knees are in good
style.
1t would be foolish to alter these in
any way to conform to 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 seven-inch fold of velveteen or cloth
to the edges.
This is begun in a narrow point at
the lowest button, and instantly widens
as it 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
to match the cloth. A slight variation
toward darker tone is permissible,
especially when velveteen is used.
Even English mohair suits of the
heavy durable quality that have been
worn all summer can be altered in
this way to advantage.
1t Is not recommended for light
serges or pongee or rajah silk. These
fabrics are best put away in camphor
until next spring.

or ecru, as fancy dictates. When a
waist exactly matches the skirt 1t is
more becoming often to have the
chemisette relieve the monotone with
the contrast of white or cream in
stead of being in the same shade.
The over bodice or bertha is of pc
culiar but most becoming shape. 1t Is
rather square across the shoulders for
this seasons fashion and finishes in
deep points over the draped chiffon
cloth. Two buttons, matching in color
the bodice or else contrasting attrac-
lively with it, are set on the inside OF
each Of the two points. This trimming
of broadcloth makes quite enough of
a connection between the bodice and
skirt, in addition to the uniformity in
color, and prevents the clumsy effect
of an entire broadcloth waist or one
more nearly made of cloth by having
none of the heavier material about
the waist
