The new fashion of long outer wraps
promises to be quite as much used
this summer as were the loose fur
or fur lined coats of last winter, and
for much the same reason. They can
be easily removed on entering any
festive scene, completely conceal an
elaborate gown in walking or driving.
and above all are the acme of comfort
when any wrap is desired. They made
their appearance early in the year at
Monte Carlo and are now in vogue in
Paris and are bound to be a smart
feature of the summer in San Fran
cisco.
They are popular in New York and
Washington. and Mrs. Longworth has
one in her wardrobe that invites de-
scription. 1t will be worn this sum
mer over her lighter and more elab-
crate gowns and is fashioned of silk.
The coat is long and extremely smart,
one of the latest wrinkles in feminine
| adornment. and like everything eIse
really exclusive and chic, created to
meet the wants of particular occasions.
| This coat Is in dark blue tussor lined
throughout In soft silk and covering
| its wearer from throat to ankles.
1t may be added in passing that Mrs
Longworth has an entire wardrobe in
linen gowns of wonderful variety. from
the severe tailormade short suit, which
as a girl she made almost q. uniform,
| to the handkerchief linen, embroidered,
| inserted and otherwise embellished In
wonderful stitchery, making these
gowns attractive and beautiful enough
| for any summer time occasion-the
| formal dinner party, a wedding break
| fast or garden party. The linen gown
is certain to have an unprecedented
vogue this season in this city. where
! the climate is, one might say, eter-
| nally propitious for the sheer and white
material that might be an innovation
! and likely to be a daring one upon
| some cloudy eastern afternoon
