The Picturesque Coat Still in Vogue

found, and heavy cords are often grace
fully associated with these ornaments.
Among the expensive cape cloaks of sim
pie arrangement are models of satin, quite
plain, save that the upper portion of the
cloak, over chest. back and shoulders and
upper arm. is almost solidly embroidered
by hand in self-oolor. Rich and beautiful
effects are obtained in this manner, and
sometimes. as in the model of the sketch,
the embroidery runs down from the Shout
der to hem along the arm line.
This special model is a most attractive
one, the embroidery being done on net in
soutache and silks all in one tone, while
the body of the cloak is of satin. A gray
fish mulberry hue lined with palest creamy
pink was the color scheme Of one of these
embroidered cloaks, but In this model the
embroidery was done directly upon the
satin, and here and there a CLINT Of gold
thread shot through the mulberry silks
Of this embroidery.
More complicated models are made UP
in combinations of embroidered net or
lace and satin or crepe; and entire coats
OF embroidered net or lace promise to have
much popularity during the summer and
are shown in many artistic draped models
as well as in straight falling, simple lines.
Chiffon and marquisette too, are favorite
materials for semi-transparent summer
evening cloaks, designed more for beauty
and grace OF line than for warmth, though
they do supply more warmth than one
would imagine when thrown over a de-
collete evening frock on a warm summer
night.

a delicious carnation shade OF rose, which
showed only when the full gray folds were
thrown back or fell aside.
Another gray satin cape, lighter in tone
and more on the ash shade, was trimmed
yellow between corn and apricot.
Among the dark capes was a striking
Paris model in some sort Of rather heavy
satin surface crepe OF that intensely dark
purple dubbed raisin-a purple almost
black-and was lined with a soft shade of
rose which harmonized exquisitely with the
darker line.
Shawl-like, draped capes or cloaks have
been turned out by some of the best Paris
ian designers. and some OF the smartest OF
these are constructed OF exquisitely en-
broidered Canton crepe, with fringe for
trimming. Superb old shawls are some
times used for coats of this sort, but it Is
possible not to buy double width Canton
crepe embroidered all over In self-color
and oriental designs, and this crepe makes
VI beautifully into the draped and shawl
cloaks or capes.
Handsome knotted silk fringes are NOV
ing this season and form the natural trim
mings for this embroidered crepe. OF
course artistic draping is the keynote of
success in such models, but some OF the
simplest effects are among the best, and,
given the beautiful supple material, it
seems as II any one should be able to so
arrange such drapery, as, for example,
appears in the shawl model illustrated here.

Why Is Fat

Is II because one is born with the ten
dency? Or is Il one OF '1ife's trials, or
is IL due to just plain, hearty appetite!
The doctors say not any one or these
phrases the question correctly. They say
fat is because the fat persons digestive
organs are defective, Such organs, It
seems, don't change the fatty food eaton
by stout persons into heat and energy, as
they should. Instead the food fats pass
on into the system unconsumed. Hence fat
layers accumulate under the skin in uuiet
spots, such as the chin. abdomen, Shout
der blades, etc.
Let the digestive defect be corrected
and the formerly fat person goes back to
his or her original shape, You can prove
this on yourself. Seventy-five cents will

Mans Reflections On Millinery.
The movement in some Of the churches
to induce the women to remove their hats
during the services is reasonable, says the
New York Times. The things many women
wear on their heads nowadays are so
grotesque as to divert the attention Of
others from the religious exercises. They
are so big that they obstruct the congrega-
tons view of the pulpit. They are grossly
inappropriate to a house OF worship.
The spring hats. in fact. are the worst
examples of e~xtravagant fancy and mon
strous in execution. They compel the male
observer to sigh for the very big hats of
last fall. Those seemed then evils scarcely
endurable, but fashion has brought us
others that we knew not OF. These pot
like effects and inverted baskets covered
with artificial flowers and plants that seem
