nipulations such garments may be
retrimmed, cut over and forbIshed
up to last several seasons and thus
become a not over extravagant in
vestment.
For dressy wear all such soft ma
terials as MORE, satin, ottoman or
panne velvet are used, but both
light and dark cloth are used and
perhaps broadcloth Ii liked better
than any other material because of
its rich appearance. The shapes Of
these cloaks and coats are as var
ious as the needs Of the figures for
which they are made and the occag-
ions on which they are to be worn.
For evening wear there Is the very

coat was developed from one Of the
ltwo-toned vale serges now so popu-
ular for service wear. It was of
42-Inch length with bishop sleeves
and square collar. 1t was lined with
a bright collar fastened with big but
tons and cord loops, the cord also
outlining the edge OF the collar and
the cuffs. While loose the coat yet
followed the outlines OF the figure.
The same ideas could be used In a
cloth for driving.
A more dressy coat was patterned
with a Gibson plait over the shout
ders, which was varied down to the
edge, the outline being broken by
two tabs on each side of the plait.
A button decorated each tab
A feature Of the new coats is that

by a number of ornamental seams

and oddly cut revers. The severely
cut coats are used almost wholly fol
