Every season finds the American
woman asking for the common sense in
apparel and this season the long coat
that completely covers n from neck
to feet is the marked outcome of this
demand.
The Princess dress with lace sleeve
and guimpe while a beautiful thing and
SO very desirable for indoor wear is not
suitable for outdoor wear and cannot
be worn from house to church or gar
den or elsewhere after dark without
some sort of covering. The first of the
long coats appeared at the summer gar
dens and made of Pongee, serge or 9TH
er such material at once caught the IAN
cy of the public and appealed to them
as the proper covering for the Princess
dress. The manufacturers, quick to e
the trend of this demand, planned their
winter coats along this line and it is
freely predicted that the exception to
the long coat this winter will be re-
garded as a freak.
OF course there is one exception for
early fall wear before the weather gets
cold enough for heavy coats, and that
is the opera cape for evening wear.
But with the colder weather the 54-inch
coat will be the thing.
The Great Coat, as it is called, is
made in the medium weight broad
cloths, coverts, bedfords, and modest
mixtures. The plain colors will be in
best demand of course, as they can be
worn season after season but the fam
cies as shown in the diagonals will be
worn by the business woman who sell
dom wears a coat longer than one sea-
son q
The Moyen Age ideas are to be seen
in the Great Coats but are expressed by
the arrangement of the trimming or in
the large metal buttons. Long beauti-
full lines Is the rule with braids at
the hip line to bring out the long waist
effect. The back is snugly fitted yet is
not what we would call fitted. The
long lines make the fitted appearance
easy to produce and the garments for
fall will be the best fitting we have had
for years.
The collars to the Great Coat will be
conventional lapel and collar with a
tendency to Dutch collars and shawl
collars. Fountain knows that the fin
cry beneath should peep out and the
lapel opening will be larger than last
season.
