made prominent among new things at several
houses, IS becoming only to slender figures. More
than a wear ago the attempt was made 10 launch
short coats but women would have none Of them.

.htted coat. The side seams Of the coat We're left
open and held together by large jet buttons and
Jetted silk cords, and there was a little jet en-
broidery Tightening the collar and cuffs. Her large
hat Of black velvet tulle and dropping black feath
ers curved becomingly about her face. The wom-
