Newest Coat and Skirt Costumes.
One of the newest of the coat and skiyt
costumes for this season is qpite on the
lines of the fashionable model of four
years ago. The skirt is pleated in wide
hoX pleats. the coat is medium length,
with eXasgeratcdly long ana narrow col
lar of satln, and is bound with satin and
has satin buttons.
Serge of fine cord and light weight is
one of the favorite materials for this
model, and dark blue with trimmings .ot
black is the slnRrteSt color. There are
also CheY!otS that make up effectively.
and it is effective In heavy ribbed ponGee
and in the smooth cloths in plain colors.
Some women object 10 serge as Il material
and chouse always the plain cloth in
preferences. and the latter material has
been so popular of late years that it now
is more IN demand for the more elaborate
gowns and costumes that can be made
up with some trimming.
White serge costumes, or, indeed light
colur serges. are not appropriate in tray
Cling but 10 summer outfit is complete
without white serge coat and skirt
The white serge with hair line of black
is IN style this season and is rather newer
than the plain white, or was, for since
the fashion became popular it has grown
by leaps and hounds until there is danger
of its losing its smartncss from its popu-
lnrity
There arc some new weavcs of white
cheviot and white serge. The former with
herringbonc design, as. it is called, is a

ERENCH designs for mourning cos

FRENCH designs for mourning Co.'S
tunes are most elaborate. For per-
son in mourning an enormously wide
hat is shown, with brim slightly bent
down and aaring up on one side. The
crown is high and narrow. A huge bow OF
crepe with butterfly ends is the trimming.
1t is placed directly in front. A crepe veil
with an embroidered edge is draped on the
back Of the hat in Il most jaunty fashion.
With this hat is worn crepe gown prin-
cess to the knees and then falling In
pleats. The gown has suspenders at the
top. which are finished with scallops edged
with satin There are yoke and long,
plain sleeves of white crepe. bow with
long ends o. satin hangs at the side.

tucked black chiffon over a white lace
underdress. This was trimmed with
bands of embroidery in dull jet.

EXTREMELY smart and certainly
unusual is the design for u separate

The coat may of course be worn with a

pleated, but it is shown among the new

sleeves, the design is suitable for serge
and the more strictly tailored materials.
The only trimming is of braid, braided
buttons being used across the front, down
the lower sleeves and to trim the lower
part Of the coat.
While the front of this coat is striking
and new, it is the back which is most re-
markuble. 1t emphasizes the evident de-
sire of the modistes TO return to pleats
and TO introduce them in such a novel
manner into n design that the public will
welcome them back.

ID "a L. EoIlU4 ONLs
Tor more than year has serge been
fashionable material and the number
of serge gowns and costumes being
made up at the present moment would
indicate that the fashion is still popular.
Serge is n material that has generally
been associated with the idea of cold
weather, tho winter season and practical
hard wear generally; but there are now
so many different wcaves and weights
not to mention variety of colors, that the
material has assumed a place of its own
among the fabrics for summer rs well as
winter, and no outfit is complete without
at least one serge costume Black and
blue have been and are the favorite colors
for general wear, while serge somehow
seems thing apart and is used for more
elaborate styles; but gray and brown have
of late been added to the list. Brown
serge is, however, not to be rashly recon-
mended, for if it is not of just the right
shade aud texture it is most unbecomins
and unsatisfactory in every respect, and
there are only a few shades that should
be considered
Blue serge trimmed with black is
combination that suggests itself, for black
trimmed blue serge costumes are al
ways smart whether the black be in
the facings and finish or in the braiding.
At the moment the narrow soutache and
the inch width Hercules braid and an
Z inch width fancy braid are the most in
demand. There is no set rule as to how
the braidng shall be used There may
be bands of it around the skirt; several
different widths combined, or four rows
of the inch wide bordercd with the mar
row soutache Some of the costumes are
most elaboratey braided, while others
have as little as possible on them-Just
enough to show that braiding is the
trimming above all others.
Smart Serge Costume.
The one piece short serge gown, a sort
of long, half fitting coat, has been and is
considered the smartest of any serge cos
tune. Extremely severe in line and de-
tail, it possesses the much sought after
effect of making the wearer both ex-
tremey slender and grlish, and although
it does not fit tight to the figure it has
all the appearance Of it and carries out
to perfection the very latest craze for
long jersey or sweater coat with a
pleated skirt.
Above the pleats, entirely covering the
Jersey top, or what looks like a jersey,
the material is covered with an elaborate
braiding of black soutache put on in
straight lines alternating with irregular
curves, the straight lines finished with
crochet or passementerie tasscls; the
serge sleeves, full above the elbows, are
finished with straight band of the serge
and below the band q deep lace culf.
There is a small yoke and slick collar of
lace, and around the yoke and above the
cuffs is a band of Chinese embroidery on
a gold or silver braiding on light color
cloth The same style is made in Il much
simpler plan without the elaborate braid

New York, Aug. l2.-Even with tenta-
tive articles Of agreement signed by Jack
Johnson and Sam Berger. manager OF
Jefiries. It is still hard matter TO con-
vince experienced sporting men that these
rival heavy-weights Will ever meet in the
prize ring.
There are several points arising from
Wednesdays tallcfest between Johnson
and Berger IN Chicago that are not re-
garded with particular favor by raen
who have been in close touch with pusi-
listic affairs for years. II is a fact that
Johnson offered 10 wager $1,000 that JEFF
fries would never fight again. and that
Berger declined 10 accept the proposi-
ton. It IS also a fact that Berger readily
agreed TO reduce the amount of the side
bet and then insisted that the fight should
not take place until some time next April
Furthermore. II is true that Berger in
serted a paragraph I'm the articles OF
agreement which was pronounced to-day
"a joker that the division Of the purse,
whether on a 35. 70. and . per cent or
winner take all basis, IS left entirely TO
the decision Of the boilermaker
johnson can refuse 10 fight II Jen
says the winner must take ALL" said a
fight promoter to-day. giving as an ex-
cuse that Berger slipped one on him. He
can also refuse to accept a purse that
may be regarded with favor by Jenries.
Furthermore, the negro may object 70
the selection Of a referee. or he can de
Eberately funk out OF the match as he
did IN the case OF Langford in England
last May.
So far as Jefries IS concerned. II he has
reduced his weight 10 z55 pounds. as he
says he has. why does he want TO put
Off a meeting with the black man until
next spring. Wouldn't IL look better r
Jeffries insisted on fighting a. an earlier
date2 Why doesn't Johnson insist upon
December as the time for action? The
answer IS easy. Both men are going 20
get more soft money by filing vaudeville
engagements in the fall and a greater
part Of the winter
II IS generally believed IN California
that COhroth already has a secret agree
ment with Johnson % fight az Colma, and
that the negro VIII promptly accept hts

Jehries is believed 20 favor Vernon. Cal.
where McCarri can pull of a forty-fve-
