Vivid Innings for Coats.

The new black satin coats, which
are made on directoire lines and worn
with black skirt or over colored
frocks, are lined with brilliant colors.
A lining OF plain black or white, or
black and white. is commonplace. One
has wistaria, catawba, vivid geranium,
American beauty. and the new pink
as choices for Innings. There is no
repetition OF this color on the collar
and cuffs. but the lining has a way
OF showing. Some fastidious women
repeat the color OF their hats.
