WOMEN copy MEN
 IN THEIR CLOTHES

Tn, all the whirl of new fashions, have you had time to notice that the dominant ones are copied from mems clothes? Run them over in your mind and you can check off a num- Der of them, more than may be able to remember at the moment ,4i
 First, the return of the severe man like coat with its straight back, sim gie-breasted fronts. stiff revers, small sleeves put in without plaits or gath CTS, and finished with braid and but tons above the, wrist. One might all most ads to the comparison the man. like shirt. for in the silky. narrow close to- the knee dimensions 1t comes perilously near to the troublesome.
 Plaits are here. as every one knows. and they spell fuilness. but 1t is such adroitiy managed fullness that the last result Is very slim indeed. e,- \ The bioomers or kickers worn be- meath these skirts are borrowed di- rect from the wardrobe of the stern CT sex, sS s..sf ,ss.
 The lingerie shirt that Is consid- cred smart this year, and the only one to which Paris has given anprov- al. has knife plaited bosom. a cenl tre box fplait. e small sleeve.S and turnover neglieee cum. This Is made of sheer linen and has neither lace, CAlBIoiQtEys A0I 4IiSt OH ~ttS buTIact. Shirtwaists' are to be worn onlyI in the morning with man-like suits, and they must be made according to the mannish cut. @
 In addition to this skirt Is the new stock which smart men have copied from the portraits of their ancestors. This is worn with lingerie waists, and is of black satin wrapped twice about high linen collar with points slight ly turned out by the hand. The sat- in stock finished in a single throw over and fashioned with a scarfpin. These bits of jewelry, by the way, are now fashIonsble for women, and the ties are confined with them. i3 They are made of precious and semi prec-. tous stones.r E r-sS ts
 Then there is the waistcoat. This Is another fashion of the moment
 These are worn with coat suits and are bought in the mems department or at the haberdasher's. They are of lambs wool bound with silk braid, or striped corduroy and fancy vest ings. Even the watch and coin pock- cts are not omitted
 In the region of the fancier clothes there is the Cavalier cape. which is variousiy called for the names of brigand. pirate. bhrnous and toga; all apparel for men. These are loose and voluminous. graceful and comfortable, They are made of, satin cloth. and panne velvet, and some even get so opera buffe as to be of black cloth lined with scarlet satin. To top this brilliant cape there is Cavalier hat. This Is sweeping affair worn under merry English Kings. It has 1all the grace of a reckless. day, and Is even more be- coming to woman's face than it was to that of a man.
 In footgear there have been whole- sale offerings. The Spanish heel was always the mark of a Spanish ken- tleman's boot. and 1t has become the dominant feature of woman's shoe, The patent leather house pump, with It's fiat bow. has been so universally pro obabiyq forgotten that hat 1t sn bsiohssd hsed to man generations before the theft. To wear with It they have borrowed his two-toned, accordeon-ribbed stock ings. The butcher laced boot is an, other foot covering of his that has ] been widely transferred from t the woman's department of the shoe shops. for tssa s tsss fsshionasi, %lnia. manpish. coat sutt. sAs sytigs3,. .f,, 7Tf women wear one piece frocks or the street they will cover them with top coats or Scotch ulsters or Eng ilsh suitings, such as tweed and chew lot. These will be cut just like those worn by men, with big pockets storm collars, maftinseiesJats the -sbacl and big bone buttons.
