RESTORATION OF
THE SHORT COAT
Good News For Limited Pocketbooks AS 1t Isn't
Hard to Have Your Last Years Long
One Cut Down

N EFT tho woman OF good figure re-
joice and be glad. The edict ha.
IL gone forth from the Rue dc Ia
PaiX and the long coat is
doomed. For the tailor built woman
this winter there are nothing but short
coats. In which she can display to full
advantage the comely curves and good
lines of her shapely body. Long coats
have had good, prosperous reign, any
way, and the change is welcome, for,
pleasing as they were to the eye when
they first came In, 1t was high time
We had little variety.
Again. the woman who is at her best
IN fine feather, whom much ornamen-
tatlon becomes, and who does not
shine to full advantage in the auster-
ity Of raiment that was supreme last
year. may breathe a sigh of relief. For
the most handsome suits that have
come out of Redfernis and PaQuin's
are elaborately trimmed certain
degree OF last winters severity is to
be perceived IL some models, but they
arc adapted mostly for morning wear
and shopping. 1t is always desirable
to have suit of this kind in ones
wardrobe, Of course, and 1t will always
be good form for the woman who can
indulge herself In only few clothes.
Heavily Braided.
In my visits to the shops that cater
to the best New York patronage l
have noticed that tho leading models
put forward were broadcloths, chey-
lots and serges, most of which were
elaborately braided. Some also had
braid that was put on quite plainly.
While jackets are not fitted quite
closely, yet they follow the lines OF the
figure. To my mind this is the ideal
cut for tailor-made. 1t gives the ef-
feet Of looseness while still conform
ing to the shape that nature and the
corsetiere join in giving us.
Fancy collars and cuffs are seen on
q great many suits, reveTs OF velvet
and silk.
Belts OF patent leather are still much
liked. Generally they match the cos
tune In color. but II black is used for
a trimming, it is continued In the belt,
Tho new ones are extremely narrow,
scarcely more than line at the natu-
raj walstliue.

cloth has trimmings of white molre
and buttons of white pearl By these
short descriptions 1t Will be seen that
at the moment there is furore for
these buttons.
