 AND GRECLAN

| A long and wide piece of chiffon ol very sheer liberty silk is chosen. Th( wrap is suspended from the shouIdert and then swathed about the. figure iI seemingly careless manner. This | about the most difficult thing in thi world to accomplish, for no amateu can achieve this effect, especially d her own figure, and a wrap that [ l it's grace. Thefefore 1t is firmly sewe and held in place by 8 series weights.
 In the first place, the. one endsof tI cloth down the centre is slit for a dt1 tance of yard, having first been c
 on long, tapering bias. The pofi of divergence is then held in place i'd the time being to the centre betwed the shouldrs, and the two ends tIl formed draped one over either shou | der to long, loose, cascade-Iike sIeeve one n dch longer than the other. Th& are listened to a little shoulder strG Of ribbon, which is held in place
 being tackled to a narrow belt TL point of attachment between the shou ders is now released and allowed
 adjust itself in graceful folds doW the back, and the other end is hes by the upper corner and wound arouE the body, fastening with a large cs TI mainfng end being hooked beneath t outer folds of the back to a suspend6 ribbon attached to the little belt I'll ends of the sleeves are well weighted weights also being placed in shoulde to hold them in place and along t edge of the back and ia centre bad drapery.
 A very handsome and more practicN coat is shown in Fig B. It is mad of exquisite old blue satin, richly end broidered in deep claret shades d 1 flowers and soft green leaves.
 It hangs quite freely from the shouI ders, but is gathered in at the he'd and caught up in the back so as t form slight draDery about the hips
 The sleeves are large and roomI finished with a huge cavalier cuff ( black velvet. which also forms tb | large, loose shawl collar. The edge are finished with quilting of claref | colored satin ribbon with a corle edge The coat is lined in the mos delicate rose co1ored chiffon. veiIirI a white satin lining
 For less formal wear is wra shown on the figure at the extrem right. It has admirable lines, combfH ing the simplicity e the Japanes sleeve with ample folds of. a Greefa dress.
 The shoulders are very short, tne1 being no shoulder seams or arm holet as the yokeIize top is cut in one wit the long panels of the front and bac1 Gathered to the lower edge in Derfectl straight widths is the lower poEtiof which may be either Of chiffon, so{ satin, lace or a heavier material. TH yoke, sleeves and panel should be ( contrasting and heavier material.
 The one shown in the illustration ( constructed of phosphorescent grea panne velvet com bined with tWo-ton& green chiffon, the panel being embroit cred in gold thread and black jet rwhE the yoke and sleeves are finished wiG ables.
 The other two coats speak for them selves, being for the most part coH structed with an eye to utility as Wes as for beauty of line.
 most cunning little coat was sedC the other evening while promenadfE& on the veranda at the Atlantic Yacl Club. It was made of black. and whfe striped velvet and lined in old got satin. F It seemed to be made by siuF ply putting a width of velvet ovt each shoulder and sewing them u gether from the waist line down, tl two pieces meeting here on long biz of stripes, the intervening f'V'' shape piece being filled in with stripes ru& ming the through way and cut in oM with the high, tight-ftting collar thf was finished with a two-inch quilliG of black velvet ribbOns which contiG ued on down the front, ending in huge, fiat rosette that held in plaf the draped-up ends of the coat in froH The sleeves were caught up and drap& to suggest a loose tunic sleeve all this draped up the velvet about tf hem so 1t hung in a doIman-like draf cry in the back The little debutanN who wore it looked for ali the wor& like frolicking young zebra in h baby stripes.
