New York. Sept. 1S.-One Of the
notable dress features of the season
Is the light, long coat for evening
wear chiefly, but seen frequently in
walking and driving styles. The prin
cipal materials are foulard. pongee
and tussah with a sprinkling of linen
and very lightweight cloths. These
coats are cut straight, without any
curve at the waist. They fit tightly
about the shoulders, however, and DO
not give at all kimono effect. They
are narrow about the bottom, having
no flare. The fullness is gathered in
stead into strap or a wide band, Or
the coat is cut at the knees and
straight flounce added.
Many of them have square or round
sailor collars, some of them long
enough to reach the waist line. Some
of them have very long revers also,
but the opening is narrow, showing
not much of the bodice Sleeves are
very loose, especially for evening
wear. Usually they have deep turn
, back cuffs in material and color to
match the collar and revers.
The latest in color combinations is
dark red and rather bright blue
so combined as to give the effect Of
the modish purple. This is very smart
| indeed, but care should be taken not
to use either of these colors for trim
ming Black is the best, or some
neutral color.
Hat Models.
! Hats are unusually attractive this
season and the latest models imported
! from Paris indicate that the poctures-
que styles in vogue now will remain
in style during the cold season. One
good feature of the modern hats is
that they may be worn with mini
mum of hair. The turbans come far
down over the head, covering the hair
and ears completely. and under many
of the big hats there are fetching lit
tie lace frills which droop over the
hair and fill out the hiatus between
face and hat him which used to be
filled by substantial pompadour and
punches of puffs and curls.
These bewitching little lace under
caps, or bandolets as they are called
in Paris, promise to be the feature
of winter millinery. for they are so
becoming to almost all women that
everybody will want to borrow the
fattering device The bandolet is
supposed to represent a little lace cap
worn over the hair under the large
hat, and is a very old fashion revived
these lace caps having been worn
under huge bonnets and hats a cen
fury or more ago. The new bandolet
however. is not cap, but a frill ol
lace attached to fiat bandeau, which
lis fastened into the hat in the manner
of the circular bandeauX which were
used to make large head sizes fiji the
head last season. Sometimes the lace
frill is trimmed with a wreath of roS-
es, but more often merely the frills OF
lace are used. And this lace must be
of the daintiest and finest quality OF
the bandolet will miss its effect
