new tailored coat anu bhlAL puAbo S-A-
season-nothing is extreme-and, al
though 1t seemed from the style
shown during the in-between season
that coats would be noticeably snor
and skirts unpleasantly narrow, th'
styles taken as a whole show neithel
of these eccentricities, but are JUS
comfortable in-between. The mate
rials are all soft and supple and mod
erately light in weight.
Covert cloth in the familiar grayis1
tan is being used by some OF the
houses for the severer type of tailored
suit and the new serge Is very sofl
and heavy In quality, without trace
of crispness in texture. Ratine, the
new beaver finished material, which
has just been introduced this season,
] is lovely and warm for winter tailored
suits, but it is not likely that 1t viii
be worn at home for this purpose as
much as on this side of the water, as
1t lacks the trim quality that Amer
ican women like In their tailored
street clothes. 1t will undoubtedly be
popular material for country and
golf suits, as 1t Is wonderfully well
adapted for this purpose.
AS lining material In satin wraps
and coats for afternoon and evening
wear 1t Is really lovely and takes the
place Of an interlining and an over
lining Of silk or satin. as it is used
without any additional overlining. It
is made In all the new colors, and'
black and white.
Cancels Hair chevIot.
Another charmingly soft material is
camels hair cheviot This material
is quite unlike the old camel's hair
cheviot you may have In mind, with
out the loose long hairs 1t is almost
smooth, having a feeling of chamois
when the hand is passed over the nap
of the material The new colors are
exceedingly soft and low in tone, with
the probable exception Of cerise and
a bright greenish blue, which is used
for dressy afternoon and evening
gowns, although they are both col
crs which are more used for evening
cloths. and even then must be worn
with care by few people.
There is a lovely soft green, like the
green of partially turning leaves, al
most gage green in color with tint |
brown. Blue is much used in all ocl- |
ors, the staple marine blue leading,
and new blue, called blue of the
night" is in even a more somber tone |
than the marine blue, and is liked as a
trimming with tones Of lighter blue.
Then there is very soft light blue,
which is almost a green, with a clear
water Blue tone, much liked for after
noon gowns and tailored suits with
collars and cuffs Of silver opossum
fur. Brown is a great favorite in
light leather tones and a darker to-
bacco brown.
In Tailored Suits.
One of the best points about the
new fashions In tailored suits Is that
they are full Of ideas to use in fixing
over ones tailored suits from last sea-
son. In every instance the material
can be taken away; there is no neces-
sity for adding more of the same kind
Of material. which greatly simplihes
he work of alteration in clothes.
The majority of the tailored coats
measure II inches from the waistline
This Is, of course, much shorter than
asst years coats, so the shortening of
l coat is very easy to give it the new
ines. If your coat happens to be made
With pockets set rather low, cut the
'oat directly on line with the lower
'dge of the pocket If the pockets
ire small, use material from the bot
ON of the coat and make long narrow
extending them around over
he underarm seam and making them
rom five to seven inches in height.
Trim with bone buttons along the
lppsr edge in a straight line and |
fitch a two-inch band Of the mate l
ial along the upper edge of the outer |
ide. 6
This will give your coat a new look, s
s the little pockets are quite out of I
ashton.
Then as to the back of your coat !
he newest models are quite plain fit c
Ing without trace of fullness at the
over portion Of the seams. 1t gives I
very snug. trim appearance to the o
ack Of the coat and is really much l
etter than the open vents, which are o
lways turning up at the corners. p
Vhen buttons are used they are plac- c
d high on the side back seams, at n
bout an even distance between the p
nderarm and the lower edge of the p
oat, which brings them at a high u
aistline. Many of the coats have a r
read rolling collar of fur, one piece 81
lightly narrowing toward the lower s.
ige. u
Sailor Collar Still Popular. K
There is no abatement in the use Il
the sailor collar shapes, which have v
-own to cape-like proportions on D
zen the short coats and are almost u
used on the long dressy
'ats of silk, velvet and fur. In a
luare shapes they hang to within a I
W inches Of the waistline, and the Il
,und collars extend well over the W
)per portion of the arm, forming a Il
'ep revere in front, fastening at the
aist. They are exceedingly pretty eI
hen made of dyed muskrat. or the "
al seal If one is fortunate enough bt
pay the price or had an old coat
hich can be utilized for this purpose. tr
