ENING WEAR IS IMPORTANT

NEW YORK. April a-Once more that
Broadway opening The frock and coat
costumes Of drcssy character were in a.
class Of their own, and II seems a pity not
to offer more than three sketches Of these
models but the three will give some slight
idea OF the variety TO be found i'm this
province Of dress
/ Chiffon wraps, en- suite with frocks are
enormously modlsh and vary widely in line
and character. Long draped coats or
cloaks on the order Of the Agnes model in
heliotrope of the grayish crocus tone are
unlined or lined with chiffon in white or
! a shade blending with the coat and are
often admirable in line, offering oppor-
tunites for soft and subtle drapng, though
the general effect Of the lines must be long
and clinging
/ These coats may be trimmed in en-
broideries usually Of self-tone and heavy
enough to weight down the filmy folds.
or they may have trimmings Of self-color
satin or other silk, of lace dyed to match
the chiffon or Of dull metallic thread. Or
perhaps quaint little old fashioned ruchings
of silk OF fringe wide or narrow may be
used for trimming.
Black coats of this type are worn over
colored or white frocks and there are
lovely dark chiffon coaks too, in the
greens and the vivid deep blues, and the
grays while for less sober wear and even.
ing use are Iavlshing coats and draped
capes Of chiffon gauze etamine, tulle, etc,
in the lighter colorngs and often In curious
combinations which would be CHASTITY IL
they fell Just short Of being consummately
successful. one such cloak is in one of
the melting ripe peach plnks and has for
trimming embroidery of periwinkle blue
tones with Just a touch of black satin.
And apropos of pink cloaks, one of the
loveiest evening coats we have seen Is in
the new shrimp pink. crevette, a delicious
shade It is made of some supple light
satin finished crepe and has lining OF
black tulle. The shape is the modified
Japanese loose sleeve and coat cut in one,
but without exaggerated armhole. Sleeves
and entire coat are bordered with wide,
flat turned-ba back bands of black tulle, one
thickness. handsomely embroidered in
silver. The raised design in silver against
the background of pink cleaning softly
through the yelling black is indescribably
effective.
Tulle or chiffon coats of another type,
simple OF line. straight, narrow, unlined,
are made up in black or the deep blues for
general wear over white frocKs or may
be en- suite with frock, as in the elab-
crate yet severe Beer frock sketched for
the large cut on the opposite page. We
have seen one chic emerald green coat OF
this type which worn over white would be
softened enough not to seem aggressive
and would be uncommonly effective with
the right frock and hat.
But to return to our muttons, or to tho
coat and frock costumes OF that oft cited
opening The two models grouped with
the draped chiffon coat of the Agnes cos
tune were from Callot Soeurs and were,
of their kind, as attractive as anything
we have seen this season. Color had as
usual much to do with their success, but
line and detail were admirable, too, and
there was a striking contrast between the
girded coat limiting at Russian influence
and the cut-away taffeta, with it's turned
back fronts and its odd little trimming of
self -braiding, all a fugitive echo from the
courts of the Louis.
! The color scheme of the costume with
belted coat would have TO be seen to be
appreciated. The frock is Of cachemire
chiffon, that is chiffon Of cachemire or
Persian design and is in two exquisite

enders or violets and a delicious chamois
which blends perfectly with the violet.
The skirt slightly below the knees and
held by scarf of violet silk. The girdled
coat is of a peculiarly soft corded silk In
the gray violet, with hand embroidery IN
silk and in soutache matching the silk ir
color
One Of the new and delicate shades OF
natter blue was used for the model witt
cutaway coat, the frock being in blue chif
fon effectively embroidered i'm white, Will,
the coat was of taffeta. We have seer
this same Callot model in a dull old pinl
and in leaf green, and the coat In partic
ular has found very ready acceptance.
A large number OF the handsome car
riage coats, evening coats, etc, take tn,
form Of a draped cape rather than a coat
having no armholes or merely an openinl
in the drapery by way OF apology for {
sleeve. These garments at their best ar,
extremely graceful and are made in chif
r fon, tulle. lace, etamine and almost all o
: tho soft silks
The satin finished crepes which are mad
in innumerable weaves are favorite cloaI
materials and very handsome and service
able clOaks are fashioned from such ma
