a long and wide piece of chiffon or
very sheer liberty silk is chosen. The
wrap is suspended from the shoulders
and then swathed about the figure In
a seemingly careless manner. This Is
about tho most difficult thing 10 the
world to accomplish. for no amateur
can achieve this effect. especially on
her own figure. and wrap that Is
being constantly adjusted soon loses
It's grace. Therefore IT is firmly sewed
and held in place by a series OF
weights.
In the frst place. the one end Of the
cloth down the centre Is slit for a dis
tancc of n yard, having first been cut
on a long. tapering bins. The point
OF divergence Is then held In place for
the time being TO the centre between
the Shoulders. and the two ends thus
formed draped one over either shoul-
der to long. loose, cascade-like sleeves.
one much longer than the other. They
are fastened 10 a little shoulder strap
Of ribbon, which Is held In place BY
being tackled TO a narrow belt The
point Of attachment between the shoul-
deTs is now released and allowed 10
adjust itself In graceful folds down
the back. and the other end Is held
by the upper corner and wound around
the body, fastening with n large ca
bachon on the right shoulder. the re-
naming end being hooked beneath tho
outer folds OF the back 10 a suspended
ribbon attached TO the little belt. The
ends Of the sleeves are we'll weighted.
weights also being placed in shoulders
10 hold them In place and along tho
edge of the bnck and in centre back
drapery.
A very handsome and moro practical
coat is shown In Fig B. II Is mado
Of exquisite old blue satin, richly en-
broidered in deep claret shades OF
flowers and soft green leaves.
II hangs quito freely from the shout
ders. but Is gathered In at the hem
and caught up In the back so as to
form slight drapery about the hips.
The sleeves arc large and roomy,
finished with a huge cavalier cuff OF
black velvet. which also forms the
large. loose shawl collar. The edges
are finished with a quilting OF claret-
cOlored satin ribbon with a corded
edge. Tho coat is lined In the most
delicate rose colored chiffon, yelling
a white satin lining.
For less formal wear Ia wrap
shown on the figure at the extreme
right 1t has admirable lines, combin-
Ing the simplicity OF the Japanese
sleeve with ample folds OF a GrecIau
dress.
The shoulders are very short. tners
being no shoulder seams or arm holes,
as the yokelike top is cut In one with
the long panels OF the front and back.
Gathered 10 the lower edge in perfectly
straight widths is the lower portion,
which may be either OF chiffon. soft
satin, lace or heavier material. The
yoke, sleeves and panel should be OF
contrasting and heavier material
The one shown in the illustration is
constructed Of phosphorcscent green
pannc velvet combined with two-toned
green chiffon, the panel being embroid-
cred In gold thread and black jet, while
the yoke and sleeves are finished with
sabes
The other two coats speak for them
selves. being for tho most part con
structed with an eye to utility as well
as for beauty of line
a most cunning little coat was seen
the other evening while promenadlng
on the veranda at the Atlantic Yacht
Club. II was made OF black and white
striped velvet and lined In old gold
satin II seemed TO be made by sim
ply putting a width OF velvet over
each shoulder and sewing them to-
gether from the waist line down. tho
two pieces meeting here on a long bias
Of stripes, the intervening "W' shaped
piece being filled In with stripes run
ming the through way and cut in ono
with the high. tight-fltting collar that
was finished with n two-inch quilting
OF black velvet ribbon. which contin-
ued on down the front. ending in
huge, fat rosctte that held in place
the draped-up ends Of the coat In front
The sleeves were caught mp and draped
to suggest loose tunic sleeve and
this draped up the velvet about tho
hem so II hung In q dolman-likc drap-
cry In the back The little dcbutante
who wore It looked for all the world
like a frolicking young zebra in her
baby stripes.
