not girt in around the feet This band
| ed in effect on some of the Parision
coats is so alarmingly snug that the
women have to be lifted and pushed
into their cars. the xep from the
| ground to the running board and thence
into the tonneau being practically i'm
possible.
The dainty silk coats. lined with con.
trasting color, are very attractive for
| wear over summary frocks on short
spins out to country club or for other
wear OF this sort; but these coats would.
of course. be most unsuitable for long
dusty drives across country. 1t is at
the fashionable resorts like Newport
Southampton, Bar Harbor and the like
that one sees these pretty silken coats.
| and though the lines are simple and
such wraps often cost a tidy sum.
Pongee. lined with dotted fouiard, is
most often used for such dressy models,
and frequently there is a hood at the
back showing the bright colored silk of
the coat lining; this gay color also ap-
pearing in revers. turned-back cuffs and
collar facing. Oriental embroideries and
the extremely popular Persian silks are
also used for trimming these coats; and
such a model is shown in one of the IL
Illustrations, a square collar Of embroid-
cred silk being placed below a narrow
| shawl collar OF chantecler red satin. The
coat in this instance is heavy white tus-
sab. the embroidered collar-and cuffs
red and black embroideries enlivened
with white.
An imported motor coat, part of a
spring trousseau, is of rajah silk in a
deep burnt straw color-a most fash
ionable shade. by the way, just now for
motoring and coaching. This coat is
built in loose box style and down the
fronts on each side go bands of chante-
cler red satin. Turned-back collar and
cuffs of the rajah are richly embroidered
In deep blue. red and black, and a little
turnover collar of black satin and two
big black buttons gave snap and en-
phasis to the coors used in trimming
and embroidery.
Natural pongee coats lined with SAKE
blue or with chantecler red are ex-
tremely chic, and when the fair wearer
throws off her wrap indoors or a
piazza she sees to it that the color of
the lining, draped over her chair back,
makes telling background for her white
frock.
While English mohair Is not a new
friend to the motorist, 1t is an old and
fast one and one that may be relied
upon. Poplin also Is ideal for summer
motoring. and there are new smoke and
steel gray models In mohafr and poplin
fabrics that are exceedingly good style.
Such coats, of course, partake of the
nature of busters and are very simple in
cut. with fronts that fasten snugly up
to the throat and loose lines that insure
an easy fit across the shoulders.
The waterproofed silk coats are liked
by many women because of their attract
i've colorings. and some Of the new striped
patterns are very pleasing. These coats
come also in bold checks and plaids in
which the omnipresent chantecler red Is
a striking feature. One silk coat just
brought out by 5th avenue dealer has
checked pattern with checks six inches
across, the blue and green checks on q
black ground being set off by hairlines
Of chantecler red. Red pipings and collar
and cuff facings of the same brilliant
color make this coat rather gay affair.
according to the sober taste of many
motorists, but many women like these
conspicuous effects and such coats are
always present at every large gathering
of motor folk.

Very handsome rubberized silk coats
come in silvery gray with hairlines of
white or blue, and the buttons on these
coats are Of polished silver a little larger
than a five-cent piece. On these buttons
miladi has her monogram engraved in

brown-striped rubberized satin. Collar
and cuffs are of tan leather and there are
large metal buttons initiating copper in

Linen coats are always delightful when
| one Is so situated that a laundress Is &C.
cessible-and the frequent laundry ex-
| pense is not feature to be considered
| Coats of natural linen with hairlines OF
black or color and satin collar and cuffs
| to match the hairlines are neat and at
tractive in appearance, and there are
light-coIored linen coats which, when
matched by a bonnet and veil in the
same color, are exquisitely pretty. But
| the smartest thought in linen motor coats
Just now is pure white, as has been pre-
viously stated, and one of these white
linen coats-a new model for this sum-
mer-is pictured. This coat has a skirt
portion set in rounded panels on a semi
fitted upper part, the fastening being al
the left side of the front. The tab cuffs
are a new notion and also the tab collar
| which may be fastened snugly around the
I throat or buttoned back in the manner

coat Is the heavy stitching and the
fat gilt buttons. on which are engraved
