At Trouville this summer the younger
women wore delectable coats of pure
white blanket material at the morning
polo games, and these coats were seen
later at Newport over tennis costume at
the Casino. Now the pretty white coats
are being worn at Tuxedo, Lenox and
other country communities where out-of-
town sports continue to be the fad: and
many girls are ordering these stunning
coats for later wear at Adirondack camps
when the snow flies and skating, skiing
and coasting are the sports.
The white blanket coat is In belted style,
with loose, raglan shoulders and wide,
turned-up cuffs and big collar that may
be showed up around the ears when the
air is chill. The buttons may be of white
pearl or of dull gilt or Of steel. and the
lining is white, like the coat, or brilliant
scarlet.

Sometimes two rugs are purchased, one
going to the tailors to be made into a
coat and the other being strapped up
with the pillows, magazines and other
belongings which will make the deck
chair pleasant.
Two typical steamer rug coats are pic
tured, and either of these garments might
be used for motor as well as steamer

ART of the autumn outfit Is a
crisp new handbag, which will
be in keeping with new gloves
neckwear and other accessories
which accompany the smart au-
tumn suit and hat. That many women
do not realize the importance of fresh
ness and good style in handbag or pocket
book is evidenced by the shabby leather
belongings which too often detract seri-
ously from the trimness and smartness

and the thick fringe of the rug is left

The full-length coat will be an elabor-
ate necessity-no matter what the Paris
ian authorities may say about abbre-
waited jackets-because of the numerous
little afternoon frocks which every wom-
an now possesses. These pretty frocks
of light wool stuff rarely look we'll with
short coat built to accompany tailored
suit They must be completely covered,
for the street, by means Of long coat.
and this coat must be Of such a charac-
ter that it may be worn in the street in
fair weather, and not suggest either Q

terra firma. Hence the long, graceful
utility coat is an imperative need with
the winter toilet and IL Is safe to say
that it will be as established a feature OF
this seasons wardrobe as any other sort
of out-of-door garment.
Over the little afternoon tea frocks,
which are worn to the matinee or to
bridge gatherings, and then appear at the
tea hour at the fashionable restaurants,
are worn most graceful long coats of fur,
Of the new ratine wool material, of serge
or tweed in mannish style, with gay
Persian or bright-colored satin Innings or
of velvet, this being the material de
luxe for the long coat for afternoon wear.
Some of the velvet coats are trimmed with
fur; others have braid or appliqued silk
trimming. A coat of the latter type suit
able for wear over matinee calling or
bridge gowns is illustrated. This hand
some coat is Of black velvet with a silk
border trimming showing rich embroid-
cries in conventional design. Two large
silk frogs fasten the coat at the waist
line. The hat is a smart model with an
exaggerated brim of velvet and a white
plume at one side, the brim caught back
with a dull silver ornament.
