ways carry in the tonneau big, warm
coats of tweed or ratine, which are
donned after sunset for the homeward
ride.
White blanket coats are very fash
ionable this year and these coats are
made in mannish fashion. like a mans
overcoat, or they may be built in
the comfortable polo style, with
straight lines belted in under very
wide belt of the material. A warm
yellow brown shade, between mustard
and khaki, Is also immensely chic. A
coat in this shade, built of soft French
ratine, is pictured. 1t will be noted
that the lines of this coat are very
straight and give a slender effect to
the figure, though the coat is big.
roomy and warm. The enormous
patch pockets and white pearl but
tons give that touch Of sportiness
which makes the motor garment
smart.
Most of the new motor coats have
collars and revers which may be
turned back, as shown in the model
pictured, or buttoned snugly up
around neck and chest when desired.
Coats made of double-faced material
and many of these are shown now
have the reverse of the material on
collar and rever facings, the plaided
stuff showing also in pocket flaps and
other details. Do not make the mis-
take, when buying a motor coat, of
selecting a utility coat, attractive be-
cause of its graceful cut and deep
shawl collar with the opening low
at the side. Such a coat may be
charming for summer travelling wear.
but it will not be satisfactory for mo-
! toring, when comfort and protection
from the wind are the chief consid-
erations. The deep front opening and
shawl revers will not sufficiently pro-
tect the chest and throat from keen
breezes and the graceful lines will
not prove as comfortable as a loose,
roomy model in which one can nestle
about in the leather upholstered ton
neau.
Never make the mistake of buying
a smooth surfaced material for auto
mobile wear for the constant rubbing
against the leather seat and back
will soon produce a glossy shine
Many motor car hostesses keep light
mohair or silk coats which the guest
may slip over a utility coat or two

Knitted Garments Worn In the Coun-
! try Only.
There is an informality about the
knitted motor coat, no matter what
town use; but these garments are
ideal for country motoring. and in the
mountains there are many days even
! in midsummer when even a knitted
hood is comfortable. There is moth
ing clumsy about the new knitted
coats. They are beautifully shaped
to give graceful lines without cling
ing too closely to the figure curves
and the colors are deIectable. A cool
bottle green and a warm wood brown
are the favorite shades. Knitted red
worsted motor garments are not seen
and even blues are not favored; but
as has been said the greens and
browns are charming. An illustration
shows the latest idea in a knitted mo-
tor coat, designed for country wear
or for general wear under thin pom
gee or mohair motor coat.
This knitted coat is in a wood brown
color and buttons snugly up around
the throat, though the collar may be
thrown back when desired. With the
coat goes a wood brown knitted caI

u 3 h tor car, whether it be prac-
teal touring car with an open ton
neau, an elegant limousine for town
use during the social season, or one
of the dainty coupes or broughams
which one drives from inside. and
which are ideal for woman's use.
One of the most unique contrivances
in the line of motoring conven1ences
is the limousine washstand, intended
for use on long drives when one de-
sires to freshen up a bit, far from an
inn. This handy continuance folds up
against the dashboard of the car and
no one would suspect that it is
washstand until the small tabletop
is let down and the legs unfolded.
Then one sees a perfect little dress
ing table with wash basin, two stop
pered bottles filed with water, soap,
towels, hand brush and file, hair
brushes and other toilet articles.
Limousines for town use are most
luxuriously furnished with all sorts
of small toilet needs. Powder, rouge,
lip sticks, eyebrow pencils, cut glass
extract bottles, atomizers, curling tongs
and manicure implements are htted
into little receptacles provided for
the-,. There are also IheHlordHouHi

cts and belt were buttoned to the coat.
Another pretty linen model was of
heavy, supple white linen crash cut
on straight, narrow lines, but exceed
ingly roomy across the shoulders.
There was an enormous square sailor
collar and beneath this fell still
larger sailor collar OF pale yellow lin

white linen with under cuffs of yell
low linen. The buttons on this coat
were of heavy white crochet.
More dreSsy than the linen coats
are satin and pongee coats, cut also
on the prevailing narrow lines and
having large collars and the deep
shawl revers that are SO fashionable
now. Sometimes collar and revers
on a tan pongee coat are of black
satin in very smart effect. Collars
and revers on the well-made motor
coats are always arranged so that they
may be turned up and buttoned se-
cureIy at the neck. Without this
manner of adjustment a motor coat
is useless. A handsome pongee coat

avery type of dress has its dis
IL tinctive character, and unless 1t
meets the requirements of this
~ character, it is neither correct
nor attractive. The wedding gown
must have stateliness and dignity; the
dancing frock charm and gaiety, the
carriage and reception costume ele-
gance, the morning gown simplicity,
and SO on. Sturdiness-anda suggeS-
ton of sportiness characterizes motor
garb-or should characterize it; and
If it possesses the sturdiness without
the bit of sportiness, 1t is apt to be
dreary and uninteresting.
Homemade motor raiment is be-
yond the ability of the home dress
maker. Even the progressive pattern
suppliers by whose aid almost every
thing may be fashioned by laying per-
forations on lengthwise fold and
mating notches that seem to CORE
spond, do not give a great deal of
encouragement to the woman who be-
lieves she can make anything on her
own sewing machine. Clever cut and
faultleSs tailoring must distinguish the
motor coat or it is a miserable fail
ure and very good looking coats, luck
lily, are to be obtained ready made al
moderate prices-garments far more
smart and knowing looking than
anybody could turn out at home, no
matter how handsome the material
used or how religiously the lengthwise
folds, perforations and notches were
followed.
Styles Change Little In Motor Coats
The woman who is canny does not
rush out to buy her motor apparel
at the beginning of a season. She
keeps her eyes open, reads shop ad-
vertisements-and waits. A good
looking coat purchased late in the sea-
son at a much reduced price is sure
to be in perfectly good style at the
beginning of the next season, for the
lines and general appearance of such
coats vary little, though, of course
little trimming details are always be-
ing changed. Wonderful bargains are
offered when a season is well ad

and September, while smart models
in tweed and homespun are Offered
at ridiculous prices in December anC

BOY. TOYING WITH RIFLE,
KILLS HIS YOUNG CHUM.
Ten-year-old Boy Sent Bullet
Into Friends Head.

NEW BRUNSWICK, June 26.-Fool-
ing with a rifle in a shooting gallery,
young Thomas Hannah put a bullet
in the head of his friend, Louis Ten
aroff. Tenaroff died in st. Peters Hos
pital here last night.
Hannah is 10 years old, so was Louis,
who lived on Dennis street, New
Brunswick. Louis went to Riverside
Park, a very diminutive Coney Island,
three miles out of New Brunswick, and
watched the marksmen in a shooting
gallery kept by a Syrian. Business was
good and the proprietor, finding he was
running out of cartridges. went to New
Brunswick for, ammunition, leaving
Louis in charge.
Young Hannah, of Easton avenue,
New Brunswick, happened along, and
Louis, proud of his temporary place,
let him handle the rifles that lay on
the counter. Hannah glanced along
the sights of two or three and pulled
triggers harmlessly. But the next gun
he picked up was loaded, and when
he touched the trigger the bullet
pierced Tenaroff's brain.
e. H. Ruydel picked up the neon
scious boy and hurried him in his auto
mobile to the hospital. Young Hannah,
who was almost overcome by his
friends death, was not arrested. Public
Prosecutor Booraem said last night
he was convinced the shooting was sac-
cidental, but he knew where to find
Hannah.
