The double-faced material has en-
joyed such pronounced favor that the
fabric mills have found it impossible
to keep up with the enormous demand,
and coat-makers and merchants have
had to wait overtime for their orders
to be filed. The reason for the popu-
larity Of the reversible, as we'll as the
same kind of soft, pliable goods in a
single tone. is not far TO seek. They
are fashionable and they are adaptable
to many uses. Self trimmed. or COM
bined with an acceptable trimming ia
brio. they make the coat for all occa-
sions sought by the average woman.
A chic example Of such coat is
shown above. II is made OF a light
gray material which is both soft and
warm. and finished with collar and
cuffs of an exceedingly handsome vel

Although preserving in a general way
the accepted silhouette OF the coat in
tended for carriage wear. tho lines are
less voluminous. the sleeves are less
enormous, and the whole effect, while
still picturesque. is trim and iaunty.
The front closing of this coat is q
notable feature. Although opening far
down over the figure, It does not give
that appearance on account Of the
wide collar which laps well over the
bust IL is only slightly double-breast-
cd at the waistlne where the topmost

slopes from there In a graceful side
line which completely obviates any
severity which mic BE given by q
perpendicular closing. The white fox
fur muff carried with this coat Is a
favorite with young girls this winter.
The most fascinating buttons are
seen on all the new dresses and coats.
and form the sole garniture on many
of the more simply tailored dresses.
Some Of the very large ones run up
into the prices, and many handsome
ones are seen which cost $3.50 or $500
apiece. Naturally, only two, or at the
most three. OF these expensive orna-
ments are needed on a garment, and
they are really not expensive when We
reflect that they take the place OF
other trimming. which frequently
costs quite bit more. Only, we old

beauty and utility.
Among the many beautiful features

more than a passing whim, is the
scarf. which still retains its hold on

offerings for spring are seen man,
wonderful gauzy affairs in gail,

silver embroidered lace. For a lighl

unlimited possibilities. Dainty little
