MANNISH MOTOR
COAT FOR SPRING

The newest thing in motor coat for
spring wear is a decidedly mannish-loOk-
ing affair Indeed. it is cut on exactly the
same lines as a mans coat.
There is no seam in the back and the
double breasted fronts are loose and ann
pic
The material is thick but not heavy
serge in grav plaid. the design exactly
the same on both sides
There is no attempt at trimming what
ever. The body of the coat is lined with
gray silk and plain smoked pearl buttons
are the only ornament.
Tho sleeves are mannish looking and
the pockets ample. This model is expect
ed TO become quite the vogue as mlldcr
weather advances, though for those wom-
en- who are loyal to the belted polo coat
for motoring there are several new mod
els. The latest. however. arc self-trimmed
instead of the contrasting plaid or stripe
as formerly.

TWO LADIES WEAR
ORDER OF LOUISE

Alone OF English ladies, Queen Mary
and the Duchess OF Argyll, are privileged
TO wear the order of Louise. which the
German Kaiser bestowed on them three
years ago. The cross. with its simple
L." surmOunted by the Prussian crown
has always been greatly prized-as In
the fitness OF things it has been felt
that it could scarcely be worn by ladies
whose discretion has ever publicly failed
them.
The order was founded in 1874. in mem
ory of the lovely Queen Louise. whose
courage and patriotism was only equaled
by her gentleness and seIf-Sacritice.
One of the deepest stains on Napoleon $
fame was his treatment of this angel
women" Her early death. owing greatly
10 his ruthless cruelty, only lifted her
higher in the peoples love. She was the
mother OF the Emperor William !, and
consequently great-grandmother of the
present Kaiser.
