palest Of pinks must be selected and
the material Of the dressing gown

makes q warm and pretty tnvalid's

pleated chiffon and cream lace. Plenty
of lace should fall at sleeve edges and

may be donned without STOPPING and
slipped of readily as we'll. An invalid
rarely needs to do more than cross
the carpet from chair to lounge and
slippers of this sort into which the
toe may be slipped are all that is need
ed. Cover a pair Of the felt lined
slipper soles that come for knitted
worsted room slippers with plain satin
in some delicate shade. sewing the
satin firmly to the edge Of the. sole
with tiny, even stitches. The toe por-
ton Is made of printed Dresden ribbon
and a little experimenting with an old
piece Of muslin will yield q satisfac-
tory pattern for this toe portion. The
lowered silk Is lined with plain silk
matching the sole and thin layer
Of cotton is laid between. the edges
being buttonholed together with silk
floss. At the edge the silk is turned
back to show the lining-a very orna-
mental feature Of the slipper.
Warm little bed jackets of French
flannel or of cashmere are appreciated
by the invalid who breakfasts in bed.
Such jackets are made without sleeves,
tho material being folded and cut in
the peasant" style familiar in blouses
of the past two seasons. and instead of
being sewed up under the arms the
material IL scalloped and caught to-
gether in one or two places with rib
bon bows.
A most acceptable gift for tho aver
age invalid IL a couture cap which
may be drawn over the hair when WIS.,
itors are expected, for after a severe
illness the hair IL usually in a sadly
condition, yet nothing can
be done with 1t until the convalescent
has recovered strength enough to 60

The couture cap may be made OF

threads and broadcloth in light vio-

material. The photograph shows how
the violet broadcloth is used in TRIM
ming effect. the long rever continuing
to the very foot Of the coat in most
graceful manner. This coat fastens far
to one side with q single button OF
dull gray bone. Similar buttons are
placed at the back Of the waistline.
The sleeves Of this coat are set into
the garment in raglan manner, and
not few of the topcoats for fall show
this style Of sleeve. though there
seems a tendency to get away from
eccentric sleeves Of both raglan and
peasant" type and to adopt the ordi-
nary sleeve set into the armhole. All
coat sleeves Of this type. however.
are kept very fiat at the top and are
entirely without gathers. the line of
the shoulder and arm being empha-
sized as in sleeves Of the raglan and
peasant" sort.
Some of the Big Coats Rich in Color.
Most Of the reversible coat materials
are two tone in effect. That Is. the
outer side is Of soft. neutral color
combining gray or brown with threads
Of blue red or green: the reverse side
showing a plain shade of the color
used in combination. Some Of these
colorings are exceedingly rich and
beautiful. Gray and purple. gray and
Delft blue. steel gray and green.
leather color and brown are favorite
combinations. and there are neutral
grays with darker gray tones on the
reverse side which are favored by
some women who like smart but quiet
and conservative effects. Some Of the
reversible cloths have backs in striped
or checked patterns and coats Of these
materials, made up in Informal, ulster
style, are much fancied for motor and
country wear. A coat Of this type is
pictured, the material being snufi
brown blanket cloth with a reverse OF
slightly lighter brown with crimson
stripes. The lines of this coat are
excellent. and Of course the big collar
may be turned up around the throat
when desired. The pockets on this
coat are enormous-really exaggerated
In size - but this very exaggeration
makes them undeniably smart. One

tie attentions and remem-

as much appreciated by the invalid
as anxious inquiries during the period
Of severe illness. There are many

J.. carriage over handsome afternoon

o. carriage over handsome afternoon
costumes in which one drives out to
the Pre- Catalan or other country res
taurants for dinner. These coats have
a more dressy and formal air than the
rough and ready topcoat of blanket
or reversible material. A beautiful
coat of this character was worn by
q woman who came in to the Ritz for
tea the other afternoon. It was built
Of dark green broadcloth Of the silk
lest, most supple quality-a broad
cloth that must have cost q pretty
penny-or should one say centime p
the yard and which draped in most
graceful, clinging lines about the fig
ure. The coat was loose In cut. but
suggested q draped effect, and the
wearer's silhouette was very narrow
and slim as she stood drawing off her
gloves before tea. There were cuffs
at least ten inches deep and a hood
collar Of black satin, the hood being
lined with bright crimson silk. which
gave tremendous dash to the graceful
dark coat. The lining was Of white
satin and when the coat was removed
"a pretty little frock Of reseda green
cloth half yelled with black chiffon
embroidered with white beads was re-
vealed.
An attractive French coat of laven-
der serge is pictured today. Strap
pings Of broadcloth in the same color
and big buttons of white bone make
this lavender coat very dainty and
charming. The lines are semi-fittfng
at the back and the broad cape collar
to which are buttoned the wide revers
is especially graceful.

Many and clever are the ways in

his objection.
