IN THE WORLD OF DRESS
By MAuDE GRIFFIN.

New York, July 29.-The woman
who is scrupulously careful OF her
wardrobe must look well to the length,
shape and details of the little summer
coat This little outer garment has
developed into an article OF such SUI
preme Importance that 1t is absolutely
essential to the completeness oil
wardrobe.
IL Is never better than when fash-
toned in the handsome eyelet en-
broideries and to give the mid-seasoh
coats variety the French and LONDON
are adding new touches
that are worthy of consideration. New
York has become such an important
factor in the world of dress that it can
afford to discard what pleases 1t not
in the productions of foreign creation
but New York, too, elects TO essay the
novelties of the midsummer wrap
from across the pond"
Splendid looking is a model In eye
let embroidery that reaches just De-
low the hips. Rather heavy linen, Dut
of fine weave, is used for the coat,
the bottom of which is faced with a
band OF heavy but lustrous fnished
silk. which, in turn, is piped with a
very narrow black cord. Appliques oil
eyelet embroidered linen are added 10
enhance the effectiveness OF this iac'
ing and the sleeves and front OF the
coat are trimmed with border OF
eyelet embroidered wheels, sewed 10
pether. and plped with black stitched
on with gold threads.
These coats look very good over
lingerie frocks or dresses OF SILK OF
satin. They are, in fact, splendid
finish to gowns of any OF the smart
fabrics of the season. For carly rail-
they will be reproduced in pongee and
surak silk and provided with founda
lions of silk or satin, but in their uh
lined state they form handsome ad
dition to a summer frock Since there
lie absolutely no warmth to the coats
u "a an easy matter to wear them al
any hour OF the afternoon as well al
evening.
Coat lengths promise to be burn
i ing topic in the merry war OF cnans
ling fashions for autumn, but the great
est interest will center in the Degin
ming of the battle about skirts an'
sleeves. The general opinion seems Z

As a matter of fact the sleeve an
