GOWN UNDE RNEATH.
essential of the new fashionable
coat Is that IL must display the gown
underneath at som point. hence the
popularity Of the three.fourths length
anl the cutaway effects.
While the ti.ree-fourths length coats
will be very fashionable. the short tat
fsta jackets wNl md great favor with
The coming Of the warm weather. The
c~hangeable chiffon taffeta IL now
largely used for coats. and these are
generally Of a dressy character. So
these Jackets are trimmed with ruches,
yufings. bouillones. fancy cordinss> and
lingerie hce collars.

the hip line. Others have long coat tail
effects. Some are cut In boiero lines.
and many extend only to the wais.iine.
They have short sleeves and will be
worn over lingerie frocks. These nov.
city jackts are also made of the new
Turkish towelilng. and when trimmed
with the ratine cut-out embroidery are
very jaunty.
The lace coat will no doubt be a fea-
ture in the summer wardrobe. These

anee that they cannot fail to become
popular.
Many handsome models In three-uuar-
ter lengths are now being sho wn in the
shops, and every variety OF lace Is being
used. They are usually made up In the
narrow. straight lines. n whether Of
black, white or ecru, they are very
pretty over a white or c0lored gown.
white linen coats deliberately braided,
embroidered or trimmed with lace will
also be much worn. So strong wnl be
she voGue for outer garments that many
Of the summer dresses have ttached
louG pepiums that give the GOA effect.
and many Of the new shirtwaists show
postiiiion backs or some modification Of
the peplum.
