coats
Some OF these coats are fashioned with

dren Of well dressed women are wearing
both dresses and coats. of this type The
coats are, perhaps, moro practical than
The dresses, with the exception OF the
sheer muslin frocks for parties. There
are very jaunty coats OF a dark colored
serge and broadcloth made with the long
skirt effect and the high waist line which
may. or may not, be marked BY n leather
belt. The capes are even more pictu-
rescue than the deep collars. One very
affective garment was developed in rich
tobacco brown broadcloth with two
coschnan capes, the long skirt portion
OF the coat being Joined by seam 70 the
upper portion. The sleeves were set into
The normal arm hole and were finished
with faring cuffs in keeping with the
whole IDEA of the costume. 1t is cut
lending distinction TO a perfectly plain
material which may boast OF no other
trimming bu; the large fancy buttons.
Another short WASTED coat in blue

by the collar cuffs and belt Of silk with
slight touches OF the wool embroidery.
The patent leather belt could be easily
substituted and the collar and cuffs
might quite as successfully be OF red
satin or bengaNne.

long wasted coat. The illustration shows

being adapted for these coats and also
for the mackinaus \ child delight. in
having lots Of pockets. and the nlacki-
naws with two, and even four, pockets
are their fsvorites. This generous amount
Of pockets is also given to the young
boys. as is demonstrated in this illustra-
ton.
