On the one hand. they are very simple,
fashioned Of taffeta or charmeuse that
consists Of one long piece draped and
caught together 70 form sleeves, and on
the other hand, they are sumptuously
ornate, voluminous and often over
trimmed The panier idea. that is in
something Of a tentative condition 50 far

entered the realm OF the coat and many
Of the models designed for the mature
contingent are made Of brocaded silk with
draperies Of the panier sort that arc re-
markable beyond a doubt but scarcely
beautiful. Often the richest, handsomest
laccs are used in these combinations and
the materials unquestionably are splendid
but the draperies are not graceful. They
tend rather 10 distort the figure and il
is doubtful II they will succeed to any great
extent.
For whatever hour Of the day for what
ever occasion the costume is planned
coats make a very important feature
These long ones in panier style are some
what extreme but there are many beau
tiful models that serve the same purpose
and that are graceful and charming in the
extreme. The short coatee already men
toned allows almost numberless oppor-
tunities for fascinating effects and even
coats designed for motoring, golf and
outing occasions give evidence OF the
general trend. Lovers Of golf and Of
tennis seem TO ind coats essential TO the
complete costume. Very new ones are
made very much after the manner Of the
coat sweater but Of open work, loosely
woven woolen material that somewhat re.
sembles coarse grenadine. They are
finished with big square sailor collars and

accompanying hat was Of white straw with
trimming of old blue and pink roses and
the parasol was Of charmeuse like the
coat, for parasols TO match the costume
make the very latest cry Of fashion and
are very generally used. The new dome
shaped sorts are finding favor and arc
seen in generous numbers and there is
very new Partisan fancy for removable
covers orocheted from heavy silk. These
covers are made in rather simple stitch
and are the prettiest in color over white.
Clever women will recognize how one
foundation can be utilized for covers Of
different colors and when there IS de-
mand for a parasol with each costume,
such details are Of especial interest. With
the all white gown, white shoes and white
stockings are the only smart ones but
when there is a dark line at the foot Of
the skirt. as in the instance mentioned,
black patent leather in Colonial style with
big silver buckles make the best effect.
The little coates in themselves make
a very interesting subject Of study. The
charmeuse mentioned is lovely but there
arc some fascinating effects obtained from
brocaded and lowered taffetas while the
plain silks in light colors are very charming
for garden parties and occasions OF the
kind
One Of the smartest coats of the pract deal
sort vet seen Is Of black brooaded with
tiny little rosebuds. 1t is open at the front
70 the waist line and the peplum starts at
nothing at the front and forms a deep
point at the back where it is open ar the
center. There are sleeves Just a little
below the elbows finished with wide
haring cuffs and on all the edges, there are
narrow little frills Of the silk. The coat Is
a delight over a white gown yet It can be
utilized over black or any color with which
the colors Of the design harmonic. II
would be charming over rose or over pale
green, and the coat that can be utilized
in so many ways IS practical beyond a
doubt. Wraps Of some kind We must
