is found in the boxes and all the blues
and pinks are there. until the whole
effect is one OF beautiful color and just
the brightness that belongs to occasions
Of the kind.
Jewels always are worn in profusiou
during the opera season but certain
novelty is found in their application to
the fashionable head-dresses. The oriental
idea is apparent in this last feature OF
dress and great many close bands and
little cap-like arrangements are being
worn while, to these, there may or may
not be added an outstanding aigrette.
Jewelled bands and jeweled ornaments
greet one at every turn and the fash of
diamonds from dark hair often gives a
brilliant effect while rare gems were
treated in numberless new and interesting
ways on the opening night. Mrs. Gould 8
costume of black and silver broCade was
completed by great emerald suspended
over her forehead by a narrow band of
silver and the Eastern idea of the gems
hung over the forehead is to be noted
with costumes of various sorts APP
parently, emeralds are to be extensively
worn, for strings of those lovely gems
have been seen as necklaces and corsage
ornaments while emeralds with pearls
frequently have been seen and emeralds
with diamonds are always at their best.
The opera would not be the opera without
such gorgeous displays and beautiful
gems Of all kinds are sure to appear but
the profusion Of emeralds seems especially
worthy Of notice. Pearls we have always
with US, diamonds always are seen, but
the stones Of deeper color are apt to be
more or less under the influence of FASH
ions decree.
Brocaded silks and brocaded velvets
are simply gorgeously beautiful this Tea
son and, as matter OF course, are at their
best in opera toilettes. A wonderful
creation, met in the foyer, is of blue
with design Of rather big crysanthemum-
like flowers in gold, the leaves giving the
effect Of delicate white lace. The rich and
beautiful silk took the loveliest possible
folds but was soft in spite of the gold
threads and was draped about the figure
with truly artistic grace. 1t formed a
long. pointed train and extended I'D on
the bodice In deep point but gave the
effect Of having been draped upon the
wearer rather than Of having been cut
into gown. Above the wide eindle,
there was an, ornament of beads, pearl
and gold and coral, that gave a sufnptuous
effect, while the little chemisette and
short sleeves were Of the hlmiest possible
lace

THE FASHIONABLE LONG COAT.

THE present is a season of coats
Full length, three-quarter length
and seven-eighths length all are
worn and the separate coat over the
gown is to be noted wherever well
dressed women are met. For general
utility wear, the half fitted coat is liked
but a great many loose ones are being
worn for afternoon visits and occasions
Of the kind as well as during the evening
hours and for motoring. Cloakings in
clude a very interesting variety of wool
fabrics and also velvet, in plain and
fancy weaves, brocaded materials and
heavy silks; and collars are made OF fur,
velvet, silk, contrasting wool, and, in
fact, almost every material that makes
good effect.
The illustration shows the prevailing
styles. What is known as the English
top coat is placed at the extreme left
and Is one of the most useful and salts
factory garments that woman can
own. The collar can be rolled down and
turned back to reveal pretty chemi-
settle when the day is mild and, when the
d'winds blow and Jack Frost is about,
it can be buttoned up closely at the
throat to give the long straight lines
that are exceedingly smart and generally
becoming. Such coat is desirable for
general morning wear, for travelling, fors
motoring and for all occasions Of the
kind and can be made from any rough
material to be extremely smart Chin
chilla is being much worn and there
are various cheFiots that are both prac-
teal and smart. Nut brown is favorite
color and such coat made OF nut brown
rough cloth lined with amber satin and
held by tigers eye buttons is exceed
inpiy smart in useful way. GETAWAY
fronts are fashionable and they are
ant to be becoming but straight ones
are equally correct and the wise woman
will chose whichever shape is more
becoming, for good dressing consists
of adapting the fashions to ones own
needs. and there are figures upon which
the straight lines are better than any
others. The coat that IS LAID IN straight
plaits IS, an extremely handsome one and
much liked for broadcloth, velvet, silk
and all materials Of similar weight.
Bic. deep collars are being much worn
and the coat of broadcloth with collar
and cuffs of ribbed silk or Of velvet IS
available for many needs. 1t can be
worn for shopping and occasions of the
kind, vet it is handsome enough for
afternoon wear. II something still
handsomer is wanted, fur can be used
in place Of the velvet and mole skin
upon broadcloth in the same color
makes an exceedingly good effect. French

gowns. Women who own their own
motors are sure to find such coats neces-
sary and just now the moderately wide
sleeves that are joined to the coat at
the long shoulder line are extremely
smart as well as practical for they give
the wide armhoIes that effectually
prevent the rumpling Of the gown and
they allow of cutting without the piecing
that so often is necessary in the kimono
model. Velvet with trimming of fur is
the combination shown in the picture
and an extremely handsome as well as

fur of every possible kind is fashionable.

easy to produce such effects. Suiting

varied than ever has been the case
before. The heavy ones are apt to be

Fur trimming is conspicuous feature
Of the season and fur landings as finish
for collars and cuffs are extremely smart
and extremely handsome. Girls who do
not like to bind up the throat will be
sure to like these, for very handsome
effects can be obtained by making the
collar Of velvet, wool velours, ratine or
some similar material edged. with fur
and carrying muff either OF fur or the
material fur-trimmed.. Shawl collars are
liked for such treatment and seem to

SMART COATS IN WINTER
STYLES.

THE suit coats Of the winter are
essentially jaunty in effect for
they are comparatively short
and they have just that youthful air
that makes them so desirable for the

younger contingent. Both straight and
cutaway fronts are in vogue and there
is, consequently, much Opportunity to
choose what is becoming. There are
great many belted effects to be seen, too,
and the variety Of collars seems to know
no limit.
The Washington herald., 1912-11-24

finished with stitched edges but there
is tendency toward binding with braid
that should not be overlooked, for it
means an exceedingly handsome feature
as well as a handsome one and it is
somewhat important feature of prevailing
styles. Goats treated in this way
usually are made Of one material through
out and the braid affords pretty con-
trast. 1t IS difficult to lay down any

rhany different ways. Collar and cuffs

this one can be made from a simpler,
more. sturdy material quite as well as
from handsome one. The smattness is
the result of cut and line; the fabric
must be chosen to suit the special need.
