Latest American Fashions
By CORA MOORE.

With the continued vogue Of the one
piece dress the separate coat remains a
necessity. There are a few points of
difference to be noted between those of
last year and the ones that are now
being shown for spring. chief of which
Is that the new ones are a little more
shapely and not so long by three or
four inches.
The sketch depicts a motor coat of
leather-colored taffeta that. also, is not
unsuitable for street wear. The round
collar is Of the same taffeta, but the
cuffs and the long lapel, together with
the band that finishes the other side,
are all of satin bearing on the same
leather" tone, but Of deeper shade. The
lapel is furnished with loops along the
edge with which 1t may be fastened over
in donble-breasted style.
In the way Of motor coats there are
several novelties that should appeal
q new English raglan Of leather, green,
brown. red or black, with roomy sleeves
that are gathered at the wrists into
cuffs. that, in case of wind or storm,
pocket is hood OF thin rubber that
may be attached to the inside Of the
collar, to be drawn up over the hat and
secured about the neck. This is one Of
the most practical or the many models
in motor garments that have yet. been
placed upon the market.
There is the customary influx Of nov
elites noted in the realm of motor head
gear. Possibly few Of them are ridicu-
lous. but many of them. to say the least,
seem unnecessary In these days, when
the convential hat itself is very well
suited to motor wear.
A number of notifications Of the
Mimi hat are rather appealing, espe-
cially those that are Of glaze, with rolled
brims of fine straw, and there are some
hood shapes that are among the few
really happy compromises between hat
and bonnet.
One OF these comes in a leghorn with
a taffeta crown and a string Of small
roses just where the brim and crown
meet.
Entirely new Is the "chef'' hat. that
is designed primarily for motor wear.
1t has two brims, one curved to frame
the face and the other a circular band
Of straw fastened down to it with the

THE DAILY cHIT-CHAT.

There are several kinds Of heritages
Some people inherit money. Other people.
whose ancestors have not bequeathed
them any great amount OF money, still
take, vast pride in valuable heirlooms,
such as old furniture or quaint jewelry.
Yet others who have received neither
money nor heirlooms, consider some well
known name as a desirable heritage.

shampoo lady. He invented the iron
hub that you see on all the wheels. You
know it is used all over the world now
adays, but in the old times there were
only wooden hubs and it was my grand
father who invented the iron hub"
And didn't he patent it?" we asked.

lady. DO you think I'd be doing heads

SART0RIAL HINTS.

The new blouse made with quite long
BASQUE effect is q good model for the
schoolgirl Of average figure to adopt. In
fact, every type, excepting. say. the very
short or very plump, will find 1t becom-

were.
The undeveloped figure always shows a
lack OF symmetry abou, the hips. They

be termed a charity.

Scarfs and wraps, short coats and the

markedly the influence Of the fur TRIM

wearing q necklet of fur close against
