 Coats a Novelty.

If any one were to ask just what considered the really great novelty of the early summer forecast. don't be- .ieve could state any one thing def initely.
 There are lots of fads and fancies that look new through new treatment. But they are not really new.
 The pannier is heralded wildly from Paris. where a season ago the hobble was the cry. It is no more like the old time pannier seen in our old pho tograph albums than the present coif- fure resembles the old waterfall. Yet there is enough of resemblance to pre- vent me from calling the pannier gown the real novelty of the season.
 Treated as it now is. it takes on a dropping curtain-liko effect that ex- tends to the knees or below.
 There it is caught by rosette, or . bunch of roses if the gown happens
 It used to extend only below the hips. giving the puffed cut look which the French politely call bouffante. It was not as graceful. even thus pret- tily named. as the treatment of to- day.
 The 0aby Desiys hat was for while the very newest of new things. But this little semi-turban. with it's maline wings, could be made by handy woman at home for fifty cents or lees, naturally it's vogue among really smart dressers was decidedly
 I think perhaps might call the new satin coats about the most novel of all dress items
 We have for many seasons seen pom gee and ta4neta coats. but satin has not been particularly fvored.
 To my mind this fabric is unres- ponsive and trying. Therefore 1t re- quires &he most slEillful handling to put into IL any hnes of grace or come 1inem.
 A tieht-nttins black satin garment is about as ugly . creation as ever crept into the reaam of woman's apparel. When this was supplemented by jet trimmings. hideousness could no fur
 Nov the shades are delicate, almost all the coats and wraps being in pas tel tipts. They are made in loose art1sfic style that quite redeems the natural stinneas of the fabric.
