paper" velvet. which has a pattern
stamped lightly upon it. but not en-
bossed, so that it suggests a fat wall
paper design and which is also worn
with a cloth skirt.
Mole is. curiously enough, once
again the popular color. One sees
quantities of mole suits. just as one
did five years ago. and with these
there are waistcoats Of bright tomato
red or tangerine cloth or velvet
trimmed with furnished gold or sill

Three-ouarter Length Coat.
The three uarter length coat bids
fair to replace the long coat of last
season and some OF the models are
attractive enough to insure the sue
cess of this new fashion. Those of
clothing trimmed with fur seem par
ticularly good in that they may do
double duty, serving for both day and
evening wear Quite the prettiest
Paris design up TO date is one carried
out in old rose colored broadcloth on
simple but new lines. This model is
edged about neck hem and sleeves
with black fox fur bands of varying
widths and a matching muff is car
ried. giving a correct finishing detail
TO which the French woman always
gives careful attention Cut on XII
mono lines with diagonal closing in
front, the sleeves are cut separate
and attached fatty to the coat shout

Some of the new one piece dresses
that are worn under the three-uuarter
length coats are real style innovations.

Style Lines Break Traditions.
A curious point Of the afternoon
gown is the way the style lines break
the usual traditions. The neck of the
dress is cut lower than is usual in day
time models; deep. transparent yokes
are left unlined or with a single sheer
thickness of chiffon, and the ankle

skirt drape,-ies or slashed seams.
The nun of this winter is to contin-
ue the prestige gained for its prede-
cessors of last year and previous ones

To agree with the ermine and skunk

are worn. The tippet has a high, fold

decorated with skunk. Another black
