Pockets in Evening Coats.

Every woman who goes out after can
die light is not overanxious to carry a
bag, even when she owns costly trifie
of gold mesh and precious stones: she
does not wish TO be incumbered with it
during an evenings gayety and yet she
needs money, a handkerchief and other
trifies The pocket in the evening coat
is the solution of the problem; it is made
of heavily stitched satin, or, better still,
of dyed channels or suede and the flap is
fastened over with a glove clasp
The loose evening skirts really allow a
woman to have pockets on the hips, and
this Is safer than leaving money in an
evening coat which is hung in the dress
ing room. At the theater, as well as at
the opera, women retain their evening
wraps. and so the money is safe. but
these are the only occasions where it is
convenient to do it.
The pocket in the evening gown is all
very well If the material is not trans
parent. When it is of lace or chiffon or
tulle the pocket is bundlesome, and no
one wishes to carry even a latchkey in it.
The new trick which women have
learned this season is to have a small
pocket made at the top of the high girdle
or in the hem of the sash ends: the latter
is the newest idea of all. Almost every
gown of the season has a wide girdle
with large bow at the back, or fiat
boa with long, loose ends. and 1t is easy
to put pocket in one of them.

There is. a rivalry between handbags
and pockets these days. The new TURK
ish skirts which have inserted pockets In
the front pleats are not yet popular, Du1
they promise to be, and pockets In coats
and waistcoats are popular.
Women have found that men have the
best of it in this line Of costumery, and
they have determined to adopt the details
of their dress as well as the main points.
The first objection that women have
to pockets in their coats is that it spells
the shape of the garment. The new
fashion Of walking with the hands in the
pocket, which has been adopted all sum-
mer in America at the fashionable re-
sorts, has shown women how easily the
hang of a coat can be ruined by such
treatment, and they are not apt to try it
with their best winter suit.
They are prepared to adopt the upper
coat pocket, placed inside, and deep
enough to hold papers and purse. This
fashion is made possible by the fullness
of the new jackets; 1t swings off the
shoulders in such voluminous folds that
few pockets in the upper part would
have little effect on the silhouette.
The waistcoat pockets are also placed
over the chest, but there are two below
the waist line in which women carry
small change or theater tickets or sam
pies. These new waistcoats extend for
five inches below the belt and are sepa-
rated in front and spring over toward
the hip, SO it is quite easy to place two
oblong pockets across that space.
II a woman once makes use of these
conveniences she will find it difficult to
give them up. True. handbag is con-
venient receptacle. but there are many
occasions on which it is a nuisance. and
two or three small pockets carry all that
a woman needs.

against the moderate GOODNESS Of late
summer evenings.
Another garment which comes into ia
vor during this period Of the year is the
light raincoat, either of rubber or some
finely woven cloth. The introduction of
the panama hat and the hat Of Manila
weave Is held responsible by dealers for
ural increase of the raincoat. The fur

also call attention to the remarkable va
riety of cOlOrs now used.

BY THE BOULEVARDIER.

r fABERDASHEKS. clothiers and hat
n ters confess that they find this the
= = most puzzling season of the year.
They are just now using all their justly
celebrated ingenuity to develop some KIND
OF style which will, follow the general
fashions and yet be compatible with the
peculiarly summer-autumnal character OF
late August and early September.
The difficulty the haberdashers face Is
to supply clothing which can be generally
worn through that season OF the year
when the equinoxial showers are close at
hand and the temperature varies widely
from week to week The man who Is
following fashions must be able to go to
his office In garb that Is cool enough for
the summer sun and yet offers protection
against the sudden afternoon shower
and the quick lowering In the thermom-
eter which sometimes follows.

Because Of this weather, affording as 1t

who has been wearing light hannels and

that these light cloth suits furnish him
almost the same degree Of GOODNESS that
is found In his beloved white clothes and
have the additional virtue OF not looking
like the weeks wash as soon as it Is hit
