coats | have ever seen. Inc material
of the original model was duvetyn In
a splendid shade of cherEy-red, and
the design was one of the new styles
which show the curious long waist and
straight side seams, writes Idalia de
Villicrs in the Boston Globe.
The coat was belted in at the waist,
or rather far below it, by ceinture
of duvetyn, carefully machine stitched.
This ceinture was held in place at the
sides by straps attached to the coat
and the buttons were very large and
in cut jet. The lining of this coat was
a special feature. 1t was composed of
Chinese blue satin, brocaded with a
silver-gray design of scrolls and leaves.
The harmony of color was exquisite
and the coat was to be worn over a
smart skirt, arranged in a double tunic,
off heavy black satin.
This new material, "duvetyn," is de-
lightfully soft and supple. 1t is so very
like the popular material known as
velours de laine that it is often mis-
taken for it, but duvetyn is softer than
velours de laine. 1t is also far warm
er and more supple.
1t is made in all the newest shades;
in emerald green and Chinese blue it
makes superb coats and wraps, and in
pure white it gives fairy-like effects
when combined with white fox or with
ermine.
Many of the newest Redfern models
are made of velours de laine in strong
shades of red, blue and purple. These
suits are lavishly trimmed with braid
ings and with bands Of fox, astrachan
or sable. Redfern is making a good
many long-waisted coats, but he de-
ponds now, as always, more upon his
perfect cut and finish than upon sensa-
tionally novel outlines.
Handsome Tailored Suits.
l have seen some delightful tailored
suits in heavy make of satin in Red
ferns showrooms. One of these in a
pale shade of beige whipcord, was
trimmed with Siberian fox of a most
curious tint. 1t was neither beige nor
yellow, but something between the
two, and it blended beautifully with
the tone of the whipcord. This Siber-
ian fox is very fashionable in Paris
this season.
In quality the fur is rarely beautiful,
quite as soft and silky as the famous
blue and silver foxskins. The Paris
iennes have taken a special fancy to
the curious yellow-beige color of the
fur, and it is likely to become a rage
in circles where expense has not to be
considered. For Siberian fox in a
good quality is almost as expensive as
the fine white skins.
l spent some time in Rouff's show
rooms one afternoon. And l was
shown several beautiful winter, walk
ing costumes which I will describe
One of these was composed of black
satin, black breitschwanz and sable.
The coatee, which was quite short
and rounded in the fronts, was made
Of lovely quality of breitschwanz,
supple and silky as mirror velvet
Then the draped skirt, which was
slightly shorter in front than at the
back, was made of heavy black
satin, while the tunic, composed of
black crepe de chine, was bordered
with sable.
Really Smart Waistcoat.
There was very smart little waist
coat of tango-red suede embroidered in
dull silver and small collar of sable
at the back Of the coat. Large dull
silver buttons, richly chased, finished
Off an ideal winter visiting costume. A
second suit, of the same order, was
made of pale twine-color velvet en-
broidered in black silk and trimmed
with narrow bands of black fox.
The coat belonging to this dress was
three-quarter length and banded in
just below the normal waist line by
splendid Russian belt made of black
leather and inset with facets of silver
and with deep blue turquoises. This
coat opened over blouse of twine-col-
ored Venetian guipure, and this
blouse opened, in turn, over a dainty
chemisette made of ivory white tulle.
This costume was to be accompanied
by a fiat-brimmed hat in black silk
beaver which had at one side two
pointed wings, one in a brilliant shade
of emerald green and the other pure
white.
In the same showrooms | saw sew
eral fascinating little visiting dresses
destined to be worn under the large
Wrap-mantles which are now so popu-
lar. One of these gowns was made of

There was an underdress of black
tulle covered with black Chantilly lace
founces and the MORE part of the

founces ran right up to the waist.
There was short MORE coatee,
with full shaped basque, and this
coatee was bordered with black fox at
the neck and on the sleeves. The
coatee opened over waistcoat of
