Similar coats of figured crepe cost

In spite of the vogue for shorter
coats than those worn last winter,
there are plenty Of examples Of long
coats in satin and in fur. Robert, OF

trimmed with martin, much longer
than the coat pictured here. Max
shows one in moleskin trimmed with

the matter of length need not deter
one from choosing q coat longer than

means achieving long. graceful lines

GRACEFUL enveloping coats OF fig
" ured and brocaded fabrics. espe-
cially those of satin, are luxurious
beyond all other garments except
those of rich fur. In these figured
satin coats the design breaks up and
enhances the sheen OF surfaces. Their
high luster forms playmate for
color and Light and the three dance
together upon them.
II one ia looking for the luxurious,
It is to be found in these garments.
In the new. and what are termed
fancy" colors these coats are only
suited to high occasions. Oftener
they are developed In gray. or taupe.
or in some rich brown shade and are
more generally useful. Perhaps gray
is the happiest choice of color for
them; It is at home everywhere and
It is very elegant and-by comparison
quiet. The figured satin coat does
not pose as quiet, however-it is q
SNOWY garment.
Innings are in contrasting colors.
but they must be chosen carefully.
Nothing conspicuous will do for them.
For trimming. fur and marabout
come into use. Both these, this sea-
son. are dyed into all sorts Of colors.
They are. after all, best in natural
colors and in black and white.

noyed because the organ.blower kept
working the lever noisily after he had
finished playing. A famous preacher
had come down from London to
preach. The organist scribbled a
note to the blower. and sent it round
by a choir boy, who, misunderstood
ing his instructions, put it into the
hands of the preacher. The note was
as follows: Perhaps you will kindly
stop when I tell you to. The people
have come here to hear my music, not
your noise"
