NOATS are always a subject Of
interest with the incoming Of
cool weather and this year
there is unusual variety offered. In
spite Of the fact that long coats on the
redingote order have been talked, the
shorter coats are the ones in demand
for street costumes and both the plain
ones and those in cape style are offered.
The cape coat is perhaps the greatest
novelty. 1t is utilized for street COS
TUNES, for evening wear, for travelling,
motoring and the like and sometimes
a single model can be converted TO
several different uses merely by a
change Of materials. The plaid coat
over the plain waistcoat shown in the
picture is one Of the sort and, as made
here. combines plaid wool with plain
broadcloth; consequently, it is adapted
TO general wear, to golf and the like
but 1t frequently is seen made Of plain
colored broadcloth with lining and
waistcoat Of pale colored or white
satin or Of colored charmeuse over a
white waistcoat to become adapted to
evening occasions. Since il is always
pretty and graceful and very generally
,ecoming, il is welcome, to whatever
use il is put At the left is shown one
Il the loose straight coats in cape
,tyle. Really it is made with raglan
sleeves with a small shoulder cape
arranged over it but the lines suggest
shose Of the cape and the garment
is an exceedingly attractive one. The
skirt with the long plain tunic shown
with il is an excellent one for the
purpose and the combination Of plain
broadcloth with striped is smart in the
extreme. The remaining coat in cape
style is designed for practical wear,
for motoring, travelling and all such
occasions. In the picture, il is made
of blue serge with trimming of plaid

and, in this instance lace founcing
falls over the skirt below the puffs. In
the back view, the skirt is shown with
out the founce and it will be found
desirable for taffeta and for the soft
satins that are so much worn through
out the autumn and for almost any
material suitable to a dressy costume.

material and is worn over tunic
skirt that combines two materials.
The coat can be made with or without
the sleeves. for the cape perfectly
protects the arms. When the coat is
used as a separate wrap. double-taced
cloths are liked and there are a great
many wool velours and the like that
are exceedingly handsome for the
purpose.
Simple tailored suits always are Ia
demand. The cutaway coat and skirt
With haring insets at the side seams
make two important innovations and
there is a ripple effect at the hips and
one at the lower edge. Costumes Of
the sort are always best made from
simple materials adapted TO the tailor
finish. We shall see a great deal OF
broadoloth this summer as well as
gabardine. serge, cheviot and the
like. Velvet trimmings make a notable
feature Of the autumn, too, and the
collar and cuffs Of black on the back
ground Of the blue known as Labrador
are exceedingly handsome.
At the extreme right is shown one
Of the novelty suitings in shades Of
brown. The coat is made with the
Japanese sleeves that 50 many women
prefer to every other sort and is finished
with haring ruffle that gives an emil
nentIy smart touch The skirt is a
plain one in two-pieoe style with two
Aounoes arranged over It to give
tunic effect. A different but equally
smart effect could be obtained by
making the coat Of heavy MORE silk,
bengaline or velvet while the skirt is Of
serge, broadcloth or other contrasting
material, for such combinations are
to be much worn and the materials
chosen lend themselves to the treat
ment with perfect succeaA

linen but, for the cooler weather, challis
or albatross would be pretty with fills
Of lace.
The house Jacket with the tucked
fronts and the one with the big rolling
collar are very practical as well as
charming garments. They can be made
easily and quickly and a change Of
neglisees adds greatly to woman's
comfort while. at the same time, they
serve a really economical end as they
are apt to mean a saving Of the blouses
and gowns designed for more formal
wear.
Evening journal., 1914-09-08

\ TO matter how many garments Of
IN similar sort may be in a woman's
wardrobe, there is always room
for another pretty negligee. These,
while they are all smart, are so dis
tinctly different in style that each frills
its own special place.
The draped negligee with its soft.
becoming frills is essentially dainty and
charming, really ideal to wear in the
boudoir or even with a skirt to match
to the home breakfast table. In the
picture, it is made Of dainty embroid-
cred muslin with frills Of handkerchief

THERE is no prettier or more fash

lace with taffeta. This frock is
ali white with the color found in the
rosebud trimming and in the bunch

ing and, at the same time, eminently
youthful. The plain one-pieoe blouse
can be made Just as it is here or with
a bib-like portion to match the pulled
tunic. The skirt is made all in one
piece with the tunics arranged over It

I HAPPILY for the world of fashion.
II the season of Trouville was in
full force before the horror of
war came to shock the civilized world
In spite of the fact that the French
houses will not be able to hold their
openings and buyers across the sea
will not be able to give thought to the
matter Of importing models, we have
sufficient information as to the ex-
pected styles to give US ample oppor-
tunity for development and sufficient
goundwork on which to build up a sea-
son OF our own. If as has been claimed,
1t is true that American designers need
only the opportunity to prove their
skill, that opportunity likely is at hand
With such a hideous worldwide catas-
trophe as this war facing us, thoughts
Of dress seem trivial but experience
shows that fashions come and 90 what
ever the great events and whatever
the tragedies Of life and, even as
France was particular to be in the
latest style during the days Of that
terrible Revolution which sent so many
brave souls to the scaffold. we may
expect new developments in cut and
style, let the rulers Of Europe decree
what slaughter they may.
Here in our own climate, we have
still a great many weeks Of warm
weather to anticipate. While we are Of
course interested in what will be worn
with the coming Of autumn, there are
apt to be somewhat more immediate
demands that are more pressing and
the latest advices from the French
watering places are replete with sug-
gestions for immediate wear.
All sorts Of wonderful white costumes
are fashionable for morning wear at
resorts and, for afternoon occasions.
muslins are developed in most fasci-
mating way. French women have
always been fond Of fine muslin. The
real French grande dame finds fine
quality and dainty workmanship far
more to her liking than elaborate trim
ming and some Of the most beautiful
costumes are really the simplest in
design. Then, too, the latest fashions.
the founced skirts and the like, are
especially well suited to dainty fabrics
and, for late summer, there is a fancy
for combining these beautiful materials
with taffeta and the soft silks in be
coming colors. the combinations bring
ing about some very beautiful effects
from the standpoint Of color as well a.
style A fascinating gown that make.
a good example is made Of the hnesi
India muslin. The skirt consists o
four gathered rufHes that are cut in BIZ

A LMOST every possible kind Of

season and, since the long
straight tunics are greatly in vogue,
lace is used to great advantage. This
young girls costume, for example, is
made Of white taffeta and white lace,
the result being an extremely dainty
gown available for various afternoon
functions If preferred, the sleeves
can be made shorter and the haring
collar omitted giving just the round
neck finish. but the long sleeves make
a somewhat important feature Of latest
fashions. The frock is a very simple
one in spite Of its extreme smartness
and consists Of two-piece skirt with
