The fur is brown, white. gray. with

after women had grown used to the

Where does all this talk of short coats
come from. and why has it arisen to
upset every woman who struggled with
altering her last winters coat into this

the tailors having that new coat fitted:
She may have unusual serenity regard
ing fashions but she is not entirely
proof against the sudden incoming Of
another fashion in contradi ction to the
one she has adopted.
She consoled herself with the thought
that the peplum, which caused her so
much trouble, can be lifted. leaving the
jacket at the proper length; but what
must be done if the modern military
jacket really succeeds the common

That cavalry jacket of the allies is
a dashing shape not easily carved out

another idea: that saucy Zouave of the
French colorials and of the Turkish
