same time light. 1t looked artistic anC
the garments were exceedingly com.
Portable.
Then the idea seemed to drop from
favor. People said that knitted coats
however artistic they might be. were
only suitable for the seaside or country
Some OF the smartest Parislennes con-
tlnued TO wear the coats when they were
taking a morning or afternoon walk in
the Bots de Boulogne, but the general
public were little afraid OF them.
Now. however, these trlcot coats are
in full flood OF favor. They are being
made in various rich colors and they will
be worn all through the winter by
women who like to take exercise.
A beautiful model Of this order was
in a deep shade Of sapphire blue. 1t was
a mixture OF silk and wool, and there
was sash, also OF tricot. which circled
the waist The sash was finished Oft
with two black silk tassels. The coat
opened In V in front and there was a
large sailor collar made OF astrekhan.
II was an exceedingly smart coat and
Il was TO be worn over a draped skirt
OF black charmeuse
have seen similar coats in a deep
shade OF iaponica pink and in the new
tamarisk green. OF course, such coats
are not quite suitable for ordinary street
wear: they are intended for driving
or for walk in tho country. or even
for a visit to intimate friends. When
these tricot coats are trimmed with fur
and adorned with handsome buttons
they are wonderfully attractive and 1t
II we'll 10 realize that they may be
counted among the novelties OF the
season.
A very we'll known Partisan furr,er
has just introduced some fancy sets
consisting Of stole, mum and close fitting
toque or cap. These charming items
OF feminine attire are picturesque In
outline and exceedingly chic. one set
was composed Of fitch in the natural
color, ermine and black satin.
The large barrel muff had founda-
ton OF crminc. Then, at either end |
thenc were bands of ftch. and right in !,
the middle piece Of soft black satin |
finely ruckcd Lying on this band Of
satin was a loose black satin bow and
the mum was lined with white chiffon.
The stole. which was rather short |
was made 10 match. a band OF rucked |
black satin ran up the centre, and at
either side there were strips OF htch |
Wing against background OF ermine'
The touue was in the style OF Close
fitting Scotch cap and was mace oi
crmiuc. \ narrow band of fitch clncled
he snft crown and the trimming con
sisted Of two quilts cleverly covered
with black satin.
SETS of this kind will be very fashion
able this winter. The Parisiennes are
uarticuIarly fond OF fitch in the natural
tint They consider il very decorative
ard use il for trimming 1880 tippets
made Of black velvet and also on coats
and dresses made of goltine or faced in

vas specially attracted by the COM
nInation OF ermine and fitch which
have lust described. 1t was unusual
and with the addition OF the effective
touch OF dead black the set was highly
original Imitation ermine, in the best
uualltv. might he used in combination
with htch. that is TO say, as back
ground on which bands of the pale
fur could he laid.
Nine Rcianr, the actress, had
splendid stole and muff made think
{ WAS last winter--of black brett
,chwanz and fitch. 1t was at the time
when fiat granny muffs were in favor
md this mum was entirely formed OF
black hreitsChwanz with bands of yell
ow fitch laid across it In diagonal lines
There was long. very wide stole to
match and both stole and muff were
ined with lemon yellow satin yelled in
shot gauze which showed pale tints OF
-ellow and brown. IL was a genuinely
artistic creation and made "a sensation
whenever the actress carried II.
II is interesting to note that black
ATTN Innings are being introduced on
many OF the new tailored models on al
most all the smart coats made of navy
10th or serge and also on coats In light
olors. There Is something very at
ractive about a black satin lining in
ergo suit os the classic order. Such
| lining supplies the little mannish
ouch which makes the suit original and
thing apart from the ready made cos
umes which are to be found in the
torres, little while ago every one
wanted white satin Innings; then It be-
anne the fashion to have fancy brocade
n shot taffeta- Now, again. II is con-
idnred correct to have black satin or
,eau de sole.
Apropos OF serge suits T am glad TO
