appeared in its fiaring form on sleeves,
collars, in shoulder drapery, at the
knees in wide ruffles. The sketch of to-
day shows the very newest adaptation of
what is now known as the minaret flare.
, The coat was seen by the artist on
woman coming out of a matinee perform
ance at the Metropolitan Opera House
She was about to step into her motor
and it Is well that she had not elected to
walk. for the garment she wore might
have created an unpleasant impression on
the street and made her a target Of
chances and comments.
Even in New York, eccentric features
in costume are very much noticed and
the public pays its disrespectful attention
to whatever it does not like with
which 1t is unfamiliar. The rlinaret flare
at the end of this afternoon coat is an
eccentric feature; of that, no one could be
in doubt long.
New Feature of Smart Coat.
There is economy in the present con-
dition of fashion which allows woman
to wear many of her evening gowns in
the afternoon, and this is especially true
of coats. The woman of fashion assisted
by money will have half as many coats
in her wardrobe-separate coats. that is
she has gowns The top wrap has be-
come an important feature of costumery
and the designers have not neglected ii
when they were inventing new features
that would displace the old.
The coat In question is an evidence of
this. and 1t is also an evidence of the
kind of wrap that one may wear in the
afternoon as well as the evening The
color is the kind of blue often called cor
beau in Paris which signifies the blue
blackness of the crow. This tone is very
much appreciated this season because 1t
is distinct addition to the wardrobe of
the woman who Is not able to wear
either real blue or dead black.
The material of the coat is velvet
fabric that it is difficult to get away from,
no matter what kind of garment one
chooses. 1t is that thick pile velvet that
wears well and has warmth. The lining
is a duh Chinese gray that is apt to har-
monize with any gown one wears The
long sleeves are cut in one with the
shoulder and the fullness at the knees is
confined within two thick cords
1t is below these cords that the eccen-
trio flare appears. 1t is shaped in the
| manner of ruff1es, there are two pieces
of cloth shaped out widely at the hem
and edged with white fox. The collar
and cuffs are of white fox also the bot
cause 1t is one Of the things you might
like to copy.

proven a big incentive. and at the same
time may prove to act as a disruption
in the league, owing to the bitter feel

prove TO be the best. Following out this

WHY CHICK EVANS IS RATED AS
THE BEST AMATEUR GOLFER

How it happens that such a profess
sional Of renown as Harry Vardon, ap-
preciating the why's and wherefores Of
what makes for a really great golfer as
he does. rated Charles E. Evans, jr., as
Americas greatest amateur golfer, is
well explained by Harold H. Hilton, ex-
British and American champion, in a re-
cent article.
Like the poor. the students Of psyche
logic golf are always with US, and those
who happen to be interested in that
phase OF the game will undoubtedly real
iZe that Hilton in his estimate Of Evans
Is somewhat Of an analyst on his own
account.
Many a writer with even the kindest
thoughts toward Evans has declared that
his failure TO occupy the highest pin
nacle in American amateur golf Is en-
tirely due to temperament, and tempera-
ment. it is conceded. is essentially a
mental operation. Evans is highly imagi-
native, OF a quick mentality and a keen
sense Of realization, and evidently Of
receptive mind, which those who have
studied the telepathic proposition might
say is largely responsible for the fact
that suggestive thoughts from minds op-
posed to him have their own i'll effect
II would seem exactly so. This, too,
with Evans frank disposition. is plainly
discernible to those of the opposition, and
the antagonistic suggestion and its effect
on Evans becomes even more acute.
Evans and His Putting.
Those who have seen Evans play golf
will appreciate the following excerpt:
Il have seen him putt with telling and
deadly effect and when one sees him in
this form there would appear TO be no
earthly reason why he should not always
putt consistently, as when in one of these
happy moods he not only hits the ball
truly. but. moreover. looks as IL he an
ticipated that he was going to do so.
But when he has missed a putt or
two he completely loses confidence in his
powers, and invariably commences to try
some other style of putting. And If an
i'll wind still comes his way he will chop
and change about from one style to an
other until he works himself into an alb
ject state OF demoralization-a condition
which he never attempts to hide from

Red Medium, 2:2S, and Fantasque. full
sister OF Fantasy 90, 2:O6 IA, a worlds
record when made, and which was held
for fourteen years, Guyman had a right
to sire something out OF the ordinary.
And further than this, because Fan

her second and third dams great brood

that Chimes was by Electioneer and out

maEkable feature in Guyson's breeding
is that he is inbred to Volunteer, for his
dam Susie was by Ben Ingrahan, 2:2a IA,
grandson Of Volunteer. 30, and Susie's
dam was by Gambetta, II72, also by Vol

his opponent. And there is nothing more
comforting in this world than to see an
opponent in a most evident state Of panic
on the putting greens. There is no known
remedy for a sudden spell Of extremely
Indifferent work on the greens, but it is
good thing to try to keep up a stout
heart and be philosophical about It.
After this homely, but none the less
valuable piece Of advice, Hilton, who
knows a golfer when he sees one, pro-
ceeds to give an illustration which
came under his own observation. He
says in part:
When Mr.. Evans came over here
first (England) there was a general
impression that he played the game
in far too light-hearted and casual
spirit. He certainly was very CHEEKY
playing in his own championship
later on in the year he was accepting
his responsibilities in a much more Sc
rious vein and by degrees he worked
himself into q great state of excite
ment. In one Of his matches in which
he was Unexpectedly made to fight to
a very close finish he was fairly tear
ing his hair at the end. I never re-
member seeing a golfer in such a wild
state as he was that day.
Lack of Confidence in Play.
AT Chicago in the following season
saw another side to the picture. I'm
til he came to the final round he ap-
peared extremely confident and was
quite cool and imperturable. but when
things began to go against him in the
final round he completely collapsed I
have seldom seen a more complete col
lapse; II was almost pathetic But all
these trials of temperament must
surely in the end prove beneficial to
the young American crack. The only
danger lies in the fact that a con-
tinued series of disappointments is not
little prone to dishearten a player.
and 1 have known Of more than one
very promising young golfer who has
had his heart broken by continuous
unexpected failure early in life. But
Il have an idea that Chick Evans will
eventually succeed in more or less
conquering his excitable imaginative
temperament and do his full powers
justice in match play"

NATIONALS WIN FROM

Local Clubmen Continue Victorious
Climb by Trimming Soldiers in
Fast Game, IA to o.

The National Athletic Club continued
its unbroken string Of victories today by
defeating the heavy post team Of Fort
Washington, by the score of IA to o.
The game was fast and furious from
start to finish, but was marred by the
fumbling at critical times by both teams,
the Nationals being the biggest losers
in this, as they fumbled the ball twice
on the soldiers 1O-yard line.
The playing Of Boots Walters in
left guard for the winners was of the
highest order, as time and again he
would break through and down the man
with the ball before he could get started.
P. Cockrell. on left end. got away with
some pretty forward passes for good
gains. Mcbride. the star back field man,
made the longest run Of the game, going
from the middle of the field for a touch
down, aided by good interference by the
back field. Pat Reilley made several
good gains, once going for IS yards. For
the soldiers, Juliana proved to be the
most CONSTANT ground gamer, being the
only man able to make any gains at
all. Lineup:
