SEVERAL CHARMING MEMBERS
Of THE COAT FAMILY

Boleros will be particularly smart
this year is taffeta and faille Light
weight materials such as gabardine
will also admit this short, jaunty gar
ment into terms OF intimacy. Very
often in this latter case, too, the jack
ct viii be of contrasting material, as,
for instance, in one smart street suit
which combined with skirt of checks
in mustard and green bolero of the
former color,
The sleeves of these coates are
very often short and end just below
the elbow with a ruffle-perhaps picot-
ed-or with deep cuff. Sometimes,
however, they are long, but in any
case they show the line of the should
er Kimono sleeves are now in fact
universal. In some of the taffeta boil
eros noted the seamless shoulder effect
is intensified by breaking 1t off sudden
ly above the elbow and attaching to it
at that point sleeve-generally rath-
er full and puffy.
The rolling collar is feature of
many of these new coatees, says a New
York Press writer. Sometimes, how
ever, we incorporate the high military
collar, gaping wide at the throat, with
the absurdly diminutive coat AS a
rule, however, the bolero borrows
charm from the Byron or otherwise
collar OF the organdy vest, which has
now become its regular ally,
Among the most charming of the
coat family to arrive 70 us this spring
are those bewilderlng beruffied bits of
taffeta. These are so enchanting that
they make every girl long for the sum
mer hop al which they will undoubted-
ly be much worn. These coats run
through many variations, but all have
a Pierrette gayety of rufIies. The most
popular form is one in which there is
yoke deepening in the back to a
point like that of the old fashioned

to the conventional limits of yoke
Around this zone are placed two far.
ing ruflies which describe in the front
a cut-away curve. Around the elbow
sleeve there is another full rufiie, and
the plainness of the neck is neglected
! by perhaps a ruche of tulle.
All during the summer we may ex-
pect constant insistence upon the lit
tie fiowered coatee. Very often it will
be of rich brocaded material in some
of the lovely shades of wheat and egg
yellow, pale golden green and soft
rose, Another fabric utilized in the
coatee for wear with lingerie gowns
is one of the new cotton stuffs on
which is thrown pattern of colored
velour.
The toot of the motor horn has called
out many new fabrics and designs.
Among the former is velours de laine,
material which we see constantly
this spring in coats of all descriptions.
One of the most practical models in
velours de laine occurs in mustard
and-black check with touches of black
velvet.
The long sleeves are continuation
of short yoke on which is gathered
very fully, the three quarter length
coat. This shirring below the yoke
is one of the most popular models of
spring coats, for, besides being becom-
ing to most figures, it gives the pre-
scribed looseness of the moment. The
adjustable collar of black velvet on
this coat makes it quite ideal for mo-
otring.

some COLOR SCHEMES
IN HOME GARDENING

A great deal of the success in plant
ing garden for artistic effect lies in
the proper placing of the plants with
respect to color. The position of plants
will of course vary with the character
and quality of the soil and the posi-
tion with respect to buildings and 9th
er accessories. In order to place plants
properly it is essential to know some
thing of their requirements as to soil
and situation. Such points can be
gained from seedsmen's and plants
mems catalogues and in many instanc-
es by personal inquiries among ones
neighbors.
So far as flowers are concerned it is
necessary to observe four fundament-
ais in the planting of a bed or bor-
der; namely, color, habit of plant, per-
iod of bloom, and succession of sea-
son as to bloom. Unquestionably col
or is the most striking Characteristic of
perhaps the great majority of flowers.
Success in any piece of planting must
depend to a large extent on the skill
and the good taste with which the gar
dener places the plants. The old-fash-
ioned method of putting plants in hap
hazard so that perhaps yellow calce-
olaria, blue lobelia and scarlet ger
anium became irreconcilable in each
others presence, has happily given
way to a day OF better taste.
For broad, rich and effective display
both ON close examination and for dis
tance effect the finest color effects are
produced rather in harmonies than in
contrasts. OF course, the composition
of bed or a border must be governed
more or less by circumstances, and by
the number of colors available either
in the varieties of a species or in the
number of species to be used. 1t is by
no means essential or desirable that
every square inch of soil be made to
shout color all the time or to strug-
gle for color mastery with it's neigh.
bors. Each variety or species should
have its time for appearing, playing
its part and disappearing, and these
times should fit in with the appearance.
es and disappearances of other blooms
so that there will be a constant sue
cession of actors in the garden drama
The most effective colors, those
| which give the warmest tints and the
greatest wealth of color effects, should
be chosen first Yellow, orange, rose
crimson and scarlet are the warmest
| tints which we can use. They natural
| ly associate harmoniously and re-en
| force each other admirably. For this
reason they can beplanted close to
gether without thought of inharmonies
Another group consists of purple, VIC
| let, mauve, lilac, and lavender. These
form a rich concordance, or they may
be used to contrast with yellow oil

ciated with the paler tints of the pri

mary colors such as primrose, yellow
mauve and pink.
1t is generally advisable to keep such
striking blues as lobelia, delphinium
and gentian as far as possible from
purple and mauve. These blues are
always difficult to deal with in a
scheme where harmony is desired
Perhaps the best positions for them
are where vivid contrasts only few
are desired to punctuate the color
picture. Almost the same remark will
apply to such brilliant scarlets as are
found in lychnis, oriental and annual
poppies, some of the cannas, and sal
via splendens
Pale green foliage and brilliant blue
do not look well together, as rule.
Therefore, such plants as gentian and
pyrethrum should rarely be planted
side by side Gray foliage may be as
sociated with vivid colors such as Grim
son, pure blue and scarlet. For in
stance, dusty miller with scarlet sage
or gentian. Purple or brown foliage
such as acalypha with yellow or
orange flowers such as marigold, may
be placed together 1t is not desirable
TO place blush pink and magenta Grim
son close to crimsons or scarlets. Rosy
mauve and rose pink go well with sill
yer gray, as found in the plant known
as Stachys lanata. Such combinations
as this are rarely found in the one
plant Nature seldom makes the mis-
take of having the foliage of a plant
| fight with the color of its own flowers.
Nearly always the foliage will furnish
good background for the flowers.
In planting a bed with two colors
that contrast, good plan is to have a
broad edging Of one color with cen
tral mass of the other. For instance,
bed of white dianthus or pinks may
be edged with mauve violas or purp-
| lish Canterbury bells. The Canterbury
bells, if planted in bed by them
selves, might be edged with yellow
violas, or yellowish green fohages
pyrethrum.
The same principle will apply in
planting long marginal bed or border
whether of ANIMALS or perennials or
even shrubs. The very best way in
which to arrange the masses is to have
each kind of plant in an irregular
clump so theer will be only one color
in it, the clumps edging one another
! throughout the border. From end to
end of the area the colors may be ar.
ranged; for instance, as follows: Pur-
pie, mauve, white, pale yellow, bright
| yellow, orange, scarlet, crimson, rose,
pink, white, pale blue and bright blue.
Such an arrangement will give full
| spectrum of color, and so will the fol
lowing arrangement: Dark blue, light
blue, white, pale yellow, yellow,
orange, scarlet, full red. These two
examples will give an idea of the or
der in which colors should follow each
other.
