COAT DESIGNED FOR FALL
Distinctive in Shape, and Calls for
Much More Distinct Outline OF
the Figure.

The first striking novelty is a long,
coat, tight fitting and calling for al
more defined figure than we have in-|
dulged in for some years past. Below
the waist it widens into full skirts, like|
the old redingote, and the skirts have|
sometimes a shaped fiounce to give|
them even greater fullness. 1t fastens|
right up to the throat in front. and
from the waist downward 1t opens and
falls away at either side. This is the|
type of coat that will presage the au.|
tumn fashions.

behind Fain. The six men never once
wavered-Baskin, Fain, Smith, john

voted equally as consistently for Pace,
while Pace who too had voted for
himself in the previous battle, threw
his vote TO Vernoy This was taken
to mean that the seventh vote nee
essary to elect Fain win not come
