Top Coats Have
GrownMoreOri

There is no getting away from the
serious rivalry that exists between
top coats and tailored suits. The
subject not only interests the lay
man but affords keen speculation in
futurities among dressmakers.
Naturally. the exclusive part Of the
spring fashion will depend upon what
Paris exhibits the middle of Febru-
airy. 1t is not improbable that Paris
will feature vast variety of coat
suits and it is well known that she
coats. This gives the American wo-
men chance to choose as they wish.
They may take both or fret their
brains over choosing one.
All OF this lies in the future, how
ever. for there is no exact foretelling
what Paris will do. We will have
rumors, surmises, cables and infor-
nation based on letters. but we will
mot see the actual fashions until near
the first of April; until then. the new
clothes are not actually needed. ex-
cept by those who live in hot chimes.
Skating Responsible for These Goats.
There In no more reason that ice
skating should bring in top coats than
dancing. and the fact that the former
diversion has ousted the latter is what
lis commonly called ''piffie." 1t is not
easy to tell what is being done in the
rest of the country but in New York,
where fashions radiate. there Is not
the least sign of iessened activity in
dancing.
The inhabitant OF New York or the
stranger within its gates can easily
testify to this after trying to get a
bit of floor space or table at any
well known restaurant. Skating is the

doubt but 1t has not interrupted dane
ing. Even the stately tango. which
was so abused when 1t was brought
here from Paris, is being taken up so
much that special tango afternoons
have been announced at the smart
dancing clubs. and at many of the
good restaurants. Argentine musicians
have been brought here to supply the
right kind Of music for tango dane
ing.
Therefore. 1t is easy to see that the
woman who dances in the afternoon
and necessarily wears a light frock,
in weight II not In color, wants
good looking top coat to cover it in
the open. The dressing room at any
place is an interesting study in the
originality of the top coats worn.
The assembling there of all these good
looking garments Is a more interest
ing way TO see what Is being worn
than any exhibition at a dress making
place.
The latter gives an idea of what
has been created; the former, what
has been chosen, and it Is quite as
important, and some people think
more so, to know what is now worn
as what is being offered.
For coats are seldom seen, so novel
ideas are worked out in beautiful dyed
cloths, and the weave of these fabrics
is a striking comment on the art and
skill of the wearers.
Velour and Duyetyn Rivals.
There are two special fabrics that
the smart women In New York have
chosen above all others, one is du-
yetyn, the other velour. Both are ex-
pensive but their lasting qualities are

FEMININE CHAT
AND CHATTER
New Idea for Bass--A Dainty Little
Travelling Sewing Bag May BE Made
From Half Yard of Nine-Inch
Ribbon.

Perhaps IL is bags more than any
thing else In the realm of needlework
which feel the results of heavy
thinking on the part of clever and
original designers. For ingenuity the
little travelling sewing kit which can
be made from half-yard of nine
inch ribbon. probably excels. A small
cylinder of cardboard Is filled with
cotton and covered with an end of
the ribbon. This acts, of course, as
a pincushion and as the center OF the
bag. To this one-third of the width
of the ribbon In turned up In a Sc

nessities as hooks and eyes. buttons.
needles, bodkins of thread and silk,
a thimbie, etc. The other two-thirds
of the ribbon makes the enveloping
lag and is drawn together by mar
row ribbon run through a casing at
the other edge. This is a very COM
pact and practical case for the travel
err or bachelor girl.
Another bag shows a butterfly paint
ed on silk and imprisoned behind a
netting OF gild lace. The shape of
this bag is unique as we'll as the de-
sign of trimming. Two crescent
shaped disks of cardboard with the
concave of the crescent rising slight
ly to q point are covered with bright
satin. II the bag is to be used for
party bag, which lis the most ap-
propriate use for 1t, 1t should be made
fro ma piece of the dance frock. To
the cardboard disks is then sewed a
pouch Of the silk, which is shirred
at the bottom into a silk tassel of the
same color. The disks are covered
with gold net and gold cord is fash
toned into a long loop on one side ana

shorter one and the bag Is held flat

powder, a few hairpins. etc, will find
"a dainty resting place here for the
girl who dances.
A small silk glove handkerchief Is
g bit of luxury not used by many wo-
men, but very apt to be found in the
gift box of handkerchiefs. IT may
be put to good use. however, If it is
