Black satin is used for the frock. The
trimming-skirt band. sleeve finish,

is an oriental design embroidery done
in yellow, Chinese or peacock blue and
mandarin red.
The whole effect is decidedly pleas
ing.
To make this little frock. the skirt

bottom when finished, six yards of
satin thirty-siX inches wide will be
required The skirt is simply finished
at the top with narrow shirring.

Of the coat or blouse might be used
on the skirt IL DESIRED but the two
sections Of this frock should be in
separable, so that adorning the con-
cealed part of the skirt would seem
rather a waste of time.
The Chinese influence is admitted
in many of the handsome evening
coats shown this season. An occasion

of the more conservative wraps carry

NEW YORK, October 9.-There are
several struggles going on in the world
of dress. One has to do with the elimi-
nation of the short, f1aring skirt for
evening wear and the substitution of
the tight clinging skirt that graduates
into a long train at the back. Another
struggle is between the elimination of
the Anglo-Saxon uniform known as
the coat suit, and the substitution of
the thin one-piece frock topped by a
splendid overcoat.
No matter where you go among the
dressmakers and the shops, these strug-
giles are presented to you for individ-

OMterest TO Women
THE NEW COAT. SUITS FROM PARIS.

/ coat and skirt for street usage. This
kind of costume is ingrained in our
national outdoor life, and if we ever
reason than presented this autumn.
| And yet there Is one admirable ref
ormation taking place. to which every
woman should lend her support-the
piece frock and a top coat, for house
affairs. used for smart lunches, card
parties and Informal nights at the
theater. The three-piece suit with it's
elaborate blouse has been steadily
preached against by the best artists in
dress.
The American woman has clung to
the idea of having a gown that will
serve all purposes, the kind of gown
which one designer has nicknamed the
commuters delight.
However, the best guess in fashion
and in the art of dressing is to have
plain mannish coat suit for the street,
with a simple blouse and whatever fur
and topcoat Of some kind that can
be worn over a thin one-piece frock
and removed-the coat, not the frock-
when one enters house.
Everybody who has a bit Of peltry to
sell is insisting that q fur coat is In
first fashion and that no woman can
afford to be without one this season.
but the canny woman who has had ex-
perience along this line realizes that
one cannot walk in fur coat on more
than three days in a month during the
winter season, unless one is In eli
mate where freezing is an every day
affair. In the middle Atlantic and
southwestern states 1t is only tolerable
in the late evening in a motor, and
even in cities where there is snow on
the ground the majority of fur coats
are too heavy for woman who shops
or goes in and out of heated places.

France Develops New Coats.

1t comes back to the old problem of
the American woman trying to wear
what the French woman wears, for the
former walks and the later rides. For
the walking woman, and such is the
Anglo-Saxon, the coat suit is the thing.
and if top coats and one-piece frocks
are utilized, which they should be, they
need not conflict with the first autumn
choice of mannish-looking costume
that serves well for everyday activi-
ties.
Drecol1 has always known how to
make an admirable coat suit. Whether
or not this house learned the trick in
Vienna, is of no Importance whatever
ito Americans, even If the French make
much fuss about 1t.

tunes that has been received in this
country with a good deal of enthu-
siasm. 1t is of mouse gray velour, with
two collars, each of which has dis
tinction. The lower one is of velour,
and 1t carries out the prevailing neck
line, but to make the effect more be-
coming, or rather less exacting, there
lis a high, inside collar of black velvet.
The skirt is cut on slender lines and
hangs into the figure. The coat is slim
in the body and sleeves and slightly
full in the peplum, and there is large.

How Not to Sneeze.

Everyone who attends church or
goes to the theater or other place
where people are assembled knows
how embarrassing it is to have to
sneeze with the usual unpleasant
sounds that accompany such an
outburst of our real nature, an ex-
change says Such may very easily
be avoided by thinking quickly and
following a simple little rule which
will save us much annoyance.
When the feeling comes over US
which always precedes a sneeze, all
we have to do is to lay our finger
across the upper lip directly beneath
the nose and press firmly upon the lip
for a few seconds.
The sneeze will leave without max
ing itself heard.
The same result can be obtained by
laying the finger across the lower lip
Just above the chin and pressing rath-
er firmly for few moments.
Either of these acts will not attract
attention and in almost every instance
the person will be saved the annoy
ance of disturbing the entire audi
ence
