There is considerable discussion on
the subject of coats but finger and
wrist lengths probably will prevail for
suits with long coats for afternoon
visits and for evening wear. The
waist line both in suits, and in gownsis
something Of a problem for it appears
in many forms. One designer will put
forth the raised or Empire line, another
prefers the long straight line of the
Moyen age, and third clings to the
natural waist line, although nothing
Of the "pinched in" effect is to be met.
Judging from indications it is to be a
season of very great variety and also
OF great opportunity.
Colors are singularly beautiful.
There will be great deal of rich dark
red worn. Burgundy and Bordeaux
shades are favorites and there Is a new
red that is known as Bivouac, that's
lust little unlike either Of the Others
bat rich and dark and especially beauti-
full in velvet. A very striking three
piece costume that comes from the
house Of Buloz, is made of velvet in
this color and gives evidence of the
modified Moyen age effect that I'M
doubleday will be seen to some extent.
The bodice of the velvet extends well
to the hips in almost straight lines.
The full sleeves Of Georgette in match
ing color are attached at the dropped
shoulder line and both the bodice and
sleeves are enriched with embroidery
in gold thread, but this embroidery OF

diamonds arranged to form borders and
edges in most effective manner. The
bodice is made with a high neck and
straight standing collar and the en-

and gives the effect of wide girdle.
The skirt is plain over the hips, but
arranged in very full gathers at the
front and at the back. The short
little coat is quite suggestive Of the
military with perfectly plain loose
back with belted front and is trimmed
with mink on the edge. mink collar
and mink cuffs. 1t is an exceedingly
beautiful costume, in it's color, in its
combinations Of materials and in its
embroidery, it can be taken as indi-
eating the essential feature Of the new
fashions.
Embroidery undoubtedly is to be
extensively used. every possible kind
Of embroidery. the machine stitching
that is put to wonderful uses and also
the hand embroidery Of the heavy
effective sort. On one side there is to
be noted marked tendency toward
the Chinese and Bulgarian designs,
and all the Oriental and semi-orientai
effects, but on the other there will be
met such simple effects as single
conventional flower outlined with silver
or with gold, OF spiders webs worked
with silver thread or with gold thread
giving wonderful lace-like and fasci-
mating effect. A very handsome after
