merely contribution to the fashion
for top coats. One can use a polon-
aise over any kind of skirt and blouse,
and If it is lined in the colorful and
interesting way that prevails among
tailors today, it presents itself as a
garment of rare merit.
The short jacket, however, as it
will be worn this autumn, is bit Of
costumery that is taken by the back
of the neck and pulled out of the fam
lily album.
Whether or not the peculiar vaude.
vile trick Of presenting a family
album in song and living pictures,
which has spread over New York
through the success Of one of the
musical revues of the season, was the
predecessor of this short, tight jacket,
nobody can tell. It is a far-fetched
idea, no doubt, but don't you think it
is rather interesting that the stage
folk should get up family album
scene that runs through vaudeville
fashions as dancing does, and that,
now, suddenly, that coat and skirt
should be launched into costumery?
One Of these jackets which will I'M
doubtedly prove success because it
has been issued by dominant house,
has little hustle all it's own. It be-
longs to a skirt that is quite narrow,
and it has a bit Of an upward pull
from knees to waistline at the back
pull so slight that it is not always
noticeable:
The jacket fits the figure, curves in.

flares out into series Of folds that
give the hustle effect. It is buttoned

There is band of velvet above the
hem Of the coat. The buttons arc
covered with the wine-colored velour
that makes the suit. The collar is
very high, soft in it's folds, rolls over
backward to the neck line and is trim.
med with a band Of velvet.
Fasten From Chin to Hem.
Revers are abandoned by the tailors
and dressmakers. Where one coat
will have them, sixteen others will be
fastened in a straight line from the
chin to the lower edge. All the col
lars are high, but soft and enveloping
the neck and chin in the manner that
was considered correct in the eight
zenith century.
Mind you, this style is not the only
powerful note in fashion that is
brought out for jackets. It is one Of
several other details, and a woman
will have the chance to accept what
i she wishes.
This latter situation will be the
hope and the downfall of many WON
en-. Left to themselves to choose
among heterogeneous mass of ma
terial, the best minds will grow con
fused and go wrong. On the Other
hand, highly trained judgment will
give to women the change to express
their individuality and look a little
unlike their neighbors.
It may be said, however, that thu
coat that fastens in a line down the
front, the buttons running straigh
through the high, rolling collar, will

For this reason it is said that large
