IN WINTER COATS
Cold Weather Garments Are to
 Be Loose and Wrappy.
Four Distinct Models Are Being Shown, All Characterised by
 General Freedom.

Winter coats are now on display in many shops of the larger cities, and although few women are buying them, hordes of fe1nininity besiege the clerks to show these winter models, in or der that they may know how far be- hind the times their own 1920 model is.
 The models upon exhibition show four distinct types of winter wrap, al- though all the new season coats are marked by 1ooseness and general free dom. The redingote seems to be lead ing in popularity. This is full length model with a semifitted back, straight and full front, with cordings, shfTTings, or shocking at the normal wafstline. It is this model that is most like a bonafide coat and not the dolman wrap, as are most of the win ter outer wraps. The redingote may have fitted sleeve or the loose ki- Is most frequently seen.
 Then there is the f1ared or barrel skirted coat, the coat cut circular like cape, with full, straight back and front, and belt at low waistline, and the sackcoat, loose, beltless, and per fectly straight from shoulder to hem. The raglan sleeves of all these mod els are heavily embroidered with gay designs of wool or metallic threads. Braid is copiously used in swirling, in- tricate designs. Collars are almost as diversified as the wraps them selves, although preference is shown the extremely high directoire collar. Shawl and funnel collars are shown on a few models.
 Most of the winter wraps are skirt length, although some seven-eighth- length models are shown. Wraps show the same irregularity of hem as do skirts and hat brims. It is consid- cred very chic for one side of coat to hang downward several inches far ther than the opposite side. Deep shoulder capes, sometimes as many as three or four, are another very new feature, and these capes often ter minate in a rolling collar and hood. A Little Red Riding Hood" model is shown made of startling crimson. AL though sedate shades of black, gray and brown are prominently shown, there is much lavishness of gay color used. Royal and turquoise blue, cop per and rust, peacock, orange, scarlet and emerald abound in the more dressy wraps. Gayly plaided home spun topcoats make a pleasing array for sport wear.
 Really elaborate fur trimmings do not abound. Coat dealers explain that the furriers bought up all the fur, and that little was left for trimmings in

HAT TO MATCH BROCK COLOR
Shades Must Be Carried Out in Sport Suit and Headeear for Charm
 ina Effect

To make sport costume very smart the colors of the dress must be car ried out in the hat. For instance. a blue and beige plaid skirt, topped by a lightweight navy blue sweater, is charming when worn with a hat of dark blue taffeta trimmed with tan worsted. Such a hat may have a roll ing brim, with band formed by braid. ing several strands of the beige worsted placed around the extreme edge and a similar band finished with tassels encircling the crown. Varfa- tions of this may be made by introduc. ing different embroidery stitches. The same model in soft, bright, colored straw, when trimmed with white yarn is charming with sweater of the sam shade.

NEW YORK'S FIRST WOMAN CANDIDATE
 FOR STATE OFFICE

Miss Harriet May Mills of Syraiuse, democratic nominee for secretary of state, of New York, is the first of her sex ever to run for state office i'll New York on either a democratic or re- publican ticket. She was a delegate at-1arge to the national convention at San Francisco, and for more than de- c2de past has been a prominent work CT, upstate, for woman suffrage. What ever may happen, 1t is>evldent from the spirit in which Miss Mills started Ter campaign immediately alter the m d. summer Saratoga convention, that s1e will etsablish running record calcu- lated to justify the new-fedged an,- bitions of woman in politics. No so new-fangled, after all-for. Miss Mills mother, now 87 years of age, was work ing for the cause with Susan B. An thony more than half century ago.

TO BE SEEN AT
 FASHION SHOWS
Gotham Displays Skirts That Are Straight and Short and
 Scant of Material.
SLEEVES TOUCH THE ELBOWS
Arm Covering Sometimes Reaches Hand in Tight-Fitting Manner; Others Are Quite Full
 and Floppy.

Clad in high choker collars of fur and wrapped about with heavy, cold defying wraps, writes a New York fashion correspondent, the models all over town are tripping the platforms of the fashion shows. These parties are for the retail buyers only, but as they think, so shall the country dress, and it is of no little interest to take note of the things to which the buyers give their sanction. Sometimes one wonders why they do it. One can see the woman looking for something she thinks is beautiful, being shown only what the buyer thought was beautiful, dismayed by the thing that confronts her, yet driven to buying and wearing it.
 Some of the gowns being shown are good, but all of them do not keep up to the highest standard. It leads in the direction of ornate decoration, and they are apt to be very bad. The buyers tell you-and they should know that women are asking for all this oversupply of decoration. Perhaps they are.
 Fortunately the general lines of the silhouette are straight and short and simple. In other words, they are very good and susceptible of infinite varia- tions. Long waists predominate, and when they are not long then they are very. very short, giving an extremely youthful look to the frocks which show them. There are no protuberances at the hip lines. Things are uncompro- misingly straight. Some of the skirts, short though they be, tend to hold in about the legs, but most of them are straight and quite scant of material straight and short and tight. That is the slogan that is supposed to gov ern the skirts of this coming season, at least for the fall months. The de velopment of winter will be something else something that develops as the days go on and in the wake of the Paris models which will arrive later.
 Sleeves Are Longer.
 Sleeves. in most of the new gowns have a tendency to fall from their recently established high-water mark. They touch the elbows, they drop be- low that point to a place midway dis tant between the wrist and elbow and sometimes they reach the hand in tight-ftting manner. Some of the sleeves are quite full and f1oppy, grow ing out of a kimono armhole: These are confined at the wrists with tightly fitting cuffs, which are also very mar row and which hug the wrists.
 We are accounted slender nation as far as our women are concerned, but really there is a growing demand for stylish stouts." Most of the model gowns. however, are made originally for stylish thins and the consideration of breadth enters in secondarily and as an safterthought.
 It is interesting to see the new suits which have coats that are much longer than any which have been shown dur

FEMININE NOTES OF INTEREST

Two splendid exercises for the woman who wants to keep 1.-the and straight are to sit on the floor and take hold of the great toe of one foot with the hand on that side without bending the kene, then the other side and then try touching the nose with first one foot and then the other. Both exercises should be practiced very slowly and only for four or five times to begin with.
 Boil or bake your squash with the shell on when preparing 1t for pie, and the contents can be separated from the outside and made ready for the mixture with much less trouble than when one attempts to peel every piece before cooking.
 To prevent the skin from becoming discolored after fall or a blow, take little dry starch, moisten 1t with cold water and lay 1t on the injured part If sweet oil is applied to the skin after blow or bruise it will not discolor at all in some cases, and very little in all cases.

 A strange feature of new wraps is the combination of color and mate rial. A gray and black wool velours model is shown, stitched in gray and trimmed with fur. There is a round ed yoke of black satin and hip inset panels of black satin embroidered in canary yellow wool. Dangling wooden beads fall from the cuffs, belt and col lar.
 Wraps show more plainly than any other garment the gigantic influence of oriental garb, both in color and line

ing the past two seasons. These coats reach the knees or extend below them and, because of the extreme shOrtness of the skirts, there is very little of the latter left to show. Most of these coats are extremely plain in line, and the belts are low. And, with our clever American tailors to do the work, the size of the figure in one way or an. other seems to make no difference. They can achieve that up and down straight line, it seems, no matter how curved their foundation material may be. They are really artists in this way.
 Fur is being used for trimming OH many of the suits and gowns, but from d cursory view of the models which have already been shown it would seem as though this material would be
