CHIC PARIS WRAP
COatee Considered as Becoming

The smart little coatee' is play

1t is delicious affair, notes a Paris
fashion correspondent, as becoming as
1t is practical; just the thing for
pretty girls and even for their still
pretty mothers.
The little coatee" of today is near
relation of the sac garment. AS a

found on the latest short coatees, I'M

of the more important points of the
straight fur coats are repeated. The

A model was made of the new silk
and wool which is supple as crepe de
chine and produced in the most mar
velOus colOrs. The special model was
carried out in black and white and
the intention was that it should be
worn over either a black or white
skirt.
The coatee, which was really rather
like Russian blouse, was lined and
turned over with black satin. Over
the hips there was a trellis glrdle to

smeaters Show New Lines.

Straight lines predominant in the
sweaters. silk and mohair make at
tractive mixtures with a soft effect.
The mosaic design is employed in many
as a new border around the bottom Of
the sweater. Egyptian figures which
are much smaller than the Faire Isle
design are being shown in many color
combinations, while bidding fair for
greater popularity is the sweater Of
loose knit, giving almost a lace effect.
These are shown in short sleeves with
the round neck, and some with sashes

Helpful suggestion.

Women who wear camisoles and
boomers that slip on with elastic at
the waist usually find the elastic is
stretched and "dead" after the gar
ment has been to the laundry a few
times, and so the best thing is to sew
a hook and eye, or snappers, firmly on
the end of the elastic and remove 1t
before the garment is washed. A safety
pin makes a "beader" that does not
allow the tape to slip while it is put
in.

There is no doubt about the coming
popularity Of little garments of this
order-sOme very much more elabo-

The latest idea is to wed eccentricity
to simplicity. If the skirt be ultra
elaborate the corsage or coatee must
be very simple, and vice versa.
