The coat dress has long been a ris-
ing factor in the wardrobe of the
American woman. Those who have
worn them have loved them dearly,
have known that dresses of this gen
eral character could not be duplicated
In any way. But their champions have
been few and far between until the
coming Of the present season. Now,
observes fashion correspondent In
the New York Times, it looks very
much as though the coat dress Will
lead them all.
For the spring season especially 1t
has many attributes 1t is warm
enough without being too warm. 1t has
the chic of a certain tailoring without
being of too hard and fast a tailor's
rule. 1t is trim looking, and, above all,
1t is so perfectly suited to all of the
city outdoor activities which are so
prevalent at just this season.
Then, there are many and various
materials from which the coat dress
can be made. 1t is as good in twill
az 1t is in duvetyn. 1t is excellent
finest expressions in some of the
heavier silks. In fact, it offers the
well dressed woman an opportunity
to show her talent for dressing without
any exterior coverings to mar the
general effect
AS the openings of American design
ers show their newer creations to the
world, more and more of this type Of
street frocks are to be seen, and from
the enthusiasm of the women who
are looking at them with a view to
buying there seems to be no doubt
that they will be eminently successful.
Does Not Require Tailor.
The coat dress is something which
does not necessarily require tailor to
make satisfactorily. 1t is a dress which
a clever dressmaker can do quite as
well, and for that reason, 1t is often
more becoming than the tailored suit
of harder lines and more visible stitch
ing. Also the fabrics for coat dress
being of the softest possible texture,
they then fall more closely in harmony
with the lines of the figure and help
a woman to appear at her most grace
full best.
There is a coat dress made of satin
and duvetyn, the upper section being
composed of the former material and
the lower of the latter. Then you can
see at glance how cleverly the ends
of the full, pulled sleeves have been
handled in order to repeat the heavier
fabric there and to carry out the sim
plicity of the design of the coat. The
color of this particular coat dress was
dark blue, the upper section being of
that same tone. Then the satin Of
that bodice portion was carried down
underneath the skirt section to make
its lining. The lining was carried out
to the very edge, so that when the
skirt of the dress bobbed back and
forth as it's wearer walked along the

street there appeared now and again
that shiny CLINT of the satin that gave
the frock lightness and ease and a
decided gracefulness.
The neck of this dress is one of
those exaggerated bateau lines that
are allowed to stand straight around
the throat. And in this case the satin
is faced with the duvetyn, which
gives, at that point, just little variety
of quality without in any way sug-
costing trimming. In fact, the only
attempt at getting away from the
solidity Of two materials is when the
buttons, only two in number, are
added. They are of distinctly shiny
dark blue composition, which adds
variety Of tone and a finish which
happens to be just right.

HEALING WOUNDS
IN STEEL INGOTS
Frenchnaan Has Perfected Ma
chine That Is Really Marvel OF
Inventive Ingenuity

Very remarkable indeed is a ma
chine set up in France for making re-
pairs to airplanes, remarks the Wash
ington Star. This machine is said to
be the only one of its kind, and is due
to the ingenuity of Gustave Rabin. 1t
may be described as a device for caus-
ing wounded steel" to heal" itself in
something like the way that wounded
flesh heals.
The device is almost automatic, Is
operated by electricity and is based
upon the galyanic principle. 1t needs
only one or two men to watch it, they
being guided by a chart, showing in
many colors the piece of metal to be
repaired, thes exact repairs necessary,
the composition of the galvanic bath,
the current needed, the diameter of
the conducting wires and the time OF
immersion. All this is worked out
mathematically to the minutest frac-
ton.
The machine is employed to restore
worn or broken Earts of delicate mo-
tors, most of which are difficult to re-
place. When an American observer
saw it there were lying on table be-
side it parts it had just repaired
which would have cost $4,000 and
much time to replace. In the week
previous it had turned out 800 pieces,

Fish Eradicates Scarlet Fever.

The Mexican version of "have you
little fairy in your home is "have
you little fish in your homer"
This arises from the use of a pecu-
liar fish, OF the mammalian species,
that eats the mosquitoes and ''wig-
glers" in water, thus preventing the
spread Of yellow fever. All bodies Of
water in the city are stocked with the
fish, which are provided by health au-
thorities. In this way the mosquitoes
are kept down and yellow fever al
most eradicated.
