coat is a special part Of the gown.
Then the dress is so made that 1t con-
forms nicely with the coat, which sets
the tone of the garment. Again fur Is
used In wide bands on the coat so that
II almost covers the length Of that
part of the costume. If the idea Is
lavish one, there will be wide band
Of fur about the bottom of the skirt,
and altogether the gown looks as
though 1t were some handsome sort
Of an outdoor wrap with all the ele.
ments of warmth and cozlness In its
makeup. When the little short wrap
Is thrown aside there is disclosed the
softest, sweetest sort of frock With
chiffon sleeves and all sorts of grace
fulness which mad been hidden under
the thickness of the coat.
Not ali Of the coats are short, OF
course, but very many of them are, as
the short coat is one of the features
of the season. 1t has so many de-
signs and II is made out of so many
materials that it offers that possibility
of variety which is ever a lure for the
modern woman who wishes to be well
dressed.
On looking into the possibilities of
the costume suit as related to your
own figure, and the requirements
which you will have to consider. you
will find that there are as many speci-
mems of the short coat as there ever
have been of any expression of fash
ion. In fact, this little garment has
come forward in so many styles that
II fascinates because 1t can be done In
so many different ways.
Short Coat Is colorful.
The short coat, too, can be colorfui
and may be made TO break that
straight line Of color which the one ma
terial makes impossible.
AS an illustration If the short coat
of a different color there is one
made from wool velours. one Of
the very newest Of materials. 1t
is loosely fitted, with sleeves that
are wide all the way from the
shoulders to the wrists, and II has an
opening which slants from one
shoulder to the opposite hip in the
most picturesque manner The idea
of this suit is an original one. The
coat is made from q material in two
tones of rich. warm brown, one shade
being brocaded on the other so that It
becomes impossible to tell where one be-
gins and the other ends. That is the art
of modern weaving come to delight the
world of dress. The coat is lined with
q silk velours. In one OF the lighter
shades OF. brown, verging almost to
tan. 1t shows at the front where the
coat opens at intervals, then turns over
to make the stiff standing collar which
gives a good deal of charm to the cos.
tune and a ray OF becomingness which
could not very well be acquired In any
other way.
The dress is made of the material
that lines the coat. 1t is a simple af
fair, one OF those French wrapped
| dresses that folds about the form and
| ties with q narrow belt, the whole side
being left open to show at the hem
that divergent line which gives 1t much

trimming is bow OF fur at the point
where the coat closes and meets the
skirt. When the whole Of the dress Il
disclosed TO view, 1t develops that II Il
trimmed at the neckline and some
where about the sleeves with bands Of
the same fur.
II makes harmonious sort of gar
ment, and 1t certainly has all the style
that could be desired by the most par
ticular woman. Moreover. 1t Is 81
constituted that 1t will be acceptable
for many occasions during the day, ant
will always. from earliest morning
until late at night, carry with It al
air of smartness. II Is fashionable II

most interesting as a truly feminine ex
