the figure with the utmost simplicity.
1t is not supposed to be buttoned. Its
collar is shaped to stand high about
the throat, giving that becoming finish
which a coat of this character must
have in order to be really satisfactory.
Its sleeves are fitted at the armholes,
doing away with any bulky effect, and
there is flare at the wrists with just
enough width to bring them in the
bounds of present-day smart fashions.
If a hand-embroidered coat Is out
of the question then there are plenty
to be had, done by machine and as
beautiful as can be. And, If this idea
is not entirely satisfactory, then you
can find other jackets of this same
type merely trimmed with outlines of
embroidery, In less dressy group.
The bloused coat is another type. 1t
is extremely popular, and it has that
informally of appearance which per-
mits 1t to be worn with a separate
dress If that is the way In which you
wish to use 1t. Many of these little
jackets tie at the sides, and they are
not by any means fastened with small
and inconspicuous bows. On the con-
trary, the bows are wide and spread
ing. They are made of stiff taffeta
ribbons, and they have streamers that
reach In many instances to the hem of
the skirt. Indeed, the bow that serves
to tie them into place is considerable
part Of the design of the coat. Still
others are provided with wide belts,
and these usually clasp with orna-
mental buckles at one side.
Many of these little informal coats
are made of silk. 1t can be plain silk
or quilted, but they have taken, in one
form or another, fast hold upon the
interest of America and, developed In
one way or another. the short silk
coat is going to enjoy a season of
great popularity.
Some Retain Peplum.
One nice thing about the silk coat
is that one can wear 1t with soft
draped silk dress with the best effect
in the world. One of these is made of
an almond green silk and is worn with
a putty-colored silk frock. The coat,
then, has a straight little band of a
collar done in silk embroidery. and the
belt is made up Of a wider strip of
the same sort Of decoration. AS the
dress is strictly plain, relying upon its
draped lines for distinction, the coat
supplies the motif of trimming for the
frock and makes of the whole q de-
cidedly interesting costume.
Some of the shorter jackets retain
the peplum and with good effect, but
they must be made of the right ma
terials to give the best satisfaction.
They are more tailored and sporting
in their character, and therefore they
must be made of fabrics suited to this
sort of wear.
One of the newest coats of this type
IS the one made Of suede. 1t is a
charming thing and made its first ap-
pea rance In Paris

bows. They are trying to wrest both
historical and prehistorical secrets
from Mother Earth in the interest of
science. And we oil want to know
how old man is, at what stage of the
evolution of the modern animal world
he put in an appearance. and what

One of the pet theories of the pale
ontologists is that Asia is the mother
of continents" and the cradle of life
on this globe. DR.. Henry Fairfield Os-
born, director of tho American Mu-
scum of Natural History, put forward
this hypothesis in 1900. He based
1t on the fact that two great deposits
of the remains Of animals at the dawn
period of mammalian life on the
northern hemisphere have been found
at widely separated points-one In
Europe. the other in the American
Rockies. He reasoned that these anil
mails could not have originated where
tho remains were found, else they
would have spread westward and east
ward respectively. His conclusion
was that they must have originated at
some halfway spot on the other side
of the globe. That is why the third
Asiatic expedition of the museum is
now In the Cobb desert in Mongolia In
search of the paleontologic garden of
Eden and the missing link"
Luck plays its part In this business
of wrestling secrets from the earth
with a shovel, just as 1t does In poll

The plated skirt is the natural ac-

them, but the plaits serve the purpose
satisfactorily. They seem to blend
