F. Metcali WIDE RANGE IN COATS FROM LIGHT AND FANCIFUL TO - MOST SEVERELY MANNISH. All, However, Have a Certain Similar ity Which ls Demanded by Fashion -Wide Shoulders and Straight Sleeves Imperative. The new 45-inch coats range from fanciful attars of light color, with trimmings of silk and oriental embroi dery-coats designed for short spins about town or out to the country club -to more practical models, built of mannish worsteds, with correctly tailored detail. Even the latter are more or less trimmed with huge but tons, cord loops, eccentrically shaped collars and sectional belts across back or front A certain air of smart ness is imparted to the garment by oddly placed seams, piped or arranged in slot effect. The dropped shoulder bas replaced the raglan design, so fashionable last season, and while very loose and almost baggy across the top, the modern motor wrap in variably tapers iDward toward the bot tom, wrapping the knees closely over the narroy skirt beneath. A particu larly popular model of this type, made of Lil wool Berge, had double revers, the larger ones extending to the low front fastening, of black and white striped or checked worsted, while Navy Blue Silk and Rubber. smalier revers and a collar of faille Bilk appeared on the revers of worst ed.

Deep shoulder-pointea numbers continue in the lead. Cream batiste of the sheerest quality beautifully embroidered, with fine hemstitching and dainty beadings and laces, are used in the development of the fore most models. Cream batiste is also used in some of the handsomest, flat collars with jabots. The collar por tions follow largely the deep shoul der point idea and the jabots are of conservative size and style. Flat pleated jabots are especially liked. Net, figured and dotted crepes, plain and fancy voiles and crepe de chine are among the other prominent mate rials employed. Rage for Cerise. Four out of every five smart women are wearing cherry color, a tint that has been fashionable for over a year, and yet. maintains its popularity. It is worn with almost any color. For instance, a blue silk gown in a shade approaching the well-known "royal" has a wide sash of cerise ribbon, and with it a dark-haired girl would wear a cherry colored band in the hair. On the other hand, a pale blue skirt and a heliotrope evening bodice have also a cherry colored band, and no violence ls done to the vision of the spectators by combining these three emphatic H?T AND COATEE TO MATCH Old-Fashioned Chintz Designs Ara Used for Transparent Wraps, V.'ith "Picture Hats."

TAKE UP THREE-PIECE SUITS j In the Same Material or in Combina tion of Two Silks They Are Equally Popular. According to a statement made by { the Dry Goods Economist, the vogue ! for garments of the dressier type is ! nc doubt responsible for the interest j recently shown in three-piece suits. Up lo the present time the majority ! of these three-piece suits have been j made up in silks or high-class novelty j worsteds Silks have been particularly good ? and many smart three-piece suits ol moire, faille, poplin, charmeuse and j brocade arp now being shown, as well ! as a combination of two silks, such J as moire and faille, brocade and faille, ! etc. Although some three-piece suits ' hsve been brought out tc retail at a moderate price, very little attention I has bren given to cheaper grades. ; This is because houses that are able ? io turn out a good popular-priced tailored suit seldom have an or ganization that is capable of making an equally attractive dress and vice ' versa. MADE TO SUIT ALL COSTUMES Waists of Various Materials Intended to Complement the Skirt With Which Tney Arr Worn. The waists now being featured foi wear with tailored suits are, accord ing to the Dry Goods Economist, made of matching chiffon, crepe d? chine, satin or messaUne.

PRETTY HAT Black straw forms this wide brimmed hat. The trimming ie com posed of blue velvet ribbon, which is pleated round the crown. A velvet rose at the front competes the trim ming. Substitutes for Muslin. It looks as though the dr.y of mus lins for underwear was on the de crease simply because crepe de chine, Chinese silk, Italian silk and mercer ized knitting serve to keep the figure more slender than any fabric which holds starch. Women who do not care to be lavish in their lingerie adopt combinations that are cut off at the knees and the bust and have the flat shoulder straps msjde from wash rib bon; these are inexpensive and do not add much to the laundry bill. Italian silk ls expensive, but it ta one of the most pleasant fabrics to wear that has been invented for worn-. en's convenience. It also washes eas-; Hy and wears well and does not add; to the thickness of the figure by a frac-j tion of an inch, I
