PARIS, Noaber. 19th. Nothing looks reater or more in good taste for wear when lunching out than the three-piece costume. In cloth, velvet, moirs or satin fulgurante, it looks equally well. Black or navy blue are the two shade chosen for preference, a bright note being added, if necessary, by a hat pin, a drooping father, the fiaing of the brim of the hat, bow triranings, or a nar row bandeau. The gloves, handbag and even the umbrells should all tono in with Instead of the principal colour-cheme, odhering rigorously to the idea of colour in the ensemble, gloves can be of white or grey and show stitchings or a lining of colour to the gauntlet cuff..

Although it is still somewhat early in the season, fur coats are invariably worn ix the evening. In the day-time the three-quarter coat of silk or cloth does duty for a wrap, even if it does sot specially belong to the dress worn beneath it Coats of this type have proved to be so becoming to the majority of women that they have completely ousted the cape from its high pinnacle of pupular favour, It is rarely seen now; when it doas make
