WHEN COAT MATCHES FROCK
One of the most interesting long black velvet coats of the moment has huge upper sleeves, severely pleated so that they stand well away from the sides, and an im- portant collar of mink. Its close tting bodica fastens down the cen- tre front, and the long, slim fit ting skirt is slightly trained at the back. It was designed for a very simple dress in exceedingly supple black velvet, with a rather high, Cros-Over decolletage in front and a square cut down to the waistline at the back.
An equally interesting, but very different, coat is made of the same ribbed white and green crêpe as the dress it belongs to. It hangs quite losely all the way round, is three-quarter length has a huge rall collar of mink, and very deep
lbow cuffs of the same fur.

Pale gray is prettiest when the grey shoes are mixed with black pateat. TURQUOISE and black are among
the new alliances, and this difficult colour is at its best with the sable hue. Many sports suits, in black wool have tops of bino ungern of the tone of the Mediterranean Sen. Peach is an easier shade for

Curls can still be there, but they must be kept close to the head when they are an alternative to that popular swirl that fits in so admirably with the schema of small heals, shown in the millinóry of the day."
ON DRESSING UP
There is an almost eighteenth- century vogue for dreasing-up at route and carnival. Sometimes, it. is true, girls merely go as men, but, far more often balls are Spanish or Turkish, while parties include fancy dress to a marked extant,
In real life the habit of make- on takes one back to the eighteenth century, and with the widespread dyeing of hair one wonders where i will stop in the more real part of lifa. Most girls are at least a slightly different colour from that bestowed upon, thein by nature, even if it is only a question of lips, and hair is more frankly arti- ficial even, than the powdered wig, since it stimulates nature without the slightest pretenes of being an- tural. It was but a step for dress to follow suit, and even everyday dress has a tendency to emulate. uniforms or periods.
