Fashion Notes.
THE CLOAK PROBLEM.
A dress is nothing without the right cont to go over it, whether for the day or the evening.
No woman with the right sense of modern clothes "gols a dress without thinking of the coat with which it has to go,
when a woman could buy one coat There may have been a time
for wearing with half-a-dozen frocks, but to-day, apart from the fur coat (and oven then?), no coat can be worn with more than one or at most two dresses if it is to look right.
It is the ensemble idea which has given to the cont its primary im- portance.
Coats for the day are heavily Tweeds and trimmed with far. Jeracy-tweeds have fur collars and cuffs, and sometimes the hem, all trimmed with fur. The collar is as voluminous as
A smart evening ensemble consists of a white chiffon frock and a quaint little collar- less black velvet jacket with white inpin cuffs.
"Ladylike" Styles.
OLD FASHIONED MODES.
Nearly all the new fashions for the winter have now been shown' in Paris. They have been received with mixed feelings by the crowds of smart women buyers from all countries and fashion writers who All the dressmakers' salons ench day.
Even the well-informed women who boast of their ability to tell you months ahead what will be worn, are not a little startled at the turn taken by fashion, for it has quietly slipped back ten yenra.
Everything that is old fashioned is new fashioned again. To begin with, it is said that skirts are going to be very much longer. Nobody cares very much for them, for most of them stop at the very unbecoming point between the knee and the ankle. There is also some dismay at the higher waists, and the blouses now generally seen with tailor-mades, in place, of corsets

There are many ways of draping fur round the neck this senson, all of them irregular, soft, and warm, as well as becoming."
About the hem, fur is laid on in scallops, in sweeping curves, in sections, in points, and always
with an eye to line.

Short-haired furs are mostly used for morning wear and for travellingfurs such as broadtail, astrakhun, wild eat, beaver, nutria, and skunk..
The more fragile furs are kept fox afternoon and evening. Fur coats are cut on the same lines as twee and cloth coats.
Spiral ruffles, and a scarf with a velvet lining, lift this dress into the top realm of fashion.

Evening Elaboration.
The simple lines of the coats fol day wear are not repented in even- ing cloaks, These are cut with no hems, since the edges of every cont are cut to Tall into the draperies of the dress worn with it, and trail away with them wherever they go.
This cut-about hem line has cer- tainly solved the question of the wrap to be worn with the new long-trailing evening dresses. Some dressmakers have made shorter couts and draped them. upwards to the front, but the,
neven hem is better.
With a huge fur collar, a loose- filing coat envelops thie shoulders, and dropa more or less whole.and straight, to below the hips. From there it may be a thing of shreds and tatters, dropping to the heels here, to the knees there, have a straight panel, or a pointed end, be curved or square.
Briefly, it is cut to follow the lines of the skirt, and mingles with them so cleverly that the two be- come one. This means that cloak should be of the same colour as the dress, or form a striking contrast to "it-black on white, white on black, something like that. To make a good clonk or coat, one which perfectly com- plates the dress and makes un én- semble which is satisfying to the eye und easy enough to wear with- "out preoccupation, is to achieve a sartorial triumph, and there is only a small handful of dressmakers capable of doing so.
A minority of womeți of the world only can afford to indulge in them, but what the ordinary woman can do is to pay more attention than formerly to the choosing of the wrap ahe wears in the evening and the couts she wears by day, keeping in mind the beat work she knows,

1 The idea of letter golf is to change ono word to another and do it in par, n given number of strokes. Thus to change COW to EN; in three strokes, COW, HOW, HEW, HEN.
2-You can, change only one letter at a time. →
3. You must have a complete word, of common usage, for each jump. Slang words and abbrevia- tions dont's count.
4-The order of letters cannot be changed.
