KEEP TO THE LOOSE LINES

New Coats Designed for Blim Figures, “Much as Are All the Prevailing Fashions.

To give even a more careless outline to the figure, there are new coats that hang from the shoulders to hips with slight fulness. They follow the line of the shoulder, but of no other part of the figure, and the long loose sleeves usually run to a point at the neck line. They are not the elephant’s * ear sleeve which some of the coats carry aswell as many of the bodices, but they are loose enough to follow the general suggestion of the coat. One of the newest varieties of this jacket has a thick cable'’ cord run through the fullness about an inch bolow the waits line. The cord does not attempt to draw in the fullness or outline any curve of the figure; it is merely an ornament, and as Buch it should receive its due value. A dark blue suit, for instance, has a deep,red cord tied in front with two tasseled ends; a black suit has a dark blue ■cord. It takes a slim figure to wear this new jacket, but why make that bromtdlo statement? It begins and ends every fashion discussion.
