Styles for Coming Fall Coats

THE beet selling styles in outer garments for fall win bo coots with full backs and regulation coat fronts. In some Instances these full backs impart the cape idea, while others are much more modified. Some coats have the fullness so arranged as to fall from a square or round yoke; in others the fullness starts from the shoulders. As a rule, however, the belt does not draw in the garment, but simply holds the fullness in place. The full back coat with belt In front is also much in evidence in the new lines and is meeting with favor. In addition to cape effects, a number of coats with short or medium length capes are being shown. These are generally made detachable and can be easily removed.

In France, the cape is the favorite wrap for daytime wear. A very charming model was made of blue serge with a collar of pique quite high in th*

back. But velvet both for capes and for hats is the rage. The cape of velvet has a full collar. Fur is much used as trimming both on gowns and hats. There is a new shade of brown which blds fair to be the coming color. It has been seen a number of times lately. The latest notes of fashion are now received from Deauville, where the season reaches its height in August. Sweaters are worn with white serge skirts, but not the sweaters of last year. Reaching only to the hips, they are of brilliant hue, saffron yellow being most popular; nattier blue and violet are also fayored. These sweaters are either belted in as are the norfolk jackets, or there is a belt of some other material tied at the side front, the ends of which are gathered and finished with a sill? tassel. The cape coat shown in the illustration is a stylish model of black velvet with coachman’s collar of skunk.
