Little Taffeta Coats.

Separate coats of taffeta are worn. Some are hardly more than little matinees in white, orchid, pale bine, pink and maize. They are loosely cut and are a little longer at the back than in front. They are trimmed^with bands of marabou, sometimes in one broad band or in two narrow ones. There is a coat consisting of five or six layers of taffeta arranged ou a background of the same. Each layer is circular shape and overlaps the one next in order. The neck is high at the back and finished with a ruching, at the base of -which is placed a band of ostrich feathers of the taffeta color.
