AFTERNOON COAT FOR WEAR OVER BRIDGE GOWNS. The dainty costumes for afternoon Indoor wear require some more ample covering than even a loose fur coat, which is apt to crush delicate draperies and trimmings. Even the more substantial little dresses of satin or permo are better protected by a loose, graceful carriage cloak like the one pictured. The material used for f his coat is fawn-colored broadcloth, the embroidery being in sdf tone. Between, the light blue satin brocade lining and the fawn cloth is a line of golden brown velvet, and the clasp which fastens the garment is of dull gilt and topaz.

FADS AND FASHIONS New York, Jan. 21. The French ten- refused to adopt extreme models along dency toward narrowing the shoulders, that line. American dressmakers say flattening the bust and broadening the there has been much protest against wajst has its influence upon the silhou- the pinched in shoulder line, and that f"1 here but only in comparatively in coying or altering French models fl- cases, as the majority of the well- they have usually been asked to devise dressed women in this country have someway of widening the shoulders.

A familiar way of achieving this narrow line-without the awkward narrowing of seams on the shoulder is the cutting of shoulder and sleeve or sleeve cap in one so that the line is unbroken.

though there is no extending fulness

at the shoulder point. This compromise

has resulted in a much modified version of the Japanese sleeve, the wideness of the Japanese armhole being in most cases eliminated, the sleeve being made comparatively close, but the unbroken line and slight drapery movement around the armhole being retained. The advent of the short coat, the belted blouse, the girdled bodice and the more closely fitted costume coat will

help to bring the silhouette back to better proportions. The very smartest of the late season costume coats in Paris are unquestionably shortened and in suits being made for the Riviera this tendency is emphasized, as is the blouse idea. Belting or some employment of braiding giving much the same effect as belting is also noticeable upon a considerable proportion of these costumes for the south, which, while only tentative guesses at the modes that

spring will bring forth, do show what the authoritative French makers consider spring probabilities. ' The bodice and skirt arrangements which are in -the majority just now, though usually the two are attached to each other under the girdle so that the frock is to all intents and purposes an one-piece affair, are much more easily handled than "the genuine one-piece designs and the home dressmaker will be thankful for their retunr. ' Of course, there are still many charming models draped all in one piece, and tunic arrangements which present a continuous line from bust to knees or lower; but the girdled model is in its own way quite as modish and a large percentage of- the latest models from the gnat French houses are of this type. Therefore this easier arrangement may be resorted to without the. feeling that it involves a departure from the ac

cepted lines. It is true that only an artist could successfully achieve many of the models from the famous makers in Paris, but on the other hand there lias seldom been a time when smartness could be achieved with less inspired ability on the part of the maker,' provided the woman ordering the frock has taste, a fine sense of color and a thorough understanding of the limitations of her figure.

Among the models displayed by one of the fashionable shops is a frock of mousseline de sole turned out by one of the famous Parisian designers. The

under-robe is of the plain mousseline

the corsage and overskirt are of mousseline of the same colors; sprinkled

with little gold paillettes; but there are innumerable sheer materials which might be used for the same model. A satin under-rob and over-dress of mousseline or chiffon on any sheer soft stuff would work out well in this model, and for that matter the whole frock mav be of th nnc fhor material with -

again the under robe may be of sheer white or color and the over-dress of the same sheer, stuff but In another olor, producing ' a harmonious veiled color scheme. Suits of heavy corded silk are rivaling the ever-popular velvet costumes. These new and lovely creations are trimmed with fuf. The coats are quite short. One of these cuffs being of Persian lamb. With it was carried an inft mense muff of the same fur. This muff, by the way, was long and very narrow. The military note is strong among the street costumes of Paris. The two and three-cornered hats of Napoleon made their way first, and then followed

an manner of garments carrying tne insignia of battle, or least of standing armies. Soldier clothes are at their best in cloth, although the velvet costume has borrowed a gay trapping now and then. The court suit glitters with gold frogs and brass buttons, and the one-piece frock has an one-sided martial fastening. The fur coat ha taken on regimental lines, and the military i cape is found in evening materials for the opera and in cravenetted surface for stormy winter days. Skirts that are reminiscent of the days of 1SS0 are being sohwn by some of the best modistes. They are plaited and draped and give fulness against which the Parisian women will undoubtedly rebel. Belts for street costumes are" very wide and have large buckles. . Imitation gems are frequently used on them. FLORENCE FAIRBANKS.

Freedom from accident can be assured only by having a thoroughly competent man to steer and manage the craft. Unfortunately the expert ice yacht handler Is extremely scarce The tiller

man must have the keenest of eyes, the coolest of heads, the strongest of nerves and the steadiest of hands. The ice yacht is like nc other craft, so It requires a specialist to get good results One ot the peculiarities of ice yachting is that these croft are nver sailed directly before the wind When going

The general opinion prevail that the iceboat Is purely an American invention, but Europe was its birthplace. The ancient home of the iceboat was Holland, its particular habitat being the river Meuse. The old species widely differed In every respect from its modern descendants. It resembled an ordinary rowboat. and It rested on two transverse timbers to "vhlch on

$7.50 FOR FIRST FIGHT.

Sum Jim Jeffries Received For Beating Rival In 1887. "Jeffries will give Johnson a worse beating than he did that boy from whom he won his first fight down in Los Angeles in 18S7, when he scored In

tfcree rounds and carried home a purse of $7.50. His next fight may take longer, but it will net him possibly 10.000 times more money." This is the opinion of John Webb, a business man of Spokane, Wash., until recently of Butte. Mont., and before that a resident of Lo8 Angeles, who claims to be the pugilistic father of the ex-boilermaker. "Jeff demurred at first when we invited him to the boxing club for a tryout with some of the boys," Webb continued, "but he was finally prevailed upon for a go' and won easily."

JEFF MORE TALKATIVE. No doubt you have noticed that James J Jeffries has added another accomplishment to his repertory. The powerful fellow is becoming quite a speechmaker. Time was when Billy Delaney had to go to the front and remark: "Mr Jeffries isn't a talker. He thanks you for your kind reception and says that he will ever fight to win." However, in recent one night stands Jeffries chatted over 150 words without a halt His subject 1s. of course, the big mill. Jeffries has prepared a redhot roast and delivers it, nightly. Striking Johnson's home town. Galveston.Tex.. Jeff rapped the colored man for his pesterings. Geese sang a chorus of derision at the finish, but Jeffries only smiled a reply.
