I PERSONALS

Fitted Lines Are Fashion's Dictum For Mens Coats UY SO D. O'XYM. Overheard at the races Thursday, the speaker evidently being a bride: !I am getting a great deal of amusement out of the interest my husband shows in women's clothes. He makes the funniest comments. He even reads some of the fashion notes in the paper and measures up the remains of my trousseau to them! I suppose he is being initiated into an entirely new field of observations; he hasn't any sisters, bo of course he knew nothing abount girls' clothes before." I have a sneaking feeling that there are plenty of men who aren't grooms any more who take smuggled glances at the fashion note Judging from the self-conscious way in which some of them juggle tho correct vorbiige of femnine fashions. There are really some very interesting things that might he said concerning the variations in men's fashions, too. that are thoughtlessly neglected things that HLs Highness would doubtless like to know. Take the matter of winter overcoats, for instance. In line, there will be a marked change with a tendency toward the fitted coat, according to a man who has been head of the coat department for years in one of our f"outh Bend stores. The balmacan has been retired though it casts Its shadow behind in some of the seamless styles of the winter. The great difference is in the sleeve which is no longer raglan. Some of the coats still have a tendency to flare, but the twobutton, double-breasted semi-fit coat Is better. Another mark of the season is the lack of linings. Very few of the men's coat3 are lined and they make a much more sightly garment than the doublelined coats of the old days, with their awkward bulk and straight lines. As for materials, they are confined to the Eiyslans and vicunas of English make, the Shetlands of Scotland, the Kerseys. Meltons and Montagnacs and the Crombies. The last named is an imported cloth and is shown only in the more exclusive models from $40 on up. It is heavy and has a long nap as soft as silk. The Kersey, too, is soft, but not quite so as the Cromble. The others are more decidedly rough, especally the Shetland, which is, well shaggy. It seems to me that this season is remarkable for the reasonableness of women's suits. In both style and price. They are conservative in line and in color and in dollars and cents. One store is showing this week a line of beauMful sample suits and when you get a sample suit you know no one else in town will have another like it at from $14.75 to $39.75, with a long range of intermediate prices that just about covers the range of pocketbooks. The more expensive ones are of kitten's ear cloth and broadcloth with "Draid and fur trimmings and satin linings. Some of the most exclusive models show decidedly Russian lines, more so than the designs shown earlier in the" season. The skirts of those coats were pleated to give the f.illness; these are circular. The less expensive suits are in whipcords and serges, though of course these materials are not confined to this merchandise. Some very good-looking, mannish suits in novelty cloths are shown for $15. Satin, by the way, and all "shlmmery' cloths are to be much better than taffeta later on. The inclination is shown in some good looking separate skirts of black satin, shirred with a high belt and clever little full pockets. They are only $3.98, too. This is the season when we begin to take to high shoes the more cautious of us, that is. So of course we are interested in shoe styles and shoe prices. The gypsy boot, with the seam from top to toe, though Just a fad, will probably be good all winter in black and colors. As for prices, did you ever wonder why some dealers cling can afford to cling to low prices when they make the highest claims for their stock? I have, and I asked a dealer, who knocks $1 to $1.25 off the ordinary price, how he can afford to do it, and he told me it is because he takes advantage of the market. He buys when and where he can get the best stock for less money and if he gets them for less money, of course he can sell them for less money and not because they are poorer grade.
