Modes of the Moment.

LONG COATS ARE FAVORED

The coats of spring may be either long or three-quarter length, but for general wear the long coat is the favorite. If you are looking for novelty la a coat of this kind consider the advantage of the shapely model shown above. It has a triple cape collar and an odd new arrangement of sash ends at the sides. They are cut in one with a narrow band extending across the back and front. The coat hangs almost straight its fullness held In by a narrow belt.

W0 may go to what lengths we will la coats Of taffeta—there is plenty of silk within reach and, so far, no ban on using it A handsome long coat of gracious cut and graceful lines is Shown In the picture, embellished with a rich embroidery which is put on in bands across the wide collar and about the Bides and back above the hem. In the back It conceals Its fullness by deep inverted plait, but lu the front scorns to dissemble a»d Is frankly full.

IN SATIN AND CRBPE

SIMPLE BUT INGENIOUS COAT

Every one of the now coatings for spring will look well made up in this simple but chic and ingenious style. At the waist and neck it has the raised lines that prove becoming and are feature in this season's styles. A belt of the cloth across the back eontlues the box plaits to the figure- and three buttons prove sudicient as a finishing touch to the cui'l's,

LOVELY FROCK OF GEORGETTE

Win-rover she elects to wear this charming afternoon dross, its owner may do so with the comfortable feeling that it Is a work of art. It will not suffer by any sort of comparison, being both beautiful and up to date. Twice it alarms its allegiance to the tunic; once in a loug-over skirt and again in the limine. 1 with deep tucks over the hips and at the back. An applique of satin, outlined with embroidery in a braid pattern challenges our admiration. It is u new idea adapted with cleverness to a beautiful a;ad useful gown.
