(crjme jje WOuld not work and that have made the past fashion season a success. Let's take a glance at those newer styles which are making their appearance now. To begin with, the coat dress Is surely going to be popular. Then there are some coat (rocks which have straight and quite tightly fitting skirts. 8ome of these are tucaed in rows of tiny tucks horizontally and others of them use the same arrangement of pin tucks to extend perpendicularly. The colli..-a on these dresses are usually of the shawl variety, folding In surplice fashion over a lace underhodice or showing undar their rolling collars frills of coffeecolored lace that folds in Interestingly with the line of the bodice section. The sleeves are fitted into armholes that follow the lines of the figure closely or else the armholes are squared off In that manner wnlch has distinguished some of the best looking of the street frocks. Then the sleeves extend In a fitted line to the wrists, at which point they are apt to flare slightly either by means of applied flounces matching those upon the skirt In many cases, or with shaped lower sections that merge into large pocket effects and extend again over the hands In quite tight cuff arrangements. But often the only divergence of the extreme stralghtness of the silhouette comes in the manner of shaping the cuffs to give that slight flare and Interruption of the straight* ness of the line. • most successful coat dress for the late summer Is made of striped flannel, the wide striplngs being cut to run crosswise of the garment. The dress Is perfectly plain, closing at the side in a straight line to the neck, where a white flannel turn-over collar does everything there Is in the way of trimming with the exception of a repetition of the same idea.

Coat Dreaa in the New Design, Witn Skirt and 8leeves Illustrating the Latest 8ilhouettai and some of them are appearing In lightweight serges which have a certainty of style about them that is lovely to behold. They are simple wraparound affairs, with every line of grace about them and with the very last degree of efficiency reached in their design. They hook with one large clasp over one hip. That Is all the trouble they go to. Building the Coat Dress. A coat dress, when It Is of the handsomest variety. Is lined throughout with satin or soft crepe. Its skirt folds over, one side above the other, leaving the under portion with so much stuff and so ^much fullness that It covers the figure completely. As for skirts, they are built wholly to suit the lines of the individual figure, though the tiered variety can be said to hold sway for those who are tall and* slender enbugh ^either by nature or good corseting to allow them to the crosswise trimming. Alpaca Has Gained Fever; Alpaca Is another of these new summer materials that has grown fn favor through the hot months. It was launched In Paris in the spring, and (he early reports from fall showings of Parisian dressmakers seem to show that the stuff has, If anything, gained in favor. The dresses of heavy, flat crepe are the ones that hold the attention of the shopper just now. They come in so well for just this between-season wear und they are bound to last through a whole winter and Into the following spring. If they are happily and wisely chosen. The crepe is so soft and becoming In line that It will never cease to be a favorite with women who know how to dress really smartly and who know how to get the best effect out of the clothes they choose as their own. One crepe dress goes such a long way that It cannot be disregarded In the planning of a wardrobe, and usually there Is no better time to Invest in one than between summer and fall, when the designers' attention Is just naturally given to this sort of thing. Printed crepes, so say the cables from Paris, are to continue in favor with the couturiers over there. That Is a signal, then, for us to go ahead and wear them with utter abandon, for they will be bound to last for several seasons more if they are well done and conform to the demands of the individual figure. One of these in a new design is in tones of tan and green, with spots of black scattered through the patterning. Then the plaited cape reaching over the shoulders is made of tan chiffon, with an edging of black ribbon to tl it In color to the gown's foundation print.

And any woman who knows anything at all about fashion realizes that a hat of this informal shaping can be becoming under circumstances when anything else would be distinctly trying. Plain velvet tams are all the rage, and the beauty of them is that they look well with light summer dresses, again with sport clothes, and for the early fall suit there can be nothing more becoming. Some of them have no trimming at all. Others have beaded or embroidered ornaments set high on me side of the front, while the opposite backward portion of the hat 's pulled far down over the head and hair. Another good model has a stiff taffeta or satin or moire bow jutting out from the right side back and falling down over the shoulders In a graceful line. This Is an Interesting trimming to use when you, ere not wearing a fur, for the plain spaces of the neck are in that way given a background and an artful setting. Even the plain and untrimmed tan has a way of surrounding the face and head with a halo which is more the desired frame for the face than can be suppUed by any other sort of headgear. t Velvet for Coatees. Velvet coatees and sleeveless Jacquettes are worn by many of the smartly gowned women at fashionable resorts. White, gray and fallow shades are popular velvet Jacquette colors used with plaited skirts of crepe de chine of matching shade. Many Jacquettes use a ribbon binding $# finish. Veils Trim Hats. *' The small hat really requires a fancy veil and this season these accessories come In endless variety. A most delightful one Is In fine black mesh embroidered In beige. The embroidery forms a square over the crown of the hat and the border of beige falls In graceful folds over the face and shoulder, v . . " ---------- l iving Room Should Not Be (Overcrowded One of the most significant changes In American family life Is the passing of the old-fashioned parlor and the place given to the living room In the scheme of the home, says the Milwaukee Sentinel. With the change comes the need of a plian of the living room to make the most of it It Is here that I the family gathers, that guests are received, that impressions of the family Ufa are given out and taken in. In considering the arrangement of the living room, one danger of Its success should be guarded against--that of overcrowding. It Is rarely necessary in the present vogue of overstuffed furniture to place in the rotom more than the usual overstuffed pieces and a- table, preferably the long davenport style--two small lamps for the table and one floor lamp--though there Ic little probability of having too many lamps. In most of homes overstuffe<| furniture easily leads In favor. Its luxurious comfort, compared" wl'u cane and mahogany. Is beyond question Coloring and harmony may be carried out to fit any scheme of decoration The subdued tones of tapestry fabrics which often are used In over stuffed pieces are far superior to thla respect to the velours sometimes used, while the wearing qualitlea of tapeairy are far better. Two-tone effects are favored. They lend themselves admirably to m«nj deeotatlve schemes. Color Adds 8martn<ia/.. .

The rubber plant was returned to Its rightful owner, Mrs. Emma McSaveny, of Brooklyn. Mrs. McSaveny, possibly touched by the taking of the plant from her home, refused to prosecute Martin for petit larceny. Whether touched by the spectacle of love or not, certainly she was touched for the plant. The Judge, hearing Martin's endearing phrases of "Nice lil (hlc) rubber tree! I love 111 (hlc) rubber trees," said Martin was Intoxicated. Martin admitted he was Intoxicated with love. He also didn't mean by enunciating haltingly the formerly well-known word "hie" that in any sense his rubber tree was a hick rub* ber tree. He also denied that his penchant for rubber trees was stimulated by his being a participant In playing rubbers of bridge or that he might have been a rubber In a Turkish bath.
