JJxlremcly smart this season ore evening even-ing coats of brocude and velvet, and ag-un the heavy satin must be included. These follow the narrow lines of the- gown jnd arc rather extreme and severe, but be it remembered always that while the back of the garment may be narrow, the fronts must Ixr wide cnou;h to fasten over. Heavy fur trimmings are re ciired for these coats, but it is not demanded that the must expensive kind be used. They must be effective and the brocaded material ma-terial of the coat must also be eltVr-tive in coloring and design. Velvet brocade is the more effective, as the design stands out in holder r-l i- " from the back ground. PI nifl COW.V OP STKIf KD CHlFFiN AND KiicaoiuKato satin. ,' ' ' ;i !
