HnHt i Where Parlslenno and American Agree HJBR ' It may safely bo said that the capo Bmat'- oat Is ono of this winter's greatest successes. It Is much favored by both the Parlstenno and tho American. Ameri-can. A most Interesting capo from i'remat Is gray velours do Inlne, and tho lining, which Is sntln, exactly matches tho cloth In color. This coat has practically two capes, as tho large collar forms a short shoulder capo at tho back. Tho largo capo extends la a point nt tho back. It falls to with In six or eight Inches from tho bottom bot-tom of tho coat Another model shows tho short capo which Jenny bangs from tho top of high muffling collars of fur attached to suit jackets. In this Instance the capo Is of bluo serge, while tho collar Is of seal. This cape covers tho back only. It docs not extend over tho shoulders, as many do. A coat from Lunvln fenturcs tho long capo back which Is almost tho entire length of tho coat. A soft slindo of gray duvctyn was chosen for this model. There aro trimming bands of green nppllqtio embroidery down hnfh alf!o nt thn frvmt. ntun ilnpti bands of tho embroidery on tho full sleeve. Cape BacK Effects Feature 8ult Tho platted capo back, almost In tho form of a panel, Is novel but not likely to find tho favor that the plain cape backs have. Somo of tho best French makers feature tho capo back of fur, not only on long coats but on short box coats, making theso capo backs tho same length as tno coat it-tolf. it-tolf. Tho capo back effect on suits is also a noted feature. Ono very ut tractlvo model of bluo sorgo has a high moleskin collar, from tho back of which hangs a capo reaching to just below the waistline, while (ho actual Jacket, of box cut, falls straight to tho hlpllno and Is embroidered around the hem with gold and royal bluo threads. Tho coat fastens with two buttons Just' below tho high fur collar, nnd again with two buttons at tho bottom,. Another Interesting model Is of i bncco brown duretyn. with the enpo I back cut in ono with tho sleeves. Tills I capo Is edged with n two-Inch band J of nppllqtio embroidery, tho embroidery em-broidery ngoln appearing down th 1 Hides of tht coat Itself. Heritage of the Middle Anes A second typo of topcont Is thai In which the mojon-ngo effect Is earned out. Theso are of long, straight cut. 1 sometimes with n bodice part hanging straight to Just ahovu tlio knees. This very long-walsted effect, with tho upper part of tlio gnimont hnng-Ing hnng-Ing straight, appears to be ono of the essential features of this winder's clothes. It tins not been carried out, however, In such n marked way in coats, ns tho means of embodying It In a coat presented considerable d Much) Mu-ch) ly. It was thought nt first that what was rtillutilo for a dress was not always nduptablo In a coat. Now that coats have become so close rtkln to frocks, the chnraclorlstlcs of om belong quite ns much to tho othct. Ono Flench coat shows a full flount gathered to tho upper portion at this point, thus forming tho tower part of tho cont. Tho fluunro Is cut nt Intervals Inter-vals In flshbono shape to show vclvot underneath, the coat Itself being of cloth, Tho long coats shown by Jenn aro of straight cut nnd In most Instance hnve tho belt, or semblance of a belt, placed nt a low walstllno. This model Is dovoloped In navy blue clours do lalno trimmed with bands of royal velvet down the right sldo to tho edge of tho cent, forming tho bolt, deep cuffs and high muffling collar. col-lar. Tho ornament and tassel, used on ono sldo of tho coat only, aro of royal bluo silk. |
