Show j WRAPS M WINTER Heavy Ulsters Have Been Made j to Be Really Attractive. j- Sulky Garment Now Does Work It I Was Cut Out to Do; Good- ! Looking. t The bis ulster coat has developed Jnto one of woman's most fetching garments. gar-ments. Once It was a bulky arrangement, arrange-ment, designed mostly after the pattern pat-tern of the man's, to give warmth, and that only. Now it does the work that It was cut out to do and is extremely extreme-ly good looking as well. The materials are of soft texture. There are velours de laine and silk dnvetyns which rival the handsomest qualities of velvet. There are beautifully beauti-fully woven English tweeds and Scotch mixtures. Those who manufacture these cloths assure us that they will j "wear like iron," and that, indeed, is true. i As for colors in these coat stuffs, : they range over the whole gamut. The thick pile fabrics are being made up In gorgeous plaids, and the Parisian de- signers have made most interesting combinations of plaids and plain ma-j ma-j terials in the construction of coats. Tou will see a plain taupe lower section sec-tion combined with an upper portion of taupe and dull green and brown, making a large-patterned plaid. Another An-other combination uses the plaid merely mere-ly for a wide facing. Besides the plaids there are many of these soft materials made in patterns pat-terns of stripes, and the colors cbm-hined cbm-hined in them give a warm look which will take the place of furs, now almost al-most prohibitively high in price. When furs are worn they seem much more lavish than ever before. The coats are big and roomy. Kolinsky is a popular variety of fur and the deepness and richness of its brown tones make it almost universally a becoming shade. Then there are the dyed rabbit skins, which have come into favor not only for deep collars and cuffs used on coats and suits of woolen materials but also for whole coats. The ermine coats for evening are more beautiful than ever and those of sable rival the mantles of queens. Goat skin, long and silky, has been dyed and used for fur trimming. The favorite shade is gray. The wraps for evening indulge in color to the last degree, and it is here that the metal brocades and the velvet vel-vet brocades are used to their best advantage. The wraps are cut out of long square pieces and little or no shaping is given to them. All of their style comes in the draping. |
