The sleeves are What is kuowit as, Paquin shape, but Paquin nor any other man can be said to have invented or designed those sleeves, for sevOal, times in the Many of the coats and wraps offered for fall and winter are of a shape so uew that we are obliged to notice them at least, whether We exactly like them or not. The most marked of all of these styles are the three-quarter coats, and they are cut plaiu and also so that they are laid in folds from top to bottom, and all the folds are stitched down fiat to within about ten inches of the edge, and that gives them a flare at the bottom that is not at all ugly. But the most of these long garments are quite tight around the bottoui, and that is never a graceful thing. Still, there is always a slight flare, otherwise folks would be- lieve that the wearer had put her broth- er's coat on by mistake. Naturally these long coats are of the best quality of ker- sQ; and some others of the thickest of the woolen stuffs. They are nearly all made with double breasted effects and have fancy pockets and turndown col- lars and from 0 to 12 large smoke pearl. buttons. All the seams are strap stitched, and yokes are sometimes made and sometimes simulated, and on every part where such can be added one finds THEF_E-FOURTHS WALKING COAT. Et quantity of stitching. One long coat had the back cut quite plain, like a box coat,. and in the front there were two folds, and these were so disposed that they formed a very ornamental plastron, and it was stitched as closely as possi- ble. There was a yoke, but whether this was only outlined by the stitching or real no one could tell. The collar and revers were also treated in the same way. This coat is the type of many of the same kind, the only difference being .that the material or color differs from the others. Inersey is the best style for these, and it is expected that they will, with the addi- tion of a fur collar or boa, be quite warm enough for the coldest days. One thing more should be mentioned, and that is that these coats are finisbed OD thc inside just like a man's coat, and fully half of them are lined with mercerized-lustral,"11 material very like seteen, but very much prettier and far more durable than silk. I noticed one coat v,,as quilted oit. the lin- ing down to the waist line, and I suspect that something of the square effect on the shoulders was due to a judicious use of wadding, just as men's coats are made to give the dear creatures such broad and manly shoulders to lay one's bead down on. Don't you tell that I said this, Inc I should be blatned all around. The girls would not thank me for destroying' such a sweet illusion, and the men ,would not like to have the girls know that they are indebted to their tailors for more than the inere clothes.

It was in 1871. Our regiment was then at the village of a few miles from the provisloaal frontier. 'The' town lay"in the midst.of a forest ancriutd been partly destroyed during the war. We lived in wooden' barracks that Lied .heen built by the .Germaias.

They are bell shape arid have turued up cuffs and undersleeves of the same, with little lace or applique around them. Many ladies will wear the short jacket until the cold days shall make another garment necessary, and these are short in good earnest, as they reach scarcely to the waist line at the back. and in most cases they have a sort of tab in the front. Some have the high collar and others the flat one. After these and between these and the three-quarter coat there is an- other jacket, and this is short, yet long enough to allow the garineut to be calla ed a box. This style is often 'made to match a suit, and the only trimming al- lowed is a set of handsome but apparent- ly plain buttons. In one the collar was high and turned in a queer, careless kind of flare. It is exactly box .shape, but short, never reaching below the hips. One had a velvet collar and revers, but that is not necessary. I believe they call these "ladies' double breasted reefer suits," and the most I have seen were made of homespun, cheviot, venetian and all the other stout and durable woolens. The rough cheviots and the flecked zibelines and other rough stuffs are by all means the best to use for full suits. To sum up about the coats, there are long, princess ehapes with hoods and red- ingotes of several shapes, but mostly box, for automobiling and driving. These 'are in every color imaginable, and some that seem rather light and delicate for riding in the dust. Next come the golf capes of double faced kersey and After them are the circular •ca.pes, and there are many of these. Some are quite and others are embroidered and trimmed more or less lavishly with ribbon sewed. on as a garniture. ,Every shape, size and style of cape except the ripple belongs to the season now here. Every kind of ma- terial front cloth or dress Material to the richest brocade and velvet is seen, and, one can easily and a choice. Some of the dark colored velvet and velutina coats in half and three-quarter lengths are rich and fine. Fur, feathers and beads and just plain stitching are all right. • HANDSOME arte.etettner. :- • -^ ,a0-1AorsQs or o'cluct: la the morn- og. 800 1 to myself, ''a daeli uni Stippoec that tileY will fight 01 nein..." a. his spot itly 00 the other elde of the frontier, and experienee had ,aught tne that snch affairs •tisually awe place there.
