FASHIN LETTER.
The cold ware that appeared upon the
scene last week produced an exceeding
ly interesting crop of long, warm coats
Though they appeared in every gradu
ation of length, from the knee to he
hem of the frock, all Btampei with
Fashion's gracious approval, there was
a decided preference evident for what is
known in the sartorial vernacular as the
"three-quarter" coat.
In outline, however, there was no ap
parent deviation as every coat you saw
was cut with a sacque back and long,
loose lines in front.
True, some of them were cut with a
yoke others were cut without a yoke
some of them were quite double-breasted
others only fastened a bit to one
side. Some of them had shawl-shaped
-collare done in. fur others. badihe .
newer collar with square ends, that fin
ishes just below the line of the bust;
but the general effect was quite the
same.
Miss May Van Alen wan wearing a
"three-quarter" coat one cold day. It
was done in violet broadcloth. It had a
high collar and revere of chinchilla.
Mrs. Townsend Burden appeared the
same day -in what I should call a 'seven-eighths"
coat as its length was
more than "three quartera" and yet it
did not reach the ground by several
inches.
Mrs. Borden's coat is of black velvet,
brocaded with a design of large Empire
wreaths and cut with more fullnees
than characterizes the other coats.
""Miss Natalie Schenck is wearing a
"three quarter' coat of black broad
cloth. The collar is of white fox.
White fox was an oddity the tint
part of theaeason, but itfca growtrso
in favor that it promisee to be quite as
general! worn eventually as any other
fur.
One of the best of this crop of coats
wae In purple velvet, long and sweeping.
H had one of the new square collars in
silver fox, and it was lined almost
throughout with ermine. But then it
ought to be quite right, as it wae made
at tne Paris Exposition by one of the
foremost furriers of the world, and cost
I am afraid to say how much!
Moufflon is an old-fashioned fur long
out of favor, that appears to have been
given a fresh lease of life lately. It is
certainly delightfully warm and very
light in weight always a desirable com
bination. The Hon'ble Mrs. Eaton who
se everybody knows that reads the pa
pars came from England to help marry
her sfster to Alfred Vanderbilt, and who
is supposed to be an authority on smart
dressing, is wearing a small cape of
brawn moufflon.
-Mrs. Starr Miller, before she was
plBfiged into mourning, was wearing a
really alanning big cape of brown moufflon.
The gray moufflon is as pretty as the
brown, but it does tot seem to appeal
much to people as yet.
Apropos of departures in furs, a le
cent letter from Paris tells me that the
ultra-smart Parisiencee are carrying
ttoles of fur with their decolnttes gowns,
.and ,tbrow:tbem about their shoulders
on the slightest' provocation, with the
most picturesque effect
These itole are almost invariably
adorned on one end with a chou of tulle
that may be the same hue as the fur or
some contrasting color, as best pleases
the-wearer'a fancy.
This letter also speaks of the con
tinued vogue in Paris of felt hats, of
every conceivable color and shade.
Curiously enough, this fashion which
is an exceedingly pretty one has made
little or no impression over here, though
a number of smart models Wire import
ed by the various milliners.
Mrs. Perry is wearing the prettiest of
tbee felt bats, and why, in this land of
imitators, it has nut been copied again
and again is one of those sartorial mys
teries impossible to account for.
Mrs. Perry's hat isof-Iight blue felt
an exquisite blue, by the way. It is flit,
fits i-iose to the bead in the back, with a
slight downward dip that is the newest
and smartest touch in millinery art. It
is a bit off the face, and its only "trim
ming" consists of two ravishing ostrich
feathers, that begin gray and end blue.
They are placed directly across the
front in opposite direction so all the
gray is in the middle and the blue on
either end.
The rage for jewels is still rampant in
Paris. My letter tells me that the wo
men actually do not seem satisfied to
only wear jewels which they are simply
piling upon themselves, but all their
accessories must be jeweled, even to the
cover of the books that they read and
the "bells t-at 'they ring to summon
their servants.
In the matter of jewels many of our
women can bold their own with any.
body, so far as the beauty and value of
their jewels are concerned, and it is a
pleasure to feel that generally they are
worn with much better taste.
Mrs. Potter Palmer is wearing a pair
of huge pearl earrings juet now that are
perfect, unless one has a fancy for black
pearls, in which case one might prefer
Mrs. Hoffman's earrings, as hers are
almost as big as Mrs. Palmer's,-and eet
