. New York, Oct. 23. ? Some fashion
'authorities say that notwithstanding
I the remote possibility that a tlght
flttlinK Basque-shaped coat will* be fa
vored- by some daring French makers
and. the probahallity that the close
fitting three-quarter length model
meet with deserved success as a part
of the rel table taittfT-ifflflfc, we may
| wafeiy hank on. the continuance of the
longer separate coat. Indeed, many
of the ? coat models already shown
suggest a consideration of last year's
most comfortable outdoor wraps. We
hatfe again the double-breasted gar
ment. showing a fair degree of room
j inside, notwithstanding -*-i>roclama
tlon that all coats are to be fitted.
We have the long, straight dart from!
shoulder' to hem. also smawl collars
and fh? very low fasten fnga on ample
coats with the same close sleeves scon
last year.
In anticipation of the opening of
the operatic season many gorgeous
capfes and cloaks have arfived from
Paris and the ^.merlcan dressmakers
are also showing many fine garments
of that cha cter, built after the Par
is models. The erase for airy stuffs
of all sorf:* has brought Willi It ?
vogue foj>{ transparent coining wraps
which tfseip curiously Inappropriate
for winter wear. These thirv wraps,
of course, are usually proylded ,wjth
warm lib logs, Vut the effect must
suggest fragility and gauzlness or the
wrap Is a failure.
The most notable feature of tnter

More appropriate fcr cold wlnt?

I shown in the fashtonabl?*shops. Such
wraps seem best suited to tho mat
?rou and dowager, but even women of;
j tender years affe.st these heavier
[ cloaks. A majority of these wraps
re built on simple lines, the mater
,1 falling in straight, stately t line?
from neck to feet.
In contrast to this elegant simplic
ity of effect are the Arrfb, or Assyrian
cloaks, which wrap around~nre llyu^
and are draped up over the shoulder.
Those cloaks came into vogue because
of the opera "Salome," which por
trays the time of Herod, when cost
umes were especially extravagant and
splendid. Assyrian wraps arc usual
fly built of very soft satin or "crepe
Utuffs. which ^ rape gracefully. . Tfce

sometimes used, also fiyec^ded velvet,

SomtTof tnese SfBSTOQ velvet, a new
material of unusual richness. Some
of these brocaded velvets, with their
huge raised flowers on a satin ground
of contrasting color, suggest the Im
pressive hangings which were consid
ered highly elegant a generatioir-ago.
- Crepe meteor, aatin and h?ngnnnP
silk are all used for handsome even
ing wraps for opera and other wear
over gowns of strictly grande toilette
type. These rich silk wraps are oft
times seen In the theater lobbies and
restaurants, but only when ? their
wearers are conveyed in closed vehic
les. The cloth wrap or a silk or aat
in_one ofjiark coloring and Incon
spicuous character is TrTUest taste for
street wear or for use when a trip
must be taken In a public conveyance.
One of the most striking features
of the exhibits of the fashionable
jhops is the large number of really
charming mouses displayed; not or
dlnary shirtwaists, hut iuat _aiich ex
quisite dainty blouses as the fashion
able woman has been in the habit of
ordering from her dressmaker as the
'?omplemefiref h^r TanoredTsuIt. Not
a few of these blouses are made after
French models and are quite expen
sive.
Some of the imported models are
1 exceedingly elaborate, handsome
enough to be worn even with the'
^most stunning of velvet, silk or cloth
i costumes, and especially designed
| with a view to be worn to restaurant
luncheons, matinees, etc., where a
tailored costume 4e-t he moat couifuil-;
able and practical attire and yet a
hint of elaboration is desirable. Some
of these blouses go "well with any,
color and do not have to be worn with)

moit charming ones are In metallic |
i white for relief, and so fine and soft
| are the metallic nets, laces, etc., that
such a blouse is by no means the bar
