Coloured Linen Coats.

Pause before the new linen coats that ire being sold for morning wear and you vill forswear economy instantaneously. L’hey are so very pretty, whether sleeved

tor sleeveless, and are intended to be worn ,over any skirt, be it made of wool or of yotton. The-Softest and newest of colours are chosen, and specially pretty are the hawthorn pink,-salad green, white, buff, and Any amount of soutache embroidery is'lavished upon them, and at is fully expected that they "ill be specially . approved of |>y girls, who will agree with older women that some kind • of coat is an.ab-olute necessity for the promenade this season. One so light in weight and bo cool as the linen coat that I have "described cannot»be a burden and adds a touch of distinction to the toilette that is charmingly pretty. ' r ‘ ‘~ ’ Another possibility in coats that can lie worn with any kind of summer dress is the lace' one made of crochet, both coarse and bebe, in every length from the short-lift-boy model to the long cover-all. ' A particularly pretty pattern is the .Napoleon premier with its abruptly cut away coat tails. It has no revers, and -is hollowed a way at t|ie back of the neck to leave ample room for the full and frivolous neck ruffle. “ A* A*
