{ ! | AFTERNOON COAT FINELY LAR I OF BLACK MARKED. ITS 1S CAUGHT | BLA AY FUR, | WOMAN’S PAGES Topcoat Takes on Airs of Frock BY ANNE RITTENHOUSE. When topcoats were revived as ri- vals to capes, which had held the field too long, in the opinion of dre: makers, they took on the glamor of a gown. They are not stern and sturdy, not copled from masculine | coats, not full of pockets and straps ang cloth belts. The new coat might! {be a wolf hiding in sheep's clothing. It allures purchasers by its appear- ance. It tickles the economical de- | sires of women by representing it- self as something that it is not. . “If we buy a coat and have it in- terlined,” sald women, “we can make it serve as a smart frock and thereby save pioney. Underneath it we can put any frock that hangs in the clos- &t, regardless of its ancient servitude and present condition.” Most women carried out this scheme in December and they com- tinue to do so, for they find the top- coat of midwinter is most beguiling. It has borrowed the whole hag of fashionable tricks from gowns. It carries peltry for decoration, it has a girdle of beads, of galalith, of gal- loon and metal ribbons. It has wide drapery ending in a cascade from one hip a brilliant lining. and is made of the fabrics that go into frocks. It could fool anybody, even an astute dressmaker. Of course, women suffer discomfort at times by refusing to move a coat in hot rooms, but that's the penalty one pavs eternally for | vanity and economy. Fur coats have taken on new glory, also. Some remain conventionally sturdy, simple, devoid of ornamenta- tion, ‘but others, like one of black lamb, are as cleverly manipulated as a velvet gown. The black lamb used in this special coat is supple and| | finely marked in water waves. The | drapery at the hips ix caught at one Ide with large black and silver | Egyptian buckles. It is lined with jade green crepe de chine to match the trock worn under it. incorporate a vivid lining in a ark coat is one of the startling and eresting fashions of the hour. It s begun last September and shows no sign of diminution. Yet it has not | become common i Not every woman can afford to| | put a colored lining into her one and |only topcoat that will mateh it to > particular frock in the ward- for when she buys a coat it must serve for afternoon However. it is possible to choose a crepe de chine lining in some color that will not clash with one's gowns. ide green. coral, old French blue, | mingle easily with' gray, brown, black beige.

The local ice pond was lighted by electricity, booths were erected on the shore, where hot drinks were served, and a huge crackling fire or two at the edge of the ice warmed the cold toes of the skaters. Fancy dress was used, and the skaters presented { & colorful sight in their gay Chinese or Indian costumes, with snow queens and ice kings a-plenty An admission was charged at a temporary gateway erected near the road. At booths kept warm by kero- sene stoves were sold all sorts of Wooly caps and scarfs, puffy white gloves with gauntlet tops, and a host of similar articles. There were cakes and doughnuts, hot. dogs and coffee to be had, with candy, of course, and lollypops for very small skaters. All the persons who would have refused to dress in their best and go to an entertainment in a hall, gaily donned their warm sport togs, furs and high overshoes and trudged through the snow in-festive mood. - A handsome sum was_ cleared for the Red Cross, and the ice carnival Bids fair to becomo the anpual event in that particular town, at least.
