THE { § i HE rainy day costum spiration of the cartoouist as well as be- ng a woeful burden to lts wearers Its characteristics were heaviness, shape- lessness, aud u fortable warmth. It was usuaily made of waterproof material, on most 'unb Itnes, and most awkward in effect Today the well dressed girl's ralny day outft is a convineing {llustration that fashlons. at least along some lines, are greatly improved. These cutfits reflec the trend of the prevailing fushions. They are smart in style, correct in line, and are made of the most modish and lightweight of rubberized fabrics. Not the smallest accest is forgotten. Every lttle detail is considered. Hat covers to match coats may be pur chased for all styles of headgear. Two.pockets are provided in most of the coats, one to hold the bat cover, the other for the rubbers, which are Inclosed in & case to match the materlal in the coat ' Nearly «ll the rubbers are of the storm toe. hLeelless vuriety, and may be obtained In ail colors. The woman who studles her clothes and who cares especially for appropriateness !n dress is exceedingly particolar about her rainy day outfit. She wants to be smart to be sure, but she Is equally anxious that it be In no way conspleuous. In selecting the color she generally chooses a dark biue. dark brown, mixed weave, or a gray. Waterproof taffeta silk in black Is greatly favored This is trimmed in many ways and with different color tones ® % Nearly ali the new rain coats are made semi or three-quarter fitting. The belt. too, is being used largely, and while the separate beit is not so much in evidence. belt suggestions in the back. front, and sides are well thought of Many of the smartest of these coats have oddly cut seams. some overlapping the others; others curved fa to meet laige pocket flaps; in fact, many clever fdeas are Introduced in this way.

Automobile coats are rain coats, frequently showing the belt and modified blouse. except that they are much looser, so that they can be siipped over a suit If desired. In view of the fuct that nearly oll the material now iu vogue can be made rainproof, these garments ave made up so that they may be used in pleesant as well as in stormy weather. The narrow silhouette has invaded the coat market as well as other garment flelds, and designers are cudgeling their brains to cut their garments accord- ing to the present style requirements and still make them practical An automobile coat of soft. heavy. dark gray tussor was lined with gray and white dotted foulard and had and cuffs of the foulard For wear with the coat was a small hat trimméd In the gray and white foulard Pongee in one form or another is the most popular dust coat material, and never have the natural col- ored popgees been 3o good looking.

Nothing looks cooler a hot day than the natural colored pongee or linen, the straw color tone rather than the brown- tone being preferred. A note of black is always extremely effective with this shade. For practical wear there ara good coats of tussor in firm. heavy, durable weave without trimming save large buttons, self-strapping. and stitching. They are skilifully cut, a fact to which they owe their modish air. and are entirely closed across the fromt, opening t the left wide of the closed standing coller, down t eft shoulder. around the front of the arm, and down the under arm seam. Lightweight twoed end homespun are made on the same lines. The coat of soft, lightwelght, mixed tweed. or home- spun in good English or Scotch quality, waterproofed, is the miost practical gemeral utility comt one can buy.
