Quite lately I've noticed a auaplolon
of lightening la Mrs, Hermann Oelrlch'e
mourning.
" All laat winter aba wore beery black,
bat. Just to carry out the old Idea, of
..every cloud having a silver lining, we
were given an oocaalonal glimpse of
pettlooata of an . undeniably rlolet
ehade frilling and fluting under her
' eombre outer skirts.
The other day, when wa nodded i to
,. each other aa we paeeed In our motors
In the park, X aaw that aha waa wearing
a motoring eoat of gray a dull dark'
gray, with touches of black but a gray '
nevertheless.
, Later we ' mutually dtacarded our
wrapo at Bberrys. Then I bad a chance
for what our country couaina call "a
good look af It,
And alnce we are all lntreated la
thoee absolutely necessary things, mo
Ttorlng clothes, you may like to bear
about thle eoat which really bad one or
two new points. '
The very "newest" thing about It was
the sleeves. And, oddly enough, they
were not Sieves at all, but capeUke af
, fairs which did duty for sleevea and did
It very well. They were put In under
the stltohed-down collar In a double or
triple, box-pleat, and from there hung
straight and free not caught down at
1 alL
They were -ample enough to wrap
well around you If the wind got rude
and boisterous, and, when atanding, fell
" Into very graceful, effective lines.
Indeed, the whole coat waa a grace-
ful, floating sort of thing, which looked
quite sa well out of the motor aa In.
It was built of pongee allk. The color,
as X aald, waa dull dark gray. From
the neck and shoulders It fell In plaits,
which were studied down for a little
way and then hung in folds to the bot- '
torn of the coat, which waa about four
teen inches from the ground.,
Mrs. Ostrich's Very Smart Touch.
- A touch Of black was given In the
Hercules silk braid ' which formed the
collar and continued down the front.
The same trimming ' bordered the
sleeves.: -How
much we are using flowers thla
year! Our spring hats are regular
small Conservatories full of bloom
and ooraage bouqueta ara sot the ex
ception, but the rule.
Not only baVe we been wearing all
the most costly hothouse flowera, but
quite bumble blossoms from the garden.
I suppose the vogue for all shades of
browns and yellows Is responsible for
the sudden rise Into favor of the golden
daffodil1. I've seen a great many smart
women wearing daffodils with their tan
costumes thla spring.
In Paris they are wearing not real
but artificial flowera for corsage bou
quets, and a-good many of the gowns
the great dressmakers of France aend
over to ua are decorated with flower
like ornaments, concocted of silk and
braid. . -
I dont know whether Jfra. Oelricha
ordered her motoring eoat at Easter
time, but they were unmlatakably Eas
ter lilies made of black braid which
formed the one fastening of the front.
And a very effective touch they gave.
In planning' our summer outfit the
motor must be reckoned with, for most
