Coats Are Growing Longer
In the September Woman's Home
.Companion the fashion editor says:
"Coats are conspicuously showing
the descending line. Autumn suit
coats will vary in length from twenty
eight to thirty-eight inches, thirty
four inches being the most popular
length; while forty-eight inches is a
good length for the separate coat.
"Plaits and panels are featured.
The flare is not as prominent as in
the spring models. This does not
mean that they are not wide at the
bottom, for they are. The separate
coats, especially, show a sweep at
the hem. Some have the upper por
tion made with fitted lines, others
hang loose from the shoulders.
"Plush, velour, pnnecln which is
the short nap French velvet and imi
tation fur fabrics are all good ma
terials for these coats. The leading
novelty in these imitations is Rodier's
ederella, a close imitation of Persian
lamb.
"These suit coats and separate coats
alike rely upon their collars and cuffs
for their novelty note, and I assure
you they have not relied in vain. The
cape collar, about the only real mili
tary note in the new fashions, and the
high wrinkled crush collars, are the
leaders. They both have the big
clumsy look in common it is regard
ed as their chief style note. Some of
these collars may be worn two ways,
buttoned up close about the neck, or
laid out flat in cape style.
"Many of the separate coats have
kimono sleeves, often so stitched that
they have a raglan effect. The full
leg o' mutton style is seen, too, made
with deep flaring cuffs.
"Suit coats are not showing many
long shouldered effects. The nrmhole
is generally the regular size. The:
sleeve most favored is the regulation 1
coat sleeve with nothing new or un
usual about it until the cuff is reach-1
ed. Then comes the novelty. Veryj
deep cuffs are worn, fur- and button-;
trimmed. Big, flnring, inverted bell ;
cuffs are fashionable, lined with a
contrasting, often gay color. There
are cuffs that swing out from the
sleeve with a big button and button
band caught together and to the
sleev with a big button and button
hole, in fact, there is no end to the
cuff novelties.
"In the early fall many women of
fashion will include in their ward
robes. French-looking pelerines of
satin. These long coats were first
made by Callot."
Elgin Schools Open Soon.
A. E. Clawson, superintendent of
Elgin schools, has issued the follow
ing statement to school patrons of
that district:
"The Elgin schools will open Sept.
4, and patrons of the school should
arrange to have their children in
school first day; especially those stu
dents who are to begin high school
work.
"Every effort possible has been
made to secure the very best teachers
for this school year and the quality of
work given will be equal to that given
in the best standard high schools.
"All departments of the . public
school will be given consideration:
physical as well as intellectual. While
we do not believe in giving undue at
tention to athletics, yet we should like
to see Elgin have a good strong foot
ball team and basketball team this
fall and winter and a winning track
team in the spring.
"The superintendent desires to meet
a few days before school opens, all
young men who expect to take part in
football, and to meet especially all the
last year's 8th grade pupils."
