It is to the dainty little coat of eilk and lace as much a smart accessory to the Spring or Summer costume as for protection on cool afternoons or evenings that all fem inine minds are turning now, and various. Indeed, are the offerings in these natty little wraps on display in the local shops. So elaborate in pattern, so exquisitely fine in material, so certainly Parisian in cut and desitm. are some of these dis tracting offerings, that only the limita tions of one's pocketbook can curtail the shopper In making her selection. Many of the Imported wraps are of pattern lace, with the finest and most expensive of dainty, hand-made embroid eries, and double linings of the finest silks; upon these, of course, the price tag mounts well Into three figures: yet. for the shopper who must figure carefully on each item of her Spring and Summer wardrobe, there are handsome little wraps of silk and lace to be had for quite a modest consideration, with attractiveness of design and smartness of cut to satisfy the most fastidious. A random half-dozen of the newest of ferings, selected from the extensive stock of a local outfitting establishment, are shown in the accompanying pictures. A dainty, fluffy creation, all in golden brown, and with the virtue of real warmth to strengthen its attractiveness, is shown in No. 1. Underneath the coat pattern of heavy brown silk lace, is a double lining of silk in exactly the same tint, and "fluffy ruffles" of brown silk auze finish off the wrap all round, the frills being particularly effective down the front edges and In the sleeves. This type of coat can be had In black and all the tan tones. A beautiful weave of Copenhagen blue, in a one-piece pattern of heavy lace, is shown In No. 2. The silk lining Is of ex actly the same tint as the lace, and a loose fringe effect finishes off the bottom and short sleeves attractively. The pic ture shows the leading style of semi-fit p - - ting back, which will prevail in the lace coats as well as In cloth garments. Of quite a different type is the long matinee coat of pure white lace, shown in No 3. The material is very soft, is sewn upon a double lining of white eilk, and Is augmented by long tassel-finished tabs of gold embroidery In Oriental pattern, with cuff bands of the same, finishing the loose, three-quarter length sleeves. A charming little coat in champagne color, with loose, slit sleeves, 'is shown in No. 4.
