OF INTEREST TOWOMEN THE NEW TOP-COAT AND THE ONE-PIECE FROCK Suggestions for Remodeling An Old Frock in Accord With Fashion's Latest Rulings—Hats, Large and Small New York. Dec. 1. The styles of twenty vJars ago seem to hold a strong place in the minds of the people this year, the one-piece frock and the separate, so-called "top-eoat" being particular offsprings of the clothes of that day. A practical innovation is this mode of dressing, which has taken the place of the suit in many cases. The dress may be dressy enough to wear to many things where a suit would be out of place and the top-coat, if care is taken in its selection, may be worn for even ing as well as day-time. Bife With Suggestions for Remodeling An Old Frock Is This Smart Gown The coat of the season is cut in a variety of ways, each of which has some particular style feature to make it prac tical or smart. One is cut much like the last winter's raglan coat, merely belted a little closer to the figure so that the curve of the waist may be more in evidence. Or this same coat may have a tiny round yoke with a col lar and the full godet ripples pressed into pleats, which open out at every movement of the figure. Another type of coat is that which is semi-tight fitting at the shoulders and flares widely at the bottom, in the shape of a Cossack coat. Another is distinctly of the Russian peasant style, buttoning at the side and belted with a wide belt. Around the bottom of the skirt portion is a wide band of fur, also at wrists and around the neck. The heavy richness of this trimming is most effective. Another coat is cut -"ith the upper portion like a sacque, having straight lines under the arms and drooping down considerably in the back. A flar ing tunic is attached to this lower edge, cut in a circular piece so that it stands away from the figure almost, as though it were either heavily corded or wired. Hows of soutache trim the front and around the hips and the hem. Large button sare used do»n the front. The skirt is very plain and rather narrow. The kimono sleeve has had its day and most of the sleeves of coats are set into a regulation armhole, which is GIVES AGED MAN HEARING Detective Reigel Takes Henry Good Back to Hummelstown Detective D.
