The last few days. spring days, have
brought out and tested the new styles in
| coats n wraps. l am afraid that while
many are very handsome, not a few are
ugly in the extreme. For instance. the
coats with full back, with a belt from
the side seams across the back Of the
waist. The wearer sacrifices her appear
ance to fashion. The Princess May jacket
is a newly imported model. 1t Is of very
fine ladies' cloth in black and in %colors,
and is shown in single and double
breasted styles, the seams Tapped and
stitched on the outside. The front are
reversed on the single breasted models to
the waist line by a rolling collar that
has a centre seam and meets the broad
lapels in front. The vest passes into the
first underarm seam at either side. and
shapes a point at the closing. The
Carmen shows n uniform outline, but is
slightly deeper just in front. The stylish
shape of the jacket is therefore height
ened by a slight curve at the Sides, and
the edge finish is entirely plain.
