rules from the seeming chaos Of fall fnery.
Take, for example, the new coats.
Here Is q sure scheme for material and
design. Morning coats, coats for travelling,
tramping, for rough country driving, for
motoring, are all loose, from half to three
quarter length, with loose coat sleeves,
tailor neck finish and more often than not
with belt across the back.
