the separate leather coat and. at its best, is
very knowing costume.
Leather trimmings are sometimes in
troduced upon the cloth motor coat with
good effect, but they need clever handling If
they are to improve the coat not to detract
from IL.
One model coat. turned out by famous

loose fitting. and three-quarter length
and its shoulders were Of a modified raglan

rate shield OF the leather to protect the

and wintry chills, went with the coat
Upon the cut OF these cloth coats. the
handling OF the seams the fashion in which
the sleeve and shoulder are adjusted, the
perfect finish of the whole, the chic oil the
garments depends. and there is a vast
difference between coats Of this type.
Look for example at the heavy mode
color cloth coat with its curved seam around
the waist line, its ample fulness, its double
breasted front with big dark pearl buttons
its good shoulders and collar and sleeve.
There is coat plain and severe as a pipe
stem, yet it has distinction and smartnes,
that many an elaborate coat fails to attain,
and the same thing may be said Of the
double breasted melton coat, sketched
here, with its queerly scanned sleeve and
shoulder and its big square pockets.
Tweed is used for the motor coat, as well
as the smooth surface cloths. and often
has flannel or fur lining Two serviceabe
tweed models are shown among the coats
illust rated. and there is, too, an attractive
French coat Of dark blue cloth with a red
reverse side.
This French coat defies the unwIitten
law that forbids capes upon motor coats,
but the cape. in this instance. is not open
TO the objection urged against the ordinary
cape, for it buttons snugly to the coat
in front of the shoulders and cannot flop
in the mud, Revers and cuffs show the
red side of the cloth, and dull gold buttons
give another bright note.
This il. by the way. a good model for
spring and summer motor coat. and a NUM-
Der of the garments illustrated would bc
as satisfactory in general line for summer
az for winter. although fur and other heavy
Innings would OF course be superfiuous

perforated chamos jacket many women
make coat of ordinary weight do for
