ment. One and all strike new note In the
fashions for this increasingly popular
sport. Yet all show a. simplicity and prac-
tfoai usefulness which makes them pos
sible to the average woman. The freaky
garments which were both unbecoming and
very expensive are fast disappearing and
the modes for automobile attire are now
modes for everyday consideration.
Take for instance, the new. all-envelop-
ing coats, example of which is shown in
corn-colored alpaca with MORE trimmings.
OF extremely swagger cut, the baggy, un-
graceful appearance so characteristic of the

Bright and Light.
These coats are also built in every light
and bright shade OF the dust-shedding al

| especially for the woman who spends the
summer In rather cool climate. The most
| sought-for models are stunning In one OF
the new grays or tans, while q Hght-colofed

riding habit. for with the tremendous pop
