fitted cut-away design with rounded |
fronts is a favOrite model. while the !
much shorter half-fitting pony coat is
also popular.

used both on the skirts and coats, and |

fective. and this spring will he more
elaborate than usual for they are
heavily braided, often two kinds of this
trimming being used; the Jackets are
almost invariably short, the longest hip
