4 T seems odd to call the lace coat use
full garment, and yet that il really is so
is acknowledged by most women who
have had such garments in their ward
robes. The lace coat when lined with
chiffon or thin silk is really quite warm
at least sufficiently so for spring and sum

infinitely more airy and elaborate wrap
than one of silk or cloth. For more
warmth the lining may be changed, and
even in the very coolest weather these
coats with wadded Innings provide all the
necessary protection. Indeed. the lace
coat is the only wrap which is appropriate
