Accordion pleatng is much used for

Eccentric indeed are the ways in

very handsome Dutch collars OF old

Two representative winter models in
young girls coats are illustrated. one
of these coats being OF the practical
everyday type and the other very
dressy model for Sunday or occasional

coat is especially interesting. the front

The other coat is a dainty and dressy
