is for this reason that ready made
coats are usually SO clumsy and un-
calmly on stout women, the material
falling straight from bust to hem in
front instead Of tapering in to give
graceful and smart lines. But the
we'll cut topcoat, with its loose shout
der and big sleeves, is usually becom-:
ing to all figures and often in the new
coats with. fastening over toward one
side, the buttons may be moved q bit
one way or the other to give right
lines.
A coat with very beautiful lines Is
the two-tone model illustrated. This
coat is not made Of reversible cloth,
but Of two distinct materials. heavy
Scotch mixture Of gray and purple
threads and broadcloth in light vio-
let color harmonizing with the coat
material. The photograph shows how
the violet broadcloth is used in trim
ming effect, the long rever continuing
to the very foot Of the coat in most
graceful manner. This coat fastens far
to one side with a single button Of
dull gray bone. Similar buttons are
placed at the back of the waistline.
The sleeves Of this coat are set into
the, garment In raglan manner, and
not few Of the topooats for fall show
this style Of sleeve. though there
seems a tendency to get away from
eccentric sleeves of both raglan and
peasant" type and to adopt the orili-
nary sleeve set into the armhole. All
| coat sleeves OF this type. however,
are kept very fiat at the top and are
entirely without gathers, the line Of
the shoulder and arm being empha-
sized as in sleeves Of the raglan and
peasant" sort. = &. s
Some OF the Big Coats Rich In Color.
Most Of the reversible coat materials
are two tone in effect. That il, the
outer side is Of soft, neutral color
combining gray or brown with threads
Of blue, red or green; the reverse side
showing a plain shade of the color
used in combination. Some Of these
colorings are exceedingly rich and
beautiful. Gray and purple, gray and
Delft blue, steel gray and green,
leather color and brown are favorite
ombinations, and there are neutral
grays with darker gray tones on the
reverse side which are favored by
some women who like smart but quiet
and conservative effects. Some OF the
reversible cloths have backs in striped
or checked patterns and coats Of these
materials, made up in informal, ulster
style, are much fancied for motor and
country wear. A coat Of this type Is
pictured, the material being snuff
brown blanket cloth withsa reverse Of
tslightly lighter brown with crimson
i stripes. The lines Of this coat are
excellent, and Of course the big collar
may be turned up around the throat
when desired. The pockets on this
fcoat are enormous really exaggerated
in size - but this very exaggeration
makes them undeniably smart. One
does not stuff gloves and small belong
ings into the big pockets, FOR that
would soon spoil the good lines Of
