q Wearing a chalkline.

Il These chalkline or

shown by us In both
smooth and rough fin-
ish, on blue, gray or

narrow, medium, or
wide stripes, as the case
may be.
q Particularly in striped
fabrics, we are specializ-
ing on one model,
whereof the coat Is ex-
tremely soft in appear
ance and in fact. The
shoulders are very mar

with an extremely high

feature of all.
r Vest is high cut, with
collar, and Is exposed.
Sleeves trimmed with
smart turned cuffs.
Coat is rounded at cor

A very smart model.
and to be candid, our
first choice from a COL
