One of the novelties of the season Is the partially belted coat, or at least, the belt or sash is partially concealed by the garment, as in the model sketched.
 A serge striped in navy blue and white is the material, the sash being of black satin. The coat is cut with few seams, the fitting being done with the wide collar-Iike piece which eE- tends in one piece to the high girdle in the back.
