The choice seems divided between
full length motor coats and coats in
seven eighths length - Just showing
the hem of the frock and the but
toned boot beneath. Since one is not
supposed to walk about much in a

shaggy looped weave, is most grace
full in a length that just reveals the
frock hem above a buttoned walk
ing boot of patent leather. This
coat is OF mixed green and white
wool material with lining of warp
printed silk in American beauty rose

under straps of green and white knot

cuffs of green velvet add much smart

Another striking French motor

taxable. The coat does not cling
about the knees but falls in straight
rather full lines from deep yoke

waistline in front and considerably
below that point at the back, and
hangs over the shoulder at least five
inches. The sleeves are set on with
heavy cords and the skirts of the coat
also attach themselves to this big
yoke under cording. Across the front
of the yoke are three mammoth but
tonholes, each seven inches long and
ending in a. button of smoked pearl
In the perfect cut, and the exagger-
ated yoke and buttonholes lie the style
of this coat which is lined with post

Plaid Coats For Youthful Wearers
The ultra smart thing in motor
coats is an affair of plaid worsted-
and preferably of blue and green
plaid These coats have a. great
vogue in England just now and
women coming back from the other
side are bringing plaid coats picked
up In London and having a smart and
knowing London cut. Plaids are al
ways trying to sizable figures and wise
women over thirty fight very shy Of
them. On young girls, however, the
gay plaid coats are rather dashing
and attractive. Two of the new mod
els are pictured. One is a brown and
white AFFAIR with cuff. collar and strap
trimmings Of stitched brown suede:
white buttons with brown rims ad
ding final touch. This coat is lined
with cerisA silk and the bonnet is in
shades Of cerise and tan.
The second coat, an English model.
