WHEN SELECTING THE OUTER
COAT.

Almost every woman has at least
two or three one-piece frocks for the
spring or summer, and consequently
must have an outer coat to ward off
the evening breezes or the fogs that
prevail in some climates even in the
summer. This model is ideal, smart
enough in cut and color for many
occasions, and light enough for many
cIimes-a minaret yellow, downy-sur-
faced wool, with raglan sleeves and
faring three-quarter length.
