CORA wool. This latter is a very new
ana effective touch brought out at the
early Paris openings. Cuffs, too, come
IN Tor their share of attention, Some
hare, some are made gauntlet fashion,
some are cut to fit the forearm snugly
from elbow to wrist, where they flare
slightly, and others are merely straight
bands of the same, or contrasting ma
terial.
Sleeves on both coats and frocks are
varied most attractively, the models be-
ing taken from number of different
clothes periods.
Coats for Sports

some weeks ago, duplicate of this
same coat was worn, with matching
spats, hat band and girdle of the suede.
1t is an unusual fad, but one that is
practical for motoring and all out of
door amusements. Stripes, checks, and
rather vivid plaids are popular for the
sport coat as we'll as the various at
tractive tweed mixtures. One smart
motor coat Of plaid, in subdued tone
of gray, noted at the tennis games, was
trimmed with emerald green suede.
collar, wide belt, and cuffs. The effect
was unusual and extremely effective.
Leather is trimming detail of many
coats this fall.
The huge motor coat Of warmly col
ored plaid, heavy curly cloth, rough
tweed, and various other warm, light
weight fabrics, is often collared, cuffed
and belted in suede or bid, in a plain
contrasting color. Leather buttons, too,
are being used, and seam pipings of
leather.
The Belted Norfolk
For the girl who, COLTS, walks, and
enjoys the great out-of doors, no coat
is unsatisfactory than the Norfolk.
1t lends itself well to almost any ma
terial. In tweed, it is smart and sub
stantial looking; in stripes, plaids, and

No coat model is more satisfactory for
