them are single breasted, but there are
exceptions to this rule which show the
double line OF buttons down the front.
The smartest models dispense alto
gether with fur trimming. and It must
be confessed that there Is something
absolutely unique and attractive in the
smart untrimmed lines of the kid coat
There is. 70 be sure, no law to prevent
woman wearing a fur scarf with such
a coat. but edgings, landings and such
everyday application OF fur seems to be
tabooed In so far as the new coat is
concerned
At the Yale-Prlnceton game last sat-
urday ever so many white cloth and
white corduroy suits were noted. The
majority of instances showed them
trimmed with otter or with sealskin.
They were worn by young girls whose
costumes were completed by toque OF
white with fur bands of pompons as
trimming AS extra precaution against
penetration of east winds, many of the
sisters, sweethearts and cousins of the
Yale or Princeton men wos angora
scarfs in the colors OF the college
favored.
Despite the edict that dark shoes must
be worn with dark costumes. women
cling to the spat effect, particularly
where the latter affords a note of re-
lief from the dull tone of the suit. The
casual observer would declare that Just
as many white spats are worn now as
one year ago. There are, 1t Is true. fewer
| tan colored effects in footwear. For one
thing the tan vogue has died out, and
with 1t the raison d'etre Of the tan gaiter
or shoetop.
Or the other hand. so long as white
gloves are the ruling thing with the

crown the costume. there Is q logical ex-
cuse for the maintenance OF the white
spat. This year II Is cut much higher
than it's predecessors of several months
ago. some of them are trimmed with
black. but the majority are without trim
mirg.
The small muff is the rule this season.
Eometlmes the muff is rldiculousiy tiny,
but on the whole the average woman Is
carrying one OF the medium size that
seems to fit in with the new silhouette
and to give the completing touch to ones
street garb. There never was a season
when muffs could be made from almost
cny fabric, and by the mere act OF ac-
oompanying neckpiece and hat Of
matching materials be considered abso-
lutely appropriate ana modish.
Velvet is a favorite material for muff
and scarf composition The clever girl
can buy a muff form and cover II her
self, and the matter OF the scarf requires
"a shaped foundation on which the ma
terial may be shirred or shocked or
plated. II Is quite essential that a little
fur be used. but there Is no prescribed
rulo for It's application. Handmade flow
oIs-of either silk or chenille-are liked.
and in some cases these flowers are posed
on the small hat.
The muff and scarf may be. made OF
satin, of chiffon cloth or even OF the
wooden stuff of the suit. Much depends
ON the shaping of these pieces and also
on the woman VINO carries them. Every
ore knows that there are some types of
omen who impart distinction TO any
