New Spring Coat.
Behold new one! 1t is the bob
tailed coat. So if you want to be IN
style this spring just take the old
coat of the 1914 model; a good sharp
pair of shears and slash it off SO il
strikes you above the belt. Or you
can have coat made just little be
low the waist line. but it must have
a very fancy flare. The weekly style
letter of the Fashion Art League OF
America sent out this week through
it president, Nine ALA Ripley, from
the Leagues style headquarters in the
Auditorium hotel says:
1.-The smartest coats this spring
will be rs short as the Eton, scarcely
covering the waist line. But the diff
fer from the short coat worn last
spring, in that they are much moro
close fitting; also, when the coat
reaches below the waist line, it mus.
flare out at the sides. This is good for
slim figures, but not good for large
women-the Eton without the flare
will suit her best. There is a circular
cut skirt laid in shollow box pleats
like pannels, about six inches apart
that is good skirt for tailored suits
1t is safe to assume that the extrem
ely short coat will be adapted by
American women. There has been q
tendency in this direction for year
and this spring it will probably
reach its greatest vogue. The fea-
lures will be it's extreme shortness its
tight fitting effect and also the
flare"
