Motor coats of leather are not the
newest things on the fashion map.
But leather coats with swagger skirts
to match-how does that strike your
fancy, milady- y-of-the-steering-w
They've just arrived. Blew in just
a day or two ago from a real atelier,
a place where people have fashion in
spirations and where clever brains
and fingers know how to execute
them. One is of purple-deep,
ecclesiastical purple-and the skirt
which goes with it is dyed within an
eyebrow Of the same shade. It is Of
lovely uncut corduroy and a symph
ony of softness and pliability.
Among the clever touches are the
pockets on the sleeves. They are
real pockets, mind you. not the false
ones sometimes used for ornamental
tion or TO break a nonotonOus sur
face. They close with a flap which is
butiOned to the sleeve and are quite
large enough to hold a handkerchief
or other small trifle
To emphasize the matching Of skirt
and coat, the collar of the coat is Of
the corduroy. and a wide band Of the
leather is stitched at the bottom Of
the skirt. There are pockets in the
skirt, set in diagonally. and the girdle
Of the coat is also Of corduroy.
little more up-to-date still are
the motor suits of leatherette, in the
new mustard shade, and looking for
all the world like a thick rich. vel
vety chamois. The coat is a glorified
Norfolk. the girdle piercing the Nor
folk pleats and closing invisibly in
front Instead CT the uninteresting,
straight up-and-down Norfolk front,
the coat closes with six mustard-cOl-
ored buttons at the top then comes a
little inset resembling the vest, and
finally a snug closing Of the girdle
II the waistline.
Both coat and skirt have the dag
onal pockets and the skirt is cut on
sport lines with pleats on the side.

she arrives at her hostess home, will
find one of the new long motor coats
very servioeable. They are making
many of them in lightweight knitted
materials or in soft pliable woolen
fabric known as Bolivia. One at
tractive model in dark blue Bolivia, a
Drecoll model. is full-length and has
the full flare beginning at the shoul-
ders. There are set-in sleeves and a
high military collar which can be
buttoned close up under the chin and
affords excellent protection against
wind and weather.
They come in all colors-reseda anC

on the coats worn by the jovial Pick

The white suit is always popular il
