broadcloth trimmed with new plush
material which can scarcely be de-
tected from real Hudson seal. The
jacket is fitted above the waistline by
the seams at each side of the front
and back and IT is closed in double
breasted fashion in front. The Jacket
IL quite full below the waistline and
the fullness is accentuated by the ad-
dition of a six-inch band of the seal.
Among the many smart separate
coats shown 10 a model developed in
brown Olivia cloth-a material which
rivals in popularity the Bolivia cloth
of last season. This new material
however, Is quite ulrrerent, in finish
being somewhat rough in effect
though soft and silky to the touch. The
coat in question. fashioned of castor
color Olivia cloth. has a particularly
clever collar which may be worn in
draped effect or open in flat effect, in
which instance it takes the form OF
the new and extremely wide collar
pointed over each sleeve.
