Gauntlet cuffs and throw or scarf
collars are among the small innova-
tiOns in coat styles that distinguish
them from preceding seasons. Anoth-
er almost universal feature of new
coats is some sort of definition at the
waiStline which may be either above or
below the normal waiStline and is
oftenmOSt above. Nevertheless, many
of the new coats achieve an almost
straight Silhouette. Bearing these
three peculiarities In mind, it will not
be at all hard to acquire an up-to-date
coat, for spring styles show no radical
departures from those Of the winter.
Although the throw Is merely sup
plement TO the spring coat for wear
on keen, chilly days, it may be made
style note full of charm. There is
knack in wearing it which all lies in
adjusting it becOmingly. Each of the
two coats illustrated here is provided
with throw and one of them is fur
ther favored with one phase of the
gauntlet cuff. Both are of wool
velour, which has proved itself an
ideal fabric for coats.

COATS WITH "THRoW" COLLARS.

The model at the left is in beige color.

and Il rather wide girdle set in about
the sides and back, defining a long
waiStIne. The skirt of the coat Is
shirreG to the belt with scant fullness.
The sleeves are roomy and finished
with ample cuffs that are embellished
with small buttons. There is a long,
rolling shawl collar which may be fas-
tened over the throat. The scarf hangs
to the waiStline and ends in large, soft
taSSelS. 1t amounts to an ornament
and is pictured with the throat un-
covered and the ends hanging at each
