does seem that / harp on the high
prices, but it is a question that con-
fronts us all and It is Just as well
to be prepared for what one has to
meet when planning the buying for
the season.
There Is no doubt but that there
are a large range of coats shown for
the young miss this season, some
very attractive pnes, too. but as an
investment for the mother of the
growing girl who is shooting up SO
fast that she almost out-grows her
garments in one season. / favor the
capes that are being shown. In the
first place, they are practical be-
cause II Is almost impossible for the
girl to out-grow capes. Should you
buy a cape that just covers the
young lady's frock and at the end
of the season three inches of her
frock shows, because of her growth
during that time. the cape would
still be quite correct and large
enough for the girl. Then. too, the
cape is bound to be in fashion an
other year for children.
Not only does coat look badly
when IT gets too short for a girl.
but the dimensions, such as the
sleeves and the body of the coat.
take on a pinched look that is diff
cult to overcome.
There are, however, mothers who
do not in the least favor the cape
and for these I am showing today
one Of the new spring coats. This
coat is of velours: the skirt and the
cuffs are decorated with tiny pinch
tucks and covered buttons. The
large collar OF the material is over
laid with a collar of sports silk in
bright colors.
