The colors of these newest of fab
RIGS are perhaps their greatest charm.
for It has been many years since we
women have been able to indulge In
such subtleties of color expression.
All the way from the brightest and
most glowing OF shades to those that
are verify neutral In their effect Is the
range of color tones, and while most
OF the suits run to browns or to one
OF the numerous taupe shades, still
there are some made from the gor-
geous blue and green tones that make
up so well with the gray furs and 9TH
ers In the reddish shades that are so
effective when combined With the
darker brown and black, both long and
short haired furs.
Coats Are NotieeabIy Long.
The coats on the newest Of all the
suits that are being worn are quite
noticeably long-so long, In fact, that
but the merest bit of a skirt hangs
out. for, with the present rage in New
York for skirts that are short and
with this added favor for longer coats
there Is left but small portion OF
space that can be allotted TO the skirt.
There are reasons to be thankful for
| this, the latest whlm Of fashion, too.
For, while the legs that prOtfude
| from the short line of the skirt must
necessarily be cold, still upon the re-
| naming portion of the body two lay
ers Of material are lavished-more
than we have had to keep out the
chilly blasts In many winters gone by.
Some of the conts are Cited quite
snugly, following the lines of the fig-
ure, and then again many Of them are
made full enough TO make a tightish
belt necessary to gather the fullness
| together about the waist.
There is one exception to the longer
coat, and that is the little box coat,
which has to be short In order TO carry
out its character. II reaches high
hip line this season. and Is single
breasted--and II Is more apt to be
made up from the 'hUmespun nIateri'
ais, as 1t Is a little more outdoors ln
style than are some of the other cuts
One particularly smart box coat had
rather narrow rolled collar of bea-
yer with pockets of the same fur sci
on the extreme edge of the coat, SC
that they looked more like wide
binding for the coat than they did like
conventional pockets.
Skirts Are Quite Short.

quite short. Some of them might
be called too short for beauty of pro

longer skirt as yet looks out OF plac,
In and around New York. The widths
