TN WINTER COATS
Cold Weather Garments Are to
i. Be Loose and Wrappy.
Four Distinct Models Are Being
Shown, All Characterized by
General Freedom.

Winter coats are now on display In
many shops of the larger cities, and
although few women are buying them.
hordes of femininity besiege the clerks
to show these winter models, in or
der that they may know how far be-
hind the times their own 1920 model
Is.
The models upon exhibition show
four distinct types of winter wrap, al
though all the new season coats are
marked by looseness and general free
DOM. The r%edingote seems 10 be lead
ing in popularity. This is a full
length model with a semifitted back,
straight and full front, with cordings,
shirrfngs, OF shocking at the normal
wafstlfne. 1t is this model that. is
most like a bonafide coat and not the
dolman wrap, as are most Of the. win
ter outer wraps. The redingote may
have a fitted sleeve or the loose XII
mono sleeve. and it is the latter that
- most frequently seen.
Then there is the ffared or barrel
skirted coat, the coat cut circular like
a cape, with full, straight back and
front. and belt at low waistline. and
the sackcoat, loose, beltless, and per-
fectly straight from shoulder to hem.
The raglan sleeves of all these mod
els are heavily embroidered with gay
designs of wool or metallic threads.
Braid is copiously used in swirling. in
tricate designs. Collars are almost
as diversified as the wraps them
selves, although preference is shown
the extremely high directoire collar.
Shawl and funnel collars are shown
On a few models.
Most of the winter wraps are skirt
length, although some seven-eighth-
length models are shown. Wraps show
the same irregularity of hem as do
skirts and hat brims. 1t is consid-
cred very chic for n side of a coat
