LOOSENESS GENERAL AMONG
WINTER COATS
Written for the United Press by
Marjorie.

Written for the United Press by
Marjorie.
New York, July 16-Winter coat
are now ON display in many Fifth
avenue shops, and although few wo-
mcn are buying them, hordes of fem
ininity besiege the clerks to show
these winter models, in order that
they may know how far behind the
times their own 1920 model is.
The models upon exhibition show
four distinct types of winter wrap,
although all the new season coats
are marked by looseness and general
freedom. The Redingote seems to be
leading in popularity. This is a full
length model with n semi fitted back,
straight and full front, with cord
ings, shirrings, or shocking at the
normal waistline. 1t is the model
that is most like bona fde coat and
not the dolman wrap as are most Of
the winter outer wraps. The Redin-
cote may have fitted sleeve or the
loose kimona sleeve, and il is the
latter that is most frequently seen.
Then there is the flared or barrel
skirted coat, the coat cut circular
like cape, with full. straight back
and front, and belt at low waistlne,
and the sackcoat, loose. beltless, and
perfectly straight from shoulder to
hem. The raglan sleeves of all these
models are heavily embroidered with
gay designs in wool or metallic
threads. Braid is copiously used in
swirling, intricate designs. Collars
are almost as diversified as the
wraps themselves, although prefer
ence is shown the extremely high di-
rectoire collar. Shawl and funnel
collars are shown on n few models.
Most of the winter wraps are skirt
length although some seven eighth
length models are shown. Wraps
show the same irregularitv of hem
as do skirts and hat brims. 1t is
considered very chic for one side of
coat to hang downward several
inches farther than the opposite
side. Deep shoulder capes, some
times as many as three or four. are
another very new feature. and these
canes often terminate in n rolling
collar and hood. A Little Red Rid
ing Hood model is shown made of
startling crimson. Although sedote
shades of black, gray. and brown are
prominently shown, there is much
lavishness of CAV color used. Roval
and turquoise blue, copper and rust.
peacock, orange, scarlet and emer-
aid abound in the more dressv wraps.

make n pleasing array for sport
wear.
Really elaborate fur trimmings do
not abound. Coat dealers explain
that the furriers bought up all the
fur, and that little was left for trim
mings in the ready made realm.
Bandings and collars of rabbit, black
goats hair, caracul, Persian lamb
and pile fabrics of plush are used as
trimmings whenever gay embroider-
les or braid designs are not used.
A strange feature of the new
wraps is the combination of color
and material. A gray and black wool
velour model is shown on the Avenue
stitched in gray and trimmed with
fur. There is rounded yoke of
black satin and hip inset panels of
black satin embroidered in canary
yellow wool. Dangling wooden beads
fall from the cuffs, belt and collar.
Wraps show more plainly than
any other garment the gigantic influ-
ence of Oriental sarb, both in color
and line.
