THOSE who have postponed the ac-
u quirement Of a spring coat until
now, may congratulate themselves that
the styles are crystalized and that
therefore it is easy to make choice.
Coat styles have gone from good to
better and it will take a CaptiOus and
hypercritical person to journey far in
the displays without growing enthusi-
astic over the last offerings of the
designers. There are several good,
distinct styles to choose from, with
those showing the influence of the
cape dominating the season.
This feature is given prominence In
the handsome coat shown at the left
of the two illustrated here. The body
of the coat Is full and hangs straight
with ripple at the bottom, in the man
ner Of a long cape, the sleeves simu-
late a shorter cape and the embroi-
derry, used for establishment, follows
the lines of a still shorter cape, or deep
cape collar. BY these means the de-
signer aflirms his approval of cape
styles in coats and acc0mplishes u
graceful garment. 1t is Of tan-colored

the family. Cover the ham to the
depth of two or three inches. Dot with
bits of butter unless the ham has
plenty of fat on the edges. Sprinkle
