Perhaps the most interesting Of the
things that this season is bringing to

may prefer to call them, are in the
new shades-gravel, greys, browns
and blue. and one of the very hand
some coats that may be seen by the
shopper at Benner G. Begg's is in a
combination Of satin n Val de

also is another distinctive coat in
chamoistyne, and puffings Of the satin.
This is rather more for dressy wear.
In addition to the capes, there are
some OF the coats in more tailored
style, for the oma who does not
care for the loose styles.
Smart Suits.
Suits offer a wide range of choice,
from the strictly tailored models to
the jaunty little short box coats, and
the belted models with their scalloped

place among the suits, and there is a
