TREND OF FASHION
By HELEN MERRILL EMERY

There is every evidence that the coat of three-quarter length will retain its foremost position thrC ugh out the spring and summer months. By far the greater number of the new models stress the importance of this length that is in keeping with the shorter skirts.
 Paris is wearing her skirs very short, in fact they are rapidly get ting back to the abbreviated length of two summers ago.
 One notices already that the skirts of the smartest American wo- men are perceptibly shorter than hey were a few weks ago and in practically all the models designed for southern resorts the short length is emphasized.
 To return to the subject of coats, they are of unusual interest by req son of the stunning new materials chosen for their fashioning. No fab ric is too striking either in color or design, but so cleverly is it handled that the effect is always in excellent ; taste.
 Huge plaids and wide stripes are used as we'll as remarkably hand some bordered materials. The bor- der appears as a finish to a scarf collar and on the sleeves and lower edge.
 Particularly attractive are loosely woven white woolen materials with borders done in blue, red or green, Yellow is a color frequently used for these semi-sport coats.
 Among the novelty fabrics are those that have a closely woven de- sign in soft lovely colors. The de- sign is adapted from the patterns of Persian and Cashmire shawls. For the coat sketched a white wool is used. This has a pattern in indefinite reds, blues and biege. The blue is repeated in the plain fabric
