An outstanding attraction in coats
OF the character of the models in this
illustration, is their lightness Of
weight. Heretofore fur coat was
looked upon as seasonable for only a
few months of the year. However, the
furrier has managed to overcome this
disadvantage, by giving to the fur
coat the suppleness, the lightness of
weight which has heretofore been
ascribed to the cloth coat. Especially
are the novelty fur coats so fash

spotted calf, caracul and fine astra-

into the mode not only for northern
wear about town during the midsea-

women on unexpected cool days which
may be encountered at southern and
