MIA Sti iSS " NiiN'i New York. March 3o.-Thc long and the short Of the spring coat problem is just that-thc long and the short of it.
 Judging by the fashion parade down Park avenue any of these fair days. the chic woman may have her coat anywhere from her hips to her heels and its all right. socially and sartorially speaking.
 Small women like Mrs. Sherburn M. Becker, Jr.. Betty Gerard, Hope Bennett and a number of others look exceedingly jaunty in the spring suit that cuts its coat smartly at the hipline or even shorter.
 Genevieve Clendenin has a very chic oxford cloth suit with such d coat and an unusual skirt with a rounding section of pleats across the carried a red purse one day an cN- ceedingly happy combination for early spring.

Cornelia Grant has love- ly little rose print blouse with black suit. Mrs Lewis Latham Clarke wore a very springlikc fou- lard patterned in green. beige and black flowers and made with the most feminine ruffles here and ruff fles there.
 The vogue for the fitted fash ions grow apace. l noticed Mrs, Irving Berlin wears heavy off white satin at the Embassy Club last week that was intricately cut and fitted to her slim figure. The beautiful simplicity was per- feet setting for the former Elm Mackay's lovely charm
 Emma Cudahy is another who wears fitted things perfectly At Pierre's the other days she wore gorgeous black velvet ensemble with princess lines to the coat and sweet off white chiffon blouse. The coat was colIared in lynx and she wore atop her costume a metal brocaded turban that added a regal note. l It is noticeable that as costumes grow more intricate and deessy, gloves run in the other direction. The authentic glove. the one every nine out of every ten is wearing, IS the pull-on of delicate hue, with neither button nor decoration save stitching. Mrs. Robert NJ. Byrne, the former Marion Gould. is one i who wears fawn or other delicate shades with all her street things and thereby puts the finishing touch on her chic.
