The Coat for Between Seasons
The Importance of the Fur
Trimmed Coat Is Stressed
for Mid-Season Wear.
By MARIE MAROT

THE coats shown for mid
season wear are truly
lovely. Never. it seems,
has there been such a diversity
of materials and styles in this
important garment
Two Of the snartest models
yet seen are sketched here. On
the left is a coat Of black broad
cloth. Nothing unusual about
the material, but the clever cape
collar gives a note OF distinction
to the ensemble that is the last
word IN smartness- Gray caracul
forms the quaint collar which
ends in q deep point in the back
The cuffs also are Of caracul.
With this il worn a black and
gray felt hat, and a dress ef
broadcloth and gray crepe satin,
forming a NEST charming en-
semhle.
At the right is shown an Ell
semble Of Chinese red suede
cloth. The deep collar and
barrel cuffs are Of gray krim-
mer. The dress IS on the new
princess line of the suede cloth,
with touches Of gray matching
the fur. The hat also Is of
red and gray.
Either of these ensembles are
q charming and most necessary
adjunct TO the wardrobe Of the
woman who wants ever TO be
considered well dressed. Those
are the "in-between" months
and che feels the need Of some
thing new and stunning to COM
plete the season. And with an
ensemble on the lines of either
of the above, one cannot 20
wrong.
