RAILWAY RADl0-PHONE
EXTENSION is PLANNED
Service Now Provided on Canadian
Trains Will Be Extended to
Chicago in Near Future.

Extension to Chicago of the railroad
telephone service now provided on
trains of the Canadian National Rail-
ways running between Montreal and
Toronto will be inaugurated soon. Of
ficials Of the Grand Trunk Line have
obtained assurances Of cooperation
from the Federal Radio Commission In
their plans to furnish an American link
in the service which enables passenger
to speak from a telephone booth in a
moving train to subscribers within reach
of the connected telephones anywhere
in North America, South America and
Europe.
American rights were sought to en-
ploy the two long waves of SO and 100
kilocycles now used with extremely low
powers on the Montreal-Toronto run.
The Canadian service can be provided
to the border, but American authority
had to be sought for the radio link from

Five MODELS
OF SEASONS
COATS
Capes Appear in Both
Furred and injured
Types
BY WILMA LA WILLIE

&AAANAAA
FASHIONABLE coats are coats
l. that are worn by quite a few
smart women. And the season
is now far enough advanced
that we can tell you with a feel
ing Of authority just what coats
will be In the Easter parade.
Among the best coats Of the
season are the capped coats.
You've noticed a great many Of
them with a cape that is
scanned and gored so that it fits
the shoulders snugly, and is
bordered by a band Of fox fur.
That's, about the most popular
Of theN cape coats, remember
ing always that to be smart it
must be fitted perfectly about
the shoulders. The lines Of this
coat are most often belted, but,
as the belt is separate, many
women prefer to wear it straight.
Then, among the best of the
unfurred coats. Is the capped
coat again. The little, triple
channel cape is a favorite, seen
on the coat we are sketching
here for you. This type coat
is usually belted. also, but may
be worn straight. Other good
injured coats are the tailored
type, sometimes double breasted
and belted in the back, some
times copied from Chanel's
redinglte. double-breaSted, and
fitted through the waistline.
Then the jabot coat is a IA
vorite, because it is SO flattering.
The jabot is on both sides Of the
front, and is often Of flat fur or
is edged with fur. Again, this
coat may be worn straight or
belted, but is smarter belted,
and most women to whom a
belt is becoming will wear the
belt. Jabots in softer versions
are very fiattering to the larger
woman, and sometimes they are
of the fabric of the coat. or they
have a narrow border Of fur.
Flat fur is best on most spring
coats, used in very soft, flatter-
ing ways, sometimes tying a
bow, always draped as beauti-
fully as a fabric. II you will
notice galyac is by far the Ia
vorite, except on the capped
coats that use fox
Black is first in favor, then
navy, then beige. Watch the
Easter parade and see If this is
not true. We have sketched
three coats from Q Washington
store that illustrate the three
most popular types,

VIEWS AND GOSSIP OF SOCIETY IN THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
What's in Fashion?
GOIUns for the After-Lenten Bride

Fashion.knowing brides-to-be
are choosing the traditional
white or cream satin to be
married in. And they are choos-
ing gowns with a slim, slightly
fitted line-the very line that
is the foundation Of all 1880
dresses.
Usually this dress has long
es-occasionally short,
puff ones. But usually, too,
these long sleeves are easily de
tachable for formal evening
wear.
The 1880 bride wears a train,
of course, but a train that is
part Of the dress draping. And
as she walks to the altar, this
train extends from two to three
yards.
AS you know, very formal
evening gowns may have trains,
and the train of such q we'd
ding gown is very easily short
ened to the fashionable even
ing length-or done away with
altogether.
Draped Necklfnes.
The neckIine of this slim,
fitted gown may be softly
draped, as are so many Of the
most in IA hion evening
dresses. Or the dress may have
q contrasting top Of sheer chit
fon. net or tulle.
II the wedding dress is not
Of satin, it is generally Of flat
crepe.
Simple Wells
The wells fashionable spring
brides are choosing are simple
of lace, net or tulle fitted close
ly to the head as q Juliet cap
is fitted. And an occasional
orange blossom may be worked
into the folds.
White satin slippers to match
her satin dress, or white crepe
If the dress is of flat crepe, and
white kid gloves complete the
picture. The gloves, of course,
are short if the dress sleeves
are long, and long if the dress
sleeves are short.
Lilies of the valley are still a
popular fashion for brides bou-
quetS. Gala lilies are another
1880 favorite.
But newer than both these
and most interesting against
the white background-is the
prim, old-fashioned round bou-
quet of variegated flowers.

FASHIONS
FANCIES

Just Glance Beneath the brfm
Of the new hats and you viii
discover much beauty. A large
brimmed hat Of black velvet Is
trimmed with pink velvet gar
deniaS to match the under-brim
which is Of pink velvet steamed
into tiny disks.
The BOlerO rests on its laurelS
and in bed, too. For it is 8ea-
tured as part Of q very new pa
jana suit cream colored crepe
de chine bordered with Alencon
lace. The bolero is sleeveless,
as is the blouse that it covers.
the trouser waistband ties in
back.
The Snake Winds across fash.
ions trail. And so it is quite in
order that a handbag of beige
water snake should be orna-
mented with a trailing gold
metal snake. The bag is piped
with gold kid.
Take Careful Steps to see that
your shoes are in harmony with
your costume. For a tailored
ensemble, what could be smarter
than a one-Strap shoe of beige
and brown kid, adorned with
rows and COWS of brown stitch
ing.
The Lady Of the CameIiaS is
reincarnated In the form of a
frock Of palest green chiffon
that is quite unadorned except
for a cluster of three pale pink
camelias in the point of the
front decolletage that is w.
shaped. The dress itself is most
attractive with its draped bod
ice, high waist and long, flow
ing skirt.
A Double Life is Permissible
as lived by some of the new
frocks. Thus, a double.life
frock can start out as a dinner
frock Of black crepe but on ire
proachable lines and turn up
for tea with the addition Of Q
white crepe bolero with magpie
sleeves that give the effect of
long black gloves.
An Initial Step to SmartnesS
is that Of having your mono
gram embroidered on your tai.
lored blouse. A very well-known
and fashionable woman wears a
tailored blouse of white silk
pique which has a tailored HIlnA
ornamented with tiny black buU
tons to match her monogram,
which is heavily embroidered IN
black silk.
Smartness Can Be Tucked into
a simple frock by the addi-
ton Of pin tucks strategicaIly
placed. A high-waiSted evening
frock Of eggSheI satin is en-
tirely unadorned save for clev-
erly placed minute tucks and
pleatS. With the frock is worn
a waistlength cape Of ruby-red
velvet lined with satin to natcn
the frock.
