WHATS IN FkSHION?-
Coats With Broader Shoulders

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-There's
IN certainly no depression in
coats. They're decidedly "on the
up-and-up" and every day sees
them getting more so.
Meaning that most of the detail
work in coats-the things that
strike your interest first when you
look at them-is in the upper part.
For long time we've been telling
you that coat cloSings are higher
this year, with buttons placed above
the waistline. And that the upper
part of the coat is designed to en-
phasize shoulders and make them
look broader.
That's even truer now than 1t was
at the beginning of the season. And
there are newer ways of empha-
sizing the top OF the coat, making
you feel that all details are being
pushed up.
Shawl Collar Shorter
The popular shawl collar has been
growing shorter, fastening higher
and higher at the left side.
Some of them, when fastened
close, are so high as to encircle the
throat, such as the round shawl COL
lar in the right hand illustration.
The rever shawl collar that's such
a favorite of the matron has the
points of it's revers brought up
higher and fastens higher at the
side, as you can see in the illustra-
tion.
The plastron collar, one of the
most individual types Of collars, is
also being made shorter. The bib
like insert of fur doesn't extend
quite as far down the front of the
coat.
Shorter Cape Effects
All the scarf collars are shorter,
with ends fastening fiat and straight
across the upper part of the chest.
Or they fasten way around under
the left ear, making a pouch-like
collar that stands up quite high.
Those very smart fur capelet
effects and fur yokes aren't as deep
as they were. They're more like
the old-fashioned short collarette
that they wore in the last century.
Even sports coats show this
tendency to push their detail up
high. They button above the belt.
They have collars that stand up.
Must Look Like Dresses
And there's that "woollen SOL
dier" coat designed by Schiapa-
relli and a great favorite with the
younger set in this country-the
coat with squared padded shoulders
and the narrow collar that turns
down in the Slanting line close
across the throat.
All this pushing up tendency
goes back to the fashion for MAX
ing coats look as much like
dresses as it's possible to do.
The interesting details of fash
ion fright dresses are centered above
the waistline, too, and their neck
lines are higher and their shoulders
broader.
Since the new furs are so. soft and
pliable and so many of them fiat
and short haired, it's easy to make
these coat collars shorter without
making the figure look bulky.

League Is
Upheld by
Dr.. Edze,urdS

"It is necessary for the individual
to disregard prejudices and consider
the principle of the League Of Ma
tions and its work on the basis of
facts and merits" DR.. David M. Ed
wards, executive secretary of the
Indiana Council of international
Relations, stated in the third talk
of his series for the indianapolis
League of Women Voters Wednes-
day at the Rauh Memorial library.
DR.. Edwards discussed the League
of Nations, explaining its organiza-
ton consisting of political, clerical
and autonomous departments. Po-
litical organization includes the
council and assembly; clerical in
cludes a secretariat of 1,100 people,
experts in their fields, from forty
nations, and the autonomous in
cludes the World Court and Inter
national Labor Organization.
Points Out Idea
DR.. Edwards pointed out that the
idea embodied in the league is not
a new one.
Tendencies during various pc
riods of history have been to eff
feet an elaborate international con-
tact between states, not unifying
them or forming world state, but
federalizing some of the functions
of the states" he said, giving illus
trations to prove his statement.
I'm the last ten years." he con-
tinued, "co-operation of the United
States with the League of Nations
has increased" and added that the
important question is not whether
the United States should become
member, but whether it will con-
tinue to cooperate with the league.
Finds Way to Cooperate
"The United States has found a
way to cooperate with the league
without becoming a member" he
said in conclusion, ''but has found
it impossible and inadviSable to
keep out of world affairs"
Isolation versus Cooperation,
with special attention to the Sino-
Japanese situation will be DR.. Ed
wards subject at 10 next Wednes-
day morning as his final lecture.
There also will be continuation
of this series, with Mrs. James w.
Morrison, daughter Of William Dud-
ley Foulke of Richmond, Ind, as
speaker.

returned from the Pacific confer
ence on international Relations,
