PARIS. Aug. THE revival OF
the coat dress this year has been
IN keeping with the universal desire
on the part or woman 10 preserve
that LOOK OF youth which they once
thought short skirts impaired to
them.
After all. there Is no garment
quite SO debOnair ana youthful

own again. What Is more. 10 bids
fair 70 dim the popularity OF the
little jacket ensembles. but every
woman who claims 10 being we'll

Furs to be Worn
For the morning, there are q
number Of soft wool fabrics IN
fancy and plain weaveS that allow
for perfect tailoring. Mostly all
models for informal wear show
touches on pique at the neck and
sleeves. Wool tulles, more or less
heavy, are numerous.
Pleats. gOdetS. incruStations. all
are featured IN the new dresses.
They all are belted, too. and many
models have accompanying scarfS.
