Hints Of Spring are here, there, and
everywhere. In Spring coats the spir-
1t OF this gay season, is captured and
expressed in new exciting lines, IA
brics and colors.

lines, and slenderizing lines below the
waist.

extreme style and Is really vastly
becoming and wearable.
The skirts Of coats are cut straight
from the waist line with a Wide
wrap-around to give the necessary
width when in motion. They are
fastened to the side, most frequently
with buttons, but some models use
soft ties Of the same fabric.
