 First Essential
 First essential for the new ward robe is the winter coat, combin- ing warmth and style in truly modern manner Cloth coats with siightly fitted bodies, as long, or a speck longer, than last year, and as slim and sleek as possible, are both practical and outstanding fav- eGrites. Sleeves are noticeably straighter and there are more belts, the experts tell us. On popular style revives the double breasted line and has the added advantage of greater warmth to face that ''Taku" when it blows.
