! gives a more slender line. The fitted
coat. belted or plain, three-quarters
or full length, appeared on a very
large number of the smartest women.
Such coats we're noted in plaid tweed,
checked tweed, monotone Shetlands,
Persian krimmer and lapin.
EUR-BoRDERED fashions were
very prominently displayed in
these gala crowds. Fur about the
face Of built-up turbans, fur edging
fabric coats Of semi-dressy type as
well as outlining pockets. Mink, Per-
sion and krimmer were used for this
purpose, giving a distinctly Russian
effect to coats and turbans.
Fur-trimmed jacket suits and three
piece ensembles were in great pro-
fusion. Owing to the mildness Of the
day there were not as many fur coats
as one might expect to see at this sea-
son Of the year.
As to the abundance Of color, we
shall quote from the report of an eye
witness: Color was on the loose for
the all-black costume was chiefly in
citified types. Looking back on other
seasons 1t seemed that the grays had
usurped the place usually held by the
browns, but all the bright foot ball
too, that real aqua and Sandringham
blue had joined the foot ball colors
and were often allied with gray. For
instance, a Sandringham tweed coat
had small round collar and edge to
its blue fabric hat in gray Persian.
Plum, q rare but smart color, was set
of by pale blue, as in a plum, lynx
trimmed tweed suit with pale blue
sweater, or plum jacket suit with pale
blue hat corded chain-link fashion in
wine red"

T OOKING over the coat situation In
local shops, we have found good
assortment of smart looking, warm
coats that are still waiting for a try
out There are plenty Of grays trim
med with gray and trimmed with
black, also the much-favored warm
beige with smart contrast fur trim of
black Persian or brown beaver.
A particularly warm and coy gray
tweedy mixture in fitted style was
belted across the front and carried
large, fluffy collar Of long haired
gray fur. We felt 1t and found it
heavily interlined, 80 that 1t would be
as warm as a fur coat. It seems that
the younger set love coat with some
sort Of belt that they can pull in very
snugly, as they do not wish to leave
any doubts as to the slimness Of their
figures! II they have q fur swagger
coat that seems to make them look
too bulky, they are pretty apt to belt
it down firmly, and the same holds
good with many of last seasons cloth
coats and swagger suits.
A beautiful soft beige fieecy coat
tapping over in double-breasted style
has a large notched collar of beaver
and q brown velvet ascot. 1t Is lined
with brown crepe; the back is very
full and it is held in closely ut the
waist with dark leather belt.
There are lots Of lovely green coats
with light, fluffy collars, and plenty OF
reds, among them the Persian rust
which is O color obtained by mixing
tomato red and London tan.
A royal blue three-piece suit with
raccoon collar Is . good choice fol
the blond. And, not forgetting the
plaids, there Is a suit consisting OF
heavy dark blue worsted skirt with
three -quarter-length boxy coat .o1
bright plaid that is exactly in the
spirit Of outdoor fun all through
the Winter.
