compromise by being straight in front
with out-swinging flare at the back.
In line with the return of the straight
er silhouette, We find the classic Bal
macaan Of Harris tweed gaining more
admirers than for some seasons. It is
a type of coat that is always in style
and excellent taste. We found 1t in a
shop catering to the younger crowd,
where 1t is shown in green and blue
mixtures as well as the usual tans.
Casual coats run to natural beige in
various mixtures, lots of greens in a
number of different shades and the
rust tones. The less expensive coats
are ~!thout fur and the others have
fluffy collars of wolf, raccoon and
natural lynx. Innings of coats this
season are Of crepe, duchess satin or
earl-glow, which is like the lining of
mems suits. The double breasted
REFER of camels hair, with wide
notched collar Of lapin, makes an ex-
cellent all-purpose coat.
Among suits the three-piece ward
robe suit is the prize. You find it in
many varieties; fur topper over cloth
suit. wool topper with fur collar over
wool suit, and always a wonderful
choice for the traveller. One OF the
really smart ensembles is shown in the
photograph above: youthful in every
line and new as new can be, in forest
green soft tweed with raccoon trim
The short jacket is interesting, with
high-placed pockets and new scanning
which extends across the 'front.' The
tuxedo closing, outlined with fur, is an
outstanding feature of many of the
new suits and is another slenderizing
devise. Raccoon is q happy choice OF
fur, as it holds up we'll against con-
stant wear in this type Of coat, serving
as windbreaker. and affords a place
to tuck the fingers under in extremely
cold weather.

THE four-way ensemble Is lucky
find for the college girl This
consists Of two-piece plaid dress with
a green velvet jacket and an extra
green velvet skirt. It provides lots of
changes, and with an extra blouse or
two it is practically whole Fall outfit
for daytime.
A shop that is very proud of its new
collection of suits and ensembles asked
us to come in and take look. And
they were really well worth looking at,
too Particularly smart was group of
costume suits in the softer dressmaker
type, each with a one-piece dress OF
the coat material.
One was in lovely, soft, natural-col-
ored tweed, with a clever many-gored
skirt, the scanning extending above the
waistline for added slimness. A fur
pompon attached to the brown Upper
closing at the high, round neck was
amusing and different. The tuxedo
coat was banded in muskrat.
Another in this collection was of i'm
ported woolen in lockwood green with
tiny hecks of light yellow. The blouse
top Of matching green satin was the
same as the lining of the coat, which
was trimmed in strongly contrasting
creamy white polar wolf. A third one
In the group featured gray woolen
with short boxy jacket over a tall
ored dress. Gray kid-caracul was
used with great success as trimming
which almost covered the front OF the
jacket. A splendidly cut and we'll de-
tailed gray frock with four-gored skirt
was q pleasant surprise when the
jacket was removed. Worn with
black currant" accessories, it would
be ideal 1t any smart afternoon affair
Of the Autumn.

capes are thoroughly established in the
new collections from morn till night.
