treme care in the Seiectlon OF
your winter coat, the Recovery
Board points out. The garment
must be just right for you-for
your figure and your coloring.
COLORS IMPORTANT
The Fall and Winter, 1912,
coat modes include something
for every type of beauty and
complexion. 1t happens to be a
season Of skilful and ingenious
use of color, challenging the do
minion of black.
The new dressy fur-trimmed
coats are attractive in the smart
taupe and brown shades and in
the soldier blues and new green's
with brown furs. You may find
they do much more for you than
black.
In untrimmed coats the color
news is bright. Fleeces and
hubby tweed casuals highlight
watermelon pink, violet, China
green, royal blue and ginger
brown. They are lovely and can
be teamed with lots of other col
ors in dresses.
PREVAILING SILHOUETTE
AS for silhouette, the straight
box treatment is no longer for
sports models alone. Some of the
most lavish silver-decked and
Persian front coats are cut in the
simple smart box outline. This
is consistent with the growth of
Importance of the narrower,
simmer silhouette as rejecting
the legal limitations on textile
consuming fulness. These coats
are more practical and-to most
women-more becoming than a
fitted line. 1t is well to remem-
b. that a box coat goes over all
kinds of costumes, including
suits, without a wrinkle.
A slim, envelope-like side-tie
is another timely silhouette
choice. This version has especial
promise in the very high style"
taupe with a beaver or mink
shawl collar.
If you're at all up on your
fashion lore, you know that
trench coat is a swashbuckling,
officer-type, tailored coat that
has taken fashion circles by
storm as a sports favorite. This
fall you'll find it done with flat
furs as tailored dress coat. The
newest note in silhouette is the
peg top, definitely limited to the
slight-of-build with tiny waist
lines.
LITTLE FUR" TRIMS
There is hope of widespread
favor for the very youthful coat
with just a dab of fur embellish-
ment. Little fur" trims, these
are called, and the best of them
are in the form of loop-bows un-
der the chin, setting off gay col
ored models with mink, beaver,
Persian or leopard. Fur berets
or, perhaps, little barrel muffs
could most appropriately accom-.
pany these coats.
Neatest little fur" trims, if
you're under thirty, are the
black REFERS with narrow pip.
ings accentuating the figure.
slimming seams. fronts
are featured on feminine dressy
fur-trimmed coats, the fur being
a border for the apron effect.
The all-black coat with q Per-
sian vestee can be considered for
long-term popularity. The fur is
applied softly with folds at the
shoulders to give a graceful
fran to the face. The pockets
are built in.
SOME FEATURED FURS
For a dressed-up somewhat lux
urious effect, the box coat with
wide full-length tuxedos of sill
yer has an assured acceptance.
A whole front of beaver with
deep folds in the circu,ar-cut
fur is imposing. (These are ex-
pansively cut as fur garment
measurements are not limited
by conservation rules.)
Fur-lined garments retain the
prominent place in the style pic
ture achieved by them last year.
Nutria is highly regarded for
lining because it is rugged,
warmth-giving and smart.
LITTLE THINGS
In the interest of fabric con.
servation, many coats have lit
tie touches that count for a great
deal. Included are quilted
bright Innings; velvet landings,
bows and borders for all-black
coats: wool fringes to outline a
smart peasantry yoke in a box
model; beautiful buttons in cera-
mics which aren't on priority
lists, and handle 'ochet yoke.
In considering the purchase of
coat it is obvious that early in
the season you have the broadest
choice of selection. And when
you get set with coat early, you
can choose dresses that really
complement the coat. This is the
way to work out a wardrobe
that's as economical as it is
smart. Everything will 60 to-
gether because you have PLAN
ned it that way.
