Extremely Fitted Contour -No
Longer Proper in Coat;.
Collarless Neckline New
-So far as the lines of the new cctats go, -they have got
ten away from extremely fitted contours, and are resorting
more generally to softly restrained effects. In sport coats,
the collarless neckline is as interesting as it is new, and the
raglan sleeve is destined for quite a vogue. The coachman
coat of lightweight woolen, or camel hair, in beige, light

Tbe season's vivid shades of
green, red. rest and. blue are most
effective for trim looking sport
clothes, and! when not used in
monotone, are favored in nabbed
or fancy weave with a tan
gray background.
"Although these sport coats are
simple enough to be worn with
active sport dothes, they are so
well tailored, and smart looking
that they are appropriate for all
types of simple daytime costumes
and in the monotone woolens may
even do for afternoon frocks that
are not longer than the usual day
time skirt.
It is much vrfser to buy a coat
of this typer and to get an even
ing wrap for formal evening oc
casions, than to get a dreeey coat
that will look out of place with
one's tailored costumes. It is an
excellent idea, too, to get" a fab
ric harmonious with your coat,
and to have a skirt made of it. so
that you can have your coat serve
the added purpose of an ensem
ble. :
Formal Types
For your more formal daytime
coat one that Lj luxurious enough
to wear t with formal afternoon
frocks and ; informal evening
frocks you will doubtless want
one of the smooth surfaced fab
rics that are so rich in their dull
castes. i
- No matter bow bright the col
or of the garment, the dull,
smooth surface seems to lend an
Ir of formality to It. Here, again
tbe color favorites continue In
the .same order as before stated.'
And in this type of coat, far is
being more generously used. Al
though sleek pelts continue to be
favored, the- longer haired furs
are more luxuriously feminine in
appeal. ; 'f s

The lines of thes formalized

Sleeve details get a lot of atten
tion, and though they &re not us
ually fur trimmed, they are clev
erly tucked and stitched, and dol
man shaped sleeves taper down
rrom the shoulder to a mousquet
aire, or shirred effect wrist.
Peplums are very effective, too
and the most youthful type are
the little flares that come just a
few inches . below the belted
waistline. These, however, can ba

and the woman of more generous
