The Smartness of Your
New Coat
Is A Matter of Line
Your new coat may be straight from its flattering fur
collar to the hem ... or it may have a tunic or a
flare to emphasize its style-importance. Whichever
you choose, you will notice that the style is smart and
lettering . . . flares are so low that they do not in
terfere with the straight silhouette and straight-line
coats depend on inserts and panels for a smart effect.
Fur trimmings are generous and in keeping with the
trend toward the feminine. Be sure to see these new
coats without delay.
