New Silhouette Coat Fashions Practical, Cheap By Adelaide Kerr AP Fashion Editor Fur coats for the winter of 1938 tell a fashion tale of common sense. The recession and a spring strike of fur workers have focused the fur mart's attention on the more serious side of life. Familiar pelts have been processed In new ways to produce smart coats at little cost. Mnny of the new coats are cut on straight box lines almost long enough to meet the hemline of the short skirts a practical silhou ette which adapts Itself both to casual and more formal clothes. Fin ally, prices have been cut approxi mately an per cent. Among the new coats designed for the limited budget are a number fashioned of processed lambskin which its designers call "mouton" (the French word for sheep). The curl has been removed from the fur and the pelt clipped, dyed brown and processed to resist water spot ting. They resemble brown Alaska seal In color and beaver In depth. Skunk haa come to the forefront this season and Is betn worked ("let-out" like mink) In collarless box coats and short Jackets. Black Persian lamb, caracul and Hudson seal are among the standard pelts that promise to be leaders. Brown Alaska seal and nutria also are In the picture. i The season's favorite utilitarian coat la longer than last year's, having been extended to within an Inch or two of the dress hemline. Generally it Is cut on fairly straight box lines, with modified square shoulders, a smooth small collar and simple straight sleeves. It haa a comfortable wrapped look. Designers expect the vogue fo the prlncesse coat to Increase as the sea son advances.
