SHOWERPROOF
By Dorothy Barkley
LONDON. ¡NGLISH weather has always been known to be most unreliable. Con- sistently it defies the Meteorological Office to fore cast it accurately, takes malicious delight in break ing all rainfall records, and has recently provided Eng- land with the dullest, coldest, wettest Easter since 1942. If a Gallup Poll were to be taken, there is not a man, woman or child who

It is the welcome successor to the "mac", that garment of no particular design or colour, which has al- ways been strictly utilitarian, and has never been recognised by fashion designers. Now it has been given colour, style and elegance, and the result is a cross between a top coat and a mackintosh which performs the functions of both equally well. It appears in a variety of proof- ed materials--gabardine, velvet, rayon, West of England tweeds, and even cotton,

For the principal use of this coat is as a top coat, always prepared for an occasional shower.
A firm which specialises in the manufacture of rainwear, has shown, in their now collec- lion a series of showerproof top coats. The material which they have selected for this is West of England cloth-hooth, im- and hard-wearing. Fins tweeds and checked ma-
