Sports wear in general," and jumper suits in particular, have attained great import- ance in the eyes of the arbitors of fashion of late.
Sports wear is made of the softest wool, cut and decorated with as much care as is given to a smart afternoon gown, and, in consequence, can be, and is, worn with confidence by well-dressed women for many other things beside "le sport."

COATS RELY ON BEAUTY OF MATERIAL AND CUT.
The overcoats which have been designed for the winter season 1999- 1930 are distinguished by the per fect harmony between design and fabric, a harmony which has by no means been characteristic of past fashions. Simplicity of outline is allied to beauty of form, and there is little trimming beyond a more lavish use of fur than has been in fashion for several years.

WOOLLY WEAR.

An afternoon frock for an older woman stresses the same pinky shade which is so good this season. It is made on coat, dress lines open- ing all the way down the front over a beige slip with a finely pleat- ed front panel. The dress and slip are both of a good weight silk, the former, being trimmed with self colour silk,embroidery and a stitch- ed belt.
One very smart coat in a dark coconshade is cut in a directoire style flaring from the fairly high waist line and is trimmed with kolinsky dyed squirrel. Very attrac- tive is a coat in a grey brown, her ring bone tweed also fur trimmed. A cocoa brown angora tweed has a draped collar, and large muft cuffs of shorn lamb. A shaped band of summer ermine, and big collar and eufs of the same fur distinguishes a coat of very fine taupe face cloth, and there is an exceedingly smart coat of cinnamon beige marocain, also trimmed with the same fur, which is tucked to fit closely to the form to just above the kuce where it flares out.
