The SIX-IN-ONE COAT
Last
Coat collars are changing in an astonishing manner.. year we thought ourselves lucky if we bought a coat with a three- way or even two-way collar.
Now the new collars can be worn in five or six ways, com- pletely altering the appearance of the coat each time.
And as so many of us have. only one winter coat, though we .would like five or six, this
adaptability is very useful.

Curves have always appealed more than angles to French, women, and it has been 'hard for them, built as they are, to change the gentle" roundness for that figure, all skin and bone which has for some yearS been the model on which dress- makers have made their dresses.
Now there is a change for the better if you look on curves as best. Several things have com- bined to bring back a certain- roundness to the fashionable Agure. The waistline being set

Diet, exercise, and a good car- riage are necessary in the dis- ciplined life of a woman who wants to look well dressed But she can now be nourished, not starved, and she can be reasori ably comfortable in her corseta. You may read with horror of the bones and buckram of other times, but what about these modern bells which compress the hips and destroy appetite, so that a cigarette" and a cup of black coffee are more to the taste than a grilled cutlet?
It gave me a thrill of real pleasure the other day to see a pretty young Frenchwoman en- joying a plateful of the rich Little cakes that are so well made in Paris Just for once," was written on the rather green^, dy little face, but who could blame her she probably has holiday from, slimming foods, once a week and looks forward to it.

The fuller figure has also brought in its train а greater womanlines in all dress styles. Even the neat tailormade is now adored by a "dressy" blouse and a hat that is a provocation in itself.
The boyish silhouette has given way to that much more subtle charm of a young woman very much as Nature meant her to be slender, supple, but never angulir and starved

The clothes that are being made for the faller figure are long and slender in line. The skill of the dressmaker has to work in conjunction with that of Nature, and this is all to the good. Women no longer want to look like something Nature never meant them to look like. They aim at making the best of their good points and, the correc»–› tion of those which are faulty.
The atmosphere of the dress- making studios is freshened by this empathetic move towards Nature's works of art, and soon get we shall see mannequing with
