THERE'S a coat for every mood this year, and

TH

for every hour of the day or night-and for every purse, There are straight coats, flaired. coats, long ques and short, trimmed and plain- conts for the fat and coals for the thin. Pay your money and take your choice.

But whatever you do, don't regard your coat as tirolated possession. It must be closely related to the gown with which it is worn. It must agree in purpose and design, it na in color or texture.

The modern mode stresses perfection as a whole. allows no part of the wardrobe to play a tar role. The coal, dress, hat, shoes, gloves and bag must all contribute to a general effect. That is why each must be relected in relation in the other.

For wear with the straight, sports type of dress, there are plain, straightline coats witll good tailoring. made of treed or coating fabrics. For the more feminine type of dress, there are coats of light weight wool or silk, fur trimmed, or given an unusual collar treatment and incrustations of the material.

For formal afternoon wear in summer are charm. ing wraps of chiffon, moire, crepe, or taffeta, and for evening are diaphanous chiffons, rainbow taf- fetas and transparent velvets in all shades, cut so as to show subtle drapings and to create a flowing, graceful line.e

While most coats are straight and fairly snug at the lipline, the flaired coat is by no means over looked. It is particularly smart for the youthful figure with the slender waistline. It does have a delightful swing and is essentially summery and Buttery.

1. This coat, created by Worth, is beige clath and is collared and enffed with brown astrakan. It is adapted to general wear and traveling, and is zuitable for any day occasion with

· simple frock underneath.

For the woman who cannot spend a great deal of money on her wardrobe, this is a most practical and modish garment, for it is as much at home in the smart restaurant as on the avenue or in the ton- neu of a motor car.

The most siriking feature of the coat is its cuffs' which extend above the elbow. The gloves, with their white pearl buttons and bell-shaped cuffs, are also from Worth.

The close-fitting turban is of beige felt matching the coat and was created by Madame Suzy.

II. For the woman who can wear the unusual. this Mag-Helly coat is a worth-while posses- tion. Made of kashadrap, the garment is unbeliev ably soft and ultra-modem in the angularity of its sleeves and closing. The collar, which fastens in the back, somehow suggests romance and mystery and is not for the woman who is "not the type for this all but unique.garment.

The vidid contrast achieved in this coat bars it

from becoming a style for everywoman, for unless it is worn by the type of person who can "get away" with the unusual, it appears not dashingly chic, but merely bizane.

III. Bendel offers this hat for wear with the chif-

fon or crepe coat. It is a large model of gold-colored straw with its brim trimmed with insels of Swiss draw. Needless to say, this chapeau is dedicated to beauty rather than utility,

The large hat comes into its own during the sum- mer, when it lends grace and fragility to filmy after- noon gowns. The type of hat shown in the photo- graph bids fair to enjoy great popularity during the

current season.

IV. A relief from the more severe type of close-

fitting hat is this toque from Jane Blanchot.. The foundation of this charming hat is black Bang- kok braiding over which is cleverly draped narrow silk braiding in black and white. This model is suitable for wear either with a coat or tailleur.

VFor an odd ensemble in an alrendy well-stocked wardrobe, nothing could be more lovely then

this Bernard et Cie afternoon ensemble.

The cost is dark pink and scallops outline every edge of it, even the bell-shaped sleeves and the turnover collar. The frack underneath is of gear. gette in a lighter shade of pink,

Inserts of this material on the sleeves and front

of the cout give the effect of stripes.

The frock has a surplice opening and a side jabot. The hat worn, with this ensemble is fashioned on the lines of an old-time "poke bonnet."

This ensemble is just a bit "dressy" and is not At all adapted for sports wear. Its greates! useful- ness is for afternoon, either as a street costume or as a tea outfit.

VI. Worth is the creator of this sports model cont

which is really part of an ensemble. It is made of brown and white tweed and cut on jaunty, comfortable lines. The coat has a simple tuxedo opening and is held into neat silhouette by a leather belt in two tones of brown;

The most striking feature of this coat is its scari of brown, while and orange crepe de chine which falls casually over the garment's seal-collar...

The one notably feminine touch to this outfit is the bunch of tweed and leather flowers that adorn the lapel. But even this unique floral decoration is a bit sposty and tailored because of the material of which it is fashioned.

All the coats shown on this page are recent cre ation of celebrated 'Parisian couturiers and are authentic expressions of the current mode,

Coats, at has been said, may be simply tailored and fit snugly over the hips, or they may flair. But they must harmonize with the rest of the costume.
