THE WORLD OF WOMEN

Here's Streamline Chic for Spring!

New Form-Fitting Coats Flare

By Joan Savoy

At Knees-Buttons Emphasized

Nothing quite takes the place of a spring.coat. Long after warm weather has relegated the Easter suit to a garment bag, the cont will be useful to wear over silk frocks on cool summer evenings. And the market is so crowded with hand- Bome models that almost any wo- man will find hereclf praying for many cool nights.

Take those now trim, tailored numbers, for.instance. With their slim, form-fitting linea, they give a girl an air of smart sophistication. Fur and fussy details are used on dressmakers types but the tailored ones will have none of such distrac- tions. They rely on utter simpli- city for their charm and emphasize buttons (leather and wooden), necklines and fabrics.

revers,

The coat left in the sketch) in a perfect example of this stream- lined chic. Of tan and black woulien mixture with four im- portant pockets, notched lapels and four buttons, it is belted at the back and has a definite flare below the hipa.

The navy blue woollen dress (right) carries out the high- waisted idea of the new sports" clothes and is trimmed with four silver buttons.
