These three outfits--a suit, a coat, an evening frock-all follow the same idea. And it's a good idea. A backward swing to your skirt gives you the right line, makes you look slim and graceful.

LEFT: Tomato-red broadcloth three- black quarter-length jacket worn over a broadcloth suit. Top of the coat is cut to fit tightly, with too scams down the back. Flared Ifuliness springs from the todist, stands over the tight skirt. Elongated pockets carry out the line.

CENTRE: Evening frock made in black cire satin. All the lines run in the same direction, so that the eye is carried from the sweeping V of the bodice down to the flowing fullness of the skirt ... flowing to the back, of course. Fullness starts on the hips, the waistilne is moulded tightly. Hood and cape are of black face.

RIGHT: Overcoat in black broadcloth trimmed with Persian lamb. Contrast is made by the lines of the revers, which run crossways, and lines of the skirt, which are gored out and down from the pockets. Easy to walk in and smart to wear.
