WINTER

COATS

A

Ta hen lunch party the other day the dozen or so women present fell to discussing winter coats. One woman said she'd bought a very plain cont to go with her furs, and another was looking for just the right type of fur capelet to go with a collarless coat; yet another considered that a winter coat.without a fur collar simply wasn't worthy of the name.

My immediate neighbours at table had both decided that since you can wear a country coat in town but not a town coat in the country, they have chosen really snug and warm tweed coats, und for the dressy "do's" in town would wear their fur coats- whether they (the wearers) melted or not!

So far as fashion is concerned, they can all do just as they wish and all be in the swim. Fur skins--especially silver fox-are just the peak of chic, and If you're lucky enough have them you'd be foolish indeed not to get a collarless coat to gu with them; equally fur capes. And if you choose a fur-trimmed coat you can please yourself as to whether it has the highest and broadest collar you've ever seen, or neatly tailored revers and trimmings of Bat fur.

I came across the neatest conts in novelty woollen last week, which are specially designed to wear with fur stoles on capes. One of these is eut slim and straight, the sleeves slightly full, and a narrow collar just rolled back in front. But what gives this model real character is the pin-tucking on the shoulders to form a sort of yoke and matching tucking on the cutts and patch pockets.

Wedding Gift Ideas

A good idea is one of the new inkstands carved out of a solid sinb of jade. This is also an ashtray and a Block, and makes a andsome ornament for a library, wellingroom or bedroom.

A silver clock-cum-barometer- cum-thermometer would be ap- precated in any householt und an article of alt Georgian silver or a gift of uk silver labels for wine bottles and decanters would be high- ly prized by a newly-married couple. Cructs have beroine a joke as fur as wedding gifts are concerned. The result is that many newly-weds find themselves without anything to hold their condiments.

The latest idea is to have a cruet made in the form of silver flowers with golden stamens. from which pepper and salt can be shaken like pollen.
