iilns ii oi MILADY'S MODES Tells Secrets of Handbook on Latest Styles by the Jordan Company. Shaggy coats of fur are now giving way to those of less wintry aspect and the shops, or rather those departments of the shops, where apparel Is on display dis-play are full of interesting things for the summer outfit. Little by little the designers of spring and summer outfits have achieved the union of motor comfort and motor beauty, and, although we occasionally see a woman wom-an who still looks hopelessly unattractive in her motor clothing, the fault is the woman's instead of the designer and merchant's. mer-chant's. That at least is the view of Harry Kaar, manager of the Mercer-Jordan Sales company, com-pany, distributors of Mercer and Jordan cars. While friend Harry has not blossomed blos-somed out into a designer of women's fads and fancies, nevertheless he claims to be backed up by proof. The proof lies in a little handbook published by the Jordan company, which outlines the approved ap-proved styes for feminine motor costumes. cos-tumes. According to this book, there is something some-thing pretty and attractive for every woman motorist if she will but take the. time to hunt until she finds the right, thing and knows it when she finds it. j The most charming motor coats, com- 1 fortable and smart, are ready for spring. There are some slipover models in motor coats shown, but they are so new and 1 novel that it is difficult as yet to pre- J diet either their success or failure. The j models shown were of wool jersey in the' finer grades. One model was of henna-t henna-t colored velour, with the slipover opening at the side, in Russian blouse fashion; self-bands of the material simulated a yoke and formed a cuff hem or yoke on the narrow skirt portion. There was a very narrow tubular belt. The dolman lines are to be very popular popu-lar for motor wraps. One circular model, called the Liberty cape, is fashioned of, French blue serge and is made sleeveless, sleeve-less, with arm bands suspended from the shoulders by narrow self-straps. Red, white and blue leather fringe edges the long, one-sided scarf collar. A cape of this character is particularly adaptable for motoring, as it may be wrapped around one closely and givo splendid protection, while, on the other hand, it may be thrown back and give only slight warmth, as the wearer desires, fme of the new motor capes are belted across the front, the arms coming through wide slits some have verv monstrous collars and ' these are frequently of Angora. An unusually good looking motor coat is made of shaggy cheviot in brown, trimmed simply sim-ply with stitching and buttons. The turned-over collar is stitched and buttoned but-toned closely around the throat, while stitched bands finish the front and lower edges of the coat. Two large patch pockets pock-ets are topped with a buttoned band of stitching, and the cuffs are stitched also.
