Show Unfurred Coats for Spring Wear f 1 By CHERIE NICHOLAS L V "-Y- K i v : ms 1 ?. ' jC V ' r a " - ', i J ' ' j V' t I Ic"' ' 7 ; 4 -1 If it is unfurred, Is made of a stun-6ing stun-6ing spongy wool weave, If it has a "tricky" scarf arrangement and an unusual sleeve, then, depend on It, the coat which answers to this description U a brand-new thls-season model. Just such a coat is shown In the Illustration Rita La Boy of Radio Players pictures, posing. Both the coat and the matching beret are fashioned of tweed, the new soft, spongy kind, in mottled beige and brown tones. A scarf collar, cape sleeves and a nar row leather belt are distinguishing features. Spring coat collections especially emphasize the favor for spongy fabrics fab-rics of nubbed mixture construction. Skipper blue, tan tones, browns, green and some red are prominent. Gray has come into its own for dressier models and white nubbed -black tweed registers smartly for sports types. Odd sleeves, new-type scarfs, low-placed low-placed big square revers and all sorts of belt treatments ranging from nar- row effects to wide soft-tied girdles of self fabric play their part in achieving achiev-ing coats of distinction. Button fastening Is another accent placed on the new models. In fact, the new and ingenious placement of buttons but-tons is a study In itself. One of the newest gestures Is the touching up of the coat with a dash of pluld silk. A coat In light navy, for Instance, detailed with a plaid silk scarf collar with plaid fucing the elbow-depth cuffs is as nifty as one may hope to see. By the way, scarfs must be worn smartly to be chic. Bright cravat ties are tied close up around the throat, either ascot fash-Ion fash-Ion or In a natty bow with long streamers. As a rule, the scarf is set snugly on the Inside of the collar. The chief mission of the scarf Is to supply a splotch of vivid color. . 1931. Western Newspaper Union.) |
