I French Coats Uhac The Military Note. , There Is nothing a child dotes on vilIko shiny metal buttons. Plonty of (i them on a now spring coat will bring joy unspeakable to any childish heart Irrespective of sex. Many of tho Paris coats for llttlo girls are strongly military mili-tary in suggestion and one observes that all theso French coats for spring aro extremely simple In line and that thero Is a tendency toward dispensing with the belt Ono of Lanvln's famous fam-ous little coats is pictured. Of course, every French mother who can afford to, goes to Lanvln when new attire Is wanted for the small daughtor. Lanvln Lan-vln specializes in children's raiment In, llttlo girl's raiment, ono should add and her attractive rooms are filled with big, beautltul dolls which pose as models to exploit now and original frocks, coats and bonnets for weo girls 'Tho Lanvln coat pictured Is made of soldier bluo cloth with wldo whlto braid, narrow black braid and polished pol-ished brass buttons that do brightly shine.
