Show T 1 Coats Shorter as Skirts Get Longer Las', year s suit positively will not do: Last year's suit, if you remember 1 correctly, frequently was so short of skirt and so long of Jacket that only a few inches of tho former showed below the coat hem as the fair wearer tripped along. Skirts hae been growing longer slncethen. The coats of this j ear's suits will be shorter The stralghtllne bo eoat Is most emphatically the coat of the hour The brenst pocket Is usually omitted omit-ted from this season's coats, and the1 two remaining pockets may be Inset 1 or patch affairs, as fancy dictates and the tailor agree.- The neck treatment of the coats varies considerably. Of i nurse, there Is always the notch collar, descending descend-ing in a sharp-pointed V to tne onel i button upon which falls the whole j burden of keeping th.1 soat buttonec. This spring has brought forth a ! legion of gay waistcoat effects, dainty j vestces, and richly embroidered blouse fronts which it is simply cruel j to r over up. So the suit coat obligingly oblig-ingly fastens at the neck in many' cases and flies open in the most gen-! erous and revealing fashion, without even a belt to subdue it. This new habit of fastening at the I neck instead of tho waist fine allow al-low two dollar treatments, which seem to be equally popular. One Is I the youthful Peter Fan collar, or a round nec k with no c ollar at all; the j other Is the scarf collar which many i women like because it enables them td dispense with a fur neck piece I and yet be comfy about the throat when a treacherous chilly wind a rises. |
