— Just the Thing for the Girl With the Flapper Shape Who Looks for a Change in Lressing Habits. Contrast Between Coat and Skirt Is the Im- portant Feature of the Dictum That Comes From Paris. By Margery Wells. HERE are all sorts that say, “The little sien hort coat will again be popular and in con trasting colorings.’ The news comes from Paris where tne idea is already am assured fact. So if you take up the fashion you have this au thority b Many American Idea of these sepa cut want \o ind your choice girls will like the e and informally coats because they, # rule, have the height and slimness to carry off the You know, of course, that a style of this sort was never meant for a fat lady, but when you have that flapper shape that 1s looking about now for a change in its ing habits, why this extra coat as much to recommend it to your attention. short design. These new separate coats ure not « they were some ten yours ago—all tailored and trimmed and well rounded off. Not at all! They are loose and graceful. They are cut and shaped with every attention to line that ba been given to the loose coats, ani they have their portion of uti sloppiness which adds them to the present fashions as a distinct achieve ment. Now it is a new white cout—a short that—with a black dress. Yet that is the plan und principle upon which these newer coats are being designed Or, if the coats are dark, then follow- ing the exisfing plan, that are worn with light—quite light—skirts. A Short White Silk Coat. The silk coats and capes, long of Mne and sweeping in design, have made the greatest sort of a this gummer. Every one who owns one of them has only kind words to say for ft. They have been wraps ext ly useful in the living of a summer life and it looks as though it would bo many seasons and years before we are willing to discard them. Now the short coat has adopted the same general tendencies and it appears upon the fashion scene with all of the confidence given by the force of a previously accepted model. In the picture we have one of these worn with a softly draped black crepe de chine frock. There is no attempt at the waist and skirt fdea. But the is added that soft little crepe white coat which is just enough covering for a summer day, which adds that dressed-up effect so desirable when one must be the least bit formal, and still It has that elastic pliable air about it which fits it for a costume for any hour of the day. ‘The coat is made of the heaviest of Canton crepes. Its sleeves are large and wide at the cuffs. There is plenty of fulness to be held in loosely by the belt. There is a wide and folding collar to give that becoming setting to the head. And then there is a ning of soft cream colored radium which helps to draw together the ex- treme black of the dress and the ex- treme white of the coat, Extra Short Coat of Camel’s Hair. The warmer short coats coming along for fall have many new points to thrill our hearts when we ure look- ing for domething to make us look totally different from the way we have been looking all along. The ones L ‘mean are those in the short coat class and those that have stepped out of the sports identification to the extent of dropping all those strictly tailored lines. They retain, in some measures, the materials which have made the sports clothes so dear to us, but they are adding extra feminine touches that put up their stock of charm in the most extraordinary n aner.
