\A '// /)) % /7 J*! * r:NIBLICK & CO. The Separate Coat for Spring There isn’t the slightest trace of the straight, stiff , , lines that characterized the Winter “reversible” in the * graceful Spring coats created by Bischof. With the addition of trimming, and original variations in revers, cuffs and color combinations, he has completely trans- f jlr formed them. 1 The Bischof Spring coats are all full length, about seven- || d/' fCwIX eighths fitted, with low side fastenings and trimmings applied to l/jf /1 M yfl give the fashionable one-side trimmed effect. Such wonderful in- i'/ I 111 ./ fl > genuity has been shown by Bischof in the different ways he carries M' / ffl J J out this idea in trimming that no two coats have the faintest resem- ’’ ■ I’l f I \J 1 blance. [I W | Revers are cut in a hundred odd shapes—a wide strap trimmed ' J J 1 \ in buttons anJ placed diagonally across the backs of coats is very IJ ■ / effective—coats are given a slashed effect as far up as the waist- ;? ' line and accentuated by buttons and simulated buttonholes. Kimona sleeve eliminated « The kimona sleeve is not used on any of the Bischof coats, ! I wv All the sleeves are set m with a seam at the armhole. They are . I ! cut rather full and widen out at the wrist, and some are finished I u, i [»■ vyj with deep turnback cuffs of the same material as the revers. i ! |'\ I The fashionable materials . iLx Many of the fashionable Spring materials have been used by I I ) Bischof for these coats. The preference is for plain serges and lAsHMf f worsteds, reversible cloths, two-tone effects, wide wale serges and f coverts. As these coats are just slightly fitted, and have such wide lli lapped fronts, materials which are smooth and clinging have been mHF favored by Bischof. K ; We are making a special feature of our separate coats this weelt. I.’ / MW The coat illustrated in this ad will give you some idea of the ad- T if vance styles you can get right here in your home town. We know that these coats will be quick sellers, so make your selection early. I This model is of serge with revers of white, stitched with braid. The sloping shoulders, bell-shaped sleeves and low side Kfr fastenings are especially noticeable.
