(HWTS \\ // /]) /)/) ) & CO. The Separate Coat for Spring There isn’t the slightest trace of the straight, stiff , v 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 transformed them. v "& The Bischof Spring coats are all full length, about seven- li 11/ ',— eighths fitted, with low side fastenings and trimmings applied to "/l /\ M tav t give the fashionable one-side trimmed effect. Such wonderful in- .1 ■'/ I 111 fl A ~ gcniritv has been shown by Bischof in the different ways he carries | 7 I ffl V 4 out tius idea in trimming that no two coats have the faintest resem- lil|'| 4 ////I \ II blance. in if I /m/ \a I Revere are cut in a hundred odd shapes—a wide strap trimmed If jj *7 I \ in buttons and placed diagonally across the babks of coats is very i||| ■ ' I effective —coats are given a slashed effect as far up as the waist- 111] ■ 1 % line and accentuated by buttons and simulated buttonholes. I]/ I 1 I Kimona sleeve eliminated Ji: ' J The kimona sleeve is not used on any of the Bischof coats. f I Ul|i Al! the sleeves are set in with a seam at the armhole. They are jDJ | ftWg \x cut rather full and widen out at the wrist, and some are finished j ,-v I M •with deep turnback cuffs of the same material as the revers. | / The fashionable materials jkj \ j ! Many of the fashionable Spring materials have been used by 1 II 'I Bischof for these coats. The preference is for plain serges and C worsteds, reversible cloths, two-tone effects, wide wale serges and '.aJjW if '• jifer coverts. As these coats are just slightly fitted, and have such wide lapped fronts, materials which are smooth and clinging have been f favored by Bischof. BbT '■ill/f We are making a special feature of our separate coats this week. ® i! ’fl 91 The coat illustrated in this ad will give you some idea of the ad- 111 1/1/ 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. 1 @ This model Is rd serge with revers of white, stitched with braid.
