NEAT TRAVELING COAT

CAN BE DEVELOPED IN A VARIETY OF MATERIAL Styles Just Now May Be Said to More Nearly Meet the Requirements of the Wearer Than Any Previously Introduced. Coats for motoring and traveling more nearly meet every possible requirement demanded of them than have any heretofore Introduced. They are roomy throughout, comfortable, smartly tailored and express a chic ensemble that could not be Improved upon. Here, for example, is one that may be developed in club-checked or blue serge, covert cloth, pongee, or even linen crash. The collar can be left open as well as closed by unbuttoning the right overlapping front of the coat and turning it back in a triangular lapel. The front of the coat shows a broad belt introduced from the sides through oblique eyelets. A double-breasted effect is maintained both in the blouse and, skirt portions, which brings the line of closing well over the left side. The flared upstanding collar is held erect by a band that encircles the base of the neck, then turns downward, following the line of closing of the blouse. It fastens with a row of flat nickel buttons. The skirt of the coat is gathered beneath the belt, but at the sides and

in back the lengths from shoulder to hem are In one piece flaring below the waist. Note the clever pockets which so consistently repeat the buttoned band arrangement of the collar. There is a new summer fabric that would Tie splendid for this model should It be used as a dust coat, and that is khaki-kool, a new khakicolored raw silk weave particularly recommended for coats and suits.
