Certain “Coats for Winter Motoring

Certain fur coats, made of skins not treated to. change their appearance (except that some of them are dyed) make the warmest and smartest motor coats. Pony skins, leopard skin and unplucked seal are chosen for this kind of wear by those wito intend to face the cold with comfort and achieve a triumph of smart appearance at the same time. The pony Bkin is dyed black usually, although there is no good reason why the beautiful brown and white markings should be changed, if the coat is only to be worn in the car. But the black pony skin coat is* as practical for all sorts of wear as a heavy cloth coat, and as a happy choice for all-winter ajl-round use. One of the best models is shown in the picture. It is cut with ample shoulder width, straight and roomy sleeves, and fastens to one side. The sleeves are gathered in to rather dosefitting cuffs. The wide collar will roll up about the neck as high as is needed, or may be turned back. The model ls cut on straight lines, enfolding the figure closely. It Is as appropriate for the street as for the car. Leopard and unplucked seal are not dyed, but made up to feature their markings. They are handsome and unusual, and are more expensive than pony-

Cloth coats In the heaviest wool mixtures, designed for motor wear, are made in a great variety of styles and colors,. They are cut with a flare from the shoulders, as a rule, and are often belted in, as in the coat shown here. This is made with raglan sleeves and big patch pockets, and is finished with machine stitching. Many models have wide collars that button close , about the neck. The fad for mufflers and cape of yarn to match, makes the big collar less imperative, but is always a safe choice.
