SUITS AND COATS FOR FALL

General Tendency Is to Show Outline of Figure Without Making Garment Tight-Fitting. A few suit coats are cut knee length, and many trimmed with fur bands are even longer. Jackets all jshow a fitted tendency above the waistline and nearly all are full and flaring over the hips. The general tendency is to show the outline of the figure without making of coat tight-fitting. The collars of new suit coats are very high, especially at the sides and back. They are made so that they can be worn open or closed at the throat. Suit skirts are cut on simple lines. A few plaits are used, and many models have a yoke around the hips. Skirts ire a little longer. Separate coats are longer than last year. Sport coats are about knee ength. Some are close-fitting above he waistline, others are semi-fitted, vhile many hang loosely from the

shoulders. Frequently a yoke Is cut at the shoulders with the lower part of the coat hanging loose and flaring from the yoke. All coats are very full and flaring around the bottom. Cape collars and sailor collars, either long,, square or cut in points, are highly favored for separate coats. Other collar ideas are those that softly roll, and military types that stand straight up.
