By LOUISE FLETCHER Times Women's Editor COATS ARE LINING up for the Easter parade in an unprecedented variety of lengths and colors and styles. They're as bright as the pages of a seed catalog and their fabric range covers ~worsteds, coverts, men’s wear stripes, rough crepes, gabardipes, shetlands, fleeces and suede and doeskin finishes. The silk cgat is back, too, and while it won't make an appearance in the church-going ranks on Easter Sunday morning, it's going to be present at the afternoon and evening occasions of spring and summer, ¢ o = s SHORT COATS MAY have a slight edge in popularity because

The former are the very brief styles which fit within WPB’s decree of 25-inch jacket lengths, and the latter have a WPB decreed 33-inch minimum length, The short-short coats have been dubbed capsule, jigger and half coats, but they have a full measure of smartness. Among the wrist-length models are miniature pea jackets of navy woolen with gold buttons; pastel and men’s wear flannels, and shetlands. They may be either belted or boxy. - 2 .

The baby balmacaan is the youngest version of this coat and when it's. done in a bright, soft duvetyne accented with black Victorian braid, it's pretty luscious looking. This trick of sparking up colorful wool coats with silky black accents is repeated in the use of frogs or of heavy black cable cord on collarless styles. Like the 25-inchers, the 33-inch “short stops” may have swing backs or they may be belted officer's models. The belted styles, of course, are definitely on the sports side except when they are

National Drive Will Feature Low Point Food

The job of planning Lenten menus will be eased for the housewife in a nation-wide drive expected to start soon and emphasizing “no-point— low-point foods.” Joining hands in the campaign, which is a part of the “food fights for freedom” program launched last fall, will be the retail and wholesale

{food distributing trades and the

war food administration. Foods available in quantities sufficient to justify lower point values, or none at all, will be featured. Among these are grain and soya bean products, spreads such s&s citrus marmalade and peanut butter, some processed and frozen vegetables, eggs, potatoes, oranges and grapefruit and other seasonally fresh fruits and vegetablss. Local nutrition committees will urge use of the more abundant foods as a means of preventing food waste, conserving scarcer foods and assuring the nutritional welfare of families.

Button-up models are about, too. One that appeared recently was in fine beige gabardine fastening a little off-center with a row of faceted jet buttons. Apparently destined for a leading role among the short coats is the mandarin style, collarless or with a tiny upstanding collarband and with its side seams slit like those of a brocade robe. Side vents also appear in jhe short Chesterfield. The short coats, by the way, are intended to achieve a neat, chiseled silhouette when worn with narrow, straightline skirts, and teaming them up with a flared or pleated skirt won't result in such a happy effect.
