FOR COOLER DAYS

CHARM OF THE COAT. Whether silk, sharkskin, grosgrain ribbon, taffeta, or summer wool, there is no denying the charm of this season's coats, which are such a necessary addition to the summer wardrobe for cooler days. Jackets, boleros, and finger-length coats are vying for popularity, and nearly every silk frock has its matching jacket, or contrasting coat cut to suit the frock.

There is no mistaking the chic of the formal tailored coat or the graceful edge to edge style. It is also smart to wear one of the uniform-like coats, cut very straight at the back, over one of the new “schoolgirl” frocks, with a gaily-pleated skirt. Just as effective are the looses' ’;ets that slip over the spring suit\ ! d are useful later for wearing with--Lummer frocks on a breezy day. , - The redingote style has retained its popularity, and a white redingote looks smart over a black and white spotted dress with a sunray pleated skirt. For an appointment in town wear one of the new collarless coats hanging straight to the hemline almost like a cloak, or one of the blue and white surah coats worn over a dark blue crepe dress. One of the newest shades in summer woollen coats is a soft blued-green, that is a spring-like, cool shade to wear.
