There is a single rever which with

large pearl buttons. one at the belt
and the other Just beneath the

Crepe ds chine. which at first
thought might seem too light a
fabric for the coat frock. has in fact
been used in several charming
frocks of this description? Some-
times piaitings are used with the
crepe de chine and the long, fairly
close sleeves that seem to be an
essential of the coat frock at pres-
ent are found here. A charming
model is in rust crepe de chine with
plaited ruflie of white georgette
forming a frlll on the right side of
the bodice portion and the left side
at the skirt.
Satin ls Oerviceebie.
Satin and moire. fabrics that have
been more smart than popular this
summer. are well adapted to the
coat frock for wear on moderate
days in summer. The sntln coat
frock especially makes an excellent
frock to wear when motoring. owing
to its dust-shedding propensities.
The attached scarf collar further
recommends to the motorist the coat
frock of navy blue satin shown in
one of the sketches. which is em-
broidered rather lavishly in pastel
coiorlngs.
Sometimes the coat frock is an
inviting substitute for the suit. The
coat frock has many of the good
points of the suit and the distinct
advantage that it is easier to put
on. The smartly tailored suit has
been heralded for autumn and we
are assured that there will be a re-
vival of interest in all sorts of suit

severe suit distinction and feminine
charm. The coat frock really is as
good a medium for these accessories
as the suit and it may be a more
convenient one.

be the medium for intricate and
