'ull coats with billowy sleeves
e gone out of fashion, the late
phasis being on slim and form
ing coats.
Fur collars are no longer in
stayle for everyday wear although
they are still acceptable for dress
occasions. The furs used are fox
and mink.
"Double-breasted coats are very
in," said an Ann Arbor merchant,
describing what she thought to be
one of the most important changes
of the season. "That's one thing
you'll see everyplace."
Another popular addition to the
coat is the belt.
Suede cloth jackets are more
fashionable than ever this year,
especially with matching suede
slacks. Suede is also used for col-
lars on coats although - the trend
is away from the suede coat itself.
Longer Coats
Coats have been lengthened to
reach the middle of the leg.
Sleeves are slightly longer too.
The newest coat fabrics are
long-haired fleecy fabrics of mo-
hair, tweeds, and herringbones.
These new fabrics are accentuated
by new colors. Plaids, stripes and
coats of muted colors and of more
than one color seem to be catch-
ing on very well.
Held over from last year is the
cape or poncho. One very stylish
example modeled recently was a
cape of soft blue mohair with a
dark blue plaid lining in the hood.
All in all the season is one of
novelty and beauty with an em-
phasis on femininity.
An Upcoming'
Hat Trends
By JOHN WEILER
Women's hat trends this fall are
pointing in two distinct directions,
sporty hats and fabric hats made
to look like furs.
One famous New York designer
suggested that each woman should
own at least five new hats each
season. In his list he includes:
one for country weekends; one for
a sut; one for cocktails; and one
for evenings.
Colorful styles are also stressed
by this designer.bInstead of the
shock produced by "weird coif-
fures," he believes hats should be
as fashion complements.
Variety
But the styles of all the design-
ers are as varied as the other
fashions this season. Hats for
town are as sporty and slouchy
as "tweeds, sturdy boots and off-
beat furs."
For the city fashions, simple,
high-crowned hats are very much
in style. A bow band or facing of
suede is often added to these
furry felt hats.
On the Garbo-type brimmed
felts a chin tie is used to hold
down one side.
Popular Bowler
The bowler, which has been the
style in France, is now beginning
to become popular in this country.
The bowler, known in France as
the "melon" because of its shape,
has been selling at an astounding
rate of 25,000 each month.

Madras has long been a major
status symbol among many social
groups on campus who consider
it the epitomy of the "cool col-
legiate look."
Among the men, madras sport-
coats, bermudas, shirts, ski par-
kas, and watch bands are defin-
itely "in." It is even rumored one
fraternity man refused to attend
a big dance because his madras
sportcoat was not back from the
cleaners.
New Innovations
There are few articles of
women's clothing that cannot now
be purchased in madras.
Besides dresses, blouses, slacks
and purses, madras glass cases,
headbands, scarves, and madras-
trimmed wool skirts are rapidly
being developed and sold out.
The "genuine bleeding madras"
from India (which is also the most
expensive) holds the ultimate
status and is generally considered
the only kind worth buying.
Laundry Problems
However, this often presents
washing problems. One coed con-
fides that she accidentally put
a madras blouse in with a load of
white wash and now has a multi-
color wardrobe.
Another confessed that her ma-
dras raincoat had "bled" all over
a new olive green outfit and turn-
ed it into bright chartreuse.
