For the laundry-bill conscious lass, Stephens has put out a dacron and cotton trenchcoat that is guaranteed washable. It is also wrinkle-resistant. White trench-coats are being shown, too--impractical but awfully attractive.

Trenchcoats are not the exclusive property of the female species. In fact, they originated with the male.

For the Proper Chap

Not only the trenchcoat model, but a variety of raincoats of Egyptian imported (via Britain) cotton are available to the well-dressed man this year. (Macintosh is the brand name to remember). This is of particular interest to the warm-blooded college man who tends to wear his raincoat for a year-round coat.

While women are trying to look like balloons or gunny sacks, men are generally content to look like men.

Crew-necked Shetland sweaters in solid colors are still the favorite in the Ivy circuit. Dark grey continues to be popular, but olive green is the fast-rising color of the season.

Trying to compete with the Shetland, though not always successfully, is the heavy ski sweater in a multitude of variations. Some have that just-arrived-from-Norway look with elaborate design. Others are solid-colored, crew-necked, with only a border design for distinction.
