J Photoplay's Reporterabout-totcn edith guipn 1T0W, of course, is the perfect time to talk about furs — espe|| cially the kind that can be carried over almost to the end of spring — though one wintery job that must be mentioned is the unique navy-blue seal casual coat that Doris Day has. (We don’t suggest you rush out and get one like it unless you have at least four other fur coats!) The front closing is banded with navy ribbed wool and it has push-up sleeves.

The cape is in straight rows — so that it really never reaches the neck, and the hooks are invisible, for they’re covered by the full, furry sable tails in little bunches of two or three, over the closing. It’s obvious that this little number would be much less expensive, but just as pretty and flattering in many kinds of fur — any kind, in fact, except those that are completely flat.
