There are no two alike, except in, their originality and lovely quality and color. Just for instance There are rich black duvetynes which might be called either coats or wraps, with insertions of black silk thread. One rich purple with self-embroidery is a straight coat with gathers at the side. A- beige-colored wrap has the middle part of tho wrap carried out in tricolette of a lighter shade, the latter being used for the facings. A deer-brown coat has a fold at the waist and horizontal pinch tucks. Another deer-colored affair has facings of navy tricolette. Some of 'these wraps are severely simple. Prices are $150 to $275.

Then there is a silvcrtoned jersey, a heavy ribbed jersey, re versible so that the underside serves for trimming; and a light weight jersey that lends itself to a tucked style which is less severe than the true sports cut. One of the beauties of a sports suit is that its coat can often be worn as a sweater with white skirt and blouse. Prices are $25 to $50.
