The ensemble, named "Loch Ness," combines a slender wool frock with a hip-length jacket of the same fabric designed with long front "tails"
furred in gray fox. It is accompanied by a narrow brimmed hat of dark green felt with a fluff of the same gray fur on top of the crown.
The article is on this page at the bottom of column 2. It's easier to read if you drag it on to your desktop .
