...fabric from poplin to pique to patent leather, and in price from less than $5 to well over $100, they come single-breasted, double-breasted, belted in back, on the sides, all the way around or not at all, spill off the racks in solid colors, stars, stripes, prints, polka dots and patterns. This year's favorite is flowers: from A for aster to Z for zinnia, they make a coat a serenade to spring; its wearer becomes a veritable walking garden.

To go auto racing with Chauffeur Glenn Ford, she slips into a pink bareback space suit; for alfresco breakfasting, Hope is a thing with feathers -blue ostrich plumes on a polka-dot peignoir.
