I HAVE just made the rounds of the 
fashion shops. The newest winter 
modes make one look as slim as a pencil! 
Occasionally, we find fullness introduced 
low in the skirts by means of circular 
godets or pleats placed at each side or in 
the front. The back is flat and plain. 
We hear rumors of the short waist line 
returning and there is a hint of it in the 
placing of trimmings. The majority of 
the frocks are beltless. For those who 
can not wear this style, there is the narrow 
string belt still worn at the hips. 
Skirts are decidedly short, averaging 
ten to twelve inches from the floor, de¬ 
pending on the type of the dress and— 
while skirts go up sleeves come down. 
The new cloth and silk dresses for day¬ 
time wear show long, tight-fitting sleeves. 
Fabrics are more gorgeous than ever. 
The three-piece suit, or ensemble suit 
as it is called this year, is both fashionable 
and practical. It makes a lovely after¬ 
noon dress and it is not too dressy for 
street wear. It consists of a dress and 
full-length coat made of taupe junio 
cloth, one of the new suede fabrics, 
trimmed with bands of flying squirrel. 
The dress is a narrow straight-line beltless 
style made of taupe silhouette crepe. The 
V-shaped neck and the bottom of the 
skirt and sleeves are trimmed with 
applique bands of the coat fabric. 
The full-length coat is lined with 
silhouette crepe. It is graceful and be¬ 
coming to either miss or matron. It is 
serviceable because it can be worn for a 
long coat over other dresses this winter and 
will make a nice top-coat for the spring. 
A serviceable suit is of dark bottle green 
of the waist and a yoke across the back 
add a tailored effect. The collar and cuffs 
are of black moire ribbon edged with 
bands of China-yellow crepe de Chine. 
A black moire ribbon tie adds a smart 
touch. 
The afternoon frock proves the popu¬ 
larity of vivid colors. It consists of a 
long tunic fashioned of embroidered 
tangerine crepe and worn over a black 
satin slip. The slip is made narrow and 
sleeveless with a round neck bound with 
narrow bias folds of satin. The tunic is 
cut straight in line, extending to two 
inches from the bottom of the slip and 
finished with a four-inch hem. Narrow 
bias folds finish the edge of the round neck 
and the back edges of the tunic. The 
dress is trimmed at the hip line and wrists 
with a band of black stain appliqued with 
tangerine crepe. One bound button-hole 
at the neck and four at the hip line and 
black satin buttons fasten the tunic to the 
slip at the back so that the black slip gives 
the appearance of a back panel. 
The winter coat of rust brown suede- 
finished material introduces the new shawl 
collar with re vers extending to the hem 
line and cuffs of natural muskrat. A 
self-colored lining is used with a band 
trimming of crepe to match the fur. 
Many of the coats are seven-eighth 
length, but for all-occasion wear the full 
length is preferred. There are many 
novelty furs featured this year for coat 
trimmings, such as fisher fitch, various 
dyes of squirrel, nutria and panther. 
Coats of chinchilla in soldier blue, 
brown, grey and rust shades with nutria 
collar and cuffs in the style illustrated are 
seen in the junior sections. Some have 
the set-in sleeve and some the raglan. 
Jersey, serge, flannels in checks and 
Scotch plaids are trimmed with linen or 
pique for school dresses. For dress, 
velvet, crepe and wool ehallis with crepe 
de Chine bands and applique trimming 
are considered smart. 
Taupe Ensemble Suit with Flying Squirrel Trim. Winter Coat in Russet with Muskrat. 
Street ’Dress of Faille. Afternoon Frock of Tangerine Crepe. See Article for Description- 
Lovely soft suede-finished fabrics are 
extremely smart for coats and suits. 
They are shown in rosewood, penny, 
saddle and seal browns, navy and black. 
The woman who loves color can have 
green, cranberry and ox-blood reds. 
Cashmere weaves and kasha, a material 
resembling flannel though much softer 
in texture, are used for Cloth dresses. 
Bengaline is by far the newest in silk 
fabrics for street and tailored frocks. 
Canton faille, silhouette crepe, which 
closely resembles crepe faille, crepe satin, 
velvet and brocaded georgettes are used 
for the dressier frocks. 
Black and navy dresses are illuminated 
with vivid trimmings and facings in flame, 
jade and a new shade called lacquer red. 
Light beige, champagne, putty, cinna¬ 
mon, rust and shades of blue are used in 
afternoon frocks. The colors are not 
harsh like the shades used this summer, 
but lovely soft shades that blend in 
beautifully with the winter furs and 
wraps. 
For evening parties, white, pink, light 
tomato, pale rose, maize, Nile, orchid, 
peach, and a new cherry shade are 
favorites. 
Styles the Picture Illustrates 
I have selected some new winter 
garments which I think are particularly 
good looking and which illustrate the 
styles worn this season. 
suede finish cloth combined with grey 
kasha cloth. The tailored dress of this 
material is buttoned down the front with 
green buttons. The coat is lined with 
grey kasha with collar and cuffs of grey 
’possum. With a matching dress of 
crepe silk the young miss has a complete 
winter wardrobe. 
If you are not planning to get a new 
winter suit, you can have an ensemble 
suit by making a dress of crepe to match 
your winter coat. Be sure to use one of 
the narrow straight-line dress ’’patterns. 
If you prefer a dress for street wear, 
choose a pattern for one of the boyish 
styles or a coat-style dress with tailored 
set-in pockets. 
Coat Dresses Continue Good 
Speaking of coat dresses, they continue 
to 1 be fashionable, especially for the older 
woman. This year the coat dress is 
straight in line with tuxedo or shawl 
collar. It closes at the side front with a 
large button o;* decorative tassel orna¬ 
ment. It is not difficult to make and 
there are so many pattern variations for 
this type of dress that one can always find 
a becoming style. 
The straight-line dress is made of black 
canton faille with fullness suggested by 
the new box-pleated tunic which starts 
just below the hip line and extends three 
inches from the hem of the skirt. Tiny 
set-in pockets on each side of the front 
The Trouble Maker 
{Continued from page 381) 
pain and to give confidence to those who 
faced despair. 
Now they stood back to let him take 
command. He quickly crossed the little 
circle enclosed by the crowd and knelt by 
Jim. Rapid and efficient hands and eyes, 
trained to know the vital spots, went 
over the unconscious form. Then he 
turned to the little jockey. This last 
examination was short. 
“This man is dead,” he said gruffly, 
to the officer with him. “Send for the 
undertaker and have him removed.” 
When Dr.» Westman turned back to 
Jim again, he found the young farmer 
sitting up looking rather dazedly upon a 
world which insisted upon going around 
and around. The doctor gave him a 
stimulant and in a few minutes Jim 
was able to walk, with the help of the 
doctor’s arm and with his scared little 
sister, to where his horse was tied. 
Everyone had heard what Jim had 
done and his unsteady walk was some¬ 
thing of a triumphant march. Not in 
many a long day would the farm folks of 
Speedtown forget how Jim Taylor had 
risked his life to prevent the horse from 
running amuck in the crowd. Willing 
hands hitched his horse to the buggy, 
and he and his sister drove home. 
When Dr. Westman was returning 
to the main part of the grounds, a timid 
hand touched his arm. He turned and 
found Dorothy Ball trying to ask a 
question. 
“Doctor,” she said, “was he—was he 
badly hurt?” 
“Which one?” asked the old man with 
an odd gleam in his eye. 
“Jimmy,” said the girl,, “I—I mean 
Jim Taylor. Is—is it serious?” 
“Serious? Of course not,” smiled the 
physician. “Couldn’t kill young Taylor 
with a meat axe. Be all right in a day or 
so.” {To he continued)
