Easily Made Corset Covers.

Embroidered nainsook and Swiss

stitched an inch or an inch and a half

With the approach of the winter
thoughts turn to the furs. and no little
anxiety is felt as to whether old gar
ments will adapt themselves to new
modes. In the matter of design it is
whispered that n simpler spirit will
prevail during the winter. On the
shorter fur garments it is reasonably
sure that coattalls will appear and
that collars will be fiat. Sealskin, it is
predicted. will find a rival in MOLE
skin, although the change may be tenn
porary. Moleskin has a charming
color and is peculiarly suitable for an
outer garment because of its neutral
but bright tone, which harmonizes SO
admirably with any shade. Moleskin,
too, Is perfect background. for all the
favorite gems. An attractive winter
costume might comprise a skirt tone
lighter than the fur coat. The blouse,
hat and silk petticoat with these ac-
cessories would be charming in either
cream color, pale blue, mauve, dainty
pink or an emerald green. A moleskin
toque finished with n touch of bright
color is always attractive.

| Women are so constituted that they

| such are in constant danger of being
wholly submerged by the small calls

In the access of "Eew ideas" women
are in danger of crowding their lives

work and still another has new form
OF "new thought" once week.

Although women were never in such

Housework cluttered with the new
ideas would kill woman If it were
