- RETTY MISS HORNER, of Lon

L direct descendant of Little Jack
Homer, has been doing it again.
She has set the style for Little Jack
Homer sleeve and she has inaugurated
something new in the shape of a round
embroidered collar. slashed at the arms
to give the appearance of a cape with
deep epaulettes. She has also brought
into vogue the braided vest showing
handsome braids put on in all colors
and executed in military designs. And
Miss Horner has invented a veil ali
trimmed with fringe.
BY these signs and many others one
IS reminded that il is fall. and that one
must think OF something new TO wear.
1t is time to come home and begin the
life of fall and winter. True. vacation
time is still on, but the thought of home
begins to be very inviting. And with
thoughts OF the Homecoming there be-
gin TO creep into the mind thoughts Of
the autumn wardrobe and plans for its
successful carrying out
And just here there comes a time
when the woman with plenty of money
possesses a great advantage over the
woman with none at all or very little.

man with a definite fixed allowance, and
that allowance a large one. can do al
most anything she wishes to do

anything and everything with the neces-
sary funds.
In the realm OF Jewels she has magnif-
cent opportunities. The opening up Of

until ones gown shows a glow of color
such as Il could never have obtained

wonderful green's are all TO be found
in these dress embrolderies.
II IS a fact that VIII not be disputed
that jewel trimmings go a great way
apon a gown. They can make a very
plain one over into a gorgeous gar
ment, and they can transform dress
of everyday elegance into something
handsome enough for a diplomatic re-
ception.
Indeed. the rejuvenating powers Of
ieWeled bands are so well known that
many women make point OF collect
ing them. buying them as they would
buy lace. as an investment. something

OF need.

expensive thing 10 buy. though one can
sometimes pick up bargains IN jeweled
laces and passementeries and do pretty
