We would advise the gentleman
to drop the idea of making home

complishments. 1t is bad bust
ness to follow, and is apt to bring
one in contact with a stray dose OF
cold lead. Enough other accom-
plishments are noted to insure the
gentleman a living, if he really de-
sires to live. But if he wishes to
commit suicide by tempting fate.
it's up to him.

loosely apart. There IS seam some
five inches from the edge, partially

More Concerning Headgear and Coats

and the crown much lower is in hello
trope colored velvet of light shade
Full twists of mauve tulle are ar
ranged scarf fashion about the crown,
being caught down near the center
front with plain, round amethyst
pin an inch across. Starting from
near this pin toward the right is a
chou of mauve velvet and from this
three ostrich plumes in three diff
ferent shades of heliotrope and mauve
trail over the crown and down over
the back brim. The palest one curves
around the right brim, and Off the

back, partially covering the crown,
and droops well down toward the
neck, and the third and medium-col-
ored plume curves toward the left,
nearly covering the crown as it sweeps

The growing popularity of motor
ing has created demand for the mo-
toring coat, which the manufacturers
have been eager to satisfy. But if a
coat especially dedicated to motoring
is too great luxury, one may choose
a coat that will answer for numerous
occasions-for driving, travelling and
general rough weather wear.
The Scotch and English manufac-
turers are having their innings in the
furnishing of material for such coats,
and serviceable tweed and cheviot
mixtures and other rough, loose woven
stuffs are the popular choice for the
big, loose, cleverly tailored coat.
Check and plaid effects innumerable
are produced in these materials, but
as a rule, the cOlors are so blended,
and the lines so vague that there is
