Any woman should be able to make
the new hipless coat. The main point
lies in the straight underarm seam.
and this, IL necessary, can have heavy
leaden coin sewed TO it TO keep IL from
curving in at the waist line or from
fiaring out at the bottom. To be hip
less one needs simply to let out the
waist line until It reaches the limit of
the hips. The latter can be fitted
more snugly II the underarm seam be
left open from a little below the hips
downward. This split will allow room
when the wearer sits down, and the
rest of the coat may be fitted without
the slightest fullness.

And, In passing. let me say that Grape
frocks both in silk and woolen effects
are going to be very smart this spring
But. TO talk OF wool suitings, they
seem TO incline rather TO one tone col

weaves. canvas wcaves and a cloth

conspicuously, but the unfinished goods
are preferred to the bordered woolens.

line Of soft coloring running across the

In spring shades the smoky grays

suitings. A number OF exquisite
greens, dark and neutral blues. the
usual assortment Of beige, mulberry
tones and wistaria are offered for mi

NATIVE WEATHER PROPHETS.

II Merritt Onyun's theory about snow
storms pans out all right this trip we1l
have snow ten feet deep and then
some this winter. Merritt maintains
that for every white frost IN November
We shall have a snowstorm. Now. it
is a fact that we have had white
frost nearly every night this month.
and you can easily see what's going to
happen If Merritts prophecy comes
true. And it's going to be colder than
blue blazes too. lie Roy Strawn SAYS
whenever the potato skins are thick
you can look out for a long stretch Of
zero weather, and lie Roy declares he
never saw the potato skins as thick
as they are this fall. We shall watch

in the hope that we can say that they
are two Of the biggest prevaricators
in the state Of Illinois.
