BY PARA DALTON,

Now that Christmas Is safely
past, women folks can turn their
thoughts toward early spring styles.
What zest style adds to life! Let's
be stylish, by all means!
Coats short. This Is the first die
tum of Dame Fashion for early
spring. The lengths vary from "a
to SO inches. Quite a change from
the 54-inch lengths, you murmur.
Yes, indeed.
The lines of the coat will be
straight and tailored. There will be
no attempts at fancy trimming.
eLoUsEs TO THE FORE.
In contrast to the straight, short
coat is the Russian blouse. This
coat has always ben a favorite be-
cause 1t suits many types of beauty,
or the lack of it. The prevailing
model will not be the strict Rus
sian blouse, which buttons on the
shoulder, but the kind which opens
straight down the front, with two
large revers rolling backward. This
coat is prophesied to become the
popular garment.
Skirts will be plated. Some of
the newest ones are so like those
worn several years ago that if you
have one such slowed away in your
trunk you may bring it out and
make believe it's one of the new
ones.
Many of the skirts will have the
overskirt effect. This is obtained
chiefly by fold around the skirt,
above or below the knees. Unfair
as it may seem to bar anyone from
enjoying the sensation of wearing

For evening gowns, chiffon and

used.
New spring hats are here. Nat

There Is no doubt" said the

ment where the hats are shown.
but that the hats will increase in
size as the season advances"
You look at the size of them now
and sigh.
In sharp contrast to the dull, nat
ural straws are the bright tones
and shades of the trimmings, ce-
rise, majenta and purple being con-
spicuous on many of them. Small
roses and other small flowers are
also used in the trimming.
Smart little tailor hats in irreg-
ular colonial shapes are ready for
wear with suits. II you peep inside
you see that some of the simplest
are marked only SIS or $50, quite
reasonable, of course, for one OF
the first spring street hats.
I'VE can never tell" said the
manager. what the best seller will
be. About the middle OF the sea-
son some style has run. We call
it good seller, while the exclu-
sive folks call it common. No one
can prophesy just what 1t will be.
In the season just passing 1t was
the beaver and the fur toque."
Simplicity in style seems to be
the keynote of the coming season.
but no one needs to infer that
there will be a corresponding SIM
plicity in price; so scratch, for
spring styles are at hand.

BLUE BLADE
Evening Story for Che F family Circle

1.-TWO months remained before the
sAps witch meet, the chief event of the
fall racing season. Man as well as
horse must train, must drive the
tremble out Of his hands, the CLASSY
weakness from his eyes. For he
was resolved that none but he
should ride him. Years of dissipa-
tion and hardship had wasted him
almost to the lightness of jockey.
AS the weeks went by, hard, soil
stary training upon the lonely downs
effected remarkable change. Blue
Blades coat became glossy. the old
spring came back to his limbs, and
the man, watching him, knew that
in spite of age he could still win.
Memories are short upon the turf.
He had to enter the horse under
his name, to produce evidence of
various sorts; but none of those
who laughed at the old nag coupled
him with the famous racer of years
before that had so unaccountably
failed to make good. And at last
the day of the race arrived.
They made a strange couple as
the man led his steed, trembling
with excitement and recollections
of earlier years, out upon the track.
"a freak mount" they called it.
They looked at Blue Blades teeth
and laughed. Odds of 100 to / were
offered, and the man placed G1O-
his last-upon the result. He
mounted; the gate rose. and they
were away. The rest was always a
dream to him.
1t was wild and tumultuous
dream of swift horses and many
colored coats, striving together.
crowding one upon another at the
turns. Unframed in the experience
of the start, he was left behind at
the beginning: a residue of stiff
ness in the old nag's legs hampered
him. Jacket after jacket went by;
was all his hope futile and he to be
the butt of the race? Suddenly he
felt his steed thrill and tremble be-
meath him. He pressed his flanks.
With long bound he had sprung
forward, his flying feet hardly
seeming to touch the ground. The
colored coats drew closer, blended
in a whirl of movement; he had
cleared the third bend and was rae
ing up the home stretch, neck and
neck with the leader, while MUIR
muir of sound rose from the assem-
bled spectators and became a
frenzy of cheers. Neck and neck;
he saw the judges stand in front Of
him: saw the lean, quivering flanks
OF his rival: then the tape broke in
a blood red bar on the old horses
breast. Blue Blade had come into
his own.
