There is excellent opportunity for re-
peating any decorative idea at this point.
There is also a splendid solution OF hold
."i ~ the fullness OF skirt to preserve
the slenderness Of line. Beautiful bands
OF colored embroidery, of iridescent
beads or contrasting silk are doing this
deniably attractive.
The tunic Of chiffon. dropping in full
knes from the bolero. is gathered into

SUGGESTIONS IN
FURS

THIRST Of all. do not choose white fur
n unless you are a ravishing beauty
- and a moneyed woman. The white
is very trying to the skin. bringing out
ell hard lines and showing by contrast
any little defects in the complexion or
features.
For youth the soft white fox Is ap-
propriate. IL you have money to keep
t in . state of snowy cleanliness. and
II you are the possessor OF another SGT
for morning wear or for stormy days.
OF course, you must not wear ernine
or fox with business suits or with
stormcoats. And above all you will
not wear white furs If there Is any
doubt as to the wh!teness of them!
Ermine. especially the tailless kind.
IL very fashionable for dressy white
furs. 1t is combined with lace and
satin. and your very small muff OF two
years ago can figure as a part OF an
immense combination set of today. For
very small cost furrier will make UP
an old fur set into q straight long
scarf and a pillow muff. Do not al
low furs to rest in camphoratc!
oblivion In this season of fur!
chinchiiia is ,bs another expensive fa
means should resclutely turn. 1t is
beautiful and, being gray. combines so
we'll with any shade that the unthink-
ing will be prevailed upon. But 1t is
perishable and does not make over
with much success.
Opossum and raccoon are the fash
ionable peltry.,, Long-haired, lustrous
and not appallingly expensive. these
two rivals are much seen and are de-
serving of praise. Huge sets OF these
combined with, velvet. satin or other
furs are sold by the hundreds in our
great stores. They are light and warm,
they combine well with all colors and
they are undoubtedly serviceable.
Many women feel that little more
money In .long haired black or silver
fox will give better results in the end.
Right here let word be said about
the rose fox that we see In q few
choice selections. Paul Poiret. OF
Paris. first used the dyed fur with his
wonderful gowns. II you are consider
ing this at all. place the fur near your
face and gaze into the mirror by

FOR THE LITTLE
BOY

r TITLE boys must dress. you know.
and although q boys boy, he
- can be made to pass through
many delightful changes Of costume.
Comfort and simplicity arc the guide
points OF our little American boys
clothes. Tho latter insures easy con-
struction at home-a hopeful message
surely.
For cooler days there Is nothing %
childish and at the Same time SO dig
nified as the Byron collar and q soft tie
worn with a plain little suit. Striped
galatea or linen works up excellentIy

the waist and extending as far down as

much more inexpensive, is always
charming for afternoon wear. The hugo

to form deep c na as. The shield h Ss d,.

suit Is recommended.
During playtime he should not be
hampered by clothes that must not be
crushed or soiled or are in any way un-
comfortable. ''Ronpers" Of coarse linen
are best. In ono piece. with q round
neck, plenty of pocket room ana loose
belt to hold in the fullness, they repre-
sent freedom and common sense. In
deed. word might here be said for
this same style cf garb for little girls

that it Is cool and clean are SUFFICIENT

tie boy slip a one-piece coat that opens
