Skirts Still Narrow.

The skirts are, in the main, narrow.
few models show slightly draped ef-
fects, and there are some models in
which plaits have been introduced. But
on the whole the idea Of a narrow skirt
has been maintained.
The tailored suits are often in the really
mannish styles. And mannish cloths are
also used. These are in dark colors
and rough weaves. DoubIe-faced cloths
are much used. All effects are quiet
An important feature is the preponder-
ance of long sleeves for afternoon dresses.
Practically every jacket suit has the full
length sleeve. All Of the waists accom-
panying the three-piece suits, as well as
the bodices Of afternoon dresses, have
long sleeves. = 500
Sometimes this lower sleeve has a
slight fullness toward the elbow, which
Is drawn into a cuff. But there are
no extreme effects In sleeves: no star
thing novelty to revo!utionize garment cut
ting. The conservative spirit governs.
The desire is to make salable. wearable
dresses. suits and wraps. From their
cantact with SO many American buyers
1t has been learned that too extreme and
too advanced ideas are as bad for trade
as anything could possibly be.

Fall Collars.

A large variety Of fall collars IL being
shown for fall. While he newer models
do not show the regulation sailor collar.
many are made with the new shaped sail
or, which almost reaches to the waist
line, but is considerably narrower than
the old style. Large round collars and
pointed collars are also much in evidence.
Hoods and hood effects are meeting
with considerable success. Some Of the
coats have the collars made SO as to
have an adjustable hood which can be
used to cover the head when desired.
When unbuttoned it forms sailor col
lar.
Double collars, consisting Of deep
cape collar coming over the shoulders and
a small rundown collar, usually Of an
other material. are also seen In the lines.
While the majority Of coats have the
turn-down collar, a few are made with
the standing military collar.

THE DAILY CHIT-CHAT.
By Ruth Cameron.

"She was married by momentum
I wonder of how many married women
| that might be said
pathetic little letter lies on my desk.
1t is from young girl who has discov-
cred that she does not love the man she
is engaged to marry in less than two
months.
But what can I dor she cries, Il
have almost all my trousseau and most
of my household things My girl friends
have given me showers. and we've even
picked out the house and hired it, and
we're beginning to talk about setting
the actual date for the wedding. I've
been afraid for two OF three months that
l didn't care enough, but that was what
made me realize just how bad l did
tually being married on this day or that
1t just seemed as if everything went
black. l felt as if I were being sem
fenced to prison. Isn't that a perfectly
awful way for bride to feel?
But what can l do? How can l break
it off? What will people say? What
will he say? Oh. Miss Cameron, some
times when / wake up in the night and
ing crazy, or, as II it must be all a ter
rible dream. But I can't possibly turn
back. Can I?'
wonder what the other women who
nave Dcen III tndt same pOSltlOn anu nave
gone on would say to II can't possibly
turn back. Can I?'
l am afraid they would laugh if they
heard it-that terrible, bitter. melancholy
laugh-like the laugh of the girl that
Dick painted in 1.-The Light That Failed"
which is the saddest sound in the world.
You think it takes more strength than
you've got to stop now" they would say.
Now how much strength do you think
it's going to take to go on and live
forty fffV sixty with
you don't lover
One mistake never corrects another.
The bramble bush philosophy of our
nursery rhyme doesn't work In real life.
This girl has made one terrible mistake
in getting engaged to a man she doesn't
love. She certainly can't correct it by
making the even more terrible blunder
of marrying him.
Listen, my dear girl-and any others
who may be in similar position-tirst.
don't be swayed by any passing mood Of
resentment or overtried nerves in this
matter. Be sure you know your own
reasonable test of time. But once you
are sure don't let any considerations OF
what people will say or what he Will say
have a feathers weight with you. Think
how much worse things they would prob
ably say at the divorce suit.
Go ahead and do what you know is
right and best, and you will find strength
for all the determinations and embarrass-
ments and misery of broken habits that
can possibly come.
Go straight ahead and If discouraged
moments come hold tight to your heart
the comfort that six months Of misery Is
better than sixty years.
You feel as il you were in a terrible
dream. You are. And you can awaken
yourself now If you will make the effort.
But marriage would convert your dream
into reality from which you could never
awake.
May you have the strength to do what
God means you to and find the best hap
piness that He has in store for you.

AMUSING GAMES
FOR halloween

Fortune telling is always in favor with
the young people-and the older ones.
too-and when one is not skilled In read
ing palms or in telling fortunes with
cards the following plan furnishes much
amusement for a crowd:
One OF the girls in the party Is dressed
as witch and sits at q table or in a
little improvised hut" in one corner OF
| the room with her broomstick beside her.
Her black cat, to which she appeals for
help In telling the fortunes. is also there.
The fortunes consist OF questions and
answers. The witch has list OF ques-
tons with ten answers for each one.
When one Of the party comes to have
his fortune told she asks him these ques-
| tons and bids him answer with some
number from one to ten, then she con-
suits her cat. or, in other words. the
paper in her lap, and reads the answer
opposite the number he gives. The ques-
tions and answers may be as original and
| varied as one likes, and when all the
guests are we'll known some amusing
answers may be prepared. One list,
which answers both serious and humor-
| Gus, was as follows:
What is your aim in life?
What quality do you most admire in a
| manor girl?
What is your disposition?
Where would, you like to live?
What is your favorite name?
What do you most dislike?
What is to be the occupation Of your
| life partner?
An amusing game Is guessing pro
| files. These may be made by having
each guest sit for moment in a dark.

throwing the shadow OF his face on a
sheet. The profiies may be traced on
quickly by holding a thin paper up t.
the sheet, and. when every one has beer
taken the profiles are cut out and
numbered and pinned up around the
room. Each guest Is given q pencil and
he can guess. The guessing is not a.
easy as one might imagine. and some
laughabie mistakes are made. To the
one who, has the most correct list OF
answers a. choice OF the profiles is given
| as souvenir.
Guessing ghosts. is an interesting
game one hostess planned. She asked
each guest to bring the earliest photo.

Though it is known Miss Benedict's in
heritance is great fortune, it is impos-
sible to figure the exact amount due her
because of the complicated state of af-
fairs since the deaths of her mother and
aunt. Mrs. Earl. who died about eight
cen months ago.
Charles s. Aldrich. an executor of her
estate. said that one provision of Mrs.
Earl's will created an immense trust
fund for Mrs. Benedict. part of which
was to revert to the daughter on her
mothers death. Miss Benedict received
also life interest in trust fund, which
was to have begun upon her mothers
death. in addition to a gift Of money
made by Mrs. Earl prior to her death.
Some of the legatees Of Mrs. Earfs will
decided also to create out of their shares
a life fund of $4,000 for her.
On all of these requests Miss Benedict
was to have begun to realize upon the
death of her mother. but when she made
an effort to get some of the money she
found that it was necessary for her to
consult her father, who had been ap-
pointed her guardian long ago.
