THE SMART COATEE

Smart little coats are to ,e seen in
every Imaginable color. With a shot
mauve and pale blue gown one in
mauve turned back with pale blue is
worn, with a white gown en- eau-de-
nil silk coatee is chosen. and, moro
startling than could be expected from
negatives of color, is a gown IN tlack
gauze frilled round the hem. and wor,,
with a coat of white silk bordered
with black and finished at the neck
with a deep collar of cluny lace over
black.
This last gives the whole a most
distinguished look. A pale gray wolfe
gown with a long pannie. tunic has
the bodice in soft silk crossed over
upon a blouse of the most fllny white
silk muslin arranged in fichu fashion,
and with sleeves of the same.

A Difficult Situation
Derr Miss Doom :

0C tllco DOoHs
l am divorced and four years ago mar
ried a widower with a daughter Is years
old. | have been very kind to her. but
! eannot do anything with her. as | am
only 20 years old myself. Her father
does not care what she does. She likes
fast company and sits in cafes until mid
night. People where / live think 1t awful
and am heartbroken. have a little
girl 0 years old. and my st~epdaughter
tells my little one everything that goes
on. I rm a good woman and a saving
one. Please tell me what to do.
MOTHER.
If the father will not guard his
daughter better / don't know what
you a do. Try to have a talk
With the girl. Tell her you know
young girls must have a good time.
as you're still young yourself and
know how it feels, but ask her If she
couldn't have just as good a time by
knowing nice people and inviting
them to visit, her at home. Offer to
hep her furnish refreshments and
ask what entertainment she would
suggest. If she feels that you have a
sympathetic understanding she may
wish to do differently.
AS for your own little girL-keep
her by you as Glossy as possible and
fill her mind with clean, good
thoughts. so hat there won't De room
for any other kind.

Shell Nineteen Marry Twenty
five

Der Miss Doom.
| am 10 years old and In love with n
girl of %. am as tall as my father
and look fully as old as my girl. She
says she will marry me. but my parents
are against 1t. She is a good girl. but
they say ] am too young to marry. Now
must | wait until 1. am 81 before |
marry? BOB.
You certainly must wait until you
are q if you wish to marry without
your parents consent. Also, l think
your parents are very wise, Bob. You
should respect that wisdom.
The girl may be all right in every
way, though l question her judgment
in being willing to marry a lad Of
your age. A girl of % ought to ave
more sense than that, and should
wish for a man nearer her own age.
However, the sensible thing for you
to do is to wait until you are q.
Then, II you and the girl still think
you love each other enough to marry,
end you are able to support a wife,
the marriage may be all right.
However, | doubt very much If you
will be of the same mind two years
hence. while the girl in that time will
probably have found a more suitable
mate.

COATS OF TODAY

The smart coat of the moment is
cut away at the waist n worn
rather short, reaching only to the
hips.
1t nay be in the same material as
the skirt, or in taffeta of any color.
The collar is almost invariably turn
down and is in a contrasting shade
with that of the coat itself. The
jabot has come into its W again.
and the one-sided effect is beginning
TO disappear again. it, too. having
become very common.
Some of the new coats have peck
cts. but the relief given by these is
but trifing. since they are firmly fas-
tened down at each side by large
buttons. and the space left in be-
tween is insufficient to accommodate
more than the cry fiimsiest hand
kerchief folded very fiat.
Tailors and dressmakers are more
rigid than ever in their opposition to
the pocket, throwing, as it does, the
line of the figure out of drawing.

. DAINTY GOWN OF EN-.
BROIDERED M%ARQUISETTE
BY MAY MANTON

Summer gowns made of thin ma
terial are particularly charming
treated in this way for the skirt is
full enough to lea some folds and
a graceful effect while the fichu is
n of the prettiest possible. 1t can
be extended to form a postillion at
the back or finished at the belt as
preferred. and the blouse beneath is
made with sleeves that are stitched
to the arm-holes. There are under
sleeves that can be used or omitted
as desired. The skirt is a very sim
pie one. There is a wide back gore
with two narrower side cores which
are joined and Tapped onto a panel.
In this case the panel is trimmed
with lace and frills, but il can be
made with a hem and three wide
tucks above. or it a be made per-
fectly plain and either of the same
or contrasting material. Whatever
else the season lacks, 1t is generous
high and natural waist lines are cor
rect. TIL s skirt can be finished in
either way. For the frock adapted
to bridge parties and the like, mar
quisette Is as pretty as any material
that could be suggested, but this
same model could be utilized for dim
ity, lawn or batiste to be very dainty
and charming. Dim.ty with trimming
of Valenciennes banding and with
the front gore hemmed and tucked
would be charming in a much simpler
way.
For the medium size, the blouse
will require 4 yards of material 27,
2ss. yards Sc or A, with 4 yards OF
banding and u yards of lace for frills
and IL yards IS inches wide for the
chemisette and under-sleeves; the
skirt 5 yards p. 4 yards IS or A
inches wide with 81 yards of band
ing and IA yards of lace.
The May Manton pattern of the
blouse 1851 is cut in sizes from "a to
40 inches bust measure; of the skirt
1883 in sizes from % to 80 inches
waist measure. They will be mailed
to any address by the fashion depart.

Directions Misunderstood

Dear MISS doom.
Can one come to see you at your Office?
II so. when and where, time most conve-
Dient for you? Would like TO ask you
something that would take more than
one side of a letter. Thanking you in
advance. l remain. respectfully.
ANNA.
1t would be unwise for me to make
appointments to see my correspond
ents, as | am out of the office a great
deal. You misunderstood the direc-
tions. You are not limited to a letter
covering only one side of the paper,
but you are requested IL the letter is
longer than one page to write not or.
the back of page one. but on the page
opposite the back, or page three. The
letters are pasted on sheets of paper,
corrected and sent out to the COM
positor. If the continuation of page
one is on the back of that page, it
necessitates the copying of that page.
Write as long a letter as you please,
but follow the directions.

NEW SKIRTS

They are no wider.
But they assume this virtue.
Draperies give a look of amplitude,
skirts in two and three tiers ap-
pear wider.
The tunic addition likewise makes
for apparent breadth.
AS for skirt draperies they are too
for description.
There is no limit. save the fancy of
the designer, to a skirts draperies.
Yet an overdone look is as fatal
to a draped skirt as to any artistic
creation.
