Concentration in Clothes.
By Ruth Cameron.

A young friend of mine has recently de-
as she now has.
No, she has never been a Flora Nc
Flimsey. Nor is she doing this because
she wants to give up the vanities of the
world. She has simply come to the con-
clusion that she will get more out of her
clothes if she concentrates.
This is the way she puts it: II have al
ways had lot of clothes, none Of them
very expensive and not more than half of
them especially becoming. Now I don't
really need so many and I know ia en-
Joy them more if l had fewer and put
more thought and money into each dress
Last year / had seven or eight dresses
for the summer. and there We're only
three / really liked, and I wore them
practically all the time. Next year I'm
not going to have more than three or
four, but they are all going to be just
right. OF course, I'll have to wear them
over and over again, but L know Ill be
better Off"
Don't you think this young person has
come to a wise decision?
do.
Just about three out of every four
women nave tOO Iilttuy CiOtHeS. Anu ny
too many clothes I mean just the condi-
ton this girl describes-they have more
clothes than they can have and have
them right.
One of the best dressed women I know
among women of moderate incomes has
attained this desirable distinction by con-
centrating in this way. She isn't one of
the women whose ambition is to appear in
different gown at every function. On
the contrary, she has very few clothes,
but what she has are always perfect.
II might have twice as many gowns"
she said to me once. ''if I would be con-
tent with what most women in my cir
cumstances are satisfied with. But the
way I've thought it out is this-I believe
that any one would rather see me again
and again in a thoroughly becoming and
attractive gown than to see me in two or
three different dresses that weren't any
of them particularly attractive or
course, I'd rather have a lot of lovely
gowns, but since, with my income, that
isn't possible, I'd rather have a few dis
tinctive things than a lot Of nondescript
ones
Now every woman Of average income
has this choice between quantity and
quality to make.
We all want both. but If we can't have
them, we must make up our minds which
is better.
Which have you chosen?

Attractive Tailored Suit
for ''In-BetWeen" Season

In this between-season the tailored Suit
returns to it's own, for there are many
occasions during September and October
when even the tailored dress Of worsted
is not sufficient protection. although other
Use the suits must share the popularity
of one-piece dresses.
A model seen recently is an all-round
satisfactory two-piece suit. It's material Is
chamois- s-colored cheviOt with dark VeIvet
collar and strappings OF SILK prald. Inc
skirt is cut long enough at the lett slde 10
be drawn up bit IN snirr nne, W4tnou'
disturbing the evenness OF the front i1em'
and is held in place by one OF the straps,
thus producing a fetching drapery that is
hardly more than a suggestion. Otherwise
the skirt is plain.
this type Of costume, is dependent upon
it's directoire collar and its frill sewed to
one side for its dash. Ihe 1ronts are
Simply faced and held together by the
two velvet-covered buttons that at the
same time decorate the points of the
tab that is applied even with the edge.
The sleeves are oddly finished above the
wrists with a putting of bat1ste like that
of the frill, overlapped by a narrow strap
with ornamental buttons.
There is more fullness In all or the
tailored skirts, but, as in this model de-
scribed, it is generally made not too ap-
parent, being held in by one method or
another. These treatments are never al
lowed to interfere with the straight er-
feet, which is as insistently demanded as
it has been all summer.
Plaits, as was foretold, are being lib
orally introduced, but they. too, are con-
fined in such a way that there is no
deviation from the desired line. On the
contrary, of the plaits it may be said
that they accentuate rather than detract
from the up-and-down appearance, but,
at that. the tailors are introducing plaits
sparingly and with the greatest @ aiscrim, I'M
enamored of the trig plainness that has
been SO long the rule to be easily turned
away from it.
Another suit model that Is bound to be
widely adopted consists Of a skirt perfect
Nv plain except for two very wide box
nlaits at the back, which are reproduced
and made to continue the same lines In
the half-length coat. while another model
of Importance has two single 1nturned
plaits similarly carried out at the sides
directly at the under arm seams, con-
tinued also in the skirt.

AMERICAN FASHIONS.
BY CORA MOORE; DESIGN BY LILLIAN YOUNG.

No more interesting suggestion anent
early fall modes has been brought to
light than that which has to do with
topping skirt of one color or material
with a coat or blouse OF another The
idea has given rise to number of novel
treatments, as evidenced by the cos
tunes at all the fashionable autumn re-
sorts.
The model sketched consists of
straight skirt of the new length, barely
escaping the ground. built of black and
white striped worsted, and a jacket
blouse of black satin with wide revers
Of white satin. decorated with square.
satin-covered buttons. The shield is at
tached to one side of the blouse, hook
ing over invisibly to the other. while the
frill of white silk around the neck and
down the center with its series of tiny
buttons, is continued down the skirt for
a few inches, although skirt and shield
are separate
The idea Of coat or blouse of one color
and skirt of another is not a new one.
but not since the days of basques and
sacques has it been developed with SO
much success or received with so much
enthusiasm. The skirts are generally
straight and plain unless 1t is for some
comparatively insignificant note of relief
blouses and coats are of many types and
show an infinity of variation.
One of the boleros has been SO par
ticularly popular this summer that 1t can
surely be counted upon to be seen this
fall, although ordinarily the boero is
cut to be avoided. because it is rarely
becoming or graceful. This one has the
back extended below the waist, and is
worn with patent leather belt that
slips over the back and under the front
and Sides Then there is the blazer. that
for fall will have either a cross-over vest
or one buttoned up the front, and an
other model loose-fitting coat blouse that
has line of shirring across the back
strapped in with a tab of its own ma
terial.
But the most novel Of all is the tight
fitting waist boned above and below the
belt line and buttoned straight up the
front to V-shaped neck that is gen
orally finished with a satin collar of the
waist material Again. the Russian
blouses are extremely smart. There is
rather fad for having the blouse or
some bright gay color and the skirt of
stripe embodying the same color with
another or with black.
The coat that has a military aspect,

Gem Novelties.

Among pretty jewelry novelties the gold
chain vanity bag is conspicuous, for 1t is
an exact copy of a lace handkerchief,
folded in the center, with connecting
chain running through its four corners to
make the bag.
The corners turn over and show the
delicacy of the lace work in gold. a de-
sign that is as novel as it is beautiful.
Gold chain bags ending In fringes OF
gold or pearls are also lovely, and there
is a useful gold vanity box. in a long
and narrow case, that is not only sup
piled with the usual mirror and pun:
but also contains a case Of pearl-headed
pins.
Quaint and striking are some of the
new designs in which the chatelaine
watches are produced. One assumes the
form of a jeweled grasshopper. the wings
Of which open in the center to show the
watch beneath its outer case.
Some Of the watch cases represent
jeweled blossoms. the rose and daisy Tor
choice in which the flowers are OF COL
ored enamel outlined with diamonds or
other appropriate Jewels.
A pretty use for colored stones Is to
outline the borders of the berthe that Is
again in vogue. and a gown OF pink chif-
fon fashioned with q berthe Of pink satin
outlined with pink coraIs Is a charming
sight.
Evening star., 1912-09-30

The accompanying drawing shows a
smartly simple frock Of velveteen. This
is of black with pin stripe of white.
The bodice is made with pleat on the
shoulder and broad box pleat down the
center front. The sleeves are made on
the style Of those for little boys Russian
suits-that is, with number of pleats at
the cuff running into q narrow band.
This band and the collar are Of plain
black velvet. The narrow skirt is finish
cd on the bottom with a broad hand of
the plain velvet, trimmed with buttons.
The center pleat Of the blouse 10 also
trimmed with these buttons.

No Baggage Car for Mrs. Eanes'
Body, as Bridges Required Light
Trains.

Danville, Va, March 1S-The body
of Mrs. Norah Ann Eanes, who died
at Burlington, n. c., was brought to
this city yesterday for burial and the
casket had to be made fast to the
pilot of the locomotive on the impro-
vised train to which it was transfer
red at Haw river, N. c., 50 miles
south of this place.
The trip of the corpse was accom-
plished without mishap. Owing TO
the weakness Of the trestle at Hawk
River, traffic northward from that
point has been prevented since last
Friday morning and the officials are
unable to state when trains will be
run through.
The train to which the body OF
Mrs. Eanes was transferred consist
ed of only two coaches without bag

pilot. The floods have subsidized here
the river being near the normal level.
Baggage and mail are piled high on

AVIATION NONSENSE.

Why should any aviator at this
stage talk flying across the Atlantic
in 30 or any number of hours? If he
feels impeled to try a 3.000-mile flight
In a dirigible or an aeroplane. why
does he not turn westward, where
there is plenty of solid earth to land
on? There may be men somewhat
foolhardy enough to attempt the flight
from Newfoundland to Ireland. 1t is
a sure and easy way Of achieving pass
ing notoriety and incidentally OF com.
hitting suicide by drowning, says the
New York World. There will be time
enough TO talk Of crossing the ocean
in an aeroplane when this continent
has been traversed by air without
aIishting Back Of this nonsense
about flying across the Atlantic is the
misfortune that the business Of avia-
ton has fallen so largely into the
hands Of showmen. They are Interest
ed chiefly in doing Stunts" for the
sake OF the advertising and future
gate receipts. 1t is becoming ques-
ton whether practical advances will
be made in the science of aviation in
this country except the government
take t uD seriously for military pur,
poses, as has been done in Franco.
