MODES OF
THE HOUR

Season of the Top Coat-So Con-
spicuous Is Its Cut That the Skirt
Is of Minor Importance-Fur for
Trimmings.
This is the season Of the top coat. and
1t Is oitSso conspicuous and its details
so interesting that the skirt worn with
1t is matter of minor Importance.
It is seen In velvet and in all the heavy
woolen materials, in black and In color.
and even in the striped and checked
effects.
Certainly the ingenuity of the designers
has been taxed to its uttermost, for an
afternoon stroll down crowded thor
oughfare would hardly reveal two coats
cut out of the same cloth or after the
same pattern.
occaslonc.y there seems to be neither
rhyme nor reason for their existence,
unless warmth alone will justify Il, for
fancy has run amuck and produced od-
dities appropriate for a costume dance.
But on the whole. this is only the occa-
sional garment; the great majority are
really beautiful and extremely graceful
in the rlppling fulness of their lines.
Fur is featured to such an extent that
all the shops are showing wide bands of
fur In the seasons favorites, suitable
for collars and cuffs and grdles and for
the edge of the full skirt.
The coat sketched today is made of
velvet In the shade of green that is one
of the running favorltes. 1t combines
wonderfully with skunk, and this is worth
mentioning because. although fur is used
lavishly, 1t is applied with the incest dis
elimination in regard to the color scheme.
1t is one of the -throated models
that has not been vanqushed by the in
creasng vogue OF the close-fitting coat
and the banded collar.
The fact that 1t is conservative rather
than pronounced in any feature is great
ly in its favor. Fashion just now is like
a moving picture that Ia showing at ac-
celerated time. There are certain styles
created by great fashion artists that will
run their allotted course. but there are
also many whims and fancies, perhaps the
venturings OF the lesser lights, and II
would be hard to prophesy Just what
hold they will take on the public or how
secure It will be.
There is one consideration that brings
much comfort in It's train, where these
big loose-fltting garments are concerned
The fulness of the skirts has reached
point where the change that must come
in time will probably mean a decrease
IN size ana IL Is SO nucn easier 10 take
out than to add to.
The belt is a pleasing feature OF the
coat pictured. 1t controls the fulness
of the coat and designates the waist
line the natu1nl waist in this instance
The skirt worn with the coat is chosen
with a view to color harmony. 1t Is of
one of the lighter shades Of brown and
there is not n shades difference between
the color of the skirt and that of the
cloth uppers of the boots.
1t appears that we must have either
few frocks or many shoes nowadays
The smart effect that these gaiter boots
give, in blues or browns or grays that
just match the skirt, is very desir1ble.
It adds considerably to the expense of
an outfit but It is worth the money to
all those who can afford 1t.

VENICE AND VOLA
The Lure of Sunny Skies and Sleeping Palaces

They met in Venice after many many
years-viola and her one-time friend, the
Bachelor. She had been shopping in the
Gale San Noise close to the Piazza Of
St Mark, and was returning to her hotel
laden with trophies of the chase.
Viola had never looked more beautiful
than on that sunny morning in the old
italian city. For the first time she had
discarded the mourning she had worn
go long and now was dressed in simple
white serge suit. with a large bunch Of
violets fastened in the front. Beneath her
small felt hat, also of white. her pretty
face glowed like a morning rose.
Her beauty-lov!ng nature reveled in the
warmth and coicr of the scene. The
changing lights Of Venice are most magi-
cal. No other city in the world owns
in the waters Of an azure sea the domes
and cupolas of Venice rise.
Viola halted by the Piazzctta and gave
tiny sigh OF happiness.
"Oh, IL is grand t. he alive said she
aloud. This is a morning that some poet
wrote about, | think-'when to be young
Is very heavenH l know now what he
meant"
Her thoughts flew back to other days.
and a quick shadow crossed her little
face. The long. sad years OF her unhappy
marriage rose before her and the sun
light seemed to shine less kindly than
before. She gave little shudder. as II
an icy hand had touched her heart.

hour. So many things had happened to

marriage with the italian nohleman. He

and was the head of a flourishing legal
firm In Philadelphia.

The wisest man that ever lived asserted
that the laughter Of a fool Is as the
cracking OF thorns under a pot! He
might have we'll included the chatter of a
foolish woman in the sweeping simile.
The tongue is an unruly member, and
this would appear to be the case all too
frequently with women. On every hand
we meet the talkative woman. She loves
to hear the sound of her own voice, and
Ia quite unhappy unless she holds the
conversational field.
Unfortunately the resultant boredom
that follows her around Is not the only
evil she originates. She is too often
sometimes quite unwittingly-a mischief
makerl At best, she gives away the
secrets of herself and others wholesale.
She does not stop to weigh her words,
but her unrulv tongue shares all the at
tributes of the brook, and, despite the
fact that people come and people try in
vain to go. runs on in one continuous flow
of idle chatteringl
I often wonder II the loquacious woman
realizes the extent of the gratuitous in
formation she gives the uninterested out
slider, more particularly on matters that
are of private and personal character.

WOMAN OUTSIDE THE HOME
AROUND THE CLUBS

The Plastic Club held the first of it's
current events meetings Wednesday aft
ernoon. 1t has a very sensible arrange
ment, giving alternate Wednesday after
moons TO pleasure and TO business. This
is followed by tea.
The topic OF interest was the recital OF
the experiences of members who were
abroad this summer. The assembly hall
was comfortably filled. and all listened
with interest while Miss Emily sartain
and Mrs. Carroll Williams told their eI-
citing adventures.
Cordality is the watchword in this little
club. It also shows a great many i'm
provements.
The Philomusian Club is closely con-
nected with the women's club movement.
Few clubs are more philanthropic in their
aims than this one. The Consumers
League. that valuable organization for
the protection OF the shopgirl, is anil
lated with the Philomuslan. Others are
the Travellers Aid Society. the Asso-
c.ated Committee OF Police MatronS, the
American and Pennsylvania Peace Socie-
ties, etc. There are departments for
music and literature, esthetics, dancing,
social functions, etc.
The new clubhouse is charmingly fur
nIshed. Old rose hangings. terra-cotta
window-boxes. hardwood floors. very
attractive little kitchen and a charming
little retiring room upstairs are some of
its beauties. 1t Is very popular for mid

The Home of the Future

The salvation of home life at present
lies in the educated woman, the woman
with the trained intelligence and with a
sympathetic nature. It is the woman
who has got a sufficiently intelligent out
look on life TO be familiar with its prob-
lens, and who is ready to face them
when they appear, who will influence tho
home. She is the woman who will make
home what 1t should be-a ground Of
mutual support, mutual affection, mutual
understanding, instead of a desert oc-
cupied by discontented souls; a temple
of high endeavor in the art Of living in
stead of barrack whose centre of at
traction Is a well-laid and well-provided
table. Undoubtedly the home life of tho
future, to be preserved amid the clash
and frequent changes of modern exist.

women of intelligence.

Milady's Toilet Table

However regular your features may be,
unless you take care of your complexion
they will not show.
The skin consists OF two layers, the
true skin. lying underneath, and the Gu
ticle, which covers and protects it. Any
check in the natural processes Of the
skin produces spots and blotches very
disagreeable to have, and more so to
look at.
The use OF enamel and skin varnish Is
most destructive, as they block up the
pores completely.
Another cause Of injury to the sensi-
tive skin is so-called hard water, Lime
and magnesla combine with the fatty
acid in the soap, causing a greasy sub
stance to fill the pores. They crack and
widen after a short time.
The remedy for this Is the use OF pure
almond meal, instead Of soap, and rain
water.
Never use the so-called "medicated"
soaps, compounded with tar, sulphur or
carbolic acid.
An excellent cleansing lotion consists of

DO YOU BELONG TO
4 WOMAN'S CLUB:
By MRS. CHRISTINE FREDERICK
Author The New Housekeeping.

There was a day when many scofted
at the then newly developed orsaniza-
tlons Of wonen's clubs. That day has
long since passed. and the woman's club
has unquestionably made good" But
IN spite of this, know dozens Of wom-
en- all over the country who do not join
a womans club, because they do not
feel that it would bring them any help
in their problems Of homemaking.
Waving aside the benefit 1T is to any
woman to affiliate herself with group
of women because of the stimulus, con-
tact and new viewpoint. the homemaker
is the very woman most benefited by the
efforts Of women's clubs. While some or
ganizatlons devote themselves TO the
problems Of the business or working girls,
the bulk OF the problems discussed by
women's clubs everywhere are problems
OF the homemaker.
There is, for instance, the great ques-
tion Of pure foods-pure mlk-unadul-
terated candies. Various womens clubs
throughout the country take up first one
phase OF the question and then another,
Perhaps It was wrapped bread or a cru
sade against short weights or a cam
paign against loose milk. In one way or
another, women's clubs have stood by
the pure food movement, and the result
is that the housewife has benefited
through more stringent laws. more ade-
quate inspection and an awakened pub
lie conscience.
Another point Of attack for women's
clubs has been increased happiness for
for better labor laws and the prevention
OF child labor in factories, Others have
struggled for Fairgrounds for city chill
dren or "sea-breeze vacations" for the

The Removal of Wrinkles

Wrinkles and crows feet are the bug
bears of the elderly woman They are
caused by the shrveling up of the sub
cutaneous fat of the cheeks and brow.
A well-known doctor believes that II
the following treatment be used. wrin-
kles will be averted a long time:
Having slightly oiled the fingers, rub
the face gently in the direction contrary
to the one the wrinkles are threatening
to take. Do this for five minutes daily,
oilins the fingers as often as necessary.
A product called wool-fat Is the actual
gloss or fatty matter from the hair and
skin, isolated by special process. This
is very valuable, as the skin greedily alb
serbs this. and 1t is very efficacious in
preventing wrinkles.
Free exposure to extreme heat and cold
is to be carefully avoided. or wrinkles
will result.
The lines extending across the fore
head, and from nose to mouth, may be
made less prominent by massage, but
they depend upon the individual. Do not
frown or grimace; in short, look pleasant,
and people won't notice the lines.
