the stores and stairways when the rain
came up. Among those who had to
run for cover was a young woman
CARRIED in a pretty dull-day outfit. Her
dress was soft silk, that rain could
not injure, of a slate color Her hat
was plain. three-cornered chapeau in
straw color, and for wrap she wore a
silk sweater about the shade of the

A young woman at the circus Mon
day wore a froc< of white embroldered
in blue In the front of the skirt ana
on the Jacket was an elaborate design
in soutache braid that is coming back
into fashion. She came bllthely out
of the circus tent after the show and
the rain. and plunged into the mud
hunting a reliable, sea-golng automo-
bile Before she arrived there was
solid design of mud up and down the
gown An innocent bystander seeing
the disaster recounted the story of the

enthusiasm over the new work, which
career in the two or three of the most
fashionable schools in the country
that she has attended. She is what
the other debutantes call too grand
and cute for anything, just the dearest

them how perfectly interesting and
fascinating her work is (She has
the fascinating job of putting away
records of some sort in a dusty file.)

The latest fashionable bag of tricks
is a bag of beads. Marie Lanvin is
the Partisan couturiere who has
spilled the beads and catered them
recklessly all over the fall frocks. frills
and furbelows.
Think what a beautiful consistency
If only Beer had been the designer to
put the bead on. But Marie beat him

beaded to beat the oand-the beaded
US for many seasons.
In the windows of two of the smart
est hat shops on Fifth avenue every
single one of the new fall models
had a garnishment of beads as its
sole adornment. The big broad flat
black velvet shapes have a flat bead
trimming either set on or else beaded
right on the hat surface itself In
the latter class is a sprawling sort of
an octopus design done in a single
row of steel beads. Another has tiny
humming bird of feathers perched on
a nest shaped medallion OF varisated
bead eggs Just dS u suggestion anent
this eggy idea it seems to me a cum

of bead roe could be a heap more
realistic and effectively reproduced in
beadwork. Be that as it may single

brims. On the jaunty little turban of
autumn shapes, bristling batons of
beads stick out like the quilts upor
