OF course, l don't mean Bohemia in

Meanwhile Max was overheard with

he had three walters on the verge Of
nervous prostration trying to supply
the suds fast enough. But Max didn't
play Rugby rules-he used two
glasses and both hands. After time,
however, he feathered both oars and
drifted aimlessly with the tide.

The difficult part of making ready
the winter wardrobe now, lies in de.
Gliding upon just what one wants.
If it is a question of the street suit
that is to be decided, a safe answer
lies in two directions at least. The
severely plain tailored suit, with plain
skirt, cut shoe7top length and moder-
ately wide, or a plated skirt, may be
chosen, to be worn with a semiitted
coat having a faring skirt portion,
long, plain, rather close-fitting coat
sleeves and a finish Of bone buttons
and inconspicuous stitching. The
plain, tailored suit does not come
back" each season, for the simple rea-
son that it never goes out. 1t is al
ways with US. With some variation
OF lines or length or fullness it brings
Its own style into line with the pass
ing modes.
Then there are suits on decidedly
new lines. Among them those that
show the influence of the redingote
which has inspired the designers of
30 many and such varied models. A
fine example OF this style is shown in
