FALL STYLES FOR CHILDREN
Percales, Linens, Ratines
and Piques.

Children's wash dresses suitable for
school wear are in ginghams, percales,
linens, ratines, piques, cordalines and
other heavy wash fabrics. Many are
In plain colors trimmed with checked,
plaid or striped material, while others
are of fancy material trimmed with
a plain fabric. Combinations Of MILDLY
or blouse of plain color with skirt of
plaid, or vice versa, are very pretty.
Colored worsted dresses are also in
a great variety of styles in serges, pop
Inns and checked and plaid worsteds.
Some are made In sailor effect, while
others have the MILDLY blouse or the
new college blouse with shocking.
In dressy little frocks combinations
Of worsted and silk, such as serge,
with plaid or check silk, are seen.
Corded and plain velvets are COM
bined with satin charmeuse. or fancy
plaid, checked or striped silk Party
dresses OF net. crepe. chiffon or lace
are often combined with silk.
For older girls three-piece suits are
popular. They consist OF simple little
serge or gaberdine dresses with q
short. snappy coat in norfolk, Russian
or box effect, of the same material
Flat collars are almost universally
worn and sleeves are usually set in
at the regular armhole, finished of
with fare cuff, or made In fare ef-
feet starting from the elbow. Belts
and sashos are usually OF self mate
rial, or of the same fabric as the col
lars and cuffs.
Children's coats are made with a
slight fare in the lower section. Some
times a coat is cut in two sections and
Joined together at the normal or
slightly lower waist line, this joining
covered by belt or sash. A yoke
sometimes appears in the back, some
times IN front. Sometimes as many
as four pockets appear on a coat. and
they are also used on belts. Smock-
ing and hand embroidery trims wee
coats, and braids and buttons trim all
coats. Krimmer, beaver, otter. seal,
mole, chinchilla. squirrel. ermine and
coney, as well az velvet IN plain coIors
and novelty stripes and checks. are
used for collars, cuffs and other trim

WOULDN'T WORK THAT TIME
For Once It Was a Cinch That Sign,

The talk topic turned to signs, to-

afternoon, when Congressman Henry
T. Heigesen of North Dakota contrib
uted the following anecdote:
One day Jones was rambling along
the boulevard, when he was rallied by
his friend Smith. While talking about
war, crops and mosquitoes, Jones no.
ticed that Smith continually rubbed
the palm Of his hand.
What in the world is the matter
with your hand?" he finally demanded

swered Jones. "They say that 1t Is
a sure sign that you are about to get

him. Here is where you get wise to
the fact that there Is nothing in signs.

HARD ON CHILDREN
When Teacher Has Coffee Habit.

BEST is best, and best will ever
live" When a person feels this way
about Postum they are glad to give
testimony for the benefit of others.
A school teacher down in Miss. says:
Il had been a coffee drinker since my
childhood, and the last few years it
had injured me seriously.
"One cup of coffee taken at break
fast would cause me to become so
nervous that l could scarcely go
through with the days duties, and this
nervousness was often accompanied
by deep depression of spirits and heart
palpitation.
Il am a teacher by profession, and
when under the influence of coffee had
to struggle against crossness when In

HINTS ABOUT AUTUMN DRESS
Fruits and Flowers In cutout Motifs
Among oarnltures for Frock
and Hat.

Exotic fruits and flowers in cutout
motifs, with petals and rims defined
by beads, are among the garnitures
for both frocks and hats. In some
instances this trimming is of taffeta
and satin. but II is likely that we
shall see q good deal OF 1t reproduced
In velvet as the winter season APP

Fur Is being used In a number of
unusual ways TO form floral petals
or define lace motifs. Every effort
is being made, apparently. to gain
unique effects and to give TO even
the most commonplace garment o. hat
a touch OF the bizarre that links II
with the newest creations.
All the new shades are represented,
with special attention paid to white
and black. Metallic tissues have not
been neglected, especially in gold and

be made Of any preferred material,
as linen, silk, sateen with an outer
covering Of something sheer, as wolfe,
scrim or dotted Swiss, the decoration
being to suit ones fancy.
To make a case holding a dozen
pairs OF stockings one needs a strip
about nine inches wide and over
yard long. At one end the strip is
turned up to form a pocket, and at
the other it is cut into a pointed flap.
A second strip about five inches wide
and the length of the wider one
minus the pocket Is bound with rib
bon or tape on one long side. The
opposite edge is laid even with the
wider strip and basted there. Next
the double strips are divided into IL
pockets just as one would make a
shoe bag. Then all edges of the case
are bound with the selected bindings.
The larger pocket is to hold the stock
ings that need darning, while the
smaller ones take one pair each rolled
up smoothly ready to put on.
AS II Is difficult to keep stockings
IN pairs when they are all one color,
It Is a good plan to sew one Of the
little dress snappers at the top OF
each stocking. When sending to the
laundry a pair of stockings can be
clasped together and orders given to
wash them so Joined. Then one can
tell Just how we'll or how badly stock
ings wear and can buy the brand that
gives the better satisfaction. When
the case is rolled UP II can be pushed
into corner Of bureau drawer. and

and 571a inches long. Ask mother or
sister to hem the side edges of the
strips, and also to sew the ends to-
gether, tapping them so as to form
bands 5615 inches long. The two
bands must be of exactly the same
length. Fig. shows how the Tapped
ends should be sewed with a double
row Of stitching, also how to slip the
bands over the frames, one at a time,

tacks.

MORE FUR IS SLOGAN
WHAT FASHION MAKERS DICTATE
FOR FALL WEAR.
Cuffs on Every Jacket Are Now Muffs
HENS Of Skirts and Jackets
Smothered In Bands
Of Fur.

II is probable that women will
never be persuaded to give up pieces
Of peltry that cover the shoulders; 1t
is the remaining savage instinct in
them to fling around their bodies the
skins Of Wild beasts; this truth was,
proved during the summer, when
every woman who could afford the
price Of fox, white or otherwise, ar
rayed herself In it, even on days when
mosquito netting would have been
too warm a covering She temporarily
reverted to the cave-woman.
The furriers, however, need not
spend sleepless nights wondering
where their rent is to be obtained,
for paradise is opening to them. Fur
and again fur, and still more fur, Is
the slogan Of the fashion-makers.
AS to Neekpleces.
There may not be a great quantity
Of neckpieces worn, as fashion does
not indicate any loose covering for
the shoulders that will hide their
lines. but so much fur is demanded
elsewhere that II is more probable the
furriers will spend sleepless nights
wondering where to get 1t.
The cuffs, for instance, on every
jacket are now muffs. They extend
to the elbows and fare to a width OF
eight and ten inches at the hands.
This is a Fart of tho Russian infiu-
ence, and there Is every reason to be-
lieve that these immense bellshaped
accessories will be sought by every
woman who likes to take up the ex-
treme thing.
In addition to such lavish use OF
peltry on the sleeves, the hens OF
skirts, as well as Jackets, are smoth-
cred in bands Of fur. Evening wraps
are in the nature of Russian coats,
