FOR THE MOTORIST.

Small foot warmers, velvet covered,
are comforts on cool days for long
rides. They are half circular with fiat
bases and are heated by two carbons'
one at either end in the screw-top
cylinders. The carbons are lighted
with a match and burn slowly to ashes.
The heat lasts from three to three and
one-half hours The larger rests carry
six carDons.
Feather muffs and boas are used in
place of fur for early autumn touring.
Some of the muffs have a broad band
of velvet ribbon tied around them in
the center and are finished with big
bow, the color of the ribbon being re-
peated in the velvet crown OF tns
tocue, which is edged with band OF
the feather trimming to match.
Leather Shells plaid lined, are being
worn for autumn touring without the
tweed coat over them. Men are wear
ing with them the eight-quarter crown
English cap, made of leather to match
the shell. The caps have the roll bands
to turn down over neck and ears, with
a white elastic running under the chin
Mems buckskin shirts are especially
designed for the late campaign Trip
They are made in full army model,
with bellows pocket. The shirts are
good looking and rather expensive. A
close second to the buckskin shirts are
those made of mercerized rep. Ihese
are in tan and are made In the regular
flannel shirt model
Men will appreciate the new aviation
sweaters They come in four colors
and are Of fine quality angora wool
The collar has three degrees Of con
vertibilty' The first allows it to but
ton to a moderately high collar, the
second to button well up around the
ears, while the third buttons right over
the head, forming a perfect hood.
High fur prices are causing other
materials to be used in the place Of
fur for coat trimmings. A smart coat,
in full skirted model. Is trimmed with
seal plush. Two two-inch bands, set
three inches apart, trim the bottom
and sleeves. which are the new so
ished with a double cape collar. the
square, deep cape being edged with the
seal plush and the smaller collar being
made entirely Of 1t.
A new veil for auto use is the shaded
purple chiffon veil: it has three-inch
satin border, Is two yards and half
long and three quarters of yard
wide. The shading is dark all around
the border, shading to a deep violet in
the center. The veil Is very pretty
when worn over a violet colored felt
Piping Rock hat.
Purple angora-a alpaca sweaters are
new and very attractive. They are
trimmed with narrow bands Of white
angora, which edge the collars and
cuffs and form fuzzy ball tassels for
the sashes. One rather unusual gar
ment is a heavy black silk sweater,
cut in Cossack coat fashion and trim
med with wide collar and cuffs Of
white ostrich feather trimming,
three-inch band Of which goes around
the bottom. A narrow silk sash is tip
ped with black and white ornaments.
Tea baskets arc again coming into
season. One specially attractive con-
veniently fitted tea box has a drop
front. on which are the spoons, forks,
etc, while on the left side of the box
there is an alcohol lamp with a tea
kettle resting above it. In the center
compartment at the back are two tall,
slender boxes food containers, and in
front of them are the cups, saucers and
plates. To the right are two sandwich,
cake and food boxes of good size The
fittings are of nickel and the china is
OF light white porcelain.
