OF Interest TO Women
A TOpCOAT NOVELTY OF THE SEASON.
BY ANNE RITTENHoUsE.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
NEW YORK. November 21.-It is an
undeniable fact that the strictly tai
lored suit is growing rarer. There are
several explanations offered by those
who feel it their pleasure or their duty
to explain the. reason for being of our
clothes fads. as we'll as Of everything
else. One is that women are growing
little tired of the coat and skirt
style of dressing; another Is that the
idea that an attached waist and skirt
gives the figure better lines is taking
hold of the feminine consciousness A
third suggestion is that it Is so con-
venient to have topcoat for every &C.
casion to slip on over anything that
one may be wearing at the time one
wishes to go out. The advocates of
this notion point also to the undeniable
fact that it makes for economy not to
sit out ones street attire at home.
But there are still better reasons
given for the increase in the popularity
dressing in the daytime. 1t is true
that this fashion started a 8 long ago as
the fall of 1915 in Paris. or even the
spring before that. and the explana-
tended to the hanging of a mannishly
cut coat were all on duty in the
trenches in France by that time. and
that the women who wanted suits had
to depend woman dressmakers for
them. 1t is said that topcoat with
its ampleness. is easier for woman
tailor to manage than the scantier
| jacket. which must be just so. French
women We're not satisfied with the
plain suits which the woman cutters
and filters turned out for them, yet
the more elaborate kind of suit, which
We call dressmakery suit over here,
seemed inappropriate to the simple
sort of existence. and above all the
easily donned.. almost nunlike. robe
chemise. as they call the straight
frock girdled with a cord, appealed to
their sense of the fitness of things. 1t
is a well recognized fact that women,
especially Parisians. feel that any con-
dition of life is more bearable if they
are suitably dressed for it.
So the once universal tailor suit is
re1egated to second place at last, and
the shops are full of big coats, of
which the one in the sketch is an ex-
ample of very unusual features. The
designer who made this model must
contingent's fine showing in the pres
ent conflict. have then gone to sleep
and dreamed of kangaroos. II ever a
garment were inspired by an animal, !
this coat is it. The big pouch in the
front is nothing more nor less than a |
re reproduction Of the self-contained nur-
sery which every kangaroo mother |
carries in her own person. It's an |
economical notion. for it does away |
with all necessity for either muff or !

garment is that it slips on |

Bobby Coon Tells Danny of
Great Riches.
Why is it when we have enough
We're always eager to get more?
Why is it when we're really rich
We're very apt to think we're poor :?

We're very apt to think we're poor?
1t seems to be that way. The very
first people to talk about hard times
are the ones who don't know what real
hard times are and never will know.
The first to think themselves poor are
the ones who never have known and
are likely never to know what it is
really and truly to need something and
not be able to get it. l suppose it is
because the more we have the more We
want. and we get SO that we mistake
wanting for needing.
Now Danny Meadow Mouse didn't real
ly need a blessed thing when he stbart-
ed out to see the Great World. He had
nice, cozy little home, and within
easy reach by his own private little
paths was plenty to eat. more than he
and Nanny Meadow Mouse possibly
could eat If the coming winter were to
be twice as long as it could be. He had
secret hiding places, lots of them, to
dart into whenever danger appeared.
In fact, Danny was very well off, in
deed. in all that a meadow mouse needs
to be happy. And then he had decided
to go adventurng, to go out in the
Great World. to see if there were bet
ter things than he already had. and
if so. to get them for himself and
Nanny. 1t was foolish thing to do,
but he did it.
Now, of course. he didn't tell Bobby
COON that this was the reason he had
left home; the real reason you know.
he simply told Bobby that he had want
ed TO see more of the Great World.
which was very true. But Bobby Coon
is wise in the ways of the Great World.
he guessed that underneath it all was
the hope of finding something better
than he already had. SO, Bobby Coon
advised Danny Meadow Mouse to go
straight home and be content to stay

A dainty little party frock for a
small girl is shown in the sketch. 1t is
made of shell-pink taffeta. and each
of the many ruffles is edged with mar
row silver ribbon. A rosette of wide
silver ribbon with ribbon streamers
half inch wide is fastened at one side
of the short little bodice, and really
gives the only trimming touch to the
dress. The model, as will be observed
features a high waist line. This, ac-
cording to reports from children's dress
designers. will be the keynote of next
spring and summer apparel for chill
dren. Many real empire frocks will be
seen, and those that show low waist
line will not feature it in extreme
form. Even the long waist models will
be belted fully an inch higher than

When to Dine Thursday.

For some reason most folk choose to
perform a series of gastronomic gym
nastics on Thanksgiving day and not
only dine three or four times IS heart
lily as need be, but they dine at an hour
curiously different from the accustom-
ed time for their heaviest meal.
Thanksgiving dinner at or o'clock
in the afternoon is as absurd for the
farmer or countryman who usually
dimes at IL or 1890 o'clock as it is for
the city man whose dinner hour is
$50 or or s o'clock. Yet. such is our
respect for the traditions of the old
time Thanksgiving, that We cling to
this midafternoon hour with apparent
enthusiasm.
The midafternoon dinner hour might
have had an advantage once upon
time. In the days when the ancestors
of most of US lived the rural life and
many of them dwelt at some distance
from church. the task of attending
service and listening to the parsons
hour-long sermon and then returning
home to prepare a bountiful Thanks
giving board At the usual dinner time
would have been quite out of the ques-
ton. Even though the feast was al
most ready the day before. and even
old-fashioned oven. free from danger
of burning. this would have been an
impossibilty.
But now things have changed and
there is precious little reason why
most of US should upset our digestions
and our tempers by dining in mid
afternoon.
It's a curious thing-that little mat
ter of the dinner hour, anyway. 1t
really doesn't seem to matter very
much when we take our heavy meal
so long as we always take it at about
the same time. Though we ourselves
may never have become creatures of
habits the stomachs of every mothers
daughter of US have and it is anything
but fair to disregard this fact.
At present the dinner hour seems to
be getting later and later as our civili-
zation becomes more complex. The
number of old-fashioned folk who dine
at midday is becoming less and less.
To be sure there are large numbers of
persons, such as certain class of resi-
Dental Washingtonians. who have
chung with really rare pertinacity to a
5 o'clock or $50 O'Clock dinner But
between $50 and O'Clock seems to be
most suitable.
1t was in the reign of King George
III. we are told, that the 3 o'clock din
ner was in favor. In the reign of the
next monarch. George ". the hour
was pushed to 4. Then the court
dinner was s and finally in the reign
of Queen Victoria O'Clock became the
accepted court dinner time. And so it
remains and We whether strictly neu-
trail or not. follow suit. 1t is from
England that we have taken our Iat~
dinner hour.
