of moderate width. with slight flare
toward the deep hem. The seams
overlap and are beautifully machine
stitched. 1t is an easy fit about the
hips and of course must be worn with
out a belt, as it is shaped to the waist
line.
The short coat could hardly be
palmer. The back is seamless, but
the front is cut in four sections and
shaped to a vague following OF the
figure. The belt. extending only part
way around, is a style feature of the
season, and an unusually clever touch
is given the design by the placing of
the coat pockets at the ends of the
belt. The band across the top of the
pocket seems merely an extension OF
it made a little narrower.
One'of the new coat sets, a collar
and cuffs made of figured ribbon, are
shown in the picture, with a bow tie
Of plain satin ribbon. They are en-.
tirely separate from the suit and are
added occasionally by way of a change
or a bit of furnishing for a special &C.
casion. The skirt is a little longer
than it should be, or the model on
which it is pictured is a little shorter,
as shown in the picture.

something very new and captivat.
ing in flowers for the corsage has been
launched for the holidays. The cor
sage flower or bouquet is as often
worn on the muff as on the corsage,
by the way. This ley idea is called
by several names-the vanity flow
er, the beauty" flower, or the van
ity" corsage. So far roses. dahlias,
peoples and orchids have appeared
that do not differ from those we are
accustomed to see worn on the cor
sage. But, in the heart Of each flower,
concealed by petals or stamens or the
shape OF the flower, is hidden a little
powder box containing powder In a
small cake. A tiny powder pun is lifted
out by means OF a small ring. and
milady robs the heart Of a flower for
the sake of vanity or beauty.
These flowers are set in millinery
foliage, and in some Of the bouquets
the stems are tied with green satin
ribbon matching the foliage in shade.
One end of the ribbon is turned up in
a small fiat bag which contains a little
mirror.

GIRLS ALWAYS GETTING HURT
Small Boy Gives Reasons for Object.
ing to Sister as Piaymate-ob-
~servation Of Child Life.

In the Woman's Home Companion
Mary Heaton Worse writes a story en-
titled. THE Independence of Sarah
II is full Of wise observation Of child
life. In the following extract, Alice,
the mother Of a family, learns why
her small son Robert does not want
his sister Sarah as a playmate.
Her sense Of justice made Alice
feel that Robert should let Sarah into
his out-of-door games. She had a the.
DRY that little boys and girls play the
same games If they r brought up
naturally together. For the most part
Sarah shared this opinion OF her moth
er; she shared 1t strongly; she
shared 1t y~ociferously. Robert diff
fered.
HE put it this way: Fellows don't
want a girl forever tagging around
and always yelling
81 should think responded his
mother. that you want your little SIS
ter to play with you
Thus driven into a corner he said:
IL want her to play with me, all
right; but if she's going to play, why
don't she play? She always gets hurt
with the least thing and comes home
bawling.'
ITO this Alice responded: It's her
feelings that get hurt"
II don't care what part OF her gets
hurt said the downright Robert. ii
it gets hurt-and she yells, and the
boys say to me: oh. gee, Here
comes your sister again. Rum
- can run just as fast as lots OF
you said Sarah. 1 can run faster
than Skinny Allen. l a run faster
| than Mud Morse

brother sloomily; that's what makes
it so fierce. We'd get away lots often
er if you couldn't"
