SHORT SAYINGS ON FASHIONS

One of the late-summer novelties Is the chenille hat It Is a hat frame covered with chenille. with a soft strand going round and round from the center of the crown to tho edge of the brim. This hat comes in the new shades.
 This is the time of year to buy rem- nants of ribbon for your Christmas needlework Short lengths of expensive ribbons are marked down appreciably just now and they serve admirably for bags of various sorts. Wide ribb ons which can be sewed together and made into very striking knitting bags can be bought for dollar or slightly more q yard. Narrower ribbons that can be made into charming handbags can be bought for lower prices.
 Perhaps the newest thing in stockings IS the very wide stripe-from one inch to one and one-haif inches These stripes run vertically and are made in many colors combined with white. Another new stocking shows a stripe formed by what we should ordinarily term a .rnn''-th { is to say, the stripe looks simply as if the up and down threaus of the stock ing had been pulled up and left only the threads crosSwise
 Gingham collar and cuff sets, thnt proved so attractive early in the sum- : mer on light frocks, are now worn on frocks of serge. They add smart touc.. to these very serviceable costumes.
 Some of the new muslin collars are made of two thicSnesses of lawn. .: handkerchief linen or organ1ie M white and one colored. The white part is worn on the outside and the coior shows through in faint color.
 New ribbon especially suitable for mak- ing bags shows Japanese and Chinese figures Sometimes they are bits of scenery, including pagodas and willow trees and sometimes they are Japanese characters. The most effective of these ribbons show colored figures on black ground.

 Many of the new coats are bound with braid This finish gives a military touch that Is very attractive. and usually coats so bound show metal buttona either in steel or brass.
 Frocks of figured chiffon arc much worn for afternoon and for informal evening occasions The material of these frocks Is so decorative that they stand the simplest sort of treatment and aside from few gatherings and little shir- ring are practically unadorned.
 Although word comes to us from Paris that women are wearing skirts consid- erably longer now than has been the case for the last season or so there Is little indication of any change in skirt lengths here.
 Perhaps we have enjoyed the simplicity of the plain hat long enough. There Is no doubt about it that most women i'd ve reveled in it. But now we are given to understand that the trimmed hat is to be revived and so probably we shall soon see hats as ornate as those of a decade or so ago, when no less than six separate kinds of material were often to be found on one hat.

 Therefore. If you wish to get the most out of what you eat, you must supply the iron deficiency In your food by using some form of organic Iron. Just as you would use salt when your food has not enough salt.
