Just Arrived
Mr.. Taso told me they were come
ing, so I'se been on the tip-toe of exc
pectancy for days hoping they would
come in time so | could tell you about
them. They're the loveliest little tea
sets of Nippon ware-why, there are
as many as 20 different dainty de-
signsi You really must drop in The
Nippon Importing Company's pretty
Japanese shop to see them this week.
And along with the tea sets have
come some beautiful new luncheon
sets, consisting of large centerpiece
with six plate and six tumbler doilies,
all attraetively embroidered in blue.
Furs Reach the
Pinnacle of Popularity.
The feministic vogue OF the past
season for fur capes, stoles and
coatees is one of the most interesting
repetitions in the Fashion world for
Autumn and Winter. Did you notice
that wonderful window display of furs
in Thompson-Belden's this week.
Wasn't it sumptuous? The broad
stole effect, large cape and coatee
effects in Kolinsky, Mole and Mink
were as charming designs as I've ever
seen. The fox scarfs which were
given the rug effect were very smart,
and imagine will be immensely pop
ular with young girls to wear with
their tailored clothes. There was a
splendid variety of muffs in this dis
play, OF crushed shapes, medium and
small, to match any fur neckpiece
shown. If you're considering "furs"
this Fall you'll find those at Thomp-
son-Belden's of "dernier mode and
premiere qualite." t...
New Styles in Fall Footwear.
Last Tuesday had such an inter-
esting conversation with Mr.. Rush
Winget, who conducts the Boot Shop
in Benson & Thorne's. "The darker
colored boots, such as Beaver Brown.
Field mouse brown, battleship and
neutral gray, will be sthe prevailing
styles for Autumn and Winter" he
said, while black boots, which have
not been worn extensively for several
seasons, will be very fashionable"
Mr.. Winget showed me some beauti-
full models, and ! must say / certainly
do like the quiet, subdued colors-and
can heartily recommend the boots at
this shop-they have quality as we'll
as heaps OF style. There's hosiery to
match all the new Fall footwear at
Benson & Thorne's.
She Makes Them to Order.
Dropping into the Lingerie Shop,
5ll Bee Bldg, yesterday, / found
Miss Cole busy at work putting the
finishing touches on serge coat dress
of the loveliest shade of burgundy.
1t was so neatly tailored that it
brought forth an ejaculation of adj
miration from me, and | told her /
was going to tell you about it, for I'm
sure you'll want her to make one for
you, too. Miss Cole also loves to
make underthings, which are pretty
as you please, and sure to please.
brims are familiar sight
now in advance Fall hats.
Photograph Frames.
Before returning to college or
boarding school don't forget that the
much priced photographs of your girl
and boy friends will not keep unless
put under glass. Over at Hospe's
Art Store, 1913 Douglas Street, dis
covered wonderful variety of frames
in gold, antique, carved and natural
woods-and, moreover, the prices are
bound to interest you. There's also
fine lot of colored English land
scapes--just the thing for your room
at school, at SOC up.
Some new beaded bag designs take
their subjects from Nature; a parrot
eating of blossoms from tree and a
moonlight forest scene being among
them.
"Just Like Home"
Yes, the dainty luncheons at The
Flatiron Cafe are just as tempting as
those you'd have in your own home

really charming place to go when

made into knitting bags.
