FEWER FUR.TRIMMED SUITS
Which the Elaborate Fur Sets
May Be Worn.

Every fashion has its foundation.
Have you observed that there are few
er fur-trimmcd suits this season than
in recent years? This is due tn the
popularity of fur sets. Women who
own one or more sets demand UNI
trimmed suits So that they can con-
veniently wear their fur pieces and
also that a change can be made in
the sets.
Whether the straight silhouette Is
responsible for the vogue of velvets
and Sutins. or whether the materials
created the straight lines. is ques.
ton as tantalizing us the hcn.and-egg
problem. Nevertheless, 1t is true that
the one is dependent upon the other.
1t would be almost impossible to use
soft Sutins and Slinky velvets for the
bouirant lines Of last year. hence the
Observation-Disclosures cry.
The craze for long coats has low
cred the demand for coat.suits. As n
result It is predicted that spring styles
will be shown earlier than ever this
year, IL being impossible to wear the
separate coat us long as one could use
the Cout-sut.

Moles and muskrats may become ex-

the difference between them. when
muskrat is dyed in the best possible

FUR at close range.
Moleskin does not masquerade I'M

these amateurs achieve surprisingly
good results, though most of them
despair.
1t would take talents more than or

the bags shown in the shops. Beading

using the beads are many and the
color schemes and shapes are infinite

BEST WAY TO HANG SKIRT
Valuable Pointer for the Woman Who,
From Choice or Necessity, Makes
Her Own Clothes.

The woman who makes her own
means which will facilitate the work.
A splendid way to hang skirt hem
Is to use nm ordinary foot rule folded
together so that IL measures six inches.
Place one end of the rule on the floor;
then put n pin or chalk mark on the
skirt where the other end would come,
and continue mt intervals all around
the skirt. When done your dpess
measures exactly six inches from the
floor and hangs perfectly true. Place
the skirt on the table and measure
down two or more inches, according
TO the number of inches you wish your
skirt to hang from the floor.
1t Is splendid idea to hang a skirt
by the belt for "a hours before you
attempt to turn up the hem. This
prevents sagging.
The woman who has no one to turn
up her skirt hem will find the follow
ing method helpful: First of ALL the
skirt Is put on belt and fastened on
the figure. Taking n yardsticR and a
piece of chalk or pins, a line Is traced
around the hips one yard up from the
floor. When the line is well marked,
remove the skirt, and then after de-
termining the number of inches the
skirt is to he above the floor measure
or the required number from the 30
Inches already lined off. For instance,
II you wish your skirt to be six inches
from the ground, merely pin off or
chalk off 30 inches along the bottom
Of the skirt, measuring from the line
placed about the hips. At the lower
traced line the hem Is turned up.
