Enter the Fall Fashions

MO, we haven't had chance
~ to wear our new organdie
yet, but clever designers
have already planned our winter
wardrobes. What woman would
fail to look charming in this
wonder suit" of green velours
de laine, quantity collared in
youthifying gray squirrel? The
stitching of green brings a curve
or two to the garment, whose
smartness lies partly in its sweep
of straight line. The Eton jacket
effect, which the coat produces,
is echoed in the little bell-top
upper sleeves. The squirrel reap
pears at the bottom of the coat
and from under it hangs a tight
hemmed plain skirt. One of the
features worth noting is the flow
cred satin lining, beyond which
there is superlining of green
chiffon. The little feather hat of
soft beige produces the effect of
a nesting bird.

Advice to Lovelor1l
By Beatrice Fa9rfaI


Dear Miss Fairfax: ! have been going
about with young man for over a year. and
! think a great deal of him, Another ap-
parently respectable man, divorced and
engaged TO marry another girl, takes
me out frequently in his auto. un-
known 10 his betrothad. He has not told
me and does not know that l am aware of
his former marriage, but he insists that 1t
is perfectly proper for me to 90 out with
him because l am not engaged as yet, even
though l expect to be soon. Do you think
1t proper for me- to go out with him and
do you think his attentions honorabl
ANXIOUS.
The mans previous marriage has nothing
to do with the case. Eliminate 1t, and 1t
remains dlshonorabe for you TO 90 on secret
rides with the hance of another girl. Even
were you not ready TO announce your en-
gagement, It would be wrong Of you-as
well as of the man--to go on for these
cadestine auto rides. But | cannot under
stand how a girl who claims to be In love
with another man can so conduct herself,
