cuts its way through. Where IL does
not cut through, II raises Jumps ON

.Aigh-Waisted Effects Seen in
New Fall Coats.
One Smart Model Would Develop At
tractiveIy in Bright Red Velour
With Black Collar and Cuffs. y

The little coat here shown, designed
for girl of six to ten years, is de-
cidedly small, but it is simple enough
for the average home dressmaker. A
soft fabric Of medium weight should
he selected. Yoke and sleeves only re-
Quire lining, as the overlapping plaitS
of the lower part give it weight and
warmth. The deep yoke with upper
part of sleeves cut in one with it is
feature of the garment. The lower part
Of the sleeve is attached with several
rows of stitching in heavy silk twist
marking the seam, and the same slight
trimming touch should be applied to
the lower part Of the yoke. The simple
little rolled collar may be of velvet or
of self-fabric. If velvet in contrasting
color is used the narrow cuffs should
also be OF velvet.
This little coat would develop at
tractive1y in bright red velour with
collar and cuffs of black velvet. Navy
ranks first, as usual, in the juvenile
color card, but many vivid reds and
green's are also used, and various tan
and brown shades are also favored in
coats.
1t is interesting to note that all man.
ner of liberties have been taken with
the juvenile waistline also. High
waisted effects for girls of four to
eight years are featured considerably,
but the normal and low placing of the
waistline are shown as often. In many
coats for the winter of 1918 this elu-
sive line is ignored, the garments being
cut straight from neck to hem.

sketch for a girl Of six to eight years,
two and a quarter yards Of material

FoULARD MORE WIDELY USED
Dressmakers contrive Way TO Use
Material in Frocks Intended for
Wear in the Afternoon.

Nine. Jenny gets the credit for in
PRODUCING the combination Of white or
candle and blue and white foulard.
This model did not meet with as much
success in the spring as it did later.
Those who did not accept it in it's
entirety built up an adapted gown
which was quite successful. There
was a knife-pleated skirt Of blue foul
ard, with loose Russian blouse Of white
organdie, belted, collared and cuffed
with the foulard. This is still consid-
cred one Of the attractive frocks of the
season.
The majority Of women, however,
prefer yelling a foulard frock with
dark blue voile. This deadens the de-
sign and renders the staring white dot
vague and mist-like. The combination
of wolfe and foulard is kept for inform
al hours, but the dressmakers now see
way in which foulard can be made
to serve for the afternoon. This is
done by draping it in combination with
cream chiffon, using weave OF SIX
that is dyed in unusual colors.
In one such frock the foulard is IN
broad stripes Of cream and old rose.
The skirt is made of separate piece
of the material, with a coin dot bor-
der, and the selvedge is allowed to
drop at each side in order to show
panel of the cream chiffon skirt. There

DAINTY PATTERNS NO MORE
Loud coIors and Most Daring of De-
signs Now Predominant in All
Sport Costumes.

In general, delicate shades and
dainty patterns have vanished from
sport costumes. It's a splash of brill
liant color today and the most daring
of designs. Gone. are the sprays Of
rcsebuds and sprigs of forget-me-nots.
Instead we have big dots, wide stripes,
bold checks and curious Chinese, jap
anese and Egyptian symbols. The
sheerest of crepes flaunt design that
used to be thought suitable only for
sport fabric.
Shantung, so fashionable, is striped
in the loudest of colors or shows big
embroidered dot. The crinkled khaki
kool, not satisfied with it's last sea-
sons beauty, now shows a jacquard
design or the widest of fancy stripes.
There are cottons with a crepe
weave and cottons and tussahs SOM
bined, splashed with dots, in colOrs
that fairly dazzle the unprotected eye.
Circles, both on cottons and silks, are
favorite designs. A white khaki kool
shows circles of Chinese blue or
steel and another shows citron-cnlnred
dots.

No WaistIine in Sight.

So far as any change that one might
predict in the matter of new corsets
planned for the coming season, the
novelty all depends on fabric, trim
ming and workmanship. Perhaps pine
will be used rather more than ever be-
fore. But as far as silhouette goes
things will go on much the same as
ever. Designers and dressmakers who
hoped to have a more shapely-or one
might say more substantial founda-
ton upon which to fit the gowns OF the,
coming season are doomed to disap-
pointment, for the woman Of fashion
will still go on with her figure very lit
tie confined. The woman who likes to
be comfortable, and who knows that
in comfort is grace, will. be glad to
know that among the new corset mod
els there will be rather more rubber
Inserts to give elasticity where it is
needed most, according to the type or
figure for which the particular corset
is designed.

DOING AWAY with THE HIPS
Exercise Is Essential and 1t May Be-
Obtained Outdoors or in Ones
Room Morning or Night.

Exercise is essential If you would re-
duce the hips. In case it is impossible
to walk or exercise outdoors during
the day, you can obtain the same re-
suits by exercising in your room morn
ing and night, says an expert on this
subject. Even a few minutes will pro-
duce results in time il this exercise
is taken regularly.
It sounds very simple, but you may
find it hard at first. Walk rapidly
around the room on your ltiptoes, rails
ing each knee as high as you can
without losing your balance. Continue
for at least five minutes, and then take
a cold sponge and brisk rub.
At night, after you have taken the
exercise, dip a Turkish towel in very
hot water and drop it about your hips,
placing a dry towel outside and keep
ing it in place until cool. Repeat this
at least six times; the effect will be
much the same as if you had steamed
your face, and you should apply alco'
hol to close the pores.

but the older members of the family, though big
in stature, extremely awkward, had many
Ills and didn't believe in efficiency. They were
