a~wo, shorter, at either side-all fin

This particular skirt is in one of the
1ich shades of terra cotta-which color
is called by several new names this
season as mahogany" trust" and "es-

But in any of the fashionable colors, it
only needs a blouse of georgette to
match it to place a handsome costume

lighter blouses one has the advantage
of variety and it remains a separate

The dressier separate skirts are
made of supple Weaves in silk; their
wearers sharing favors among satins,
silk poplin and tricolet Satin, it al
most goes without saying, is first in i'm
portance-it is used for about all the
outer garments of women, from hats
to slippers. Tricolet is a novel fabric
by comparison, but is approved by the
most smartly dressed women, and
pOplins are tried and familiar to every
one.
Besides these silks for dressy sepa-
rate skirts there are novelties in heav-
Ter weaves for sport skirts. The sport
skirt, in fact, has reached heights of
beauty and style far in advance of any
thing in its animated and remarkable
history. Possibly the restraint and re-

has operated to the advantage of
sport apparel. But the time is COM

the rainy afternoon. 1t was now

she might loathe the inelegant Maria

not show inhospitality in her own house,
even though it were no more than

upon a piny hillside.
She had hoped to be so happy
there with her boys-Dick and HUI
bert. Being their elder by ten years,
her dearest privilege was to fuss over
ond plan for them. Theoretically she
admitted a man had better choose his
own wife. Practically, she was firm
in the belief that in choosing her he
should have regard to much more
than his own vagrant fancy. Dick
was, though she did not own it ex-
eept to her own soul, even dearer
than Der own brother. He was so
like the elder brother, Elenas be-
trothed, who had been killed in a
train wreck while on his way to marry

A stamp of feet, a budding swish

was flung wide without knocking,

dragging forward a girl obviously i'll

PRACTICAL IDEA OF HEAVEN
Jimmy Could Think of Nothing Bet
ter Than Place of Solid Comfort
and Perfect Security.

Two little brothers in the country
shared huge feather bed. There was
a nightly scramble as to who should
be first to bed, so as to get the choice
place "at the back" protected by the
wall and by the sleeping brother sin
front" "In front" was regarded risky,
for one never knew what night some
terrible creature might come along and
carry off the front sleeper
One cold, stormy night the following
conversation was overheard, after a
period of quiet, in which it was
thought that the boys were asleep:
Jimmy" said Bud, whose voice had
comfortable t-the-back-of- the-bed
sound, "what do you think heaven is
like?'
"Why I think" and Jimmy's timid
voice had a trembling, yearning tone
in it, II think heaven is like a great
big, nice feather bed, with room for
everybody in it, and nobody has to
sleep in front"

Varvinn Ideas About Foods

Don't stick up your nose at hearing
of the strange foods other people eat.
You may be trying them yourself some
day soon, and, anyway, your things
probably look just as queer to them.
The Hindu would rather die than con-
sumo meat; the Amos look askance at
traveler-missionary "polluting" her
tea with milk, and the old-fashioned
orthodox Jew would as gladly eat a
piece of horse steak as broiled fresh
lobster or fried oyster. So it's all in
the point of view, and, if the truth be
told, anything that is not actually poi
sonous can be eaten and enjoyed If only
habits of thinking the things aren't
right are overcome.-Philadelphia

There are suits-and suits, most of
them plain, some of them piquant but
none of them fussy. With the supply
of fabrics growing precious no cos
tuner ventures to use more than the
regulation allotment of cloth, therefore
skirts are narrow and straight and
coats cut to conform to this shortage
of material. But the ingenuity of
designers, put to the test, has tri-
umphed and given us variety of new
models in coat suits and frocks that
do them great credit.
Skirts are a little longer than they
have been, since they must be two
inches below the shoe tops and shoe
tops are not as high as they were.
Longer skirts were proclaimed early
in the season, but women with busy
winter ahead of them have not been
inclined to. give up short skirts for
street wear. Those in the suits pic
t,1red are only two inches below the
shoe tops; that is, they are as short as
the unwritten law allows.
The suit at the left of the picture
