Now that war times make the Gus
tom of wearing evening wraps among
those that are more honored in the
breach than In the observance, we
have coats to take their place. Among
new ones are some very elegant cloth
coats that have been designed to see
their wearers through the day and
evening, too. They are quiet in color
and beautiful in Enes-eQual to all re-
quirements of dress. Besides these
there are very handsome capes of cloth
in distinctive styles that make one
question the ACCESSIBILITY of ever in
dulging in more snowy wraps.
Two of the handSOmest coats are
pictured above. The coat at the left
is of silvertone soft wool ma
terial with flecks of white all through
it-with collar and deep cuffs of fox.
Silvertone appears in taupe, blue,

and the minute white flecks in it give
it a silvery look. This coat hangs
straight at the back and front without
fullness except in the gathered side
panels of the skirt portion. 1t fastens

front and silk pendant ornaments
are placed at each side of the panels

Petticoats Are Narrow.

In tailored suits the narrowness Of
the skirt has rung the knell of the pet
ticoat, but for thin frocks this most
feminine of garments necessarily holds
its own. The petticoat must be of the
same length as the frock under which
it is worn, and it may be made of
batiste, fine nainsook, mOusseline de
sole, tussor or white crepe de Chine.
They are forcedly narrow, for fashion
has decreed the skimpiness of skirts.
1t is, however, quite permissible to full
them slightly. especially If the dress
that covers them is slit at the hem to
make walking easier. With conserva-
tive women delicate hand embroidery
will always be the favorite trimming.
Imitation lace and fine picot tulle give
an. effect of greater fluffiness and are
much less costly.

About Me. what it is to have
troubles"
"Oh, yes, do" said the little gilt
clock. 81 have been to the clock
members several times and he has said
some very cruel things about me-"
"What has he said?" inquired the
alarm clock.
"He has said" the little gilt clock
answered, "that little clocks which
were fancy and silly like me, always
were getting out of order"
''That was cruel indeed said the
alarm clock.
Eyes, it has made me feel badly
when I have thought of it." said the
little gilt clock.
"Stilf you only have harsh things
said to you when you get out of Or
der, and I have them said all the
time"
'You certainly are feeling mourn
full today" said the little clock. ''Tell
me your troubles, and perhaps you
will feel better then.'
"Well, it's this way" began the
alarm clock. 81 tell the time. That
is what most clocks do"
"Why do you say most clocks %
asked the little gilt clock 81 thought
all clocks told the time.''
"All clocks are supposed to tell the
time" said the alarm clock, tsbut all
clocks don't"
''Why not?' asked the little gilt
clock.
Because some are in such a hurry
and think they can get ahead of old
man Time that they rush along and
are entirely too fast. They are way
beyond the right hour, and those
clocks don't tell the time. They tell
the time very incorrectly. They are
impatient, silly clocks
.Then there are those clocks which
are always behind the time. They are
lazy and slow and they think, oh,
well, We'll get there. What is the use
of hurryingT
'"They are as bad as the clocks
which go too fast, and, In fact, con-
slider they are much worse than the
clocks which go too fast, for the slow
clocks keep folks behind the time and
the fast clocks make them ahead of
the time"
"You think it is better to be ahead
of the time than behind it, eh?" asked
the little gilt clock.
81 most certainly do" said the alarm
clock. 'Tt is a great, great deal bet
ter to be ahead of the time than be-
hind it.

don't actually and really and abso-
lutely tell the time"
