Il Paws to Be Courteous

Policemen should learn it pays to be
courteous. A Pittsburgh bluecoat
found such to be a fact. He saw a man
and two women getting off a Joplin
car, each carrying heavy suitcase.
The officer, seeing that one of the
women was having trouble in carrying
her baggage, CALAMITY stepped up and
asked that he be permitted to assist
her. When he picked it up something
inside ratified suspiciously. At police
station, says the Sun, Y quarts Of
liquor were removed from the suit

quent consultation of the mirror in

the mirror is no fiatterer. 1t is by no

The mirror is a merciless critic. It

into recognition of unpleasant facts
about your person. And if occasion

mirror may be classed as careless, as
one who would go out without glanc-
ing at her hands to mack sure they
were immaculate, or who failed to
brush her clothes. Indeed, a glance
at many women one sees parading
about the streets inclines one to the
belief that though they may be vain
about buying many adornments for
their person they aren't possessed of
the kind of vanity which makes them
regard themselves critically in, the
mirror before departing.
The mirror teaches one the need of
a good ensemble if one would be we'll

AUTUMN SKIRTS

Already in the new frocks a hint
of autumn is perceived. Certain
skirts Of velours de laine are worn
very short and opening high-rather
like those of the Merveilleuse period,
but which were by contrast worn
long.
Again, the ever-popular Oriental
note is struck in our toilettes, chief
ly by the skirt, which is caught in
under, the hem and allowed to billow
over it-a style which is reminis-
cent of the "harem" skirt Of a few
years agO.

TO BE CHIC

An expert on the wefl-dressed wo-
man has made the statement that the
best way to dress economically and
smartly is to provide oneself with one
suit and many hats. Anyone can see
how this works out. The initial cost
of the suit covers the whole season,
and it must OF necessity be Of some
dark and wholly inconspicuous ma
terial.i Then the changes are run on
the hats, having as many as ones
pocketbook or ones mood will allow
A hat can change q tailored or a
serni-tailored suit from a morning
gown into an afternoon gown and
again into a restaurant gown, i
sounds like a magician's trick.
