quite different than the older girls
coat, this model is made on a high
empire waistline. A deep, rounded
yoke is favored with a straight
military collar OF the fur and "fur
buttons" From this yoke the lower
part falls straight and rather full
to the knees. To guard against the
wintry winds, this coat is provided
with a. silk lining in a lovely shade
of rose.
A quantity charming coat for a
girl of eight or ten is of brick
colored silk duvetyn and mole fur.
The interesting feature is the cape
collar of mole that falls well over
the back and shoulders. The lower
part of the coat is box-plaited, and
there is a narrow sash Of the ma
terial that comes from the under
arm seam and is looped at the front.
For school days, sports wear, or
rough h-and-ready romp coat of
honey-colored homespun is both at
tractive and serviceable. A polo
model, showing large kimono or
raglan sleeves, is easy to slip on
over a heavy sweater after one has
finished her game Of asketball or
tennis. Strictly tailored, with
stitched turnover collar and broad
belt of self material, this smart ton
coat boasts no other trimming save

@oATS for the girl of six to
fourteen are varied in fab
RIGS and fur trimming as the
moods of the season, varied in
style as the moods of youth" That
is the way one buyer described the
junior coat models shown at the
fall openings. To be expressive,
clothes for childhood must portray
simplicity; that is why these new
coats are so charming. Miniature
models of what the adults are
wearing. provided they are not ex-
treme. are unusually quaint on
youngsters, and II is not at all sur
prising to see mother and her small
daughter promenading the avenue
in top coats cut on similar lines
and fashioned of the same material.
There is, indeed, a wide variety of
materials to choose from, including
fortuna cloth, peachbloom. silk
duvetyn, Yalama cloth, Bolivia
cloth, tweed, suede, velour, chin
chilla, homespun, and velvet. A bit
of fur is seen on the coats for
dressy wear, such as beaver, nutria,
opossum, mole, Hudson seal, squir-
rel. and kOlinsky.
For fourteen" one chooses
coat or sea-green silk duvetyn and
trims 1t with beaver fur. Youthful
models drop the waistIine almost
to the hips, and there add a smartlv
gathered section to reach to the
bottom OF ones best frock. The
upper part o. the coat is semi
fitted and is finished with a high
turnover collar of beaver and deep
gauntlet cuffs of the same fur. Fol
lowing the belt fancy of the more
mature models, this clever coat

Saving Money in the Home
Little Tricks For Women
in Household Economics
By ELIZABETH LATTIMER.

NNE Of the most common habits
among all housewives. is to
use old paper bags and
wrapping paper while cooking. This,
] believe, 10 q great mistake.
Take. Tor instance, when one
needs a piece OF paper on which to
drain the dried croQuettes, the
fritter, or the doughnut, almost
every woman reaches out for the
brown paper that came around the
meat. She turns to the same source
when she wishes paper for lining a
cake pan. A little reflection will
show how far from clesnly Is this
practice. In every kitchen q roll
of grocer's paper on its frame will
prove useful. You are then sure OF
having paper that has not been
handled since IL was rolled up by
machinery In the factory. Paraffin
paper should be on hand for COW
ering food, for wrapping up sand
wiches for school lunches, and for
similar purposes.
Newspapers cut into pieces of
convenient size or old catalogues, IL
used to place under kettles or pans.
viii save much scrubbing Of the
sink or table. light brown paper
or tissue paper should be saved for
use In cleaning greasy pans and
kettles.

And then the doors swung shut
again n he remembered that he
had much more to confess.
II va one thing to forgive q
casual strangr who, for private
or family reasons, went under an
Assumed name. II was quite an
other thing to forgive the man
one wished to shun and whom one
despised when, under . false naoe,

ploy.

by what he had just said, would
have betrayed some trepidatio. as

was about to make-would per-
haps, have shrunk from learning
more about him and his past. Verify
