Seen in Washington Shops

Duvetynes have been very popular
and in great demand this fall and
for that reason the supply is usu-
ally quite low. At Schwabs there
are a number of attractive models
on hand now, and among them a
very attractive combination of the
duvetyne and velvet in two shades
Of brown The skirt of dark brown
velvet is not only fared,- but cir
cular; the waist is basque-like, of
faison shade duvetyne with an ir-
regular peplum which Is bound in
the velvet, as Is the " neck. The
! sleeves are finished with buttons.
There Is . small duvetyne collar
which may be worn up or down.
An attractive velour hat at Meyers
Military Shop was developed In a
deep rose shade and embroidered in
yarn of tan, blue and purple. There
are some attractive tam and scarf
sets. too. of wool Jersey, finished with
yarn.
There is everything imaginable made
for the children of today from the
tiniest tot. up. At Woodward and
Lothrop's saw a sweet little cos
tuner in wicker and blue silk, which
is dainty enough for the tiniest soul,
and such ducky coat-hangers, too,
all padded and covered with ribbon.
For the boys Of school age the
Palais Royal was showing such
warm, serviceable suits in brown
corduroy, with pockets for all the
knives and tops and fishing-tackle,
and everything that boys are sup
posed to carry in their pockets, and
one for the watch, too.
The monument not only meets our
gaze all over the city. but graces
shop windows in picture-frames as
well. A lovely on, in the softest
grays. Is shown at the Veerhoff Gal
lery, and an entirely different idea is
carried out in one displayed in shop
farther down.
