A Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rost
THERE are some sort of substitu
l. tons that strike us as being cheaT
and tawdry; and there are other in
stances where something is used in
place of something else and is entirely
TO our liking. Such is the fabric
broadtail that is copied after the fur
Of that name. 1t is in perfectly good
repute, though certain Of the fabric
limitations Of fur seem cheap and sec
ond rate to us. There are various cot
ton and woolen substitutes for fur
that are being used on suits and coats
for collars and cuffs this autumn that
are immensely attractive.
Fur is extremely high-that is, any
fur that is worth having. And rather
than have inferior fur most women
would select one of these furry or
woolly fabrics that have recently come
to the fore.
Angora. although we have had it
for many seasons, is still in high
favor. and very woolly edition of this
angora is used in the suit here sketched
where, another season, fur might have
been used. You will notice that there
is an absence of the angora along the
bottom of the jacket, and you may
have noticed that in jackets trimmed
with fur there is usually the same alb
sence of trimming along the bottom of
the jacket. The collar, is splendidly
proportioned. generous and skillfully cut
so as to provide warmth and an attrac-
tive frame for the face.
The suit is made along lines that
are being chosen by the discriminating
American women this season. In spite
of the widening of hips in afternoon
and evening frocks our suits remain
scant and narrow. There is the same
straight up and downness of jacket.
The narrow belt is likewise still in evi
dence.

Tu1E GIRL WHO DARED sat in the
big hotel dining room, where the big
yellow stretches of bright sunshine fell

inside there were only few we'll

The whirlwind week end at the fash

for returning to the job.
The waiter solicitously fiddled with
the water bottle, and just then the
handsomely uniformed man who kept
guard over the bags just outside the
dining room door came up to the table.

Why Do They Look at Her?

Dear Cynthia-In answer to the let
ter written by anxious" in tonight's
EVENING 1'UBLIo LEDGER, must say
that 7 am young girl, considered very
attractive by every one. l am decided
brunette and tall. l have had some ex-
pericnce with men, more so than a good
many girls of my age, as l have trav-
eled extensively.
Now just word in favor of the girls
who know. To the many men l have
come in contact with and especially the
ones that try to fatter me and say that
am nice, I say this: That when
any one tells me l am nice ] consider it
an insult. l do not know what other
women say to it, but in my estimation
it is an insult. Also. something else. l
have been working fifteen hours day
for some time and have not had much
time to go out with young men. My dear
Cynthia, will you please tell me why
every one looks at me on the street? ]
am always alone. l dress very stylish
I use powder and rouge, but not so as
to make freak" of myself.
When I am walking on the street real
bold men and women will stand still and
look at me; also the boys that congre
gate on street corners speak to me, and
now that I have ignored them so many
times they stand and look at me as
though they were afraid / might "cat
them"
