A Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose

TATPE is, season in and season out, a
l. choice of the very we'll dressed
woman 1t is YOU know, the word used
by the French to indicate the little
animal that we call the mole, but We
use "taupc' to indicate merely the
shades that range around the color of
the moleskin. Navy blue is always
smart and there is much distinction in
the street suit of black when worn by
the woman who does not fade into in
significance in it. BrowB has the
virtue of being the newest thing. But
taupc is in a class by itself. 1t pos .
sesses what the salpswoman who sells
suits in the shops would describe
as class" and though you would not
indulge in an adjective so commonplace,
you know what she means when she
says it.
1t has been said that after the new
duvetyn suits are seen there will be only
one class of women who will not select
them and that will be those who cannot
afford them. However, that must be a
large class, for duvetyn is undoubtedly
expensive. But it is likewise beautiful.
And taupe is a shade that lends itself
extremely well to duvetyn.
There is an interesting use of fur
and embroidery in the suits and coats
this winter. and now we see how we'll
they combine we wonder that it was
never thought of before. In this suit
the embroidery is>not brilliant in color.
1t consists of work done in taupe -colored
chenille and silk. In using fur you will
notice that there is seldom an extension
of fur around the entire lower edge OF
the jacket, but frequently the fur is
used simply across the back. For this
is a season when our backs are rather
more ornate than our fronts. To complete
the monotone color system the fur used
both in this place and for the cuffs and
collar is of taupe colored wolf

AS for the real boy girls, if he does

other reason. Perhaps you made him
feel i'll at ease by carrying on per-
petual running conversation that made
him think all would be lost if it ever

young man think he was too slow for

tically.
Haven't you any work to do, Miss
Grant?' she said pointedly Miss
Tully doesn't allow probationers to
carry on affairs with the internes"
Miss Grant and were talking
about a case" Dick lied quickly. His
eyes followed Julia as she went down
the corridor and he turned hotly to
Miss Merritt and asked angrily.
"What do you mean by treating that
girl as you do? She hasn't done any
thing to you.'
Miss Merritt was instantly all smiles
and dimpling blonde sweetness. She
saw that she must play her cards
cleverly.
'Oh, what does it matter anyway,
Dick? We don't care anything about
her. I've hardly seen you lately. It's
been long time since we've gone any
where together" a... -
But Dick wass thinking of Julia and
was distrait in his manner. Even
Miss Merritts delicate fattery failed
to attract him and she saw this. Was
Dick actually beginning to care for
that sad eyed little probationer? It
couldn't be true; she would have to do
something about it.

gested
He shook his head, Cant manage
1T, sorry, he said curtly, and was off.
Miss Merritt stood where he had left
her, her blue eyes hardening, her lips
drawn into a line. 1t was true, he
was crazy about this girl. Dick Nugent
liked novelty and this Julia Grant with
her evasiveness and air of mystery had
gone to his head, Grace Merritt was
thinking of the ignominy of losing Dick
to a probationer, but more than any,
thing she was thinking of what it would
mean to lose Dick himself. She had
not realized until Julia had loomed up
on the scene just how much she had
grown to care for him. True she had
known that he was trifler, and that
he had no idea of being serious with
her, but unconsciously MS every woman
will do, she had dreamed dreams and
Dick Nugent had always figured in
them.
She clenched her fists and thought
wild thoughts as she stood there, and in
the meantime Julia, the unconscious
cause of all this emotion was soaking
her aching feet in scalding hot water,
tears in her eyes from the pain of It.
She had already forgotten Dick Nugent.
she was too tired to think about any
one or anything. and the prospect of
dropping dog weary into bed was the
most delicious thing in the world. Even
the dull sense of pain that had been in
her heart for days was numbed. For
the time she was just weary girl eager
for sleep.
