Scarfs for
Motoring
By Rita stuyvesaut.

THE cool. crisp days OF Autumn
have brought the motorist
out to enjoy the splendor Of
the country at this season. And
with them have come the new motor
scarfs for women that are so smart
and servicable. While It Is yet q
little too early for the heavy top
coat the evenings are chilly enough
to warrant a wrap. and, for this
need we have the wool scarf. The
better shops are showing tulle
scarfs completed by q fetching
motor cap. and when one wears a
skirt of plaid and simple silk blouse
she will have an unusually smart
costume.
Tan woods is striped with green in
scarf measuring about two yards
Long and a half. yard wide. Deep
fringe finishes the bottom. and a
narrow tan leather belt with metal
buckle defines the waist. The scarf
is worn comfortably over the shoul-
ders, hanging down in the front,
where IL is belted. Sometimes
patch pockets are also shown.
Rose and gray combined their
charms into another smart scarf for
outdoor wear. The belt was fash
ioned Of gray suede in a lighter
tone and proved unusually effective.
There are any number OF other
pleasing combinations that one
might choose.
Knitted scarfs OF this type are
frequently seen in smart motordom.
The vogue for knitting promises to
be revived with renewed enthusi-
siasm when one can make such at
tractive scarfs in so short time.
Deep-knotted fringe may also be
made at home and adds not a little
distinction to the scarf.
To complete these scarfs fetching
caps and hats are worn to advan-
tage. A stunning tam or tan wool
accompanied the scarf, described
first. 1t was a soft pull on model
worn at a rakish angle and had
large green pom pom perched on
the top.
The rose and gray scarf had a
small hat showing the same colors.
1t was set deep on the head and
showed a band rolling back becom-
-inEly from the face. The cOlors
were well chosen for the crown was
OF, gray and the band Of roses. Rose
:worsted travel lovely flowers on
the gray background and lent
charm to this small motor hat.
Among the knitted hats there is
a new model that rises TO a, point,
is folded over and caught with a
,worsted fancy on tho right side.
Fancies Of odd design are erocheted.
such as conventional flowers and
fruit and sewed to place. Bizarre
color combinations are used extern
sively. Burgundy allies itself with
gold aud deep RuEple chooses scar
let for its trimH4iug =
The belts that complete these sets
are good looking accessories. Most
lv narrow widths are shown. less
than an inch wide. fve-eighths OF
an inch being the most popular.
Covered buckles are favored in the
light weight feathers and metal
buckles are seen on the more sturdy
belts.
These motor sets are now being
worn at fashionable Indian summer
resorts and from their have found
their way to the high roads" OF

on the steps Of his lodging

that had just been handed to him.

Just as David emerged from the

DeLlaine had intended to 50
around 70 the garage, more from

asked SamGei Leighton to communl-

been received several hours ago,
David reflected.
