not be fulfilled. One is that the long
coat which Paris liked will be fash
toned in such a manner that 1t will
not only look like a gown, but will
be a substitute for it.
These coats were called redingotes
when they were brought into style last
summer, but they had small follow
ing in this country. They are merely
repetition of a fashion of five years
ago, or rather of the fashion that has
come in and out of the centuries.
The European women are more apt
to adopt these coat frocks, as they are
called. because their houses are not
overheated. The American looks a bit
askance at the costume, because she
cannot throw it off in the dollhouse
tempera ture which she strikes as soon
as she enters the front door.
However. it is a strong fashion and
must be regarded as one of signifi-
canoe.
Appear in Thin Fabrics.
The sketch shows the kind of coat
that the autumn may bring in. AT
this season 1t is made of taffeta, but in
October 1t will be made of serge and
other warm fabrics. The top is ex-
tremely loose, with sleeves that drop
to the waistline. There is a muffler
collar of white taffeta, an Indian belt
of the taffeta, heavily embroidered in
colors and bullion with a deep fringe
of metal.

THE HOUSEHOLD
Edited by ANNE RITTENHOUSE


If you could ever get inside the
mind of a saleswoman or salesman
who goes thru a campaign of Christ
mas shopping in popular depart
ment store, you would probably share
their general belief that SO per cent
of the persons who went Christmas
shopping after the first of December
were lacking in courtesy and good
breeding. We shoppers see only our
own side of it. 1t is not our fault, We
reason, that the stores are full to ca
pacity. 1t is not our fault that labor
is so scarce this year that often the
stores have to work with a force much
smaller than was usually deemed ade-
quate to handle the same amount of
business.
No, it is not; neither is it the fault
of the young man or woman who
waits on us. After all, we are all in
the same boat, and we are merely
pid If we adopt the 'You-are-an-en-
tirely different sort-of-person" atti :
tude toward the young men and
women who wait upon US.
If you try to buy something at a
crowded counter it is really your duty
to see that you are waited on. For
that reason you should note your posi-
ton among the customers, and when
you see that it is your turn to be at
tended to you are perfectly justified
to say to the sales person who turns
to wait on someone who has come
later than you. II believe / am the
next" or Il have been waiting longer
than your other customer" But
there is no reason why you should not
say this in a courteous, considerate
tone of voice. Your excitement and
fluttering manner usually only serve
to make the salesperson assume a
manner of greater deliberateness and
lethargy than ever. 1t is human ma
ture that it should be so; you would
do it yourself if you were on the other
side of the counter.
When you sally forth to do shop
ping when the shops are full, do make
an effort to carry enough small money
so that you do not have to wait for
change. This greatly facilitates the
work of the sales force, and. of course.
simplifies your own task of shopping.

This is one of the coat frocks which
Paris insists, and which is rumored
as the leading fashion for autumn.
1t is of black taffeta, with white
taffeta collar and girdle, embroid-
cred in colors and finished with
metal fringe.
Women will encourage the pattern
companies and the seamstresses and
make their varied gowns at home.
The public demands variety in clothes.
No government is going to keep them
from having it. But that is too big a
discussion for so small a space as this.
The fundamental fact is that the
fashion makers are at their old trick.
New things for autumn are being
shown and create gossip. In another
four weeks the first Paris openings
will begin and then the rumors of new
fashions will fly thru the air like
leaves before gale. At present there
are few prophecies that may or may

"TIt For Tat
Says Yankee
To Frenchie

Paris, June 19.-In the final settle
ment of the American government
account for the rental of the Hotel
Crillon, headquarters for the Ameri-
can peace delegation at Paris, the
French owners of the building have
presented a claim for 500. 900 francs
for the loss OF clientele.
The owners claim that because the
hotel was closed to all its customary
guests during the occupation by the
peace delegates. they have lost large
amount of the good will of the place.
They also present a claim asking
ESQ, 900 francs because the Americans
in the peace party spoiled the serv-
ants by the extra size of their tips.
The American managers of the
peace party have countered those
claims with bill for 100000 francs
for the advertising the hotel received
because of its occupa ton by the Amer
lean peace party and another bill for
25O, 900 francs for the training of the
servants of the place in the way Amer
leans like to be served.

the Frost Is Hero.
Those who create fashions are apt
to mix up the world in a way that
makes women believe there is no rest
between seasons.
The moment a woman has achieved
the appalling task-for it is appalling
these days-of arranging a wardrobe
for a certain season. the fashion
makers begin to cry aloud their new
ware for another season. When we
are getting our spring clothes we are
told much about the cool frocks that
are needed for August. When we have
arranged the brief and transparent
apparel which is now considered cor
rect for the dog days, we are told to
fix our minds upon the fashions
which come with the first frost.
1t is a hectic world. 1t is useless
for the historians and philosophers to
tell US that wars are inevita bic and
that the reaction of all wars, to the
conquered and the victorious, is a time
of exhaustion; what women know is
that they must face a new problem
each month, and that no matter what
other wars did to the world it is the
reaction from this war which takes
all the character they possess il they
would override obstacles to serenity.
The fashion people go gaily on with
their trumpeting of new clothes be-
fore ones best clothes have had an
airing. and this has nothing to do with
the reaction of war. for it is a trick as
old as time, but it has its added irri-
tation in upsetting times.
Coats That Are Gowns.
The talk of the reformers to get the
government to stabilize fashion might
be likened to the rafting of peas in a
tin pan. If all the manufa cturers and
dressmakers combine to sell uniforms
to women the public simply won't
buy.

LOCAL WOMAN NAMED ON
CHILD'S CODE COMMISSION
Mrs. Stanley F. Reed is Named by Gov
ernOr Member Of Most Important
State Commission.

Governor Edwin p. Morrow Satur-
day named the members of a special
commission known as the "Child's
Code Commission" which is to under
take the great task of codifying the
child welfare laws of Kentucky and
prepare a unified system of legislation
on the subject before the 1922 session
of the General Assembly.
The appointment of this commission
was directed by joint resolution of the
1920 General Assembly in order that
the state might get straight on all of
its child welfare laws and in order that
the state of Kentucky might have as
coed laws on this most important mat
ter as any other state in the Union
Mrs. Stanley F. Reed. of this city, is
honored by being named by the Gov
ernor as a member of this commission
Mrs. Reed is a leader in Women's
Club work in this section of the state
and has always taken a keen interest
in child welfare work. Those who are
associated with her on this commits
sion are Miss Francis Ingram, Mrs
Charles B. Semple, Mrs. Maurice Bel
knap and Elwood Street, of Louisville

union CARPENTERS
FAIL TO GO TO WORK;
MISUNDERSTANDING
Misunderstanding Of New Wage Scale
Halts Work of Many Union Cerpen.
ters-Meeting of Union To BE
Held This Evening.

The majority of the local union car
penters, although they showed up for
work on the various jobs they have un-
derway, failed to go to work this
morning because of what both union
men and contractors call a 'misunder-
standing of the new wage SCALE"
Union men this morning made II
very plain that they were not out on a
strike as had been reported on the
streets but all expressed. confidence
in thorough understanding of mat
ters when the union hold called
meeting at union headquarters in the
Masonic Temple this evening.
The trouble seems to be over a gen.
eral misunderstanding of the applica-
ton of the, new union wage scale
which went into effect with the
first of April, Beginning with the first
of April, the union carpenters wages,
under the new scale, were advanced
from so cents to 80 cents per hour
Last Saturday was the first pay day
under the new scale and the carpen-
ters complain that some of them re-
ceived 80 cents per hour and others
received only so cents per hour. 1t de-
velopes that those workmen engaged
on new contracts received the new and
higher wage while those engaged on
old work, under way at the time of the
adoption of the new scale, were paid
off at the old rate of 60 cents per hour
Contractors contend that the car
penters were to finish work under way
at the time of adopting the new scale
at the old rate while all new work
was to be paid at the new rate. This
seems to be the point where the un'
! ion men are dissatisfied but a meet
ing of the union has been called fol-
tonight when the new wage agreement
will be gone into carefully and it is
thought that a satisfactory settlement
of the differences can be reached with
out the necessity of calling an ofIlcia
strike of any nature.
The union carpenters who are en-
gagged on new work. and who received
80 cents per hour for last weeks wori
are at work as usual today while none
of the carpenters engaged on old wori
are working.
