IKE the mocking bird who "bor-
IL rows his little music scores and
"makes all minstrelsy his own" blouses
look to every source for inspiration.
Variety seems to be their dominant
feature and they are, therefore, always
a new story. Two of them, as shown
here, are made of crepe de chine, but
this is their only common ground. The
long blouse at the left shows the peas
ant influence and is cut much like a
smock, with pockets. 1t affects the
peasant sleeve and makes much of
peasant embroidery. The neck is con-
sistently managed with it's open throat
and fiat collar, and silk in two colors
is used for the cross-stitch embroidery.
Bugle beads and small steel beads
work out the curious and fascinating
flower motif, with narrow border of
leaves, on the blouse at the right. 1t
is a slipover model, having the lower
part narrowed to hip band, with the
fullness under the arms gathered into
it. The unfamiliar and fascinating
flowers that flourish ut the front of the
blouse thrive SO well in the sleeves
that they almost cover them. This

n UK thoughts may lightly turn to
~ number of things in the spring,
but in the fall they must confront the
winter and concern themselves with
the substantial wardrobe it demands.
Just noV mothers are occupied with
the matter of clothes for their daugh-
tiers in school-froeks, blouses, coats,
hats and all the rest are to be pro-
vided. The older girls will have some
say-so in the choice Of their belong
ings, but their young judgment needs
guidance here as elsewhere
Those who design and manufacture
clothes for the young have simplified
matters. They are specialists and
they turn out, as rule, garments ex-
cellently designed and fairly well
made. Their choice of fabrics and
styles may be profitably followed by
the home dressmaker, since they have
wide market to choose In, and a
comprehensive view of styles.
In the matter of wraps the problem
is only one of selection, as these outer
garments are bought ready made. All
coats for girls this season are much
like those worn by their elders, except
that they are simpler and far less
trimmed. As a rule they are straight
hanging garments with ample sleeves
and collars of fur or fur-fabric. Very
simple braid embroidery, buttons and,

GUIMPES In NET AND LACE
Soft, Fluffy Effects in Neckwear, the
important Item of the Pres
ent Season.

Frilled guimpes in net and lace are
the big items in neckwear at present,
soft, fluffy effects.
Ecru is considered better than white
for this type, as the effect is richer
and more in harmony with ones cos
tune These guimpes are designed for
wear with elaborate suits rather than
tweed models. For tweeds and SIM
pier frOcks there is a charming col
ored organdie guimpe with hand seal
lOped plaits and insertions of white
beading.
Another type that is selling well is
the patchwork or Normandie, which
combines valenciennes, Irish, filet, ba-
tiste medalliOns, and even hand en-
broidery and tucked net. 1t is nOta-
BILE that parallel ruffles of valen-
ciennes are used a great deal on the
neckwear.
A guimpe of eyelet work was I'M
usual and distinctive. These lace and
net effects are now being made in
filet as well as guimpe effects. Col
lars are also made to match them.
No great sale of collar, and cuffs
is reported at present, but it is be-
lieved the organdie sets will be very
good later in the season, especially
for wear with sport costumes.

other of the small essentials that go

Shoes are especially confusing at
this time when so much is offered In

novel and the bizarre to usurp the
place of good taste
The feet should be beautifully shod.
but not in a way to attract undue at
tentiOn to them. Nor should one wear
shoes that in any way detract from
the costume with which they are worn.
The woman who cannot afford a COM
plete shoe wardrobe such as is neces-
sary in following shoe fashions today
would do we'll to adhere to black or
the neutral beige and gray tones
Black has an advantage over the
sand and gray shades, either singly
or used in combinations in that it can
be. worn with any costume and with
any of the hundreds of brown, beaver,

the ever-popular grays. Then again
variety may be obtained by wearing

doctor, whereby lie was compelled to
kill the first man he met. The Kikuyu
went to another witch doctor and had
the spell removed. But No. l was cute.
He placed medicine on the Kikuyu's
doorstep so that when the latter
stepped over It the spell would be re-
placed.
The Kikuyu came out Of his hut
shortly afterward Immediately ran
amuck, went down the street and
killed the first man he met-another

murderer both stood their trial and
