FROCKS FOR
AUTUMN
3y Rita StuyyeSant-

a FTER season Of short
u frocks. the long dresses
are here at last to stay.
And what a problem it presents
to lengthen ones brief skirts to
make them appear smart and not
in the least patched" and home
made. But there are many clever
ways of Disgusting ones frocks,
to bring them strictly up to the
minute.
Many Of the new gowns are
really, not short, but appear so
because Of the long drapery used
on the skirt. This offers a splen-
did chance for those who would
like TO lengthen a short skirt.
Four lose panels. shaped as a
fish-tail and lined with contrast
ing material may be hung from
low belt line to fall considerably
below the skirt. Panels with bias
ends are smart, and II the ma
terial is soft. they may be picoted
on the edges. Pleated panels are
most effective, but the side pleat-
ing should be very small.
II you cannot match the ma.
terial Of the gown, you might
choose a harmonizing shade, or
perhaps a striped fabric will lend
a new note to your old frock. A
bit of the panel material on the
blouse as a collar or cuff edge
will bring pleasing equality to
the costume.
A black taffeta frock from the
early spring consisted Of a snug
little bodice with full flare skirt
deeply scalloped at the bottom.
The bodice was quite worn. so it
was removed from the frock. and
a new basque corded to fit the
figure was used. This basque
came we'll down over the hips,
thus lengthening the skirt to the
ankles. A deep bertha cape COL
lar, also scalloped, fell a little
over the shoulders, concealing
the very brief sleeves. A cor
sage of gay little worsted posies
was tucked. in the belt. One
really could never recognize this
swank little creation when com
pleted.
Another interesting way Of
ienBtHeIlinB TUCK iS 10 remove
the blouse, and attach one that
comes considerably below the
hips, as a straight chemise style.
This material may be contrasting,
making a two.tone frock. The
new blouse may be trimmed with
bits of the original to match the
skirt. A girdle that ties around
the hips, and hangs below the
skirt might also probably be Of
the new material

Rules for the Game

trary to the reality with which
we all have to work in order TO
make good.
When a man Tor a woman) re-
spects himself. his stand, his way
of doing things-it is easier for
him to keep going &" along the
straight path which he can see
ahead. What's the use Of seeking
out a path of devious twists and
turns7 What advantage is there
in having to remember what you
told x and how you put thing to
Y? The truth has a way OF pre-
vailing in the end and 1t is wise
to recognize 1t and to give II
chance.
But without moral courage no
one has a chance to make good.
Fear is the greatest influence
for evil of which we know. To be
afraid is to handicap yourself be-
yond all sanity. How can any one
forge ahead IL he Is afraid Of each
new aspect of the day. Fear
shadows the path SO a man can't
see where he is setting his feet.
Fear makes for hesitancy,
warped judgment and uncertainty.
Most things offer two solutions.
There are generally at least two
ways out of a situation-or into
one. The man who In afraid hesi-
tates to choose. He wastes valu-
able time conjuring up what may
happen IL he chooses wrong. But
even the wrong choice is likely to
work out fairly well when a dyna-
mic, fearless man forges ahead, be-
lieving in himself and in life.
How can a man be fearless when
he is conscious that he has lied?
He is haunted by the dread of be-
ing found out. He is terrified at
the idea that the, facts would have
worked and, that his evasions will
defeat him. There is a pernicious
and vicious circle haunting him
and keeping him from acting with
vigor and assurance.
Most crooks get caught. Most
liars defeat themselves. And all
