Some Drivers Have Real Fear
Something May Happen.
Careful Inspection of Car Before Be

Use Of Plenty of Common
Sense Are Essential.

Some automobile drivers have a real
fear of driving in the winter rains
along city pavements and country
highways. There is a constant dread
In the mind that something adverse

car may skid, something may 60

Fears of winter driving would be
greatly lessened," declared e. e. Gals
ter, director Of sales for the Standard
Steel Automotive corporation, "if the
motorist would use plenty of common
sense in the matter Of actual driving,
together with careful inspection of
his automobile before a lengthy jour-
ney is undertaken. One of the really
great errors that driver can make
in travelling during the winter months
is to imagine that he can proceed at
the same rate of speed that is pos
sible during the dry months.
"Of course, the pavements, after the
oil has been washed off by the early
rains, are in no sense a danger, yet
it is we'll to observe proper precaution
and play safe. The, reason for driving
at a slower speed in the winter
months than during the summer is that
a motorcar cannot be brought to an
abrupt stop as easily on a wet pave
ment as Is the case on dry stretch
of roadway. The brakes may be ap-
piled but if the car is going at high
rate of speed it is not at all certain
that it will not slide just enough to
cause collision at curve or a rail-

That Custom Is Now Exclusively
Confined to Women.

Relics of Indian art are shown In
prOfuse quantities at the Field mu-
scum in the form of stone or clay
saucers like the "nestS" in which
painters mix their water cOlors.
One of the many uses to which these
bits of stone or clay were put was to

to mems faces and breasts certain lines

wide latitude for individual choice.
If ChicagOanS of the pale and pasty-

or frock or cutaway coats on formal
occasions, the original male leaders
of local society wore vivid dashes Of
paint on their faces to distinguish i'm
portant scheduled moments of either
peace or war.

Real expression Of Paris IS found in
the restaurant frock. And this is the
time of year when designers over
there are bending the best of their ef-
forts to create dresses of such charac-
ter. Then, observes a fashion writer
In the New York Times, while we in
America do not go in for the restaur-
ant frock as such, still we have dis
tinct predispOsitiOn to dress of this
type, and it is from those models for
Partisan restaurant life that we take
many of the ideas which carry us into
more particularized American crea-
tions. The dresses, in fact, which are
being worn now In Paris are those 1t
behOoves us to watch from this side of
the Atlantic, If we wish to be any
where in touch with fashions as they
proceed along their varied ways.
But the restaurant dresses that are
new just now are the lOveliest, 1t
seems, which have ever been made.
The Snowflake herald., 1922-02-10
Must Watch the
Modes of Paris

they have been in the recent past. But
in New York, wherever well-dressed
women are gathered together, there is
q surprising preponderance of black.
During the last few weeks one has
noted some exception to this general
rule in the way Of all-white frOcks seen
on many of the younger girls Of the
theater and dances. But, as a rule,
these frOcks are made along plain and
simple lines, just as their black sisters.
and they take the tone Of their gen.
eral effect from their harmony with
the personality Of the wearer.
Often a white dress on a very ac-
centuated brunette type will create the
most wildly colorful effect. And
again the all-black costume on girl
whose hair and complexion are light
blonde are the things which make
every beholder sit up and take par
ticular notice. Premet's gown Is made
from a combination of black satin and
vivid blue chiffon, upon which foun-
dation are sewn black Jet cabOchons in
a regularity of pattern which is most
charming.
Again the waistline is lonE without
being too unwieldy In its general pro-
portions, and again the design and con-
struction of the frock are so simple
that they seem to defy competition in
that particular direction. The black
satin is so arranged that it seems to
make the foundation gown, but moth
ing of that sort has really happened.
The two materials are so blended that,
between them, they make pattern
and a clever combination that seems
destined to make the gown which
shall be the most successful of the
season.
From this gown it will be seen that
no particular accent has been put up
on the waistline. At that point a
simple fold Of the material has been
the sole claimant to distinction. and
it has succeeded in preserving the
straight line of the gown with perfect
effect.
Drapng Is Interesting.
The draping of strings of jet jewels
is the interesting feature trimming of
this gown of Premet's. Against the
lighter color they are always posed,
and they are allowed to swing in loose,
long lines, contributing their effect to
the general gathering together of lines
which all tend in up and down and
exaggerated directions. Ladies must
be tall in the modern clothes, and tall
without the slightest interruption to
that scheme. Even If they are short
to begin with, they are still expected
to wear clothes to make them long
looking in spite of themselves. And
| for the ladies who are really tall to
| begin with-why there is no end to
the heights they will manage to reach
with the aid of the modern dress.
They must not be afraid of their own
exaggerated lines, that IS all. They
must frankly accept the fact that they
are the leaders of style and play into
the hands Of the dressmakers who
wish to use every atom Of the height
which is theirs by natural birthright.
Poiret is usually noted for doing the
outre thing In the way of women's
dress. He is the insurgent in the
camp. And yet when you whittle it
right down to the base of the situa-

Black Crepe Frock With Silver Beads
They are simpler even than the SIM
plest Of daytime frOcks, but they have
that distinction of cut and line and
fabric which marks them for leaders
In their own generation. Most of the
draping has disappeared; uneven
hens, except those very much re-
strained, are taboo, and altogether the
best of the fresher dresses of this sort
have resolved themselves into quite
classic affairs.
Quite interesting are the newest Of
the dresses from three of the leading
Partisan couturiers. They are Jenny,
Poiret and Premet, each of whom is
entitled to a distinct command for
fashion as it exists and shall exist. All
the waistlines are as long as is consist
ent with a picturesque effect. The
material is the only real consideration
about the gowns, and, while the skirts
are long, they are not unduly so, to
instigate 2 riot in the camp of those
who hate to see the skirts of dresses
drop too far.
Sparkes With BriIiancy.
Jenny's dress is made of black crepe
The French call it "crepe moroccan
noir." 1t is then trimmed with the
slightest tracery Of beads in silver and
gray. 1t might, upon this description,
be called dull, but only by one who did
not know the art of a French designer.
q u
Jenny-can make black and gray and
silver shine until they glow with color
and that with only the merest bit of a
pattern of trimming with which to
create a contrast.
The bodice of this frOck is typical of
so many of the newer waists. 1t is
just a trifle longer than the normal
waistline and manages to give that
effect of complete Indifference to a
waistline of any sort. But, as a mat
ter Of fact, it is studiously arranged on
foundation or lining dress, which
holds it uncompromisingl in place.
The bigneSS of the sleeves is only an
excuse for giving actual grace and line
to that portion of the frock, and the
sleeves are center of the design of
the costume as a whole.
Around New York just recently q
great many dresses of this general
character have been noted. They were
mostly made of a dull and heavy crepe.
or of shiny black satin of one of the
standard and reliable weaves. But the
sleeves are always very big and floppy,
and they manage to give a grace to
the costume which is distinctly new
and which, it has been noted, is some
thing which adds a totally novel char
acter to the gowns Of this season.
Many of these dresses are made
without any trimming whatever and
most of them are in black. They are
the smartest of all, beyond any doubt.
But here have been seen frocks made
in the most brilliant of colored crepes
and satins, which have held their place
along with the general throng in a
quite remarkable way.

In Filling, If Clear, Fact Will Be
Indicated by Overflow of Water
Over End.

In filling the radiator Of the car,
allow enough water to pass in to
bring the level over the end of the
vent pipe If this pipe is clear, as it
always should be, the fact will be
indicated by the overfowing of the
water through it. If it is not clear,
the water will overflow through the
filter cap and not through the vent
pipe, which should be attended to at
once.

PROPER CHAINS SAVE TIRES
Without Them Wheels Tend to Spin
Around More or Less Rapidly on
Slippery Surfaces.

Many motorists seem to believe that
tire chains induce wear; not If they
are properly used. Without tire
chains the drive wheels tend to spin
around more or less on slippery sur
faces. Sharp pieces of stone, cinders
and other similar material in the road
cut the rubber and scrape it deeply,
a condition that does not arise when
the chains are in place.
