lans are very popular. Belts are in- evitable, either at the backs or com pletely circling. Capacious patch pockets are noted on almost all boys overcoats, but these are often com bined with obliquely inserted breast pockets with very swagger effect.
 Collars are deep and full, are com fortable and smart in all weathers, but delightfully."- protecting in severe spells. In speaking of overcats, one must not overlook the plaid reverse sides amny are showing.
 Interesting Suit Developments
 Boys suits show an extreemly pleas ing variety in styling. Pinch back the older youths-some are made models are much in demand for the yokes and inverted pleats. Norfolks, too, are we'll liked. Patch pockets are a prominent feature = coats button high with short, stubby lapels, and produce an exceedingly jaunty effect.
 Suit models for juveniles are equally clever and distinctive. A Norfolk suit that buttons all the way up through the neck is much favored. Middy and sailor blouse suits hold their we'll es- tablished places-an innovation is the use of kimona sleeves on these.
 One piece knitted suits for the wee toddler are so cunningly picturesque and quaint with their pointed caps to match, that ones attention need hard ly be directed to a vogue so univer- sally indorsed. Eatons, Tommy Tuck CTS and Oliver Twists lend a pleasing diversity.
 Furnishings For Youths
 Furnishings for youths, of course, refelet the style tendencies of their elders. Striped cravats are much in evidence. Noticeable is the prefer ence Tor solid colored shirts of tans, grays, whites, etc. Those with collars attached, buttoned down models are favored.
 Medium-sized sailor hats with turned up brims are shown for juveniles. These are made of fine felts and beavers in deep toned colors and black. Cloth tams are well liked and are surely worn by the little fellows with pleasing effect.
 Boys of the school-day age decidely prefer caps and wear them with reg ular college bred air. The fall caps

Cease lamenting, you fond mamas who have regretted time and again that your Johnny wasn't Mary. "'Cause there's a heap more fun derssing girl"
 What with boys clothing smarter and more attractive every season, and girls patterning theirs after brothers there's very little ifference-unless it's that boys clothes are better styled and tailored if anything!
 Risking the displeasure of feminine style constituents, we're bold in quot ing that limitation is the sincerest flattery." Just notice the mannish coats, sheared locks and knickers girls are affecting, and you'll understand what we mean.
 Reviewing Boys Fashions
 A general review of the fall and winter style for boys impresses one with the colorful patterns and weaves of the woolen fabrics. These are mo- ticeable in both suits and overcoats, but are particularly emphasized in the latter.
 Black and white mixtures and shades of tan, brown and green are best liked. Some are developed for overcoats in soft finished, fuzzy fab rics, but more hard finished woolens are observed this season than for quite a while. And they DO give much better wear.
 Coats Are Loose Fitting
 Voluminous, loosely fitting coats are much in demand-Klavacles and rag

PARIS CREATES
 NE W WRAPPER
New Type of Garment Literal ly Wraps Around Figure;
 Coats Are Similar
BY MARION HALE

The old fashioned wrapper long since has gone out of fashion.
 Trim little house dresses with gay chintz and queer floral applications have made us forget how unsightly this particular type of house gown was.
 But a new wrapper has come into our lives, come by way of Paris, where it learned how to be very smart. It must have originated, though, in the Far East-it is so subtle and feminine.
 This new type of garment literally wrape around the figure and, like the problem play, the ultimate solution is an individual matter.
 This is the season of sophisticated clothes. No woman wants to look like her neighbor. Manufacturers can't make a different model for every in- dividual, hence the wraper costume, which every woman may manipulate to suit herself.
 It's Flexible
 The skirt to your new frock may look just like a straight piece of ma terial weakly adhearing to an inner belt. But when you learn how to man. ipulate it you may look like Cleopatra, o ra goddess, or whatever type you aspire to.
 Sometimes thre are snaps or invis- ible fastenings to aid you in your op- erations, but more frequently it is sim ply a trick you must learn for your self.
 With the wrapper frock, the lining becomes most important, for it is like ly to be in evidence frequently.
 Coats and Capes Follow
 Coats and capes of the more dressy type nearly all follow the general plan of wrapping. Many of them are caught up with buckles or ornaments, but in other cases there are no fast enings, and woman holds her cape to the lines she desires with her hand The newest wimonas wrap about the

SAYS EYEBROWS MAKE CHARACTER
 READ|NG SIMPLE
Beauty Expert Declares All Women Acquiring Habit of
 Shaping Own Eyebrows
BY MARIAN HALE

Paris recently held contest to find the woman with the most perfect pair of eyebrows.
 Mademoiselle Myrtle May won the first prize because of the extraordin- ary length and slenderness of her brows, while the alluring quality of her dark, oriental one won second place for Mademoiselle Estelle Gresso.
 Thousands of girls were in the con- test and thousands were eliminated be- cause they had followed the present fad of plucking or shaving the eye brows to attain the slender penciled effect.
 The artists who judged the beau ties said this practice destroyed the natural beauty of the eye, and took away the character from the face.
 Mrs. Martha Schaffner, head of the beauty parlor of the Pennsylvania Ho- tel, New York, who studies women from al lparts of the country, says that plucking the eyebrows has ceased to be the fad, but has become an es- tablished practice.
 Takes From Character
 Practically every woman we treat has her brows shaped into the line she prefers. I will not say that this des- troys the natural beauty of the face, but it does away a little of the char acter.
 You can tell much about a woman's disposition and natural tendencies by studying the eyebrows" she contin- ued.
 When 1 see woman with heavy clearly marked eyebrows. know she has physical vigor and exceptional powers of observation and perception.
 "Thin eyebrows tell me a woman is physically weak and vascillating in her opinions. She'll never take firm decided stand on any matter and stick.
 What Smoothness Shows
 "Even, smooth hair indicates even- ness of though and orderly mental habits.
 When each hair seems to have a different idea as to direction. the owner is apt4o be cratic, temperamental and moody.
 Full, bushy eyebrows proclaim the genius, particularly if there is con siderable width between the eye and brow.
 "Arched eyes are paradoxical-they seem always to be asking qeustion, but in reality they are taking every thing on faith, believeing implicitly what is told to them. They usually lack a sense of humor, and are seen as followers rather than leaders in

figure, and sometimes wrap quite tightly-if the figure warrants it.
 These costumes suggest the uncor- seted figure, but in nearly every in stance there is a girdle or boned foun- dation of some sort.
 The husband who found his fingers all thumbs when he attempted to join the hooks and eyes on his wife's frocks should welcome the new styles.

BASQUE FROcKS

Basque frocks are new this season and are naturally adapted for wear with the long, full skirts. Frequently lace ruffle, which falls from the throat to the waistline, entirely ob- literates any feeling of severity or close fitting.

Treacherous Sign

"A treacherous nature is often be trayed by eyebrows drawn down on the inner corner toward the nose, fol lowing waved line over the eye.
 "Bushy eyebrows, slightly curling, are frequently outward manifestations of an irritable nature and a hot tenn per. The owner is usually very posi- tive and opinionated and often intol- erant.
 Love of argument registeres itself in the brow drawn down on the outer corner.
 Perhaps one resan women pluck their eyebrows is that their character istics may not be too easily read. They all love to create mystery, you know"

The school girls costume is receiv- ing a little consideration now from Dame Fashion. FN
 A smart frock that allows for abso- lute freedom and still has very good lines is this harum-scarum dress of blue trimmed with rows of white braid.

 What child would not appreciate those roomy pockets? And what is more typically youthful than the neat sailor collar?

FIREMAN IS
 INJURED IN
 SMALL BLAZE

Fire, starting from an explosion in a gas stove which had been left un- attended, and the subsequent spread ing of the flames to a. large pile of pa pers overhead resulted in the utter ruin of the barber shop of A. Varisco at 7S 8Broad street, severe damage to the laundry of Chin Lee. which is ad- jacent to the barber shop and the painful but not serious injury to Hoseman Span" Bowden, attached to Engine House No. g. The damage to the barber shop fixtures is expected to tally close to $70O, none of which is covered by insurance. The build tng was completely swept by the flames but presented nothing but severely scorched appearance after the flames had abated. The damage will not run over $200. Damage to the laundry is placed at $100 by Chief Me1lor. who was in charge of the fighting forces.
 According to the explanation given by the owner to Chief Mellor, he put a small pot of coffee on the fire to boil and went to 8 nearby store for some other edibles Upon his return he noticed the papers on fire and at tempted to extinguish them with his hand. Failing in this he dashed to tho front of the store where Box 122 is stationed and pulled the alarm. Soon after the arrival of the firemen the blaze was put under control.
 Hosenan Bowden was later trans ferred to the Emergency hospital where he was treated for a multiple 1aceration of the hand, sustained when cut by flying glass.

Now that the American Committee has allowed us to extend the election another week the city will, we know, come to the front and help the candi- dates and by hard work and loyalty boost the funds for the poor French people living in the villages of France.
 Let us all forget what Is being done in the high places and vision those who are waiting for the message of help that the second Good Will group will carry over next Spring.

SUGGEST USES
 FOR THE PLAZA

Bridgeport's proposed million-dol- lar plaza may yet become trolley transfer and distribution center( as was at first planned. A Chamber of Commerce committee, appointed to study this question, has suggested this use of the plaza in the belief that it will eliminate much of the trolley con gestion on the narrow main streets Of the city.
 Other uses for the plaza are sug- gested by the committee. The conn mittee members think it would make a most desirable park right in the heart of the city; it might serve as the site of noble war memorial; it could be used as a point for the distribution of vehicular traffic; it might even be made into public market or provide automobile parking space.
 All of these suggestions are made by the committee, which is composed of A. H. Terry, chairman; J. P. Pot ter, A. K. Watson, o. S. c. ziroii, H. w. Barlow, H. B. Curtis, and s. P. Senior. The committee will hold a public hearing at four o'clock We'd nesday afternoon in the assembly room of the Chamber of Commerce. when the matter will be further con Sidered

AMATEUR YECCS TACKLE A SAFE
 WITH CLEANER

Burglars continued their activities over the weekend. according to re- port made to the Second Precinct where an attempt was made to force an entrance to the United Grocery Co.'s store at 1427 Stratford avenue. The thieves were apparently scared away, however, before they had time to complete their plans.
 Some time during Saturday night thieves entered the store of Joseph Horin at 271 Hallett street, and made off with merchandise valued at $5Oo- Keyworkers are believed to have been responsible for the job as police who investigated the case were unable to discover any doors or windows open.
 Amateur yeggmen are believed to have been responsible for an attempt to crack the safe in the Bray meat market at 1645 Main street some time Saturday night. The break was dis covered yesterday morning. Ihe door knob of the safe had been chop ped away apparently with a c1eaver and the safe itself in other ways n1u- tilated in such a manner to convince police that the work was not that of pr ofessionalS.
 Failing in their attempt to force tho safe the thieves had broken into a gum machine nearby and made off with about s3 in pennies.

AMERICAN LEGION CONGRESS PROGRAM
 IS TO BE PUSHED

Washington, Oct. 9-The full weight of the American Legion is to be thrown in toward securing the adop- tton of a constructive legislation pro- gram at the next session of Congress which will meet the wants and desires of the country's ex-service men.
 Aside from the so-called Soldiers Bonus, the fight over which is expect ed to be renewed as soon as Congress reconveneS, two outstanding features of the proposed program are:
 1. Enactment of law which would draft not only fighting men but labor and the rest of the nations man-power in @ national emergency such as war.
 2. Creation of a new committee in both Senate and House which would deal exclusively with legislation af- fecting world war veterans instead of bills and other measures involving them being referred to a dozen diff ferent committees, as now is the practice.

 HIS IRATE WIFE

David Thompson of Port Rich mond. Staten Island. drove to Bridge port from New London yesterday on one of the latest model bicycles. Ar irving here he left the wheel in front of Adley's garage and went to a near by house to inquire for a party named Brown. When he returned from making the inquiries the wheel was gone. Thompson rushed down Full ton street at top speed until he met Officer simpson. Relating the incl dent to the officer they both began a search for the wheel They traced 1t down Fulton street to Main and who should they meet but Jackie Seenior of 56 Fulton street astride the wheel at the cornsr of Main and.
