FOR GREATER
ALEXANDRIA
Mrs. T. Clifton Howard
Gives The Gazette Her
Views
Mrs. Howard Advocates More and Bet
ter Fairgrounds For The
Children

: More Fairgrounds is the thing Mrs.
T. Clifton Howard thinks VIII go a
long way toward making Alexandria
a greater Alexandria. Mrs. Howard
is president of the Parent-Teachers'
Association and chairman OF the Play
grounds Committee. She tells the
Gazette reporter that:
Education without recreation is a
very poor thing, but if it can be made
so that while the children are playing
they may, at the same time uncon-
sciously, be absorbing knowledge, this
is education plus recreation, and the
child only knows that ne is playing.
With the playground properly super
vised there can be no end to the good
that can be accomplished; games can
be taught that teach the child fair
play, teach him to respect the rights
of others, and in fact there is game
to teach the child anything that ne
should be taught.
"The playground may be compared
to little democracy with the teacher
as the chief executive. The children
are taught to take care of themselves
in a more respectable manner than
if they were left to learn the same
thing in some other place-the street
for instance. Alexandria has always
been deficient in its manner of car
ing for its children and no greater
mistake than this can be made, for in
the years to come these children will
become men and women and will carry
with them the things learned in child
hood.
81 sincerely hope and think that
there is in sight, means for opening
three Fairgrounds in the early spring.
The advantages of playground may
be clearly illustrated by the things ac-
complished by the Friends Play
ground from its opening last March
until it closed last week for the winter.
Hundreds of children who had never
known what organized play was be-
fore are now experts in some game,
or at least much better off than they
would have been had they been left
free to roam the streets as they had
done in the pre-playground days.

SLEEVES FEATURE
NEW FALL COATS
Fashion Authorities Disclose
the New Ideas.

Early Fall showings OF Ladies'
Apparel by manufacturers, give
some insight into next seasons
styles.
All makers are stressing the new
silhouette, which is essentially
straight. This new silhouette is re-
ally a modification of the outline of
recent seasons--a still further de-
velopment Of the straight line idea.
The coats are large at the top and
roomy through the shoulders but are
straight from the waist down. They
do not taper in as did the dolmans
of several seasons ago. In other
words, they are practical garments
developed in an entirely new type.
Sleeves areN still the important
feature Of the coats and wraps. The
new sleeves are set in extremely
deep armholes, some of them extend
ing below the waist line. Volumi-
nous cuffs in many fancy styles are
liked, and the need of something
warm and practical has not been
overlooked. for many of the cuffs
are gathered rather snugly at the
wrists to keep out wintry breezes.
with the simplicity of the straight
lines of the rest of the coat, it looks
as if the designers had given most
of their attention to the sleeves.
Sometimes tight bands of fur at the
wrist merely accentuate the distend-
ing sleeves, which, in their size and
shape are at once beautiful as well
as ornamental.
There will be an immediate de-
mand for the new top coats or
"ulsters,", which are made on swag-
ger lines of mems wear, heavy ma
terials. These models are reproduce
tions of real mannish oyercoats.
Double-faced stuffs are very smart
for street wear as well as. for sports
and motor coats. Mixtures and
plain-faced cloths with plaid backs
are made on these mannish lines
with odd patch pockets, belts, and
inverted as well as box plaits. Very
often collars Of some durable fur arc
added making these coats suitable
for wear all through Nthe winter sea-
son. Breast pockets cut ins sailor
fashion are seen on many models,
The average woman can wear this
coat and it's usefulness will instantly
appeal to the fair sex.
For dressy coats the designers
have combined wonderful furs with
exquisite new weaves in cloths, and
by following the new silhouette, have
created coats that are by far more
attractive than have yet. been pro-
duced.
