THE AUTUMN
SUITS
-PoPrNr.
BY Rita Stuyvesant-

VOW comes a hint Of the
III suits that will be favored
II this fall. Clever straight
line models, suits with swagger
box coats, twill or tweed, are all
represented in the autumn display
of what the well-dressed woman
will wear"
There s considerable demand
for all shades Of brown. Cocoa,
rosewood brown, coffee, or the
deep tete de Negro, are all being
worn. The brunette perhaps will
do well to choose the coffee and
cocoa shades, while the deep
rich browns are better suItea -
the light type.
A smart suit for the youne
woman features a slim little box
coat and a slender wrap-around
skirt. Navy blue, black or rose
wood brown twill is used for this
model and a dash is given to the
jacket by a gardenia bouton-
Mere.
English tweed is used for a
similar suit. showing the short
hip.length jacket fastened with
mannish bone buttons. The skirt
is also of the wrap-around type,
but is buttoned at the side to the
knee. A jaunty sport hat with a
quill thrust across the front goes
we'll with this sport suit.
Among the less expensive sport
suits there are some attractive
styles In wool Jersey. especially
in the dark heather mixtures
These Jersey suits are exception
ally well tailored, and lined with
soft crepe satin.
A one-piece frock and Jacket
to match is found to serve
double purpose, both for street
wear and as a smart frock at
bridge or tea. Sometimes the
upper part of the frock is simply
a blouse of crepe silk, embroid-
cred or tucked, and attached to
the straight skirt at the hips.
This season the blouses have
long sleeves, of the straight and
narrow kind, or the fulled peas
ant type.
Suits of this kind are offered
in two tones of brown, with per-
haps embroidery of a different
blending shade.
Occasionally we find the plear-
ed skirt with short flare coat
made from the light weight
fabrics. These suits. with pretty
frilly blouse and smart hat are
excellent for the afternoon prom
enade for business or college.

ADVICE TO THE
LOVELORN
The Lost SuitOr.
BY Beatrice Fairfax.
nEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
had beer going about
with young man for a year
and half when we drifted apart
for no reason at all. I met
young man the same time who
has professed his love for me
time and again and wants to pre-
sent me with an engagement
ring next month.
Now, Miss Fairfax, I care for
the latter man, but love the for
mer dearly and can't get him
out OF my mind.
have been speaking to this
first young man for the past
few weeks again, but he doesn't
seem to care Cor me any more.
Is there any way by which
could get him TO care.
ANXIOUS.
pERHAPs your interest in the
first man Is nothing but pique.
Human nature longs for conquest
and often finds what 1t cannot
have desirable merely because it
is out Of reach. Are you sure that
your attitude toward the first
young man Is not a compound Of
injured feelings, curiosity and long
ing to bring him to your feet
again? Don't let an idle fancy or
stubbornness make you cling to
the unreal-but don't pledge your
self to the second man while there
is the slightest doubt in your
mind about the first love. 1t may
be an uneasy ghost-even If it is a
mere ghost. 1t must be disposed
of before you car be ready for
real love in your life.

Memories.
Waves OF disturbing memories
came sweeping back to him as
ne rolled up the door Of the
hotel. It was close to ten years
since he had come jouncing up
IN the hotel stage to that very
portal, an awestruck. self-con-
ncious bridegroom with Marjorie
"A her new snug little brown
hat pulled over her black curls.
1t was hard to think Of himself
as the same person. His lip
twisted with q touch Of the old
bitterness when he thought Of
how she had treated him, how
ne had endured all her whins.
how he had humored her! He re-
membered the way he had show
ed off his strength to her up in
their room. Ginning himself to
the frame OF the bathroom door,
and lifting the furniture with
one hand. What a big bump
Kin he had been! What kid
what an ass!
The three days at Del Monte
were a tremendous success, every
one agreed. There were just
twelve in their immediate party,
but half the guests Of the hotel
were known to one another Of
their group. Motor cars were
much in demand for drives along
the ocean cliffs: the ladies
Knocked croquet balls about ove-
the. close-clipped lawns, the men
showed iron weights from end to
end of sandy shuttle boards on
the verandas; Philip suggested
bowling match, but the general
opinion was that this game was
too strenuous, and that bridge
was more amusing. Cards oc-
cupied the late afternoons and
most Of the evenings. Lucy and
Leila Vale undertook to teach
PhiIip how to play bridge, as
he was needed to make up the
third table. His mind worked
tardily in grasping details Of
games, and Leila Vale would
have given him up in despair had
Il not been for Lucy's logged
determination that he should
master it. She had her own rea-
sons for persistercy. Wilbur, a
bridge enthusiast, was called in
20 assist, and from painstaking
and point-by-point instruction
Philip gradually grasped it's rudi-
ments.
A Brilliant Affair.
On New Years Eve there was
O big dinner at the hotel, fol.
lowed by an elaborate ball. A
great deal of champagne was
served, and Philip was surprised
to observe how freely the women
drank. Lucy only slipped her
glass, but Beckie Meriweather
and the others absorbed astonish-
ing quantities, seemingly with,
out effect. He himself became
aware that the lights were blur
red and iridescent, and that he
was having a marvellous good,
time. Leila Vale. in whose COM
pany he found himself continu-
ally, he decided was a most
fascinating creature. She aggra-
waited him by the way she flut-
tered her eyes at him; he fol-
lowed her about the verandas
and corridors; he wanted to have

DRESDEN, October 26.-Proceed-
ings for dissolution of the so-called
red battalions of the Hundertschaf-
ten" have been begun throughout
Saxony. Hundreds of rifles and a
goodly number of machine guns
already have been rooted out and
confiscated by the reichswehr and
leaders of the troops will be arrested
as fast as they are caught.
Just how strong the red. battalions
are cannot be ascertained. but 1t is
known with certainty that they are
equal in number or superior to the
reichswehr. Their formation and
armament form the cardinal princi-
pie of socialist and communist poll
tics here.
I'VE have proof that the guiding
principle behind the formation of
these irregulars is ultimate establish
ment of a soviet government in Sax
ony." said a reichswehr officer to the
writer today. The same game was
tried in the Ruhr three years ago.
The Saxon radicals did not have time
to organize their forces so well as
the Ruhr radicals. The hundertschaf-
ten still are in the embryonic stage,
but. given rein, they will inevitably
have built up a dangerous, full
Hedged revolutionary army"
Strong I'm Dresden Area.
1t is in the industrial region of
southwest SaXony and in the region
about Dresden that the red battalions
ars supposed OF be strongest. To in
vestigate the situation the writer
made a trip to Pirna, on the Elbe,
near the Czechoslovak frontier. where
shooting took place Wednesday and
which is famous in history as the
place where Gustavus Adolphus, the
Protestant King of Sweden, once in
flicted a sanguinary defeat on Catho-
lie Saxon troops in the pay of the
Holy Roman empire. .s
The town looked like a Belgian
town during the world war. Reichs-
wehr sentinels with loaded rifles and
ugly German steel helmets stood at
the head of every street. Patrols kept
the civilian population moving. Mill
tary trucks circulated everywhere
with deafening racket over the age
old cobblestone pavements. Camou-
1taged armored cars guarded the Hotel
Black Eagle, where reichswehr head
quarters had been established.
To the writer's amateur judgment
the picture seemed overdrawn, be-
cause complete calm had reigned in
Plrna before the arrival of the troops
and because nobody, not even the
troop commanders, expected trouble
as a result of Wednesdays shooting.

this appeal for public support in help

a year to defray the expenses OF send

that II has Just as much n chance to

There is no question that the money

handled by honest and competent

idea what II costs to select, mobilize,
transport. train and keep n team OF
two or three hundred athletes in con.
dition to compete in the games. The
coat of transportation alone Is a stag

Some money has been raised by the
committee through Individual sub

But II is not fair to hold that
against the committee appointed to

taking the team to Antwerp n that
the committee was sort of out OF prac'
