full curve and give certain trimness to the figure.
 The whole effect of the tailored out fit must be one of chic and smartness. Every detail ought to chime in with the severe simplicity of the suit. If a single thing is out of key your ap- pearance is ruined. Now your coat, for instance, must be plain and smartly cut if it is to be worn with the tailored dress successfully.
 A coat having any embroidery or fancy trimming simply won't do. But, if you have a sports coat that har- monizes with the color of your dress it might be pressed into service. If you can afford it, the best solution is to buy both a tailored frock and a coat that is meant and designed to be worn with it.
 Variations Of Coat.
 These coats are coming along and taking their places in the Court of Tail ored Things. They are extremely man. nish with their well-cut shoulders and set-in sleeves. Raglan shoulders are not seen at all on these coats and it isn't surprising since fit and correct hang are two of the most important features to be considered.
 Perhaps you do not care to buy q coat that is more or less limited in it's usefulness as the mannish topcoat would be. In that case there is am other novelty which would appeal to you from the standpoint of economy. It is called the two-in-one coat be- cause it boasts a detachable cape that has the happy power to change the whole aspect of the coat. Without the cape it's lines are trig enough to make it suitable wrapping for the very plan dress or suit. When the grace ful cape is snapped into place, it might well be worn with a dressy afternoon gown. The lining of the cape is often very colorful and trimmed with rows of metal braid. If the material were fine black twill the coat would be equally good for both outfits.

the curved fronts of the "coat." The sleeves were short and finished with a tailored band. Instead of a scarf or any of the other neck trimmings that come up around the throat, the white silk guimpe had Peter Pan collar and with it was worn big soft tie of black silk spotted with white. This dress simply abounded with youthful charm.
 Bobbed Hair Goes.
 The young woman who wore this dress had black bobbed hair that swung around her cheeks like skeins of black floss and caught the high lights as did the satin of her frock. The boyish haircut is so in keeping with the youth full spirit of this type of dress that it isn't likely we will see any change in hair dressing modes for long time to coine In fact, the revival of simple, tailored styles will probably cause a great many girls to have that queer feeliffg that comes when first you find yourself shorn of the knot of hair at the back of your neck.
 Another suit-frock which was very much admired was of black mannish suiting with white hairline stripes. The little make-believe coat was double breasted after the approved manner of tailored suit. However, it was diff ferent from suit in that it had & narrow belt which crossed the front from one underarm seam to the other, leaving the back perfectly plain. This belt nipped the waistline in ever so little, just enough to suggest grace

Small Hats F or Early Wear
 Popular
sy JANET wlnsLow

For the hat which has been worn through many wintry storms and rains. before spring actually does appear, 1t is good idea to choose something small and close fitting. Of course, one would naturally do that, you might say. but after visiting the spring collections it is truly a great temptation to buy one of the wonderful larger hats, which would be so much better for wear later on.
 One special feature seems to be the adherence to the shape of the small hat in the trimming. Only in rare cases are there any protruding orna- ments, or drapery. Especially in the everyday hats is this true, as these must be sensible above everything else. Neatness and n certain compact snug ness is typical of most of them, while the smartness is achieved by odd touches of constrasting materials or unusual decorations. Ribbon is being used more and more in all of its charm ihs variations. and has been cleverly twisted and pleated into the smartest of flowers and cocardes. There are fthe new ribbons of metal and silk, and patterned moire and double faced vel vets in every color and combination of color. Some hats are, made ex- clusively of ribbon, featuring the kinds with scallopped and pointed edges and those with stripes and plaids woven in brilliant colors.
 We. also find hats trimmed with cords of taffeta and bands of felt and metal braid. One tiny bonnet shaped hat has as decoration many narrow strips of felts stitched down with metal thread to fine milan shape of navy l'blue. The felt is contrasting in color

by himself before he got acquainted mother, and outfitted. the savage chauffeurs on all hands. All by him self. 1 don't know why it is that get being from the swirl of daily life and plant him in world inhabited only by himself and one other person. but am finding out that it is so. When you are getting ready for Ernest to come you are SO absorbed in getting the right effect on your face and the right hang to the correct frock for the occasion that you are otherwise dead to exist ence. If the house blew up and the walls fell down you would be revealed before your dressing mirror totally unA conscious of the catastrophe.
 When he is really here we might shriek to you that the bank had failed, the whole family was dead and there were bolsheviks at the back door, but the noise never would penetrate be- yond your hairnet. Nothing short of a hammer blow on Ernests head would has gone you are thinking so deeply on the subject of how different he is from all other men that it is impossible to get into communication with you.
 You avoid obstacles as you go through the house much as does a sleepwalker. | am becoming worried about letting you outside on the dan gerous streets alone. You want this new crepe dress to wear to that house party and it is important and you real ly must"
 Mother" broke in the fair young creature who had been examining her face in a mirror, "don't you just adore dark olive complexion like Ernest's I think he" es
 The indignant mother made a sound like bark. T guess there isn't one bit of use!' she declared. My land !''

being the palest of canary yellow. There is | flat floral ornament low on the side of the brim in, gold ribbon, matching the stitching on the felt. The crown of the hat seems exactly the same size as the head and shows n deep fold of straw at the back, where the brim seems to, disappear.
 For new tailored suits and the tail ored dresses there seems to be standard hat. 1t is very tiny. little more than a crown, in fact. and is of shiny black straw with narrow ribbon binding. and very unobtrusiye trim ming. These hats vary one from an- other only in the placing of the orna- ment or in the texture of the straw. By their absolute severity and re- straint they have become accepted as the only possible kind of hat that can be worn with the suit.
 In the category of fashions snsall- est hats, one cannot possibly overlook the turbans. Turbans are appearing in most fantastic shapes, departing on all lines fromft the accustomed rules, and therefore giving much more interest than they would if they looked like anything we had ever seen before and termed turbans. Brightly printed silks and handkerchiefs are twisted tightly about in arranged folds and pinned by cleaning jeweled ornaments. Even soft straw is twisted to create turbans in combination with heavy silk of match ing color. These are worn very low over the eyes and ears and follow the natural lines of the head in contrast to former turbans of voluptuous folds and fullness.

"The most exasperating thing about your present state of mind, began the mother, who was not afraid to speak as she thought, "is that your brain IS dramatically sealed to any vocal sound which hasn't something to do with your beloved! If should sit down beside you and croon ditties which had to do with your Ernest you would listen ab- sorbedly. Beyond that you are as deaf as a post!' Now, mother" protested the fair young creature with the patient kind ness the younger generation uses to- ward the old and decrepit in the forties or so, don't get excited and nervous !! Were you talking to me a minute agoW
 The indignant parent walked five steps and counted 10 before she spoke. Yes, Rorine." she admitted. You and I are the only persons in this house, and when stand 15 feet away through an open door and shout words you are safe in concluding am shout ing them at you. I was telling you that the dressmaker is coming tomor- row morning to make your crepe dress and that she can't make your crepe dress until you have bought the crepe. You'll have to go downtown shopping today"
 Ernest adores my rose-color crepe" confided the fair young creature to the general atmosphere. He says it brings out all the tints in my face"
 They always notice those things when they are engaged" agreed the in dignant mother. After you have been married five years you can wear the same dress for 395 evenings and on the 395th he'll look at you and say, My goodness, when did you get the new dressY
 Not that he loves you any the less, you understand. only there's an excit- ing article on the sporting page in the newspaper that he wants to read. But 1 really must point out to you that there are several other items on earth still besides Ernest. The sun rose and set before you ever were introduced, and peoples meals went on and every thing, hard as it is for you to compre- hend the fact. I. really was embarrassed the other evening when the Grigleys were here to dinner and MT. Grigley asked you if you cared for Russian music and you said you were simply crazy about it served with lemon juice p

1annish Suit Is Gctator Of

The new mannish suit not only brought with it an array of accessories such as vests, fobs and neckwear, but t is having decided influence upon dresses and coats. When these suits first appeared they were thought of uereiy as good looking addition to ne's wardrobe. It is now very evident at they. are but an item of a great ogue for tailored clothes. Your dress, ult or coat simply must be tailored. One suit is typical of the style which 'as started this rage for severely tailor things. It is of gray suiting checked 7ith darker gray. Silk braid binds the ollar and the front of the coat. The ilk shirt as well as the tie are in that cry happy looking shade called pow fer blue, the tie having stripes of black md white for contrast. When you ook at its youthful lines, it is not to 'e wondered that other wearables have dopted them.

THE TREND OF FASHION
n ASHION'S color scheme as re- N flected in the modes for the
 south and for early spring

n ASHION'S color scheme as re- flected in the modes for the
 south and for early spring is of decided interest. Certain shades stand out in high relief while the tendency to employ black and white in effective combinations is very pronounced.
 Much yellow is seen, especially in the costumes for southern re- sorts and in the various accessories that contribute so materially to the successful ensemble of the moment.
 Green has lost little of its pres- tige and the soft tone of moss green is chosen for tailored frocks of cloth and the more informal models developed in crepe, silk alpaca and flannel.
 Powder blueA brick dust-a tone not unlkie the rosewood of last sea- son-and mocha are other colors that are favorably considered, while one finds Chinese influence in certain bright shades of red and blue that are used more for trim ming than for an entire costume.
 It is this particular shade of blue that appears in the sash of velvet ribbon which gives an accent to the frock shown in the sketch. The or iginal model, displayed at a recent fashion show,, was designed by one of the most famous of Americas fashion authorities.
 The foundation is of flesh color satin yelled with single thickness of black tulle. Over this is posed fine black Chintilly lace which ex- tends up to the base of the throat in front but in back is cut in deep V.
 The skirt is composed of alter nate rows of black and cream lace. In back there is a significant fea- ture in a short curved cape of black lace edged with narrow cream in- sertion. Leaves of rose color vel vet are appliqued ti the sash.

We Women
ReIativity, Goldfish and

YT HE world in which a canary lives, of course, Is q small one but the A. world in which little school of goldfish, lives is smaller. A canary, at least, can sing but 30 far as we know goldfish have no means of mak- ing themselves audible or understood. A goldfish is just a goldfish. A poor fish is just poor fish.
 I hear a great deal about the drndg- ery of married womcn--the average married woman who rises early, pre- : ;s..4 <. :. ssasv fur iIef husband, sends < sa.m of with q smile and q slss % nis work, and then begins the aiiSEediy cruAl. monotonous, daily routine ot her household work and diities. nnt is this really lrrdgery9 Ever thing is relative. A canary can sing. A housewife can sing and experience and imbibe of the thrills of happiness. But how about a goldfish-the poOR fish?
 do not mean to shed any false tears, especially about a fish, in spite of the fact fish, poor or otherwise, subsists upon salt water. But consider the case of a goldfish as compared with that of the housewife-the slave and
 
 The housewife does not have to live in n tiny glass bowl. She does not have to swim around in small circle, her world restricted to the congested limits of a glass bowl. She can eat what she wants to. She does not de- pend upon the whims of the keeper of school of goldfish. She can go to the movies or theatre when her work is done and when her husband returns from his work.
 The goldfish, on the other hand. knows of no such pleasure, to our knowledge A goldfish is just gold fish. A fish-poor fish--is just fish.
 Why do some of us complain? Prof. Einstein did us great service. Every thing is relative. 1t would do us good, as an exercise in the art of under standing cOsmic values, to think as we watch a goldfish swim around in bowl, doing the same thing over and over again. day in and day out, from the beginning of it's small, uneventful life to the end, for a goldfish is indeed living thing and has brain and a heart, even though that of fish. Pes simism and self-pity should be outlaw ed. The lot of a woman--even the lot of a woman who has, comparatively, q hard time of it--is not such bad one. It could be worse. It could be the lot ot a goldfish.

IVORY BUTTONS

Buttons are used great deal just now as trimming for dresses. Ivory buttons in particular are seen on black and brown satin frocks. Most girls think these are simply imitation ivory, knowing that real ivory would be far too expensive to use in this way. How ever, they are not imitation in one senset, for while they are not made from elephant tusk, they are made from a nut which grows in South America from which comes what is called vege- table ivory.
