Scarfs Are Style
With Plaid Suits
Decoration Considered Nee.
essary for Every Coat
or Sweater.

Plaids and checks are having a
great vogue in Paris, particularly in
Woolens, writes a Paris correspondent
in the New York Tribune. Practically
every important tailor and every Paris
dressmaker who makes tailored suits
is using plaids. Dresses with long
capes are also being made of subdued
tartans and other cross-bars and checks
of intermingling tone.
1t is quite the fashion to use mono
toned .plaids-that is to say, brown
and beige, several shades of blue like
wise shades Of green and tones of
gray. The plaid is not always clearly
defined, often being in the ombre and
jaSpe effects. Smart women reserve
these plaids for travelling, informal
morning wear and for sports clothes,
but other women of less fastidious and
less discriminating taste use the plaid
suit for dress or for general wear.
All sorts of scarfs are worn with
these plaid costumes. In fact, too
much stress cannot be placed on the
scarf as the complement to the fash
ionable toilette of today In sports
wear the scarf is of utmost impor-
lance. Every coat or sweater has its
matching scarf whether knitted or
made from a fabric. The separate
scarf of brilliant-hued printed silk
took all the autumn resorts by storm,
and one feels sure from the prepare
ton now in hand of beautiful novelties
of this character that no costume on
the Riviera this winter will be COM
plete without scarf.
Among the latest novelties in scarfs
are those made of heavy crepe marc
cain, and are about two and one-half

Flannels for Fall.

Whether you are planning your
own one-piece dress or whether it's
babies shirts and petticoats that are
claiming your attention. when you
buy winter-time flannel, your first re-
quirement is that it be warm, soft, of
open texture, and spongy, elastic
weave. 1t is constructed either of
cotton or wool, or a mixture of these
two. You should understand, though.
that an "all-wool' flannel may have a
small proportion of cotton in it's
make -up-say, l per cent.
Baby flannel is the kind you get
for women's blouses. for baby's gar
ments, and in the heaviest qualities.
closely woven material creamy-white e
in color, and of fairly fine yarns.
Although it is usually all-wool, it
also often comes in silk and wool.
and less frequently, in wool and cot
ton The all-wool and the silk and
wool kinds are, of course, the warm
est, but the cotton and wool cloth
has the advantage of laundering bet
ter than does the allwool flannel, and
shrinking less readily.
Flannel shirting" is heavier and
usually darker in color than is baby
flannel" and so is suitable for mems
work or sport shirts. 1t is often used
for interlinings, too. and for petit
coats. You can get it in both plain
and twill weaveS. 1t comes in many
grades, too, and for that reason you
should be sure the piece you choose
is firmly woven if you expect it to

Women Now Interested in Gloves
BY MARY MARSHALL.

AS the manufacturers and mer-
chants put it, "a healthy condition
prevails with gloves. NO need OF
doctors or nurses, tonics or antitoXins
there, thank you.
You know what that means. "om-
en- at last have been prevailed upon
to spend what the glove dealers re-
gard as a decent and proper proper
tion of their dress money on gloves.
Perhaps they may be induced to!Spend
little more than ever before.
1t has been difficult to bring about
Just this situation, for women have
acquired the habit of going gloEeless
on many occasions. 1t seemed futile
to try and persuade them to do other
wise. If they won't spend money
buying many gloves. then let them be
persuaded to spend much money buy
ing few gloves-that was the logic
of the glove makers.
So gloves have been made elaborate.
Women do not so to their glove deal
crs and simply order gloves by the
half dozen or dozen. That sort of
thing used to be done Now each
pair of gloves is different-as diff
ferent as hats, and somewhat more
elaborately ornamented than really
smart hats are nowadays.
For instance, gloves are trimmed
with silver rkid-sometimeS with gold
kid. Bright -colored glace kid is used
to trim white, black or other ,conven-
tionally colored gloves. A pair of
white kid gloves shows clubs, dia-
monds. hearts and spades in bright
red or white kid appliqued upon
them Presumably one wears such
gloves to a bridge party. These are
short gloves with back cuff.
F'laring cuffs and Biarritz gloves
are also well liked, and these are
elaborately trimmed. Sometimes there
is elaborate embroidery of metal and
silk. Fur is used, not in generous
warmth giving bands about the cuffs,
but quite discreetly in narrow band
at the edge of the cuff. Cut-out flower
designs on black gloves show a white
white gloves show bright-colored silk
beneath.
a white kid glove shows a cuff
lined with plaid silk, following the
Unsuitable fondness for Scotch tar
tans in France. Batik finds a place
to show its delicate design on the
cuffs of tan and brown kid gloves
and a pair of light beige kid gloves
shows a cuff of slightly darker beige
fabric woven with black, green's and
rose in floral design, somewhat re-
scmbling tapestry.

returned from Paris what the glove
situation is there and you may meet
with some confusion. Longer gloves

Manners and Tact.

Sid is a very sturdy boy with a
downright fashion of speech. He has
a-clear notion of what a spade is
and can't for the life of him see why
it should ever be softened into any
thing else. He is rather dangerous
in a drawing room atmosphere, but
as he must sooner or later reach
there, his mother, in fear and trem-
bling, trots him out now and then.
There is an old family friend who
drops in when she feels like it and
checks up the family record since her
last visit with more curiosity than
tact at times. She asks about the
new furniture and its cost and states
her opinion freely. Unfortunately
she rarely has a favorable one and

certainly is a scared cat. Whatever
it is that scared her is underneath the

He walked over to the tree up
which Black Pussy had climbed and
talked to her. What IS it, Black
Pussy?" said he. "Come down here
and tell me about it. What is your
tail so big for? What did you find
under that back porch?'
But Black Pussy didn't even look
down at Farmer Browns Boy. She
continued to glare over at that hole
under tho porch, the hole which she
had always regarded as her very own.
The hair on her tail continued TO
stand on end. 1t was plain to see that
Black Pussy was both scared and
angry.
Farmer Browns Boy walked over
to the back porch. He got down on
his hands and knees and looked un-
der. 1t was dark under there and he
could see nothing. He got a long
stick and poked around underneath.
But he didn't find anything that way.

of was a Snake. 1t might be that

He went over to Bowser's little
house and unclaimed Bowser. With
Bowser at his heels, he returned to
the back porch. He bent over and
pointed to the hole. "See if there is
anybody in there, Bowser," he COM
manded. Bowser understood what
was wanted. He put his wonderful
nose down to that hole under the
porch and shifted. His tail began to
wag with excitement. He looked up
put his nose down and took a longer
sniff. Then he began to dig. Yes, sir,
he began to dig, and it was clear that
he was excited.

when he thought stranger was

dare ask an adult how he came to be

same sort of question. 1t is worse
than tactless; it is cruel.
If a child has a bandaged finger,
the first person he meets asks him
how he did it, thus emphasizing the
trouble. whatever it is. If he is lame
or ailing they come along and begin:
! How long have you had it? How'd
you come to get it? Isn't it too bad ?''
1t is much kinder, much more tact
ful, much more healthful to ignore
any trouble the children have until
they indicate that they need your

little speech as possible. Tact is a
priceless gift, but few of US might

HOW IT STARTED
"Flea in His Ear"
By JEAN NEWTON.

The rather inelegant but commonly
user phrase putting a flea in his
ear" describes the action of trou-
blemaker. one who, in the present
connotation of the words. points out
to an otherwise amenable person
some reason for dissatisfaction OF
discomfort with the matter in hand.
The allusion is to the fact, well
known to owners of dogs, that a flea
in his ear is one thing that will throw
a dog into complete confusion. Hunt
ers. we are told, are particularly con-
cerned If this occurs during the chase
because dog who could cope with
almost any other annoyance becomes
absolutely useless, if there is a flea in
his ear. until he rids himself of the
parasite.
