coats and ensembles in gradually In

an unexpected increase Of black for

that smart women on the continent

consider it as anything more than a

does not coincide with the tempo of

CHAPTER vi
A Stars Homecoming

The return of Mrs. Sage after an alb
sence of % years was an event far
SURPRISING in interest anything that
had transpired in Rumley since the
strange disappearance of old oliver
Baxter.
Hundreds of people, eager to see the
famous Josephine Judge" crowded
the station platform long before the.
train from Chicago was due to arrive;
they filled the depot windows; they
were packed like sardines atop the
spare baggage and express trucks;
they ranged in overflow disorder along
the sidewalks on both sides of the
street adjacent.
The train pulled in. The crowd tip
toed and gaped, craned its thousand
necks, and then surged to the right.
Above the Kissing of steam and the
grinding of wheels rose the voice OF
Sammy Parr far down the platform.
keep back, everybody! Don't crowd
up so close. Right this way, Mr.. Sage
How are you? Open up there, will
you2 Let 'em through. Got my new
car over here, Mr.. Sage--lOts of room.
Hello. Jane! Great honor to have the
pleasure of taking Mrs. Sage home in
my car. Right over this way. Grab
those suitcases, boy. Open up, please y
MIR. Sage paused aghast half way
down the steps of the last coach but
one. He stared, open-mouthed, out
over the sea of faces; his knees seemed
about to give way under him; his
nervous fingers came near relaxing
their grip on the suitcase handles; he
was bewildered stunned.
"In heavens name" he groaned,
and then, poor man, over his shoulder
in helpless distress to the girl behind
him-"Oh, Jane, why didn't we wait
for the midnight"
But someone had SEIZED the bags and
with them he was dragged ingloriously
to the platform. Jane came next, GRIM
son with embarrassment. She hurried
down the steps and waited at the bot
tom for her mother to appear. AS
might have been expected Of one so
truly theatric, Josephine delayed her
appearance until the stage was clear,
so to speak. She even went so far as
to keep her audience waiting. Pre-
ceded by the Pullman porter, who up
to this time had remained invisible
but now appeared as a proud and shin
ing minion bearing boxes and travelling
cases. wraps and furs, she at length
appeared, stopping on the last step to
survey, with well affected surprise and
charming assumption of consterna-
ton, the crowd that packed the plat
form.
Now. a great many-perhaps all-of
those who made up the eager, curious
crowd. expected to behold young and
radiant Josephine Judge; they had
seen her in the illustrated Sunday sup
plements and in the pictorial maya
zines: always she was sprightly and
vivid and alluring. They were con-
fronted instead, by a tall, angular
woman of fifty-two or fifty-three, care
lessly-even "sloppily" in a
slouchy two-piece pepper and salt
tweed walking costume. What most Of
the observers at first took to be wad
of light brown fur tucked under her
right arm was discovered to be q
beady-eyed "Pekinese."

The most significant feature of win
ter fashions is the new silhouette
which has finally and utterly deposed
tenacious tubularity. You may Danish
every last lingering doubt; the undevi-
atingly slender outline, called various
~ pencil, tubular, straight-line and
narrow, has lost its place in the sun
and belongs now to the oblivion of
history. In its place there have come
not one silhouette but many, each bas-
ing it's vogue on the mere fact that it
is no longer straight, advises a Paris
fashion correspondent in the New
York Herald-Tribune
The most usual of the new outlines
Is the hemline flare, frequently, but
not always, accompanied by nodded
bodice. Constant iteration for several
seasons has made the sudden skirt
flare sound much older than it looks,
but in any case it is the dean of the
new outlines, numerically the most
popular and destined shortly TO be
Newer variants are the shoulder flare
and the princess silhouette, whose
vOgues will rapidly gather momentum
as autumn turns to winter and win
ter to spring, and the kinetic line of
Lucien Lelong, perhaps the most dis
cussed development of the season. Kin
etic, as Lelong uses it, connotes mo-
ton, and the kinetic silhouette is
merely a free swinging outline de-
signed to keep pace with the restless
mobility of modern women. Freedom
is its essence and no matter how COM
plicated the cut the effect is always
one OF unencumbering simplicity. 1t
does not attain genuine width until
the wearer is in motion.
Velvet Is Prominent.
Velvet is the material which should
be worn by the composite smart maid
en-, and it's popularity evidences the
power of propaganda. Months ago,
when the ladies of the sea were pirou-
citing on the summer sands, the stage
was skillfully set for the entry of vel
vet into fashions domain.
Skirt length is a theme upon which
Paris and New York are not in accord,
but the difference is not great. The
Parisienne keeps her hemlne about
sixteen inches off the ground while the
modish mesdames on this side of the
Atlantic have moderately lowered the
border from two to three inches. Your
composite lady then will have to in
clude two skirt lengths in her ward
robe-if she must indicate a prefer
ence it should be for the edict Of New
York-the longer and more graceful
skirt which reaches to thirteen or
fourteen inches off the ground.
The high neckIine is another identi-
flying mark OF this season, given the
stamp of authority at Longchamp and
1t may be choker. round or square. On
our typical lady we shall choose the
high square line although it does not
rank first numerically. 1t is the most
advanced type. however, and will sur
vive the others.

mosphere. The maiden of this very
enlightened year is a most feminine
creature in comparison with her man
nish predecessors OF last season and
her boyish prototypes of open-coated
fiapper days. Severity has been re-
placed by elaboration, and everywhere
the mode is striving toward gentler
conceptions.
Cape Theme Is Featured.
Captain Molyneux, in his winter Of
fering, favors an extremely moderate
sort of flare which is a compromise
between the straight-line and the hem
line distension.
The cape theme for winter and re-
sort wear. has a prominent place in
all three collections, and it is freely
predicted as one of the vital themes
of next spring. Molyneux utiIizes the
cape idea for separate wraps and cape,
coats, while Bordeaux introduces it as
a cape and dress ensemble. Chantal
has several prominent models in her
winter showing.
The jumper dress holds its peren-
NAL place with no perceptible diminu-
ton of it's vogue, although the new
versions are different. Molyneuy, for
instance, combines a jumper freck
with a matching topcoat while Chan
tri's jumper models invariably have
fine wooden skirts which are plated
and flare in varying degree. The short
jacket suit, featured particularly by
Molyneux. is another mid-winter note
which will be heard again next spring.
Decorative Heels.
The decorative heel is one of the log
ical developments of the usage toward
more feminine conceptions and the
early winter models are taking advan-
tage of this phase Of elaboration.
Heels which match the buckles are
a smart note in evening slippers and
one bother is showing shoe which
combines a Cuban heel and a square
buckle, each studded with pearls in
the same effect. Another modis~ YER
sion matches the heel with the timing
of the shoe-an Inheritance from the
costume ensemble. Batik heel eff
fects are also en- regle. Perugia. the
famous French bother, is emphasizing
metal heels for his afternoon and eve
ming models. and they are invariably
ornamented in a striking manner. For
formal evening wear he shows heels
of eolored stones.
The low-cut slipper is the smart
est type in Paris and the cut is graded
according TO the occasion. In the aft
ernoon the models are less cut out
and they are comparatively simple,
while for evening low cut-outs and
elaborate ornamentation conform to
the latest dicta. Veauvelours, a very
supple species of calf. Is Perugia s

Sleeves seek supremacy and find il,
for in them is vested the most impor-
tant of the new fashion notes. After
noon and informal dinner frocks of
velvet, or a novelty silk crepe, are very
simple. most of the trimming being the
metallic embroidery from the elbow to
wrist of the full, bloused, sleeves. Col
lars follow the scarf, tie, or jabot
styles, and often bear embroidered
motifs to match the design on the
sleeves.
Being made the goat is to have
suddenly come into fashion, for goat
skin is the very latest rage for fur
sports coats. Gray goat coats. lined
with gray, green or red kasha cloth
and landings of the kasha inserted
in the star ling collar and deep cuffs
are three-quarter length, il they follow
the most recent mandates from Paris.
