Goats and Other Clothes
for Woman Who Is Stout

winter coats, at best, are heavy,
thick things that make one look as
broad as one is long" you can hear
too-plump woman sigh as she makes
her way into the stylish stouts" sec
ton.
But here she finds, to her relief, that
there are coats much less cumbersome
than she had imagined. In fact, if she
Is wise in her selection, she may be
quite as "willowy'' in her winter coat
as she was in some one-piece summer
time connection.
The first thing the stout woman
should consider in choosing her winter
coat is line. Since she needs to add
height, instead of breadth, to her fig
ure, a long coat should be satisfactory
from more than one point Of view.
The short, "boxy" jacket which SO gra-
ciously fills out the thin woman's
spare figure does disastrous things to
the short, stout woman's lines. How
ever, the coat should be fairly loose,
especially over the hips If they have
any tendency to be too prominent.
The stout woman's coat should be
rather plain, and whatever ornamental
ton it does have should be perpendicu-
lar in line. Horizontal effects are to
be avoided throughout; and the
straight up and down effect" every
plump woman loves can be achieved
by the cut of the coat itself, as well
as by th1 trimming. Plaits and over
fullness, for instance. are to be avoided.
And V-shaped neckline is slenderiz-
Ing. The belress coat seems especially
designed for the stout woman, since
any belt at all, no matter how happily
it is placed, tends to cut her height
and to broaden her figure.
Sleeves are an important considera.
ton. Never should they border on the
full, leg-o'-mutton type, regardless Of
style. The longer and more slender
they are In effect, the better. The
sleeves should either be quite without
ornament or they should have only q
little braiding, or similar trim, applied
In up-and-down effect.
The stout woman should remember
this general rule as she selects her
winter coat: Any part Of the figure
that Is too prominent should not be
accentuated by ornamentation. The
correctly proportioned part, rather
should be brought into prominence and
the others subdued.

In The World of Fashion
Tur1ic Is Popular
Style of Season
Outfit Adapted to Tailored
Mode as Well as to Eve
ming Clothes

Whether it is part of an ensemble
costume or is separate garment, the
tunic is unquestionably one of the
most important fashion features Of the
present season, asserts a fashion
writer in the Kansas City Star. And
its vogue is not surprising, since its
possibilities are infinite and ii Is con-
fined to no special material or to any
particular costume. One sees it adapt
ed to the tailored mode as well as to
the fashions for evening wear.
With the advent Of cool days the
tunic Of kasha has made its appear
ance. and 1t Is ideal for street wear.
AS rule the foundation Is made Of
black satin, but occasionally a few
inches of velvet show below the hem
Of the tunic.
When velvet is employed it is also
used as a trimming on the tunic. An
interesting model to exploit this COM
bination Of materials Is one that has a
tunic Of black kasha trimmed with mar
row bands Of French blue velvet and
worn over a foundation slip bordered
with velvet.
Beige and brown are shades which
have a special affinity for each other
and are especially effective when there
IL a contrast OF texture as well as Of
color. "A striking instance Of the charm
Of these colors when combined is
shown in an attractive model. A pima
fore tunic of beige kasha opens over a
slip of brown satin. Narrow bands Of
satin embroidered in gold trim the
sleeves and pocket. With this is worn
one Of the new hats Of brown satin
simply trimmed with loops of ribbon.
AT the moment school and college
girls fashions hold the center of the
fashion stage and in their combination
of practical qualities allied to an un-
obtrusive but youthful smartness they
are appropriate to the years and to the
status of their wearers.
Nothing has yet been designed that
quite takes the place Of beautifully
made, smartly cut frock Of navy blue
twill or serge whose simplicity is as
artful as it is intriguing. This year
there are a number of new versions Of
this old favorite, each one distin-
guished by details Of marked lndividu-
atty. Bits Of bright color are cleverly
introduced, tiny metal buttons are
skillfully employed, a feminine dainti-
ness is added by finishing neck and
sleeves with collars and cuffs Of lin
gerie and lace, and boyish aspect is
given by scarfs and ties Of plaid or
gayly striped silk.
Next to the navy blue frock In popu-
larity comes the plaid dress, which
seems destined for a decided vogue
and which is especially adapted to the
needs of the school and college girl.

Accessories Can Make
or Mar Chic Costume

"A lady is known" goes the old say
ing, "by her shoes and her pocket
handkerchief" And certainly care in
buying the accessories of dress does,
to very great extent. insure a we'll
groomed appearance, says writer In
the Kansas City Star.
Care in buying accessories does not
mean the expenditure Of much time,
money and energy in selecting all the
gewgaws with which one can load
oneself. Indeed the old rule for
achieving a addressed appearance Is
still apropos-"Go TO the mirror after
you are dressed and see what you can
take off," Accommodating, gloves,
fans, handkerchiefs, beads, bracelets,
veils-may be counted upon either to
add much to or detract much from the
general effect; they are seldom neu-
trail. So they must be tastefully Sc
lected, and, above all, they must not be
Unfortunately worn.
Now, hat is such an important adj
more than a mere accessory. 1t is i'm
portant both as a frame to the face
and in its relationship to the rest Of
the costume. If you wear plain, tail
ored dress or suit, for instance, the
sailor hat or some other tailored shape
should be chosen. If your costume Is
more elaborate, you may allow your
self somewhat fancier headgear. In
general, 1t is well, when you select a
hat, to wear the costume with which
you intend to use it.
Wells, like hats. must be appropriate
to the costume; for, though beautiful
and becoming when happily chosen, a
veil often is out of place. The rule
which should be your guide In knowing
when you should wear veil is this:
Wear it only when there's q logical
reason for doing so, such as to add to
the beauty Of the hat, or to protect the
face. OF course, your veil can never
be attractive If 1t ID not delicate and
fresh.
Gloves, again, should be in harmony
with the rest of the costume. Do not
wear kid gloves with a lingerie dress,
or, even worse, silk gloves with furs.
Dainty handkerchiefs, too, may be
selected to match the costume, though
plain white linen handkerchiefs OF ex-
celIent quality are always In good
taste.
When It comes to beads, bracelets,
artificial flowers and the like, wear
them only when they are suitable for
the time, place and occasion and when
they add definitely to your appearance.
It is quite proper for you to buy ac-
cessories to suit every costume You
own-but it isn't proper for you to
wear them all at once.

Hints on Packing Away
Clothes and Draperies

Summer clothes and house draperies
should be stored clean and unstarched,
for starch viii cause the material to
rot.
The best plan, after white garments
or draperies are washed and well dried
Is to store them In a pillowcase or
linen bag TO keep them free from soil.
It Is a question whether inexpensive
and somewhat faded cotton frocks are
worth keeping from one season to
another. They might be cut down for
rompers and overaIIs for the children.
No gown should be stored with lace
collars the least bit soIled. Such lace
win look far more soiled when brought
to light again, and in the meantime the
dirt seems to wear In.
Powdered magnesla or fulIer's earth
win often work wonders with soiIed
lace, but the substance should be al
lowed to remain two or three days be-
fore being brushed away.
II rugs are to be put away and re-
placed by heavier articles for the win
ter remember that no rig or carpet
should ever be folded, but rolled.
The marks made BY folding carpets
and rugs, instead OF carefully rolling
them, take long time TO disappear,
and they often become permanent.

Agnes has a collection that very
much resembles her models Of last
winter, notes Paris fashion cor
respondent in the New York Herald
Tribune. The line is straight and
slim, with a judlciOus use Of the flare,
and the waistline is still low. The
long-lined cross-over corsage, dear to
the middle-aged woman of ponderous
proportions, plays large part in this
showing. Indeed, in many cases, it is
so obvious that the dress is intended
for this neglected portion Of humanity
whose existence Is practically ignored
by most of the other couturiers, that
the slender manikins look rather
ridiculous wearing them.
A new note is sounded by the sep
arate fur collars that are made TO

gowns. They are fat, six to eight
inches wide, with fur both sides, and
consist OF strands Of dyed hare OF

Observant man. Long-fngered la
dies, with tapering digits, can wear
any size or shape Of ring they like,

finger If fancy takes them, or an inch
square opal surrounded by diamonds.
While small, subdued rings may look
lost on their hands, big gems suit
them.
But for small hands, short, square
hands, or plump hands, thin bands on
gold and jewels in less fiamboyant set
tings are best. One small diamond or
pearl In a dainty setting is worth see
ing on a small hand, whereas a big
stoned ring can easily spoil the wear
er's appearance.
Another thing to consider IL the tex
ture and color Of the skin. The wom-
an whose hands are inclined to red

find that pearls sober down her skin
wonderfully, and that even a single

to the looks Of her hands.-London

THE DEATH OF JUDGE BOYD

The community feels a sense of loss
in the death Of every good man, who,
in long years Of service, has contribu-
ted much to the welfare of society by
the advancement Of justice, prudence
and sound notions of right living and
who by private and official conduct
has always discouraged wrong. This
will make every seriously minded citi-
zen of Maryland pause and reflect sad
ly on the passing of Judge A. Hunter
Boyd. Having arrived at a reason
ably ripe age Judge Boyd's official
activities ceased nearly a year ago
and the condition Of his health was
such that his friends could not hope
that he would survive many years.
Nevertheless his passing was a shock
to many who thought ne might be
spared yet a few years to continue
giving a personal reflection Of the re-
suits of an exemplary public and pri-
vatA life. Judge Boyd is gone. But.
although his career was not spec
tacGar one. the results Of his work
and the fine example he gave to his
fellows will live and have a whole
some effect in the community indef-
initely. 1t is the testomony of law-
yers that few judges in the country
studied so diligently or labored 50
hard 10 get at the right Of cases. 1t
was the observation of laymen as well
as lawyers that his decisions inyari-
ably reflected the conclusions of. a
great unselish mind that iaboriously
sought to have Justice in its simplest,
most substantial form administered tc
all. In all his long years Of service on,
the bench th7t brought him tAe high
