not by padding but by good tailoring
handiwork depending upon the sturdy
American figure to give q foundation
for it's robust appearance.
Then still maintaining it's popularity
is the double-breasted suit. Up until
a year ago the double-breasted jacket
was an outsider. Then it came back
and has been coming back stronger
for the last two seasons. This fall 1t
still has a firm grip on the good
dressers and even the school boys have
taken up the style in preference to all
ether models.
Blues Remain Popular
Whether it was the popularity for
blue fabrics that made the double
breasted desired or whether it was
the double breasted that created the
strength OF blues fabrics is not known,
but these two factors go so we'll to-
gether and became popular at about
the same time and they both cling te-
naciously in favor for the fall and
winter seasons.
That is why all sorts of blue cloths
are having their day. There are the
regulation blue serges. but the more
distinctive weaves are the most
wanted. These are the unsheared
cheviots, wide-awale weaves. diamond,
diagonal. pineapple, herringbone and
tirds-eye effects.
But not all the double breas ted
suits are blue. Fancy effects are IN
troduced with these double-breasted
models and in both the double-breast-
eds and the single-breaste sack tans
browns and greys lead the color
scheme with their relative prominence
in the order quoted here.
Grays Also in Good Taste
GreyS were so extraordinarily
popular during the summer, especial
ly with the young men that they are
expected to hold over this fall in the
young mems styles but the new trend
as a compromise to the fellow that
something different and up to date
each season will find tans and browns
are most variously shown.
Vests are cut higher in sympathy

In the fall a woman's fancy lightly
turns to thoughts Of fur. Long be-
fore the first tang of cold weather
is felt, milady wears her fur neck
piece on either a dress or suit. This
season silver fox holds first place
among neckpieces. Nothing is more
1attering than this solf black pelt
always giving to it's wearer decided
air of chic.
Pointed foxes come next In popu-
larity. followed by Russian or Hud-
son Bay sables and stone martens
Because Of the small size of the
martens and sables, 1t Is necessary
to use two or three animals to make
up a distinctive looking scarf. They
have not changed much in style
from previous seasons. They re-
main crossed in the back, and the
loose ends can be fastened around
the neck, in accordance with the
wearer's fancy.
Smart Sport Fur Coats
Then. we feel the tingle Of the
colder DAYS. and we remember that
we must have a snappy looking fur
sports coat for the next football
game. This season, the sport coats
tend toward strictly tailored straight
line effects. with small standing mill
tarv collars and straight sleeves
They are forty-three . to forty-five
inches in length, and mostly all have
slit or pouch pockets lined In
chamois.
We, who suffer so with cold hands
can readily understand what boor
these pockets will be. In these coats
a wide assortment of the harder
furs are used. such as raecoon

breasted vests have the call even in
the suits that have double-breasted
coats. Both the lapel vest and lapelless
vests are shown
Trousers remain fairly wide. but
not as wide as shown during the past
few seasons. They are more shapely
in leg formation and nearly all trou-
sers have cuffs.
Topcoats Mostly Tubular
There is not much difference be-
tween the styling of the topcoats and
overcoats. A matter of the weight OF
the cloth and the character of the
weaves are the main distinguishing
features.
The tubular effect is still the coat
with Just a shade more body lines
than heretofore. The overcoat models
are a bit longer. ranging from As to So
inches in length. These coats are for
the most part plain backs although
there is shown a modified ulsterette
with a half belt but long and tubular
shaped in its general lines.
The next ranking coat in style cal

has broader lapels, more accumulated
waist and just a suggestion of fare

Chesterfield Coat Modified &.
Another coat that is quite strong
with the conservative dresser is a
modified Chesterfield. This coat Is a
bit longer than the regulation Chester
field but its other characteristics are
pretty much the same.
There are a variety of models. Some
have the velvet collar; some have the
self collar. Some are single-brea sted
button-through some are double
breasted button-through and some are
single breasted fly-front. Blue and
black fabrics have the call in this type
of coat.
The range of fabric weaves Is wide
for this winter. Heavy tweeds, chew
lots. Banockburns, Scotches. Shet-
lands, Meltons. Kerseys. Beavers,
Friezes, Montagnacs. Chinchillas and
numerous novelty weaves are shown
in the types of coats described above
with the heavier and roughcr cloths

SALARY OF $150,000
NOT ASKED BY RUTH

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October 12.-Babe
Ruth may or may not make a demand
for $3.50 900 a year as his salary for
cavorting about in right field for the
New York Yankees in the future, bu,
if he does, the demand is already re
fused.
HE won't get it," Col. Jacob Rup
pert, one of the owners Of the club
said. when asked if the Bambino hao
asked for such a sum. THE Babe
has said nothing to me about next
years contract and it is preposterous
for any one to say that he is demand

Babe said that he was not anxious
to discuss terms with the Yankee
mana cement now and ridiculed re

sum.

The only player who badly upset
the dope was Slugging Bob Meusel,

normally almost as much of men,

the Yankees could have carried even

of his team, he failed to drive In a
single run in seven games.
Despite the fact that Ruth walked
IL times and hit 2 singles, in addi'
ton to his home runs, the Babe
scored only runs. The fault was
with Meusel, who fell down repeated
ly in the pinches, particularly in the
seventh game.
Injury Handicapped Meusel.
In Justice to Meusel, it must be
said that he never was the same
player after he broke a leg in late
June. an injury which kept him out
of Higgins lineup for two months.
Prior to that injury, Meusel was play
ing the greatest game in his life. But
