w Mother Walrus. "Yes, we'll let
them know about us"
Billie Brownie was wearing his
warm, warm coat which Old Man Win
ter had given him. 1t was made out Of
the same material that Old Man Win
ter had his wardrobe made of, for no
matter how cold it is, it is never too
cold for Old Man Winter.
He Is protected from the cold by his
regular winter clothing! But he won't
tell anyone just how it is made.
And Billie was wearing the shoes
and the cap and the earmuffs Old Man
Winter had given him, too.

"velvet season" is surely upon us. The
new velvets are marvelously textured,
being supple and almost as sheer as
chiffon. In fact they are variously
called sheer velvet, transparent vel
vet, also georgette velvet.
Black velvet fashioned along youth
full lines is the mode of the hour for
the debutante and her younger sister.
However, for those who are inclined
to color, the new autumn satins and
velvets are revelation Of color
beauty.
There Is whole range Of leaf
browns brought out this season which
are unusually attractive There is a
tendency toward wine tones, too, and
many delightful shades of blue. Beige
and green are also included. in the
list of favored colors.
