CHAPTER VI.
Outward Bound.

Sally turned to Myra almost wildly.
For the first time in their relationship,
she was openly defiant. Usually she
was subservient to Myra, whose per-
sonality was stronger. but now. as
Myra stared at her disheveled little
sister she glimpsed a quality of
strength that filled her with a vague
uncertainty.
Was Sally going to be untraetable
on this trip? Was her hold on the
child just a little less powerful than
she had thought?
She decided to laugh it off.
Don't take things so seriously,
darling. Come on down to the state
room and put some powder on your
nose. Where's your sense or humOr!

Advantages of the Suit Costume
BY MARY MARSHALL.

All these ready assembled cos
tunes are desirable acquisitions to
the wardrobe at this time-whether
for the woman who can buy but one
daytime costume for Spring or the
woman who has many. An effect of
smart continuity is derived from one
of these costumes that-cannot be Sc
cured from the separately chosen
froclS and coat. And for the busy
woman who has only a limited
amount of time to spend in the Sc
lection of her clothes there is COM
fort to be gained in a costume ready
assembled.
One of the shops has been selling
three-piece tailored suits with the
long top coat to match--the three
pieces costing less than a hundred
dollars. The suit worn with the top
coat makes a trim costume for cooler
Spring days and for travel or motor
wear throughout the Spring and
Summer. The skirt and jacket with
a jumper or blouse beneath are ap-
propriate for warmer Spring days
and the lightweight long coat made
on severely tailored lines may be
worn whenever a serviceable
coat is needed.

HOME NOTES
BY JENNY WREN.

Spring draws nearer every day. and
already home making hearts are PLAN
ming new and delightful ways to COM
bine the enjoyment of their homes
with the enjoyment of out-of- doors.
One suggestion for increasing the
pleasure in your home and adding to
its good appearance is to arrange such

fabrics that willow does in furniture
If correctly used 1t can chime in with
several different styles of furnishings.
1t should not be used in rooms fur
nished in exquisite silks, satins and
brocades, however.
Fabric of Distinction.
Among the many upholstery fabrics
we shall discuss is mohair, which is
held in high favor. 1t has sickness
that is delightful 1t has good wear
ing qualities. 1t comes in an amazing
assortment of designs and in practi-
cally all colorings. There are fine
all.over patterns, lattices and larger
diamond designs; there are brocades
of choice patterns; there are satin
effects, and even needlepoint embroid-
cred chair seats and backs, to say
nothing of the many fancy weaves
that tickle the fancy. Some of the
mohairs have genuine gros-point en-
broidery and others have replicas.
There are many Jacobean designs also.
These are in line with the needlepoint
upholstery of bygone days that was
done on materials with a luster. and
even on horsehair, making it possible
to omit the filling in of the design.
The fabric was sufficiently interesting
true today of the mohairs.
Embroidering Upholstery.
Women who are deft with their
needles can embroider their own chair
seats and backs on mohair. AS the
work can be done broadly, it need
take no longer than other fancy work.
1t transforms the fabric into one of
the most exclusive kinds Tapestry
woods should be used, for these are
harder twisted than the usual worsteds
and will outlast them, as the antique
needlepoint fabrics demonstrate.
Contrasting Upholstery.
1t is modish to have chair seats
contrast with the rest of the cover
ing. Embroidered or patterned ma.
terial seats may have all the rest of
the chair of plain goods. The central
cushion and the back portion of
davenports are often done In pat
termed goods with the rest plain. The
plain material is used in larger pro-
portions than the figured when com.
bination fabrics are employed.

Selecting the right upholstery fabric
for new or old upholstered furniture
is a matter requiring careful attention.
There are so many points that have
to be considered. The material should
wear we'll since the cost of covering
the pieces is almost, if not quite, as
much as the price of the fabric. Many
times the work far exceeds the cost
of the material. So it is eNtravagant
not to have 1t of good wearing quality.
Then there is the color that must be
right to go with the other furniture
In these days it is not necessary to
have fabric on furniture match. but
unity that is convincing. though there
is no exact duplication of material.
1t is amazing how fashion changes
our ideas. Once it was considered the
height of good taste to have large
suites of furniture with all pieces
done alike, especially for ''parlors.
Now it is just the reverse. To have
all the pieces done in the identical
upholstery fabric is thought mo-
notonous,- as indeed it is.
Economical Fashion.
The modern fashion plays into the
for it is possible to have chairs, etc.,
done over as required instead of all
being recovered at the same time lest
the fabric fail to match. However,
this increases the responsibility of
selection of materials. The question
arises each time a piece has to be
covered, will this material that we
like harmonic well with what we
already have?"
Points of Materials.
Besides colors being in accord, ma
terials must be on somewhat the same
order. For instance, satins, brocades.
silks and silky mixtures all accord
finely. Tapestries, mohairs, velours
and wool fabrics make another good
combination. Cottons and linens as
found in cretonnes and printed linens
are good together. Sateens under va
rious names are very popular. but
must be used with discrimination.
These are smart" coverings without
being really rich. They take some
what the same place among upholstery

The seat offers an inviting place for
the woman of the house to sit down

ENROLMENT IN
 SCHOOL GROWS
Total at End of First Week Was 5l0-Every Grade
 Shows an Increase

At the end of the first full week of school, the local Public School enrolment had reached 510, F more than was reported for open ing day, it was announced today by Supt. w. K. Keller. At the same time last year the enroll ment was 446.
 Not a. single grade shows a loss from last year, Supt. Keller said. While the eighth grade this year with 3S pupils is one less than the eighth grade last year, it corresponds with the sevent, grade of last year in which only 32 were enrolled.
 By grades the enrolment yes terday follows: Kindergarten 30, as compared to 26 last year; first grade 52 and 45; second grade, 53. 52; third grade, 51, 51; fourth grade, 49. 34; fifth grade AZ. AZ; sixth grade, AZ, 32; seventh grade. 37, 32; eighth grade 3S, 39 high school, 116, 93.

|COSCRAvE ASKS FOR CLEAR CUT DECISION TODAY
Irish Election in Progress and President Asks for
 Undiluted Majority

DUBLIN, Sept. 14.-The various Irish constituencies are voting for members of the Dail, tue Irish Free State Parliament, to. day throughout the Nation. While various parties have candidates for the suffrage of the voters, the contest is much more of a duel between President Cosgrave and his Government on the one side and Ramon De Valera and his Fianna Fail on the other than was the case in the election last spring.
 In closing the campaign last night, President Cosgrave appeal ed to the electors for clear decision. It declared that it is necessary for the welfare of the country. He declared that the fate of the Irish Free State was the issue, and the opponents of the Constitution had rejected free dom because they had not framed it themselves.
 In the last election there were seven parties represented in the election-five of them favorable to the Free State and two-the Fianna Fail and Sim Fein = against it. Those supporting the Free State were the Government, Farmer, Independent. Labor ana Nationalist.
 The provision in the Constitu- tion for minority representation makes the results, as far as party representation are concern ed uncertain. President Cosgrave, however. hopes to secure work. ing majority for the Government Party. which had only few more members than the Fianna Fail in the Dali recently dissolved by Lieut.-Gov. Healy at the re. quest of President Cosgrave.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.-Pro- lessor H. A. L. Fisher, Warden of New College, Oxford. England resented statements attributed to him in this country detrimental to Rhodes scholars, in letter received today by John Tigert, Commissioner of Education.
 Professor Fisher had beer quoted as saying that President Aydelotte, of Swarthmore, is the only Rhodes scholar who has be- come an international figure.

"I am extremely annoyed by the para graphs which appear to have been printed in various papers of the U. s. A. They have not my author. ity and so far as I can see they represent opinions almost exactly
 
 the reverse of those hold"
 Commissioner Tigert, himself a Rhodes scholar, believes that group has justified itself,
