Wool Frocks Worn for
Warmth and for Style

Previous seasons have been notable
for the preponderance of silk frocks
which when The weather necessitated,
early or late, were worn beneath the
fur coat. Since all fashions must bend
to the laws of change, the silk frock
and fur wrap combination may be
slightly displaced by wooen ensembles
before the more severe weather ar
rives. 1t would seem that the cou-
turier had grown a trhe weary of
wrapping milady in silk and fur. Per
haps that is why it is so extremely
fashionable to appear attired in a
modish costume of wool.
Sports frocSs of light weight
wooens are agreeably cosy to wear
under the cloth sports coat.
A two-pece dress Of tweed bordered
and patterned in a dot theme is one
example of the decreed mode for in
formal wear. Printed jersey Is chic
when in plaid design The back
ground of one model is of pale green
and the plaid Of two darker shades
and black.

AUTO ACCIDENTS. AND
CHILDREN
DIR FREDERICK II. GREEN
Editor of "HEALTH"

II LIE most dangerous place for chit
dren, as far as aufomohile acci-
dents are concerned, is in front OF
their own homes. The most danger
Gus hour of the day is from 5 to 6 D.
m. These results are shown by Miss
Marion Telford of the National Safety
council, Miss Telford, cooperating
with the board of education and the
police department Of Chicago, made a
careful survey of automobile accidents
to children. In investigating 1876 cases
in which children were injured, she
found that COS Of these accidents took
place during hours when the children
were not in school and were not go
ing to or from school. The most dan
gerous hour was from to 6 p. IN.
when 105 out of the 735 accidents oc-
Cured. The most dangerous month
was August when the children are not
in school. The majority of the chill
dren injured were run down by autos
in front of their own homes. Half
Of the accidents occurred within a
block of their homes, two-thirds were
no farther away than the next block,
and three-fourths were within two
blocks.
These facts are not accidental.
From . to p. m. is the hour when
most children are out for their last
play for the day. In all except the
summer months 1t is the haziest hour
Of the day when twilight is falling.
The child is tired and his sight and
hearing are not so keen. He Is not
as alert physically or mentally as he
was In the morning.
But why should most of these ac-
cidents take place near his own home
where he Is best acquainted and ought
to be the safest. or the very reason
that he Is best acquainted with his
surroundings and consequently Is not
so cautious. A child in a strange
street is in new territory. He is on
the alert. But in front of his own
home or on his own block he feels
safe. He knows every tree, every
lamp post, every paving stone. Moth
ing can hurt him there. So he is not
so careful, takes greater chances,
doesn't watch out so carefully.
More slx-year-old children were
struck than any other age. Here again
there is reason. The six-year-old is
big enough to run round as freely as
other older children. But he hasn't
yet learned how or when to protect
himself. He can't judge distance or
speed as well as older children. He
can't act as quickly in an emergency.
In Chicago as in many other cities,
the larger boys In the school have
been organized into junior patrols to
watch the younger children and guide
them across the dangerous streets
near the school houses. But after
four o'clock and near their homes,
there are no patrols.

An attractive powder puff with the
top or handle made after the ballet
dancer design has now appeared in
new rubberized wax, tinted and paint
ed in lifelike manner. The puff may
be of marabou i'll white or pastel
shades Containers for holding the
powder are supplied, although many
persons use an ordinary powder box,
since this puff is fluffy enough to con-
ceHl any unattractive part Of the card
board. Because of its rubberized ma
terial, the puff may be dropped with
out fear Of breaking. For the sake Of
novelty its head and arms are free to
move in any direction.
A new box from Paris designed for
holiday use is being shown now. 1t
comes in three tiers, each one at
tached to the other by small brace

the other two parts, although all three
may be used at the same time. They
are covered with metallic brocades in

For the dressing table or top Of q
dresser there is a new tray set made
of imitation or real stone in natural

oval and bordered with low rims. At
one side is a swivel mirror supported
between two slender glass posts with
ends studded with jewels. 1t is
mounted in a frame that matches the
border Of the tray. The other objects
consist of a large bottle with jeweled
