At an informal supper Of this

VELVET FOR THE WEE TOT

Youngsters borrow every
smart detail from the grown-up
mode, even to the fabrics with
which their frocks are fash
ioned. Design 1647 is an ador-
able little model developed in
velvet. Tiny tucks at the shoul-
ders give ample fullness to the
frock. The sleeves are long,
although the pattern is notched
for short sleeves if desired, and
the collar is fastened close to
the neck.
This little style is simply raw
ishing made of brown velvet
and trimmed with tan satin col
lar, cuffs and pocket. A bow
of picoted tan ribbon adds
dainty touch. Most any youth
full fabric will fashion this cum
ming frock, but for best, the
little lady will adore velvet.
May be obtained only in sizes
2, 4, and 8.
Size 4 requires 2% yards 40
inch material and Il yard 36-
inch trimming.
This model is easy to make.
No dressmaking experience is
necessary. Each pattern comes
to you with simple and exact
instructions, including yardage
for every size. A perfect fit is
guaranteed.
Patterns will be delivered up
on receipt of FIFTEEN CENTS

FANCIES

The sporting gal can do no better
than encase her head in a knitted
sports cap which threatens to be-
come as popular as the mesh caps
for evening. The caps match the
sweaters with which they are worn.
and resemble a helmet in shape.
Sometimes they display a trick de-
sign in front.
Giving us all quite a shock. A
new material greatly resembling
black broadtail fur is used extern
sively for suits and dresses. One
novel adaptation was a complete
dress of this fur-like material worn
with a coat of cheviot with the
fur of the dress repeated in the
revers and polka dots.
Infringing on the daytime mode,
an evening gowD of white satin
has the added attraction of a scarf
of dark brown fur. 1t is absolutely
straight piece. about four inches
deep and two feet in length. Worn
around the neck in the usual man
ner, the two ends swing loose.
A new light Is thrown on the
fur coat situation with the use of
fabric as trimming. A coat of
gray goat skin has tweed of the
same shade around the belt line,
on the revers and the edges. This
fabric trimming creates the always
desirable tailored line.

The bride is to wear a veil. Kindly
tell me just what TO wear, as there
will be a reception at a hotel I'M.

MADGE
A s o'clock wedding is an
abomination. It is neither fish,
flesh nor fowl, but evening dress
is the closest to the proper thing
to wear. At some churches notably
the Roman Catholic hat is re-
quired, but this can be laid aside
at the reception. The sending of
a wedding present is optional. II
is not necessary to send gift,
but it is graceful bit Of atten-
ton to the bride.
