VIEWS AND GOSSIP SOCIETY IN THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
What's in Fashion?
Becoming Coats for Girls
Directed by AMOS PARRISH

NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-LittIe
girls coats have gone modern.
Which only means they've
stepped into line in the modern
parade of greater individuality,
greater attention to costume de-
tails.
These youngster trotting off
to school or church or parties
this fall don't look like French
dolls or roly-poly Teddy Bears
or anything else except what
they really are pocket edi-
tions Of their smart elders.
There's a flare to their skirts
and q swagger to their shoul-
ders. But there's nothing that
looks "over-dreSsed."
The lines and details Of their
coats are grown-ups' lines and
details-rnodified to keep them
appropriate for youth.
Waistline Marked
For instance e-they have
waistlines this fall-as a human
being should. But they're just
slightly lower than the normal
waistline where the grown-up
wears her coat belt.
For the simple reason that
growing, not-quite-developed fig
ures look better with the belt at
this slightly lower point.
The fur collars that frame
these piquant, youthful faces
as fur collars frame smart adult
face-aren't quite such large
collars. Not even quite as large
in proportion. Because young
heads are smaller :. and a
smaller picture needs a smalled
frame.
Sturdy Furs
Nor are these furs the more
luxurious ones of Mothers and
Big Sisters coat. They're the
sturdier versions Of fur-be-
cause they're due for harder
wear.
But these small coats have
many Of the details Of larger
coats. The details that give
them q greater formality.
Occasional fitted lines. Belts.
Flares. Seamings that add to
the decorative effect. Buttons
placed for decoration as well as
use.
To match the grown-ups' polo
coat, there are soft, light
cameps hair and alpaca for the
girls. Made like a polo coat
with notched lapels, raglan
shoulder and pockets-as you
can see in the left-hand sketch.
And these are newest when
they are fur-collared.
Tweed Coats
To match the grown-ups'
tweed coat, little girls will wear
tweed too. With shorter shawl
collars Of raccoon, lapin, nutria,
opoSsum or krimmer. Often
you'l see these with a beret to
match.
And for more formal wear
there are smoother, plaincol-
ored woolenS dull luS
tered like the broadcloth or
suede cloth that grown ups
wear.
Plain fabric cuffs are more
in fashion for small girls than
fur cuffS-because they're more
practical. But there are many
fur cuffs, too usually set
well back on the sleeve where

Wool FrOCkS
Are Popular
This Fall
BY WILMA LA VILE

Why are the new wool frocks
SO popular, you may ask. There
are many reasons, chief among
them the fact that they really
look so smart and deserve the
favor that everybody is giving
them. First Of all their textures
are so very interesting. This
season brings out many weaves,
from smooth wooden georgette
to wool lace. These new laces
of wooden are made in several
ways. On ground Of georgette,
on cotton lace. and in other
manners as interesting. Then
we have such fabrics as "Mer-
ita" which shows it's crepey
weave decidedly. There are
tweeds in thousands of different
weaves, some of them sheer
and lacy. Some of the weaves
are so open that they have
scarcely any warmth, so that
the dresses will do to wear
even In a heated house.
The colors in woolens always
seem so lovely too. This year
the reds, green's and other tones
are simply fascinating. These
colors harmonic. so well with
dark coats such as black and
brown, and give life to your
winter wardrobe.
OF course voluems could be
written about the cut and lines
Of these frockS, but it is Suf-
ficient to say that they are
very individual and use every
possible device to add to their
attractiveness. Some of them
are trimmed with bits of fur.
Others have white collars and
cuffs.
The wool lace frock that we
are sketching today is exceed
ingly smart. The material is
imported and it's In rich
dark green. The belt is Of
suede and is fastened by a bril-
liant rhinestone buckle. The
other frock is of brown "Mer-
ita." It has two. popular de.
vices. a bolero and peplum. The
banding is of fur cloth and the
dress is most attractive. It is
moderately priced.
Miss LaVille will gladly an
swer any question about these
dresses or about fashion ii you
will telephone District $3.50, ex.

FASHION FLASHES
BY Anne Anglin-

Youth flames when parents
choose unsuitable or ungainly
garments for their youngsters.
Any girl would gladly go to a
party If she could wear an
ankle.length frock of pale pink
mousSeline de sole with small
blue flower embroidery. The
sash is of pink and blue velvet
ribbon and short puffed sleeves
and a TERED skirt are other
youthful details.
Sleeves are on the dinner
menu, Sartorially speaking, Of
course. Ardanse has made a
dinner dress Of purplish-blue
chiffon with a panel-tiered
skirt. It has a round neckline
and long tight. sleeves with
elbow-length cuffs heavily en-
broidered with silver beads.

not to be kept in corrals. 1t
is planned to continue the
chases until March Is.
The sport, as explained by
Captain Larrabee, consists IN

planned to have the season
coincide with the fox-hunting
months. although the first stag
chase will be delayed this year.
The new sport does not vio-

when not being hunted, are
The Washington times., 1930-09-22

at predetermined point the
stag is released and given
about 80 minutes "law." When
this time has elapsed the
hounds are released and al
time, but it is the ultimate goal
of the hunters, as it is the
aim to have the drag end at
approximately the same place
and near home, convenient for
the hunt breakfast.
Stag hunting will be much
faster than venery, and it is not
likely that the same type Of
hounds can be used for both
sports. A further difficulty is
that the stronger scent Of the
deer may render the pack unfit
for picking UP foxes later.
In England stag hunting is
almost as popular in some sec
tions as fox hunting, and the
sight of the black, covered vans
used to cart the stays about Is
familiar to the countryside.
Some of the packs have chased
the same deer so often that
they are on the friendliest
terms, and once the stag has
had enough and is at bay the
hounds are quite content to lie
down and wait for the van to
arrive.
Faster Sport
Nevertheless. the brisk pace
necessary to keep the hounds
in sight should make this
imported sport extremely popu-
lar, and the varying courses
selected by the running stag
will provide a pleasant relaxa-
ton from following a well
known drag course. 1t may not
be as exciting, perhaps, as put
ting up a live fox. but at least
there is the certainty Of a run.

Introduce
New Hunt
Capt. Sterling Larrabee to In
auCurate Following the
Stag in Virginia

Members Of the /" down In
Virglnia" hunting set are
much interested in a new
pastime, following q carted
stag, after the English GUS
tom, which will be inaugu-
rated by Capt. Sterling Lar
rabse, If he is granted per-
mission to keep imported
red deer In captivity.
Captain Larrabee Is the
son Of Brig. Gen. and Mrs.
Sterling Larratee, whose
estate In Warrenton il one
Of the most attractive in
the Blue Grass section Of
Virginia. They have many
friends in Washington, al
though they prefer spend
ing most Of their time en-
joying, what has come to be,
Bnglish country life there. :
Pleasant Relief
Captain Larrabee hunts his
own pack Of hounds over some
10000 acres of registered terri
tory and Is convinced that stag
hunting will prove q pleasant
relief from chasing a fox.
Several deer are now on their
lowed to find the scent. which
Is much stronger than that Of
the fox, and there follows an
exciting chase of some eight
or ten miles.
When the stag tires he goes
to bay, either In q pool or in
the corner Of q fence, Tending
off the hounds until the hunts
men arrive to pick up the
pack. The cart Is sent for
again and the deer is returned
to his park, none the worse
Tor a brisk workout.
Trained to Return :.
In England the deer often
are trained to return to their
corrals and need only to be
carted home in case they lose
their way or become too tired.
It is not expected that this will
be possible over here for some

The Washington College Of Music
presented faculty program in the coll
lege recital rooms last night. The
artists were Sara Becker. pianist. and
Rome Guaraldi baritone. They gave
works OF merit with notable points OF
excellence during the evening.
The classics were pianisticallv nor
trayed by Miss Becker in Bach's
Prelude in B-Flat" and Mozart,s Gan
taiSie In D-Minor." Mr.. Guaraldi did
likewise vocally with "Se Vuol BaIiare :"
by Mozart; Hear Me. We Winds and

ARDS set by tradition were adequately
measured up to by both artists.

faithful and capable service, gradually
rise over years of service by promotion
to higher average salaries.
The President made the declaration
in this connection that this class of
employees are so badly penalized under
the terms of the Dale plan that In his
opinion they would be better off If they
took the 312 per cent assessed against
them for their annuity, and deposited
1t in a savings bank.
The Presidents frank discussion OF
this subject and his unmistakable ap-
proval of the Lehlbach plan followed
closely upon the heels of the action
yesterday afternoon of Representative
Lehlbach in withdrawing his plan as a
result of overwhelming opposition in the
civil service committee of the House
The Presidents statement is thought to
have been made without consulting Mr.
Lehlbach, although the latter had rea-
son to know the Presidents views fol-
lowing a long talk they had together
upon the subject earlier in the week.
The impression is that the opposition
in the committee to the Lehlbach plan
inspired the President to speak out in
its favor and in opposition to the Dale
bill.
Presidents Statement.
The President expressed himself re-
garding the retirement question in the
following manner:
There has been good deal of dis
cussion about the Dale bill for liberali-
zation of the civil service employees re-
tirement act.
ct have been anxious to secure a
proper readjustment Of the civil service
retirement funds, and my attention has
been called to certain injustices in the
Dale bill by the various departments of
the Government. The plan in the Dale
bill presents the same difficulties to me
that it presented to my predecessor;
that is, the great injustice to those en-
ployeS who, as the result of faithful
and capable service, gradually rise over
a period of years by promotion into
higher average salaries. They are badly
penaliZed under that arrangement and
the penalties are so large that it would
be better for those employees If they took
their 3la per cent and deposited it in
savings bank. In other words, the
Government contributes nothing and
actually penalties them for their indus
try and faithfulnesS by taking part of
their savings.
1.-THE Lehlbach plan puts no penalties
upon the lower grades, in fact, some of
them are actually improved. The Lehl-
bach plan will require something moro
from the public treasury. But think
the Government should be willing to
meet this increase. I feel that there
are serious injustices to be corrected
am not concerned with any one plan
so long as the annuities are in proper
proportion to the contributions made
by the Government employees.
II think it is desirable to make that
clear to the Government employees"
The President expressed himself in
this manner with considerable feeling
but no intimation was given by him
as to whether he will take any further
part in the framing of a liberalization
plan.
