Brown Smart
For Autumn
Outfits
BY WILMA LA VILE

Brown Is the second color in
Importance for fall. Black is
first, as it nearly always Is,
and this year q dark rich choc-
olate brown viii have second
place, according to fashion au-
thorities. Already Washington
stores are bringing in smart
fall frockS. AS you might ex-
pect, if you count them, most
of them are in black with
brown second.
We are sketching two today
from a Washington store that
represents a stunning color
combination, brown with pink.
This is a grayed pink which
when it is next to brown has q
mauve cast. The combination
is very soft and flattering and
will make q frock becoming to
almost anybody.
Both these frocks are Paris
copies. One has a coat effect
and is after Patou. Incident
ally the shade Of brown Is one
that is sponsored by this same
designer and is called Patou
brown. The pink in this case
is satin, though the dress is
dull silk crepe. The scalloped
edges are individual, therefore
important, and the dress is
fitted gracefully by scanning.
Lelong created the original Of
the other dress which is 40
table for its bolero and the in
tricate cutting Of the skirt
which suggests a tunic. You
can't imagine how smart this
frock is unless you put 1t on.
It also is of q rich dark brown
and the pink has the same
mauve cast. Both pink and
brown are Of dull silk crepe.
Brown accessories. Of course.
will be best with both these
frocks. They will be particu'
larly smart for early fall, worn
with a fox scarf, blue fox. per.
haps, which is about the same
color. Later on they will go
well under brown cloth coat
or a fur coat.

Four Popular Types

There are at least four Of
these comfortable chairs that
you've seen time and again in
mfort-knowing living rooms.
And you're going to keep right
on seeing them. More and more
Of them.
Because the check.ups we're
constantly making on furniture
fashions shows these chairs to
be four Of the best-liked Of any
chairs.
One is the lounge chair. And
it's exactly that as you can
c-e in the illustration. A good
chair to lounge in. It's low to
the ground, deep and sturdy.
Wing Chair
Another is a chair that's been
in fashion over 200 years. And
any fashion must be pretty good
to last that long. It's the wing
chair, like the one sketched.
It started way back in Queen
Anne's time. It's been modern
lied, of course, to fit in with
modern living. But you can see
in the sketch the typical Queen
Anne Gabrielle legs flared back
and recessed arms.
We said the lounge chair was
q splendid chair for a man. Well
-. here's one that is lovely for
a woman. Another Queen Anne
type but without the wings.
It has the Serpentine back
that makes a charming frame
for a pretty head. The seat is
just the right height to display

NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-What's
the first thing you notice in
faShion-knowing living rooms
latter one quick glance to see
the general scheme Of decora-
tion)? What's q living room
for. anyway?
The answer to that is: Com
fort. Comfort first and last.
The fashionable living room
knows it, too. And that's why
you'll find In 1t the kinds Of
chairs that are comfortable.
They're chairs to come home
from the office to. And to read
the papcrs in. Chairs to sink
into with O sigh Of relief after
the youngsters are put to bed.
Chairs that the casual guest
hates to leave.
Fashionable chairs are built
for ease. They neither hold your
back stiff as ramrod L. =. nor
twist your spine into tortured
curleycues.
They neither thrust your
knees at q heaven-bent angle
nor leave your tip-toes cropping
for the floor.
They don't smother you with
their surrounding depths. Nor
do they leave you perched pre-
cariously on O slippery slope.
Fashionable chairs this fall
are just right! They're exactly
low enough. Their backs are at
exactly the right comfortable
angle. Their seats are deep and
soft enough but not too
much 50.
