Welcome for
The Jumper
Dress
By WILMA LA VILE

Do you remember the jumper
dresses that we wore eight or
ten years ago? II you do, you
remember a very gracious
fashion and one that practically
everybody liked. This year we
welcome them back again In
smarter versions than we've
ever had before.
They are not only very very
attractive but they are also
practical, as they give almost
unlimited scope to your ward
robe. You can buy extra blouseS
for them or you can wear the
blouses left over from a sum-
mer Of suits. Most Of the
jumpers are dark so that most
any light blouse will harmonic.
Some Of them have cotton or
linen blouSeS so that We feel
it is quite tcorrect to carry over
our summer blouSeS for use
with them.
Knitted fabrics and woven
woolenS are the Smartest mate
rails for jumpers. They are
nearly always belted and are
cut so that they fit the figure
closely with the same lines in
general as fall dresses. Many
knitted ones are in tweed
effects or mixtures.
The plain color jumper we
are Sketching is Of black jer-
Sey with a blouse Of striped
silk. It Is accompanied by q
matching beret Of jersey with
a band like the blouse. The
other jumper is In a knitted
fabric in a mixture of black
and white. blue and white or
brown and white. It's blouse
is of white silk crepe.
They are excellent costumes
for school, business or sports
wear as they allow absolute
freedom of movement. BY all
means try one on before you
complete your fall wardrobe.

answer any fashion question If
you will write, sending a self.

What's in Fashion?
The Coat Dress
Directed by AMOS PARRISH

NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-Watch
the women you're going to see
on fashionable avenues this
month. Watch their coats par.
ticularly.
But lots Of them aren't coats
at all, are they2
You're right. They're dresses
made to look like coats! And
one of the slickest fashions
you're going to find for the in.
between, not-so-warm, not-so-
cool days.
Watch them. Neat looking,
aren't they? Smooth fitting
shoulders. Well wrapped waists.
Comfortable skirts. Good to
walk in. They're a practical
fashion, all right. And every
woman likes practical things
I" so you're going to see
lots of them.
Put on just like a coat
some of them. Instead of pulled
on over the head. (Great idea,
this. Keeps the hair from get
ting mussed)
Fastened like a coat. too. In
fact. you can even wear them
as a coat over a silk dress-if
you want to.
Others go on like any dress,
but have coat-like details. But
tons notched lapels
reverS wrapped skirts.
In the new lightweight woods
they're a joy. Because they're
plenty warm enough even for
cooliSh days. just as good in
silk, too 4" because they give
the same finished" look a coat
gives.
Good for Everyone
Anybody can wear coat
dress. They look well on any
type of: figure. But there's one
woman who's going to hail them
with loud cheers. Because every
line of them is not only becom-
ing, but actually helps her fig
ure look younger " simmer!
And that's the larger woman.
The surplice line so many Of
them have is one of the best
lines she can wear. The
wrapped skirts are SO comfort
able for her, too. She knows
the value of lapels and deep v
necklines and they are
coat-dress details.

Seven Ladies
Bear Noted
Cognonen
Readers of Society Columns
Find Various "Mrs. Wander
bits" Difficult to Place

With the name Wander
bilt" continually in the
news it is sometimes a bit
confusing to the readers of
the society columns who are
unable to distinguish be-
tween the seven socially dis
tinguished ladies who bear
this illustrious name.
Truth to tell, there is a
vast difference between the
social Importance of the
seven and even a greater
difference in their personali-
ties.
The Mrs. Vanderbilt
First, of course, there is the
dowager, Mrs. Cornelius Wander
bflt, THE Mrs. Vanderbilt, who
by right of seniority. birth and
wealth, is the recognized head
of the clan. Born Alice Gwynne,
of the distinguished New York
family of that name, she takes
little interest in publicity and
has never, if she could prevent
it, permitted her name to ap-
pear in public print-an archaic
idea in the light of the present
craze, shared by social leader
and footlight celebrity, for pub
1icity. Advanced in years and
widowed, she has of late with
drawn from society and takes
but little interest in the great
parade of which she was once
the leader.
Her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Cor
nelius Vanderbilt, of New York
and Newport, is the most active
of all the Mrs. Vanderbilts, So
cially speaking. Active and
popular despite the fact that
she is the least wealthy of the
present Mrs. Vanderb bilts.
Wealthy enough, however, to
maintain an elaborate estate at
Newport and a gorgeous yacht
recently purchased from the es-
tate of the late Russell Alger.
Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, jr.,
adores society and in New York
and Newport her rule is unques-
toned.
Mrs. william X.
Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt,
senior, was at one time a
great power in American So
ciety, but of late years has de-
voted herself to philanthropic
works and to explaining to her
friends the bizarre actions of
her two daughters by a for
mer marriage, Lady Paul Dukes
and Mrs. Barbara Rutherford
Hatch Nichols. Lifelong friends
of the mother hold the
former Margaret and Barbara
Rutherford responsible for Mrs.
Vanderbilt's retirement from So
ciety.
Her step-son, Willie K. Van.
derbilt, jr.. married the fasci-
mating Rose Lancaster in Paris
in 1927. He is the son of the
first Mrs. William K, the press
ent Mrs. o. H. P. Belmont,
good angel of the National
Women's Party here in Wash
ington and an internationally
known feminist leader. His
first wife, the former Virginia
Fair, prefers these days to be
known as Mrs. Graham Fair
Vanderbilt and as such queens
it at Saratoga Springs, n. Y,
where she races her owr string
of "bang-tailS." The Graham
Fair she takes from her father.
the late James Graham Fair.
In a way she is as active, So
cially, as Mrs. Nelly" Wander
bilt.
When she is In residence in
New York and at Palm Beach.
her parties and dinners are
famous. But, unlike the other
Mrs. Vanderbilt, she weilds her
blue pencil with less discrimi-
mating hand and her guest-lists
are apt to be a bit more elastic.

cles are such as to assure industrial activity to absorb the greater part of her industrial power. This means increased earnings and increased wealth accumulation, says the Min ing Congress Journal.
 A Paris dispatch states that France with the second largest sctore of gold in the world may soon turn to the collection of huge stock of silver. Her statesmen insist that that stock must be increased and that the purchase of silver will put France on a sound money basis as good as the best countries in the world and better than any of her direct competitors. No country can prosper permanently except in pro- portion to the stable money available for the transaction of its business. France will soon occupy a premier position among the nations of the world.

There was a slop jar beside the bed, partially filled with ,- the blood which dripped from wrists and throat while Black was trying to kill himself. with razor and knife. The bed clothing also was saturated with blood.
 Before. beginning his suicidal oper- ations, Black had placed a pair of new white socks on a chair near the bed, spread. dut in way as to sug- gest. a desire to have them used in dressing him for burial. Some money, watch. and other personal effects V were found undisturbed in the cabin.
 Tom Black first came to Alaska <, about 1906. and arrived at Seward in 1914, since which time he had made E. the railraad belt his headquarters He s workedaaass.. a camp cook along the railroad 5and his services always were X in demand because of his excellent cooking and genial manner.

They were making their way through Mckinley Park, in the direction of Muddy river, when they became separated, Black having gone on ahead of his lame companion to make camp for the night. When Kinney failed to make his appear ance within reasonable time, Black set out in search for him and contin- ued the scare halone for ten days be- fore reporting the matter to the park ranger. Kinney eventually was found by the rangers and it was evident that he had died of starvation and exposure, having lived for perhaps for two weeks after having become separated from his partner.
