Smart Suits
For Autumn
WardrObe
BY WILMA LA VILE

ny WILMA LA NAAAG
AS We have said before, this
fall is a suit season. Suits are
smart for every time of day
and they are marvels of beauty
and becomingness. Furthermore,
there are certain types that
are very, very practical as an
addition to your wardrobe.
Among the most wearable
and usable types is the suit
with full-length coat. AS you
can easily see you can make a
dozen different costumes by
adding various dresses or
blouses to this suit. You can
buy smart suits all over Wash
ington in both sports and for
NAL types with long coats.
Nothing could be a sounder
basis for your winter wardrobe
or could give you more service
for your money.
We have selected two suits
that illustrate informal and
semi-formal types, and we are
sketching them for you today.
The suit without fur is Of
bordered tweed and comes in
three or four good dark colors
such as wine, green and brown.
The shawl collar is most be.
coming and the belted lines OF
the coat will be gracious to
practically any figure. This
suit has a straight, well-fitted
coat. and a beret of tweed. but
there's no blouse with it. You
can vary it almost indefinitely
by adding sweater blouses or
silk blouSes and you can also
wear the coat over your sheer
woolens or tailored silk frocks.
The other suit is of a very
fine soft figured tweed in mix
lures with black. red or green
predominating. It has a skirt
and a beautiful silk blouse Of
the type that tuckS in or out.
The fur collar is Of soft silky
. fox and the whole suit is very
rich looking and elegant. This
coat would do to wear over
any informal costume and for
a semi-formal affair. Botn
suits are priced modestly for
what you get in them and they
are from a Washington store.
Miss La Vile will gladly an
swer any question about these
suits or about fashion If you
will telephone District $3.50. ex-
tension 165, or write, sending
a Self.addreSSed, stamped en-
velOpe.
The Washington times., 1930-09-29

The popular type Of secre-
tary illustrated takes care Of the
writing problem and book
problem, too. Plenty of room
here for all kinds of writing ma
terials and account ledgers.
And you find them priced any
where from $25 up to as high
as you want to pay!
With a simple Windsor chair,
as is shown in the sketch, it
makes an interesting group
that adds much to the decora-
tive value of your room.
And see how easy it is to
make a reading group. starting
with a comfortable chair. Just
be sure your small table and
lamp are in harmony with the
type of chair : as they are
in the illustration.
The chest of drawers sketched
is fine for either living room or
bedroom. Or a vacancy in the
bedroom can be easily filled with
one of the popular chaises lon-
que or a comfortable boudior
chair.
There are lots of ways to
give your room new interest
this fall. To make it a place
you like to be in. A place the
whole family likes to be in
and bring their friends
to visit.

ing it on the dining room table?
Have I a place to tuck away
odds and endS?" The packs of
cards, card table covers, pencils,
an extra needle and spool Of
thread. Something that has
drawer space for lots of things.
Small Tables
Maybe it's only a footstool
they need to fill up the hole. Or
a coffee table to set by the sofa.
Or a book table to hold the
overflow from the book shelves.
It's surprising what new in

small objectS-or others.
