NEW YORK, Aug. 7.-Have
you been hit yet by the annual
urge to "do something" to your
living room in the fall? It's
Just about this time of year
it's apt to strike hardest.
One way to answer this urge
is to plan on getting at least
one new piece Of furniture.
Something that harmonizes with
what you already have-looks
well with the other pieceS-but
gives an opportunity for new
and different arrangements.
If this is your idea, sofas
a fine piece to decide on. You
can use it to fill up an empty
corner space or an eXpanse Of
wall. Or build a group Of
pieces around 1t one
that draws the whole family
into a pleasant. chatty (as-
Sembly.
Used in Many Ways
Sofas look happy at right
angles with the fireplace-or
with a window that has q
CHEEKY view. They're also good
between the two windows or
along the wall opposite the fire
place.
Yes people find they
can do most anything with a
sofa and have it look decora-
tive and livable. But the ques-
ton is-"What kind to get?"
And the answer is the same
as the old song-"It All De
pends on You"-and on your
furniture.
What you like the looks Of
and what your furniture
looks best with.
Three sofas very much in Ia
vor with faShion-knowing people
are the ones we've had sketched.

Prices Lower
On New Fur
Goats
By Wilma La Vile

This is an exciting year in
fur coats. They are more be-
coming than they've ever been.
And from advance August col
lections, prices seem lower than
they have been, so that most
of us can buy new fur coat.
Here are two coats of the
type that Washington women
seem to prefer so far. They
are both for general daytime
wear. You can call them sports
coats and yet they are correct
through the day. One coat
is of lapin which will probably
be the most popular of in
formal furS. It's in a lovely
deep beige, flattering and wear
able with many things. The
other coat is of ocelot which
closely resembles the spotted
leopard. 1t is trimmed with
beaver in the interesting and
intricate manner of the newer
coats.
These coats stress most Of
the important points for in
formal fur coats. AS you see,
they are widely wrapped over
and by means of their closer
fitting at the waistline, they
appear to be slightly flared,
though the fullness is so gen.
eral and discreet that we can
scarcely call it a flare. Both
these coats may be worn with
or without their belts, though
most of us will wear them
belted as they seem newer and
more becoming. Both of them
are long enough to cover fall
dresses, which is another i'm
portant point.
Authorities agree that there
will be more coats with collars
of their own fur than with con-
traSting fur. The lapin fur
coat illustrates the first type
and the ocelot is smart for it's
contrasting trimming Of brown
beaver. Both of these coats are
inexpensive, practical and be-
cause of their careful cutting
and closer fitting. they are as
wearable as a cloth coat. They
are both from a Washington
store.
