Orange. turquoise, geranium,

beauty. emerald green. lobster,
tiger lily. salmon. Chinese lac
quer. begonia, pumpkin, h~ollyhock,
copper and fusChia. These are
the colors favored this autumn
for the important sort of negli-
gees. hostess gowns and informal
dinner pajamas. They are made
Of transparent velvet and some
times of rich satin. With long
sleeves that flare from the shout
ders or with more abruptly far
ing sleeves that end just above
the elbow.
They are very graceful. these
new negligees and invariably make
one look ones best. Sometimes
there is a combination of two col
ors. or a color with black. Occa-
sionally there is lace and some
times a girdle Of metal cord, but
the most charming examples Of
them all retain a strict simplicity
that adds 10 their charm.
The choice is about even, PEI
haps. between pajamas and
gowns. Both are so lovely that
there really isn't any choice.

Brown Dress Calls
For Brown Shoes

Brown shoes are becoming more
and more a matter OF necessity
and less something that you may
choose il you wish to do So. No
one ever thinks Of wearing black
shoes with a brown dress nova
days as they might have done in
the days when black shoes were
the most usual sort Of street shoes
for cooler weather. Now you
must have brown shoes if you
wear a brown suit or dress or
coat, and the chances are that
you will choose brown shoes to 20
with your green costumes too -
unless there IN a distinct accent
Of black in the trimming Of the
green dress or unless you have
decided 20 wear the new very
dark green shoes.
You may choose a pair Of high
heeled Oxfords Of dark brown
suede, or a pair of straight heeled
Oxfords on brown suede with ALI
gator. Pumps too show n combina-
ton or brown suede and alligator
and there are pumps that com
bine brown suede with brown pat
ent leather.
One OF the smart shoe shops
shows pumps made with upstand-
ing tongues and large colonial
buckles-a type Of shoe that
would have been out or the ques-
ton with really short skirts but
which can be worn I good effect
with the boot-top or ankle-length
afternoon dress.
And just because skirts are
longer don't imagine that you can
give less thought TO your shoes
and stockings. We are a long, long
way from skirts that actually hide
the stockings and shoes and the
present skirt lengths are every bit
as exacting as the shorter skirts
that are entirely out Of date.
There II every indication that
very sheer stockings will be even
more in demand among well
dressed women now THAI ever be-
fore and oddly enough the coming
Of cool weather seems 10 increase
the demand for stockings Of cob
webby sheerness.

Turn Your

BusfIes. Bows. Necklaces
With Back Pendants
and Emphasis With
Flowers and Lace Fea-
ture Back DecoIletage

ID G H about face, says
IN fashion.
The front of your frock
may be important but the
burden of the trimming is at
the back of many of the
smartest new dresses. It's
new to US but it is an old
Victorian custom that was
especially in evidence in the
era of the hustle.
Lanvin, for instance, has
designed a dress that buttons
up the back from the neck to
to the waist, where a prim
little sash joins it to the skirt,
showing a tier Of four ruffles.
Louiseboulanger puts hustle
puffs on evening dresses cut down
to the waist line at the back and
Lucille Paray makes an evening
dress OF velvet that is shirred up
from the knees to waistline with
a narrow straight panel at the
back.
There Is not necessarily any
consistency about this modern use
Of hustle effects. IL may appear
on : dress with sleeves and other
details OF an entirely different
period. Our modern hustle
dresses are decidedly eclectic 49,
and therein lies their charm.
Bustle drapery Is not the only
detail that emphasizes the backs
Of our frocks.
Many OF the new evening
dresses are made with a very low
back decolletage. emphasized with
flowers at the point OF the ". And
with these low-back evening
dresses sometimes necklaces are
worn hanging down at the back,
with pendants hanging on the
spine.
Other evening dresses with lace
berthas and collars. though they
are not SO low at the back. still
emphasize the back decolletage.
The collar looks. TO old-fashioned
eyes. as IL 1t were on backward.
But 1t isn't. Of course. It's just
that the new mode requires that
ou- backs be as well dressed as
on: fronts.

Are Women Snobs?

1t may seem unfair to say that
women are more likely to be
snobs than men. Still such seems
to be the case. When a man
makes rapid strides on the social
ladder IL is usually because of
some marked native ability on his
part, even though that ability be
nothing more than that OF making
money. And the very fact that he
is a man of ability usually implies
that he is a mai of broad vision.
that he understands human nature
TO a certain extent and that at
least he Is shrewd enough not TO
be fooled by the false standards
that he may find in the social
circles in which he finds himself
placed. But a large-minded wo-
man to be his wife, or II might be

III. COINS OF THE CHINESE

We are in the custom of think ing that coins must be of circular shape, but that need not be the case. In Holland square-shaped coins are used, along with round coins. Some countries have made use of oblongs coins.
 Far back in history it is believed that tools were used as money in China, that knives, spades and the like took the place of coins.
 More than 2,700 years ago the Chinese began using pieces of bronze as money. These bronze pieces were shaped like knives, spades, pruning-hooks, and so on. It is strange to think of "coins" of that kind being used as money, but so 1t was.
 As small change" the Chinese of that period used cowry shells. The "cowry'' is a small sea animal, which has a pretty shell. It is re- lated to the snail.
 Three centuries after the Chinese began using knife money, round coins were minted. These coins were made of bronze and weighed | half an ounce apiece. They had holes at the center, making it sim | pie to place them on strings.
 From time to time an emperor would "debase" the coinage. This means that he would order metal of less value to be used in making the coins supposed to be bronze Another trouble came for forgers who copied the money of the em- peror and tried to pass it in trade In one case a clever forger was caught but was not punished. In- stead he was given a job in the Chinese mint!
 The Chinese appear to have been the first people who ever used pa | per money. About the year 800 paper money was issued. and it re. mained in use through the centur- l ies.
 During the past century, the Chinese began to mint silver and copper coins. After China became a republic, coins bearing the image of Sun Yat Sen were issued. With in recent years silver dollar with Chinese words on one side and English words on the other was issued. The English words read:
