New Fashions From Paris Turn Back The Clock Mode Returns Second Empire Influence Costumes

tons as we'll as a few tentative ideas for the future big fall show ings in the unbeatable settings that Auteuil, Chantilly and Longchamp offer.
 BedccIed in Fine Feathers
 The trend of fashions is decided ly influenced by the styles Of the Second Empire, but whereas so far as dresses are concerned, the movement is a more or less faint evocation of that period, hats show a revolutionary movement.
 Without any period of transi- ton the elegante woke up one fine morning to find that the micro scopic cap. perilously. placed at the back of her head, had given way to beplumed and befiowered tricornes. marquis and modern editions of the riding felt. And the movement did not stay at shapes and instead of bare, almost nude expanses of fore head, the new hats actually almost hid one eye. The result is jaunty. even picturesque, but women will have to learn a whole set of new gestures to fit the latest creations.
 It is quite certain that the new hat modes will have an influence on fall fashions. From that to stating that crxnolines will be "n" again this winter is rank exaRger- ation. The masters Of Parisian couture have too acute a sense of the requirements of modern life ever to atetmpt anything of this nature.
 Hats Top the Mode.
 But the fact remains that four out of five women are wearing the new dip" hats, and to do them justice dresses will have to be longer and wider and bodices even more formfitting and shorter waisted. They are too strong a tendency 10 be neglected, in the opinion of Jean Charles Worth. but there is every indication that they are intended for the smart, sophisticated type of women only. Last August, Worth presented a number of evening gowns which were enthusiastically selected by the women rcputcd 10 be the best dressed in the world. and which had the front draped back to form Il hustle effect with ruffles cascad- ing down the back. This style will probably be interpreted again this fall by most dressmakers, to- gether with A modernized version of the wide hoop skirts of pre- vious century.
 Discretion Is Required. The latest fashions take quite a lot of wearing to look just right. not like fancy-dress affairs. The% demand an enormous amount of discretion and an acute sense of dress to achieve a real chic, and it Is interesting 10 note, in this trans itory stage of style. how many well dressed women have adopted the ultra simple in their dress rather than risk making a mistake.
 It is rumored that green and brown will be the fashionable col OTIS for fall. with blues and reds next in favor. Black and white combinations wild still stand for the acme of smartncss. judging by their prevalence in mid-Season showinGe

It was a summer hotel--there were sev- eral children-and each and all os them as 1t happened traipsed through the lobby at some time or other making his favorite kind of noise.

 And I saw this: A young mother engaged nurse to look. after her two little boys. one about 4-one about 2. In the park the Iittlest fellow gather up some stones and Some of them fell into a lady's lap. The lady had fit and looked as sour as vinegar. The nurse in the way of apology to the lady slapped the little chaps hands. The older boy Insisted upon running up and down the steps of the band-stand. The nurse finally shook him. When caught him on hts last flight at the top of the steps, she dragged him down by one arm, not allow Ing him to walk. At noon, when they returned to the hotel, the faces

of these little boys were tired and unhappy. Their mother had come in from a game of golf in a bad humor. More scolding, reporting of misbehavior. probably more skipping. It was just too bad.
 Young Mechanic Punished
 And saw this: A little boy taken to the park by his grandma to hear the concert, discovered that the top bar of their bench was loose. He wasn't more than or 4-just the right age to try to ft things together. He pro- ceeded to put the bar in it's place, fitting the nails in their holes, then pulling them out again and doing 1t all over. It didn't bother anybody but Grandma. She grab bed him. slapped him. and set him down very hard. He didn't cry just sat there like major, while the band played on.
 This lady was 8 person of high degree from all appearances. but what she had to learn about chill dren was plenty. What the nurse and the mother had 10 learn was plenty. What the old gentleman never had learned. he never would. I have decided that 1t Is a hard world for little children. And class makes no difference 1t seems. We older people are very selfish- our treatment of children is all most purely reactive. When will we learn to think of them other wise than as being nuisances?

Seated at 6 table in a restauran mt. with a cup of coffee in front of her, Sue spread out the newspaper and proceeded to look under the classified ads. Somebody wanted d laundress. That was out. omebody else needed a gardener. That wouldn't do.
 Ever 50 many people needed jobs. That was quite evident.
 Finally Sue came to an adver- tisement in far corner.
 WANTED-Girl for office re-
 ccptiOnist. Please apply at
 Room AIS, Clifford Building.
 Sue glanced at her wrist watch. The paper was Just appearing on the street, she knew. Not many girls had noticed the advertisement as yet, in all probability. If she went right away she would have a chance. If she waited and went to the hospital hrst, she would arrive at the ofiice aDout the time It looked as though Ziegfeld was picking his chorus. She drank her coffee quickly, paid her check, ana started down the street. A police man told her where to ind the building.
 She found room 4l9 very easily. Neat gold letters were printed on the long glass door.
 ''Dr Ii. B. Barnes"
 They were very now letters. The gleam of the gilt explained that. The second line should have pro- claimed just what manner of doctor the man was. But there wasn't a second line.
 Sue opened the door while she started to check over the list. The furniture was very new also. Evi- dently, no matter what kind of doc- tor had the ofice, he hadn't had many patients as yet, Sue reflected. Not a single gay cover was ripped from any of the magazines on the table.
 Sue sat down to wait until he should open the door of the inner office and appear. She could hear someone whIstling. A cheerful sort of whistle.
 Hes young, for It's a new office and he's Just starting up" Sue went on with her thoughts. Hes opti- mistic too. And he proba bIy doesn't

Maybe the next applicant would be a blonde, and maybe the young doctor preferred blondes. She cleared her throat hoping that the sound would attract him. She wondered If he had heard her enter. Surely he ought to come out.
 Then she decided that she would open and close the door again. That ought 10 bring him. She open cd it, closed 1t and sank back into her chair again. IL did the trick. The inner door opened.

Claire came in with dismay all
 over her face. Mother" she walled, what can l do? Look at this skirt. It has machine grease all over 1t. must have rubbed against 1t somehow" She almost cried, she was so disturbed for this skirt was one of her favorites and tomorrow she was slated for a weeks vacation trip.
 Mrs Lacey looked at the stain. Tt Is grease. sure enough. Take the skirt out to the kitchen and get some lard from the refrigera- tor. Rub the spot well with that and let 1t stand for a half hour. This softens the spot. Then after that we'll wash the skirt we'll lin | warm, strong suds."
 Claire did as she was told, but there were still traces of the spot. Her mother told her to repeat the process. After two more trials the skirt was as spotless as when new and Claire hugged her mother in
 relief and gratitude.
 Mrs Lacey felt that this must
 be her day for dealing with spots for when she went to the laundry bag she found that some damp clothes had been put Into 1t. They had stayed damp in the muggy l atmosphere and as q result there were large spots of mlldew on her table cloths and sheets.
