With Alice and Evelyy

Simply drenched-soaked to
the skin! Clothes ruined-all
because that last downpour
caught us on the verge of an
appointment, with nothing to
protect one square inch Of us.
And that was lesson enough to
send us right out shopping for
those essentials we certainly
should have had-raincoats,
umbrellas and galoshes or rub
bers.
The Rain Keeps Out
They're made waterproof in
several different ways, 1T seems.
Cravanetted-done by that
Tightening process that closes
all the warp-and-woof crevices
of tweeds and the like, so that
even the most persistent of
tiny raindrops can't ooze
through. You'd never recognize
enc Of these as a raincoat at
all!
Then there's the double tex
ture" kind of raincoat. Two
thicknesSes of fabric pasted to-
gether with rubberized stuff.
Oil silks and 'longshoreman
slickers, of course, have expert
enced a treatment that makes
them very obviously waterproof.
But what we're most used to
seeing is a raincoat of fabric,
merely rubberized inside. This
simple method takes to almost
any fabric. Takes to celanese
and crepe de chine in coats for
q little over $40: takes to
sudanette neat silk-broadcloth-
looking cotton, that costs
little more. Other fabrics, other
prices-but the best buy of all
The Washington times., 1931-08-20

is a printed cotton covert-in
coats for Sc or less.
Tweed, Not Wool, But Cotton
One we almost bought, you'll
see at the le above. Needless
to say how high it can button
up-doesn't it look Just like a
sport coat? The flaps that top
the pockets keep things dry
inside. Made of tweed that's
not wool, but cotton-accounts
for the price Of about $5.95!
Don't know which is most at
tractive, red, blue, green or tan
with white. The leatherette
that's used for trim, comprises
whole coats sometimes, but
that's a little bulky, we feel.
On the main floor we saw
an umbrella just to match this
coat. The girl in the sketch
has it up. Tips and handle in
white repeat the white in the
tweed. Only $4.95-smart leath-
eTSGCe case aLQ IL.
Big or Small, Short or Tall
And last but not least is a
raincoat any age can wear. No
chance Of drop trickh0g down
the neck, with this talon slide
closing-going nearly to the
chin! Though we've sketched
it in celanese, which costs
about $3.50, it comes in a
number of materials. In
cotton covert with a beret to
match, for good measure, it's
only about Sc.

WHEAT MARKET HIT
AS EXPORTS DECLINE
All Grains Share in Downward

CHICAGO, September 26.-Disap-
pointment over almost complete alb

States wheat today had bearish eff
feet on grains. Canadians meanwhile
disposed of 100000 bushels of wheat
for shipment overseas. Speculative
sellers were restrained by opinions ex-
pressed that defiation in money would
bring about imitation Of commodity
prices, and that this In turn would re-
suit in better general business.
Wheat bears emphasized comment
that although it was admitted most
commodities were selling below cost Of
production. neither merchantile nor
speculative interests showed SUFFICIENT
confidence to take advantage Of the
situation. There was also talk that
with large Russian shipments headed
for Great Britain and with likelihood
that Canada would receive preference
under a proposed British tariff duty
of 10 per cent, indications were that the
