SMALL THINGS THAT MAKE A COSTUME

Browns are unusually good,
due to the fact that brown
furs have returned for wear
with black, so that brown
hose will be worn with black
clothes as well as with
brown. Taupe goes espe-
cially we'll with black, so
will enjoy great favor. Gun
metal will be worn, but less
than brown or taupe, and
there will be some beige
early in the fall, which will
disappear almost entirely
later on. You can find
plenty of shades that will
go with almost any color,
wine, green, brown or black.
They will most probably be

Of hose for two or three sea-

fabrics so dull, it seems an
essential. Dull hose go bet

woods, and are also best in
the evening.

Fur Jacket Still
Popular In Capital

The fur jacket is just as
popular as it ever was, and
is out in new and smarter
versions. Again the fairly
flat furs are used, leopard,
lapin, caracul or seal for
sports and street jackets,
and dyed squirrel, mink or
ermine for jackets a little
more formal. The mink cape
is a newcomer to the mode
that is exceedingly smart,
and promises to have quite
a run. It's popular because
it can be worn for both day
and evening. Many capes
Of kolinsky come on cloth
coats, and will be used for
both times. The fashion is
sound enough, however, to
make it worth your while to
invest in a cape of mink,
and the prices are not high
for them. Jackets are simply
made, usually longer than
the extremely short ones of
last year, and sometimes
fitted slightly. In this mild
Washington climate, they
are very useful, and many
women buy one in addition
to a long fur coat.

New Handbags
Are Roonoy

At last you can put many
belongings into a handbag
and have it quite all right.
The new bags are roomy,
wide at the bottom, and
sometimes rather large. The
fact that women always
crowded them anyway, prob
ably made the designers de-
eide to enlarge them. En-

Forward tilted brims and
pert bows are two of the
ways, the most important
two, by which the new hats
achieve their romantic look.

flavor of the '90s, and of
the early part of this CEN

Fashions make radical
changes, but it's seldom
possible for shoes to keep
pace with them. This year,
however, they are stepping
into line with Edwardian
fashions. The changes are
slight, and have been on
the way for some time, so
that it takes a close OBJ
server to notice them, but
watch fall clothes, and you
will be able to buy fall
shoes to go directly with
them. Edwardian details
are the higher cut of pumps

Smart To Have Hat
Match Costume

Fall materials are divided
between the felts and the
fabrics, and it's hard to tell
which will come out ahead.
The fabrics include a long
list of wool and silk crepes,
knitted fabrics, velvet, and
heavier materials such as
tweeds to match similar
suits and coats. It's very
smart to have your hat
match exactly, and it's not
hard this year, as there is
such a variety to choose
from. You'll find not only
turbans, but brimmed hats
in nearly any material you
want.

Gloves Should Fit
Particular Costume

There are fashionable man
nish types, too, gloves to
wear with your tweeds and
sports costumes. Heavier
feathers make them, pig
skin or capeskin. They have
overseams, or are hand
stitched to increase their
tailored appearance. Some
of them button at the wrist,
to fit nicely with a coat
sleeve, others have strap
and clasp, though the ma
jority are simple four button
slip-ons. These gloves fit
loosely, as they are likely to
be used for driving a car or
for sports. They should be
bought a size or so too big,
while on the other hand,
street or dress gloves are
now quite closely fitted, in
the Edwardian manner.
Especially gloves with cuffs
must fit through the wrist,
and the glove that buttons is
increasing in popularity.
Four and five button gloves
are best for street, with -

Trimmed Gloves
Are Now In Vogue

The biggest news in gloves
this fall is that many Of
them are trimmed. That
doesn't mean that plain
gloves won't be worn. In
deed the plains and the
trimmed will be about
equally popular, but it's
been so long since trimmed
gloves have had any fash
ion acceptance, that it makes
news. Trimmed gloves even
so are simply trimmed, are
neat and tailored. There
are stitchings, tucks, per-
forations, and narrow strip
pings. And it's smart to
wear these trimmed gloves
with plain frocks, but plain
gloves with dresses that have
a good deal of trimming.

Simplicity Gives
Shoes Neat Effect

This years shoes are
simpler in trimming, and
sometimes in line, than the
shoes of recent seasons.
Stitching, modest piping,
and perforations are almost
the only trimming used. Al
though they may be cut in
new ways, with side open
ing, high across the instep,
and so on, the lines are still
rather plain, and there is
never any trimming that
ruins the neatness of the
shoe. Good material and
good cut are sufficient for
good looks. This is a prac-
tical fashion, as very
trimmed shoes cannot be
worn with many costumes.

SPRINCTIME
Swallows,
BY ID. C. PEATTH.

SWALLOWS.
Swallows are almost the only birds
that actually adhere to what Emerson
so delectably called the punctual alma
nae of the birds, first coming back.
Every year, at Just this time. I look for
the tree swallows, and back they come,
rain or shine. One day they are not
there, and the next the evening air is
full of them, sweetly twittering in the
skies, against the lemony-gold Of an
early Spring sunset, chasing each other
and tumbling from height like clowns,
only to catch themselves up safely
when, as it seems. they must certainly
strike the gable of my brown roof.
The tree swallows spend the Winter
in the Gulf States, where I have seen
them in marshy places around the Mis-
sissippi Delta in their cohorts and regi-
ments. never see them here in groups
of more than 10 or Is, perhaps because
their insect fare at this season is not
order to find enough.
Hereabout the barn swallow Is rare,
perhaps because that species has not
evolved into garage swallow, but down
in the country where there are still
barns often see them as late as June.
In few days now one can begin to
expect still another swallow, the purple
martin, bird so useful to man in the
number Of harmful insects that it de-
stroys, so lovable and sociable and

writing, is of notable interest.
i From it we should judge that
the writer is either a shy and
retiring person, or that she lacks con-
f1dence in her own abilities. Very likely
the latter is true. Her writing displays
considerable competence and certain
degree of will power. 1t is probable
that she can force herself on to do even
the most difficult tasks. Her greatest
trial may be in meeting people in the
proper way. She may hesitate to eX-
press herself, thus allowing others to
think less of her abilities than they
should
The double-looped and slightly open

nature slightly careless, she has over
come this trait and is now a very care
full person, who almost always double
checks everything she does. This should
make her well equipped for really re-
sponsible position. 1t would be possible
for her to accept responsible duties and
perform them well.

very well fitted to do this work and that

1t is quite probable that she likes to
see emotional plays in the movies. She
perhaps puts herself in the place Of the
heroine, laughing and crying with her.
She possibly has certain actresses who
are her especial favorites and whom she
unfailingly goes to see. She should
guard against taking plays too seriously,
at all times remembering that they are
