FALL BRINGS NEW
NOTE IN SWEATERS

The vogue for suits this fall has
brought all sorts of new ideas In
sweaters In its wake. Every woman
who has a tweed or knitted suit wants
to vary 1t with at least three blouses.
and one of these is sure to be a
sweater. The latest In sports sweaters
are gay plaids. combining the cos
tune color with bright contrasting
shades. These sweaters appeal to the
school and college girl-for you can't
get too much color on the campus.
They are very simply styled, for
their gay patterns are sufficiently dec
orative without further elaboration.
One especially smart one. in bright
green, red and yellow plaid. for wear
with a greet tweed suit, has high
crew neckline, fastened with three but
tons. It is finished at the waistlipe
with a wide ribbed band, and the
slightly full sleeve has a tight ribbed
cuff.
Another favorlte with the school and
college set Is the crew-necked slip

solid color. This Is youthful and prac-
teal, and is worn in color to contrast
with the skirt.

A UTUMN modes call for buttons
and then some. Whole battalions
Of them are ranging themselves on the
new frocks, coats and blouses. They
are apt to park most anywhere, these
legions Of buttons, maybe In a prim
row up and down the front or back.
or like as not diagonally across the
bodice front or fastening the sleeve
even up to the shoulder line or in
ornamental groups. There's really no
telling what course buttons are apt to
pursue this season, for they seem to
be having it all their own way as to
when. where and how they shall be
used.
When you button that new frock,
coat or blouse, be sure to button it In
the once old-fashioned but now new
fashioned way with honest-to-goodnes
buttonholes. 1t is really the chic way
Of doing 1t. Crowd as many buttons
into space as you will, the more the
smarter.
AS to whether you button this or
that up the front or down the back
or vice versa, well, that Is really
matter of choice. although we must
say the new wooden dresses and crepe
blouses which button down the back
are frankly good looking. The outfit
which the modishly .attired young
woman is wearing in the picture, turn
ing her back to us so as to better dis
play the buttoned fastening. bears out
this statement.

sIf you are out on the Topaz road,
stop at the Little Alice. I'm going out
there shortly"
The invitation was accepted, condi-
TONED upon their driving that far.
As they were taking the roadster
out of the hotel garage Lands asked
what was to be the program for the
day.
II want to take q shot at trying to
ind out what Candy did with those
two unaccounted-for hours yesterday
morning"
The "shot" was fired methodically
by making inquiries on all the roads
leading out of Brewster, and it led to
nothing until the round brought them
to the road over which they them
selves had driven in. Here, at cot
! tage, Markham stopped the car. say
ing, "There was light in this house
when we came by yesterday morn
ing: noticed 1t. It's only another Of
the wild chances; butTwe'll ask"
A woman answered their knock, and
Markham began the well-worn formula.

''No, there were three more; big
cars all just alike. Two going into

Lands saw possibility in this and
caught at it.
"C0uld y0u-can you remember the
times when these three cars, just
alike, went past?" he asked.
"Not just; but l sh'd say it was
somewhere near three o'clock when
the first one went by, going on to
town."
"Could you see this big car well

BILE has q peculiarly interesting Story
to tell. At first glance 1t might well
be taken for one-piece dress or per-
haps skirt with a bodice top. 1t Is
none such. What It, really is, is o
dress-and- jacket combination of novel
design. To explain in detail, bodice

buttons up the back. or down, If you
prefer to have it so, over one-piece
dress made of the self-same black rab-
bits hair wool. The long sleeves be-
long to the frock. However, the point
we want to make is that it buttons up
the back in latest approved manner.
When It comes to coats many-but-
ton fastening gives them decidedly
new styling. The coat pictured has
buttons from tip-to-toe. It is Of beige
wooden and the bow is of wide brown
MORE ribbon, pulled through a slot
In the cape and then tied. OF course
the wearer need not stop and metic-
ulously button every button into Its
buttonhole. The ultra thing to do is
to fasten three or four casually at
the waistIine as pictured to the left
in the picture. Even the sleeves are
buttoned at the wrist and the cape
likewise subscribes to the button
vogue. &
Which all goes to show that there
Is absolutely no such thing as over
doing the button fad this season.
What's more, every sort of button
from the simplest bone types to the
most gorgeous jeweled effects are en-
ployed.
When buttons are not actually used
to fasten, they play decorative role,
one of the cleyerest movements being
the placement Of buttons in single
row, outlining ,necklines and other
edges. They are using button trims
on hats, too. Velvet berets with vel
vet-covered buttons grouped on their
crowns are among the new Paris show
ings.
