August Sales End!
Coat Prices Go
Higher

With autumn coat sales draw
ing to a close, and with the
assurance on every side that
prices are really going higher,
we feel duty bound to present
the fall coat story once more
before sales are over. For it's a
wise woman who goes down.
town this very day and makes
her purchase. FurS will be much
higher later on. Labor is more
costly, fabrics going up, the
price of the finished garment
many dollars more per coat.
And fashion points won't change
much. In case you've forgotten
the essentials, we'll review them
hastily.
Shoulders Supreme
Shoulders are the center of
interest. They may have stiff
width, or a soft padded look,
which is really newer. Square
topped sleeves achieve their
look by means of a piece of fur,
or a roll or wing of the fabric.
Other sleeves drop their fullness
nearer the elbow, and are wide
through the elbow rather than
the shoulder. Coats are fairly
straight in silhouette, with a
loose bodice. a nipped in waist,
and slim effect below. Cuffs are
left off in most cases, especially
if there's much fur about the
top of the coat.
Only Fine Furs Used
Fur, in spite of the absence
of cuffs, is more lavish than
ever. It makes full |, wide
collars, it covers the top of the
sleeve, sometimes used for a
whole puff on the sleeve, it
makes scarfs, borders, wings,
and even capes. Because of the
low prices of furs, only the gen.
inc and good skins are used.
Flat furs are excellent, but so are
foxes and other long-haired
pelts, so it's difficult to say
which is best. Furs may match
the fabric, or they may con-
trast, as you choose.
Maxine Poses
Maxine Doyle, of the Earle,
posed for us in a beautiful
coat that illustrates many good
points. It's a brown cloth coat
of a soft boucle type woolen,
and the fur is Canadian beaver,
a rich, deep quality. The fur
makes big puffed sleeves and
an Ascot scarf, which you may
wear open, or snug up to the
throat, as Miss Doyle prefers
it. The lines of the coat are
good, and are particularly slen-
derizing. With it she wears a
brown felt hat with a peaked
feather. The price of the coat
is $125 in a downtown store,
and the hat is IS, from the
same store. The shoes are plain
kid pumps, also from the store.

Advice to oveIorn

YOUNG MOTHER.
The day nursery would be
my choice, in your place, my
dear. You would then have
your children with you even
ings, and would not miss all
their adorable ways during
those precious years that are
over all too soon. If you put
them in an institution, you'd
hardly mean more to them
than the lady who came on Wis
iting days. Your idea of going
back to school is excellent, but
please don't let your ambition
tempt you to separate yourself
from your little boys. You'd
all be losers by that.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
1 am 18 and live in a small
town. There is a boy who
works in a store near my home,
whom I have known for several
years, but didn't like him until
lately. He speaks to me when
I go into the store Il go every
day. and seems very nice.
Sometimes he chats, and other
times he only says Hello"

AS you've known this boy
for several years, why not in
vite him to your home. Or, if
you don't want it to look too
pointed, invite two or three
young people in for Sunday

or to have a little dance. Or
you could suggest a Sunday

The nursing mother should eat
sparingly Immediately after her

two, light food, such as milk, broth
and toast should be eaten only, as
this is easy to digest. On the third
day, however, a gradual return to
normal diet may be begun,

should be avoided as much as pos.

Brittle Nails

Question: What can 1 do for
fingernailS that are brittle?
They break off before I can
grow them to the proper length.
IN. T. C..
Answer: Brittle nails are
sometimes a deficiency in the
diet. Try dipping the fingers in
oil for few minutes each night;
rub oil around the cuticle, and
you might ask the operator to
use plenty of oil when she gives
you a manicure. AS soon as the
nails have become stronger, it
won't be difficult to keep them
so.

Question: I have long hair

I am a little tired of the way 1

it long. Thank you for this
wonderful opportunity.

Answer: I received your pic
ture. You might build your roll
around closer to the back of
your ears to fill in that one
spot. For the front, however,
I feel that you are combing
your hair much too severely.
You might part it about over
your left eyebrow, bring the
waves across your head as you
are doing, and bring a dip down
on your forehead over your right
temple and fluff it in about the
upper part of your cheekbones.
I feel that your forehead should
be widened and the line soft
ened, that your cheekbones
should be narrowed a trifle,

Russian Capital Is
Reproduced in Film

Technicians who worked on the
screen production Of "Rasputin and
the Empress" now showing at the
Paramount Theater following its SEN
sational showing in New York and
the principal cities Of the country,
were faced with the problem of re-
producing scores of buildings from
pre-war Moscow as we'll as the hun
bred and one details having to do
with court coronation, state reception
and the private life Of Russia's regal
family.
Fist Appearance Together
John, Ethel and Lionel Barrymore
all appear in this screen production,
joined together for the first time In
their respective stage and screen ca
reers. Miss Barrymore's characterize
ton of the Czarina also stands as her
debut in dialogue pictures. her only
other cinema work having been in the
era of silent films. John Barrymore
has the role of Prince Chegodieff, who
tries in vain to prevent the downfall
Of the Russian aristocracy, while
Lionel is to be seen as Rasputin. more
generally known as the Mad Monk, or
Holy Devil.
The character Of Rasputin has been
discussed by so many fiction and nom
fiction writer's since the mysterious
monks death in 1916, that the chief
historical facts are well known. Born
in Siberia in 1870, Rasputin was in
troduced. into society circles in st.
Petersburg and as result of his
magnetic personality and alleged mys-
tic powers, he became intimate with
the Emperor Nicholas and exercised
in the state decisions Of the Car and
Czarina. Rasputin, according to all
his biographers, led a life of dissipa-
ton and intrigue. In 1914 he was
stabbed by woman friend Of a girl
whom he had betrayed. He had the
services Of the cars physician, and
recovered, only to meet a violent
death two years later.

seem to have a preference for
broken legs, judging from the
number of legs that have been
mended since Rombough has
been in town. They knit easily,
however, and usually there is no
trouble after the tiny leg is
placed in a splint.
Feeding Important
There are IA singing teachers
in the clinic now, that is, grown
up and experienced canaries who
can warble a range of Is notes.
They teach the young ones how
to follow their notes and soon
the youngsters become talented
singers.
Canaries should never be al
lowed to eat from the table
since this upsets them and. brings
about a loss of feathers, Rom
bough said. And whatever you
do don't put two canaries in

Rombough is associated with

harmful chemicals in ordinary

Rombough said. This danger can
be easily eradicated, however, by
merely boiling the water before
the canary drinks.

COST Of LIVING
SURVEY GIVEN
ROOSEVELT
Secretary Perkins Report
Reveals Status of U. S.
Bureau Employees

Secretary of Labor Perkins re-
port on living costs of Federal
employees, scheduled to reach the
White House late this week, will
cover employees in all classes even
though wide divergence between
separate groups has been uncoV-
cred by her Department, it was
auth >ritatively learned today.
Anxious to obtain as fair a
picture as possible of the true
situation, DR.. Isador Lubin, direc-
tor of labor statistics, separated
Federal employees in different
salary groups for the survey.
Early returns indicate some
groups have been harder hit by
depression prices than others but,
it is admitted, the final report
will present horizontal base for
all classes. And significant devia-
tions by special groups from the
average will have to be dealt
with in a separate report.
Persons in the lower brackets
apparently benefited most from
falling prices since food, the
commodity to drop the most, con-
stituted a large item in their
budgets. This was offset, how
ever, the survey revealed, by an
increase in rent by many land
lords who did not hesitate to
gouge Federal workers.
Employees in the larger brackets
apparently benefited least from
falling commodity prices. Groups
between are still being examined
to discover how they compare
with fellow workers.
