With clothes, like room fur
niShings, studied simplicity is
one Of the chief charms. Sports
clothes are particularly adapta-
BILE to this alluring simplicity
and for that reason I wear
them wherever possible.
This years fall sports wear
is particularly attractive and
is so varied in line and design
that women Of every type can
find frocks that will enhance
their individual charm.
I chose this fall Sportswear
model Of the new ultra-smart
yellow, crimson and black plaid
because it is the epitome Of
charm and simplicity. The
effectiveness of the model is
achieved in the lightly fringed
tie and the folded shoulders,
which focus attention and
create a delightful underframe
for the face and head of the
Wearer.
The color scheme carried out
in the plaid is flattering to
blonde and brunette alike, &C.
centuating as it does the pale,
clear skin Of the fair woman
and adding a richness to the
ripe coloring of her darker
sister.

|Advice
I 7 O
Love|orn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX


Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am writing to you not ex-
actly my own problem, but one
that involves a friend, and in
which I find myself concerned.
She Is devotedly in love with
O man who Is a little over 80
years Of age, and who has been
attentive to her for the past
seven or eight years. He has
an excellent position and also
owns property, SO there is no
season In the world why they
should not be married. But he
has never proposed to her, yet
he is jealous If she receives at
tention from anyone else.
Whenever he has chance, he
makes love to me and tells me
that my Indifference to him is
very unflattering. 1 have ig-
nored him as much as possible,
because I think he should marry
my friend after he has wasted
The best years of her youth. At
che same time must confess
that I am not at all Indifferent
70 him, and it would make me
very happy if I could see more
Of him, but I am restrained by a
feeling Of responsibility to this
other girl. Do you think I am
right? CORA H.
The question Of how far q
girl should appear Indifferent to
another girls sweetheart chal-
1enges generosity to the last de-
cree. Fairminded women, it is
understood, are agreed that as
Tar as husbands are concerned
It should be "hands off" policy.
At least that's the code, whether
women live up to it or not. But
when even an engagement does
not exist, as in the present case,
It seems to me there are no
restrictions whatever.
You tell me that the man
has been going with the other
girl for a number Of years and
that he is now past 80. Per-
haps he is one Of those strange
creatures who prefer being
Just attentive" rather than
haian mo rY.iod Mo oYoa kT1ou,S
why, but the pathway Of life
seems to be paved with the
wreckage Of feminine hearts
taken up and thrown aside by
these incorrgible celibates. Be
sure he doesn't belong to this
type before you become more
deeply involved.
This will also answer 'Unde-
Cided."

By ALINE MICHAELIS
Autumn

A yellowed leaf to my window
drifted
On a breeze that marked the
summers end,
While flags of autumn were
proudly lifted
And her face had the look OF
a pensive friend;
OF a friend who has done with
toll and, dreaming,
Sits musing on things that are
past and through;
Yet lovelier now in her tran"
quill seeming
Than the glad young April
whom once knew.
A yellowed leaf brings me all
the story
OF the changing year, in its
withered veins,
The tale Of the springtime'S
dawning glory
And of summer moons, sweet
with lark's refrains.
And it hints, as well, Of the
winter coming
With his angry hosts over
earth's white ways
When his gales will be at my
windows, drumming,
And his clouds will mock at
my hearthfire's blaze.
A yellowed leaf, this is au-
tumn's token
AS she walks abroad through
the land today;
Yet with songs all sung and
with VOWS all spoken,
She is lovelier still than the
ardent May!

Perhaps the most charming
are the young girls. They seem
to run to colorful coats with
contrasting fur this year, I'M
less they can nave a fur coat.
Red, vivid blue, vivid green,
and some Of the softer greens
are seen a great deal, and the
furs are often light and very
very effective.
Swaggers Popular
If the younger girls can have
a fur coat, they nearly always
choose a swagger model, and
the fur is not often expensive,
for they are budgeted, even if
their parents can afford fine
clothes.
Lapin, kid, leopard cat and
muskrat are the furs most
often seen. A few shaggy rae
coons are always out too, and
occasionally there will be a
more expensive coat.
Women Choose Black
More sophisticated women
are running to suits, often
with a matching topcoat, and
to black or brown coats.
Many black coats have Per.
sian lamb for trimming, and
a good many have dark foxes,
silver or blue. Harris tweedS
are spotted over the stands too,
and Of course, fur coats Of
every kind and description,
even rich minks, though they
do look a little formal.
New Color in Lapin
An excellent choice for a
person of any age is a lapin
coat, and fortunately they're no
more expensive now than q
good cloth coat.
We found a smart one to
photograph. and you'll be
amazed when you learn that
its price is only $66.
It is in new taupe color,
almost as dark as mole. and is
perfectly plain. with fur but
tons, standing collar, and ex-
tremely smart sleeves with the
fullness rather low. It's avail
able in a downtown store.

your head. No more sloppy"

ing, but now they are def
nitely passe.
Thus it is necessary for every
woman with curly hair to have
some sort Of a wave, either a
finger wave or a comb wave to
set her hair and give it that
trim and tailored appearance
that fashion demands.
When it comes to waving
their hair, most women have
a rather troublesome time. 1t
is not difficult to finger wave
the hair, but it is a task that
requires plenty Of patience.
And so today, we will tell you
something about comb waving,
a process which will not try
your temper.
Comb Waving
Comb-waving Is really much
simpler for those who are not
particularly nimble with their
fingers.
Before beginning the waving
process, the hair should be sham.
pooed and thoroughly rinsed. AL
excess moisture should be re-
moved from the hair and a good
waving lotion applied. Flaxseed
and water make a good lotion II
you do not care to purchase one
already prepared.
The hair should then be
combed smoothly down with the
fine end of comb. 1t is better to
comb the hair slightly back at
this point, rather than flat down
at the sides.
You next insert noninflam-
mable waving combs. First comb
the hair back from the part, and
insert a comb, teeth pointing to-
ward the parting. Then comb the
hair forward to make dip, and
insert another comb in the same
manner.
Form RingletS
Comb the hair backward
again, and insert another comb.
Continue this down the entire
length of your hair.
Then twist the ends up into
tiny ringlets, pin them in place
with small hairpins, and per-
NIT your hair to dry.
When your hair is thoroughly
dry (and it isn't bad idea to
have one of the small electric
hair dryers around), remove the
combs, gently comb out the
waves, and brush the ringletS
around your finger. This pro-
cess will give you a most att
tractive, flat, and natural look
ing wave if you go about it cor
rectly.
