IN EVOLVING wardrobes which must
= prove 100 per cent efficient in meet
ing the demands of the present autumn
and coming winter sports and social
season, designers are playing up fab
RIGS with more than usual zest.
More and more are we brought to
realize that there is fabric for every
occasion, and for every occasion there
is fabric. Present couturier dis.
plays are real schooling in this re-
spect, since they so Enthusiastically
classify materials as to their intent.
An especially intriguing display is
being made this season Of handsome
woolens and sturdy novelty weaves
which tell you at a glance that they
are essentially for sports and practi-
cal town and country wear. In this
class spectacular showing Of plaids
indicates that they will animate many
a grandstand assemblage during the
coming weeks. A costume which tanes
in admirably to colorful autumn pic
ture is shown in the group Illustrated.
It includes skirt with matching belt
and tie of brown and beige wooden
plaid. The jacket of brown ribbed vel
vet tops blouse of beige silk.
This idea of combining several
weayes as instanced in this ensemble
Of plaid wooden, ribbed velvet and
rough crepe silk is significant in that
it Is gesture among designers which
offers fascinating possibilities not only
as to working several materials to-
gether. but the promise for alluring
color schemes Is limitless.
Perhaps you have heard that the
smartest thing on the boards this sea-
son for practical daytime wear is
shirtwaist dress. These are being
made up effectively of the new
checked woolens. The model pictured
is tailored Of dark green and beige
check. It's perfectly tailored KNAPP

carry unmistakable style prestige.

The summer of my sophomore year,
thirty of us from the university went
to Europe as deck hands on steamer

an orchestra and practiced after the
mules had been bedded down for the

Spain, we played In that country and
then went to Paris, France, where we
played in some of the cafes and night
clubs. Our orchestra was a success.

Points of Danger in

In general, rocky ground is struck

ly if they are high, are commonly
struck. Large groups Of persons
caught out in the open by storm
should scatter and lie down In the
mud--it is better to be muddy than
sorry.
Similarly, If one is caught out in
a lake in an open boat--a very bad
place to belt is best to lie down
in the bottom and drift than to try
to row to shelter.
Another rule for safety in the
country is that ii is better not to
yield to temptation and seek shelter
in exposed buildings. 1t is better to
get wet than to stand on the porch

Just as safe Tor as dangerously as

FEMlNINITY SUPREME

ME ALL remember the postwar
w days. Feminine faces suddenly
gone masculine. Softly curving figures
taking on a mannish straightness.
Feminine locks shipped shorter and
shorter. Then the ridiculous extremes
In eyebrows. First heavy, unruly
mass, then the pencil-like, expression
less arch. And makeup anything but
the happy medium. Rouge applied too
boldly and heavily or completely omit
ted. Lips shaped SO unnaturally and
rouged SO highly that they smacked
Of boldness bordering on vulgarity.
Too much-entirely too much of the
extreme, the eccentric, the masculine.
Femininity was locked in fashions at
tie closet. The beauty-wise mourned
her. To them she seemed too long
lost.
Now fashion has released her once
more. And our new-found femininity
Is lovelier than ever. No cobwebs have
attached themselves to her. She has
not suffered by the long absence. And
we women-what welcome we are
giving her! Absence does make the
heart grow fonder, doesn't it?
Look around you. On all sides you
see ladies-lovely ladies. Gone are
the fiappers, the boyish bob, the bored
air and ennui. Compilations are all
aglow with newer loneliness. A
saner and healthier attitude is being
taken on the subject of the figure.
Extreme thinness is not stressed to the
extent 1t was year or two ago.
Figures are taking on the rounded
curves, the graceful, slender line that
feminine figures should naturally wear.
And bodies are going to be the health
Ter and lovelier for it. AS for milady's
hair, once more 1t comes into its own,
once more 1t is truly "woman's crown
ing glory" The shingled boyish bob
grows longer and longer until 1t
reaches at least two inches, and some
times four inches below the ears The

der combining little hats are once more
called forth. The one redeeming fea-
ture OF the short cut, however, remains.
I have reference to the thinning proc
ess. Hair grows longer, but not heavier.
We discovered that the shape of most
feminine heads is really beautiful. So
the coIffure is still thinned to reveal
the lovely contours of the head.
Straight hair is taboo. It's feminine to
have curly locks.

Remember the wrinkle makers. Con-
slant frowning, scowling, respondent

reduction without compromising skin
care takes away the fatty UNDERLYING,
but the skin that has been stretched

wrinkles. Remember that worrying
over the wrinkles will often make
matters worse. And remember, too,
that your youth did not die in day,
the wrinkles worked their way into
face and neck-a little yesterday, a
little the day before, over perhaps
years without your knowing 1t. Don't
expect them to leave in day or
month. Be patient and you win be
rewarded with youth regained.
