WASHINGTON FASHIONS

The tailored suits that are
fast becoming popular. not only
for spring, but to wear right
now under winter coats. are di-
vided into two classes, those
that are strictly and classicly
cut, and those that assume new
details, feminine touches to keep
them FROM being so very severe.
The more classic suits are
usually chosen by women who
remember the tailleurs of other
years, and who citing to the ira
dition Of extreme simplicity,
while the suits with newer de-
tails are for the young girls and
young matrons, who want effect
only, and who remember no ira
ditions to live up to.
Shoulders Still Wide
Tucked shoulders are one Of
the new devices that are found
on suits, descended from the
epaulets Of other years, and
worked so that they give width,
but not so extremely. Wide
lapels are another change. for
although the severely tailored
suits may widen their lapels a
bit, they are not nearly as wide
as those on the suit Sketched.
Skirts are different, too. some
times wider at the hem, though
most Of them are either straight
or pleated, and hang in slim
lines, as you can see from the
illustration.
A Complete Costume
The white pique shirt front
that accompanies this suit is
another smart note, and the
checked silk tie comes with it,
too, giving q final mannish
touch. The suit Is Of oxford
cloth, q good sturdy mems
wooden, in either navy or OK
ford gray, and the coat Is the
chic short jacket that girls like.
The price, for the many pieces,
is only $3.50, and it comes in
misses sizes. Tomorrow we will
show some suits for women.
For fashion information, or
for the name Of the store where
you can find this suit, write Miss
LavilIe enclosing Self.addressed,
stamped envelope, or call Dis
trict $3.50, extension 190.

CHAPTER XLIII

thought Mary Faith, who was
still old-fashioned enough to be-

long ago when "by faith the
walls Of Jericho fell down."
And so after that one night
she did not worry, very much as
the long weeks went by without
q word from Kim. Autumn
came with its first cold days
and its burst Of wind and rain,

twice she was on the verge Of
calling him up to tell him
where they were. But she de-
cided not to. Il he was still in
the mood he had been in last
spring he would probably think
she was doing it just for effect.
The days Of swirling rain
went on; and Mary Faith, at
work in her office, could hear
