ically, vet in ways conspicuously novel
and out-of-the- ordinary is the scarf.
The latest gesture of fashion is the
coat, suit or ensemble which has g@l-
erous scarf of self-material which fs
made to ''do tricks" according to the
whlm Of its wearer. We are pfctur-
ing just such a model to the right in
the illustration. This stunning coat
is one of several SchiapareIlf costumes
ordered in Paris by Duchess d'Ayen,
who recently visited in America. Note
the wide tucks which border each side
Of this scarf. The fact that CORE
spending tucks trim the sleeves Is sig
nfficant, in that a most important step
In the new scheme of things is to styl-
ize the scarf with the self-same trim
ming treatment as the rest Of the COS
tune, SO that IT becomes am integral
part of the coat or Dress as the case
may be.
Frequently, scarfs Of material
matched to the coats they trim are so
fashioned as TO permit tapping Enem
over and buttoning in smart gilet effect,
which at front-view gives the impress
sion of a two4piece garment since the
scarf drops down over the skirt por-
ton and is; belted In like q blouse.
There Is no doubt but what the fur
less coat will stand forth conspicu-
ously this spring. 1t may be collar
less or not, but In either event, some
sort of scarf is' inevitable. Particu-

Backward Draping ON New
Coats for Early Spring

Coats made of soft wool for mid
season and early spring wear are de-
signed on slender fitted lines with large
fur collars draped backwards. Their
sleeves. often enlarged at the top,
show tendency to backward draping
between the shoulder and elbow.
Innings of contrasting color oc.

and regulations for these mort
cages will be ready by the first
week of November. This is the
estimate given by James A. Moi
fet, Federal Housing Administra-
tor.
The date is much earlier than
had been expected. Bankers and
others experienced in the mort
gage field predicted that 1t would
be at least six months after the
Federal Housing Administrator
was formed before regulations on
the mutual mortgages could be
made available.
The subject is an intricate one,
covering dozens of differing state
laws: dozens of differing practices
in the field; and dozens OF ques
tions on the uses to which the
new trusts may be put.
Tribute to Organization
The subject is also an import
ant one, inasmuch as the ao-
vent of these mortgages may
change the entire course OF mort
gage granting and marketing
Anything calculated to change an
economic fundamental must be
carefully considered before being
put into operation.
That the Federal Housing Ad-
ministration will be able to make
these mortgages available several
months ahead of the predicted
date is a tribute to the effici-
ency of the organization with
which Mr.. Moffett has surround
ed himself.
Mr.. Ardrey, the new deputy ad-
ministrator, has had much expert
ence in the banking and mort
gage fields. He was first pri-
Vate banker in Texas, but later
went to New York city where he
was vice president of the National
Bank of Commerce.
In 1929 he left this institution
to assume the position of eXecu-
tive vice president and director
of the Guaranty Trust Company.
He retired in 1888.
The other deputy administrator
is Albert L. Deane, who is in
charge of Title One of the Ma
tional Housing Act that title
which makes possible the mod
ernization" loans by which build
ingS of all types throughout the
country are now being repaired
and improved.
Mr.. Deane has had a long ca
reer in the loan field, having been
president of the General Motors
Acceptance Corporation, and later
OF the General Motors Holding
Corporation.

The Drunkard" to Have Premiere
Toniqht at Roadside

Tonight begins the production
OF the foremost melodrama OF
the nineteenth century, "The
Drunkard," by the Roadside The
ater at the Halpine. (MdO barn"
theater. The melodrama COM
pany, under the direction Of An
ton Hardt, returns for their third
and final presentation of this
summer season. The play will
be continued every night through
out the week at $40 p. m.
A heavy advance sale Of seats
for every night in the week points
to the same capacity houses that
Murder in the Red Barn" and
''Welcome to His Excellency," the
last two productions of the Road
siders, drew.
"The Drunkard" will be pre-
sented as a revival of a revival,
differing somewhat from the pro-
ductions in San Francisco, Chi
cago, New York, and elsewhere.
Instead of the 1840 settings and
costumes-the decade in which
the play was first produced-the
era of the gay nineties" will be
suggested. 1t was during these
years that "The Drunkard" was
most popular as temperance
propaganda.
The musical accompaniment by
Louis Malone and the entre'actes
will further carry out this period.
The original Boston Museum act
ing version is being used, how
ever. AS an example of the tenn
perance melodrama, this play had
no peer. None of its imitators
so pleased nineteenth century
audiences or so amuse present
day theatergoerS.
Popular members of the melo-
drama company who are prom
inently cast are Eugene Kressin,
