a soft, sheer wool. And No. 1471-B,
though originally designed for wool. is
too good an illustration of the trig
little two-piece frock, that is taking
plaid velveteen so smartly these days,
to pass by unnoticed.
There are very special style points
in the first two frocks mentioned.
First, they are slim, simple and with
out unnecessary bulk at the shoulders
or in the skirt. Sleeves are straight,
wide or fitted. Though the trimming
in each case is important, it Is
subordinate to the cut of the dress,
which, in turn, is designed to exploit
the fabric Panel lines are at their
best in velveteen; pleats, when there
are any, must be narrow and discreet.
This year fashions are inspired by
every period in history, but you will
hear more of the directoire than of
any other. Frocks that hint of higher
waistlines, military shoulders. the
braid, tassels and gold buttons that
adorned the velvet waiStcoats of the
gentlemen of the court, are all part
of the picture (l463-B). Priscilla COL
lars and pointed cuffs from our own
Colonial period have their modern
versionS-smartest in heavy white

The ban on color in town has
lifted, so don't limit yourself to black
when there are so many exciting
street colors which lend themselves
to velveteen and to harmonious blend
ing or sharp contrast with both cloth
and fur coats-a gunmetal gray, for
example, or russet brown and cedar
green. The wealth of new blues might
make you think it was Spring were
it not for their purplish cast, which
gives them a decided Autumn tang.
Grape blue, deep but vibrant shade,
is among the most talked about. If
your coat is dark blue with black fur,
as it may well be this season, a dress
with black and blue stripes has very
new look, or a plain, just bit lighter
shade of blue may be wisely selected.

is smart with accents of grayish blue.

Ve|veteen Style Smart for Street or S ports

High-cut oxfords, with much decora-
ton in the shape Of perforations, eye
lets and incrustations of contrasting
feathers, are smart. Colored foot
wear makes news, with green suede
or leather the favorite.
For strict sports wear, English type
shoes are high lighted in calf and al
ligator. Ghillies and saddle foot
wear, with sturdy low heels, are
varied by new trimmings, such as the
big metal monogram now to be seen
on the saddle or high tongue of sports
shoes.
No boots as yet-but look for the
CATERS that will keep ankles warm
and chic at the November games!
They are an omen that high shoes
are on their way.

all are the velveteen mittens, roomy

THERE Is no rule about choosing
the hat to accompany your vel

versatility.

cisive solution in war, you will i'm
mediately have your new enemies upon
your head.

make you cry or sneeze to desperation,

you outright.
"They would be rained upon you
from the skies and you could not
escape.
There is no telling what would
happen If you were not prepared. The
precautions are simple and reduce your
danger to minimum.
"Of all the lessons you have ever
had, this one, brought to you through
the phonograph, will be the most valu-
able. Be warned"
