Clever Fur Touches
All the flat furs, and some
of the others, will be used on
hats as we'll as on dresses,
suits and coats. They will be
used cleverly as on the cuffs
of gloves, in pert outstanding
bows, ears and quill effects for
hats, in bows, collars and
landings for dresses. They can
be more lavish on coats, and
fur-trimmed suits of the more
formal types will be smart as
they can be this year.
Brooches and clips Of fine
stones return to lend further
richness. You may wear your
real diamond brooch on your
hat, if you can remember to
take it off at the right time.
Clips matching those on your
dress are smart.

Decorating Points For 1894
Bv WILMA LAVILLE

here are five helpful suggestions
on how to treat walls, floors
windows, draperies and uphol-
Stery that are offered in the
current Good Housekeeping.
WALLS. The smart thing
now is plain plaster Walls-no
holdings Stimulating paneling-
with a nice cornice OF some
kind painted white, gray, or
gray-mauve, or a shade of deep
powdery blue. Cream, pale yell
lows, and greens are used but
are no longer new or smart.
Choose the newer tones. II
deep, dark shades appeal to you'
then select the dark Empire
green with a Greek-key border
in gold; the vivid Empire green
blue with contrasting motif in
cornice or in wallpaper border.
FLOORS. Three treatments
are smart; hardwood floor,
waxed, with scatter rugs, or one
large room-siz rug; carpeted
floor, choosing for living room
and bedroom plain colorS IN
taupe, brown, dark blue, or
shade to suit color scheme, or
some of the new weaveS in SELF
color; or linoleum floor.
WINDOWS. Venetian blinds
are new and smart. They should
be painted the color of the walls.
Glass curtains draped back may
or may not be used over them.
Some interesting new fabrics
for this use are of silk, cotton,
or gallZe with horizontal stripes.

So many things have been
written about this autumn'S
luxury that we've decided to
be very definite about it, as
to what to look for, how to
get our glamour. For it's not
a fuSsy elgance. It is rather a
look of richness and elegance
without anything suggesting a
cluttered look.
Feathers, But No Fuss
Feathers and fur lead off as
means to the end. And they
must be oh, so carefully used.
Not great punches of feathers,
scattered carelessly about, but
one small graceful jabot Of soft
feathers, or one stiff wing.

such as bird of Paradise or
aigrets are so closely initiated

Silk to Return
This Fall

French and American design
ers are setting the course Of
American women this fall along
the silky way. Fabric manufac-
turers have rallied round the
mulberry bush. Silk in its gen.
uine animal fiber is being shown
by the leading couturiers in the
most glamorouS collections in
recent years.
When you view the new silk
taffetas, silk crepeS, silk satins
and silk moires this fall, you
will want to sing that stanza
from THE Alice Blue Gown"
which so delightfully."- boasts:
"The little silk worm that made
silk for that gown
Just made that much silk and
crawled in the ground
For there never was anything
like it before
And 1 don't dare to hope there
will be any more!"
Smart women are joining the
Silk Parade, which begins in
New York the week of Septem-
ber 10 and sweeps across the
country the week of September
IT. With silk the fabric news
of the hour the silk worm is the
grand marshall of this parade.
A tremendous country-W e
move is being made by the In
ternational Silk Guild during
these weeks to educate women
to demand the truth about
fabrics so that when they go
to buy silk they will be sure OF
getting the pure animal fiber.
Although the words "crepe
satin taffeta . faille
moire velvet" so i'm
portant this fall in the fashion
shopping pi ture, grew up
within the silk industry they
no longer necessarily mean silk.
Therefore, if you want a dress
or a hat or any other garment
made of real silk, you must ask
for "silk crepe silk tatteta
silk faille silk moire
silk velvet" Price is no in
dication that you are getting
silk.
Women everywhere are max
ing an effort to be better buy.
ers. They want to translate
their dollars in terms of clothes

Silk has dominated the fash
ion picture for 1000 years. 1t
is eternal. Now women are
wearing again the heavy. stiff
silks their grandmothers wore.
Even sheer silk taffeta petit
coats were shown in the Paris
collections, and as many as three
of them worn to give a crinoline
effect to some of the new eve
ming gowns. The other silhou-
cite featured was thin and tube
like, some with high cowl neck

pr. William A. Wirts assertion that subsistence homesteading smacks of Communism and is part of concrete plan for bringing on proposed over- throw of the existing American social order may be less logical than his other charges It is certainly very illogical.
 There is nothing American than the oppor- tunity for Americans to their own houses, raise their own food and to make their own livngs and their own clothes and furniture It is scarcely more than century since this a common thing, the usual thing in the Ohio Valley.
 Down the Ohio up the Wilderness Road of Kentucky from the Gap, the State by the National Road came the pioneers bent on establish ing their homesteads-wth the aid and financial assistance of the Government, which made the new lands available to them an installment plan.
 These pioneers, ancestors, felled trees, built their homes by neighborhood house -raisings, and eventually joined forces in harvest fields, at threshings and huskng bees
 The present national set-up for subsistence home stealing makes it possible for families without employment to own their own houses and small plots, big enough to support them, through nicely calculated time payment plan If nstallment buying is un-American we have been long time finding it out.
 Dr. Wirt seems not to have studied subsistence homesteading plans At the Conference on Sub sistence Homesteading held at Dayton, Ohio, De- cember and g. under the inspiration of Dr.. George w. Rightmire, President of Ohio State University, he might have learned much The first units financed by leading Dayton business men, many of them heads of large industrial plants to tackle the problem of the unemployed. Enthus- iastic supporters of the movement manufacturers all the country numerous coal operators and American cities. Homesteading seems to be of the few governmental schemes to preserve indi- vidualism.
