after fireplaces. flowers and

the bare floor. and dust the

twice a week, such as the

But this year your skirt may
be the most interesting part Of
your costume. It may have its
lines broken at some point, or it
may have details about it that
lifts it out of the ordinary.
TUNES for Good Line
Peplums, and more popularity,
tunics, are two ways of varying
skirts this fall. You're no doubt
familiar with them already.
TUNES flare from skirts of all
types, always fairly slim, but
with a simmer skirt beneath so
that there's an obvious differ
ence between them.
Then, there are little tricks,
such as buttoning a skirt all the
way up the front or down the
back that gives them individu.
atty. And there are obvious
pIacKeIS, and big pockets that
trim them up considerably. Big
buttons do their share, too.
Wrap-around skirts are back,
because they hang so straight
and give a slim appearance.
Some of the best are simply
made Of two panels, front and
back, which overlap far at the
sides, and hang straight as a
string. Others wrap at the
front or the back.
Slit Skirts Popular
But Sits in skirts are the
newest innovation. Paris does

manner, having skirts open to
the knee, with a length of stock
ing showing. But Americans
want their skirts done in more
conservative manner, so that
most Of the Sits in evening
clothes are only a few inches
long, going up from the hem,
and are not extreme at all.
Daytime skirts are slit in Paris

The subject is too huge to
cover in even a few short
articles, but it is we'll to con-
slider at least the general types,
and what goes well with each
type room.
Select With Great Care
Orientals are marvellous, Of
course, but they should be
chosen with even more care
than cheaper rugs. First, be-
cause they last so long, and
secondly because they are so
hard to put other things with.
Be sure your room is large
enough for an Oriental rug. If
the rug is too big for the room,
or too dominant, it will seem
to leap at you as you enter,
and it will dwarf everything
else, including the furniture,
that you put with it.
Scatter OrientalS are fine,
and big ones are good, too, if
they are right for the room.
They are especially good in
eighteenth century interiors,
as the colors blend well with
dark walnut and mahogany.
Try Rugs at Home
Nearly all people who sell
fine rugs will send them out
for you to try on your floors,
and that is the only possible
way to buy one. 1t might be
beautiful in the store, but might
be simply terrible in the smaller
rooms of your home.
If you can start with the rug
as a basis of your decoration,
fine enough, for the beautiful
rug colorS are excellent to build
a room around, matching each
good tone with the fabrics you
use in upholstery and draperieS.

The Smart
Woman's Clothes

A fascinating picture OF how
the smart woman will look this
winter is sketched by Miss Helen
Koues, director of fashions for
Good Housekeeping. In the day.
time, she advises, have slim
close fit to your clothes. Wear
little jewelry. Have a definite
color scheme. Select a medium
sized hat in a toque, beret, or
tricorne of felt or velvet, to
match your costume. In the
evening, step out formally and
beautifully, and be something
different, more stately, and more
lovely than your daytime self elf
Wear stiff rich taffeta, MILL
ner's velvet, and dazzling lanes.
Brush your hair up, though you
may wear a curled bang. Make

nails have color and shine, and
that your hair glistenS whether

tive scheme, it is hard to fit q
rug into it.
The same things apply to
domestic rugs with pattern In
them. You must select the pat
tern with as much care as you
would a whole house full OF fur
niture. And remember to pick
out colors that you are willing to
have repeated again and again
in your rooms.
Plain Color Carpet
Broadloom carpet solves the
problem for many people. There
is an almost endless range OF
colorS to select from, and grades
for almost any price you want
to pay. Then too, design can be
made right in your carpet, and
is very smart in Empire or other
classic modern rooms and in con-
temporary interiors too.
If you have nice little scatter
rugs you want to use, you can
put them right over a neutral
toned broadloom carpet, with ex'
cellent effect. Scatter rugs are
all right on a good bare floor,
too.
Linoleum Of good quality IS
now considered an excellent
covering for floors Of almost any
type. It is advisable in nurseries,
in entrance halls, even some
times in living and dining rooms,
with good looking rugs over 1t.
Linoleum can also have a de-
sign in it, and smart effects can
be worked out for you.

Chinese Influence Displayed
In Smart Costume
By BEAU McALLISTER

Some gals can "wear" clothes-and some just
can't. A CLOTHES horse'-and thus we designate
that certain type of figure which adapts itself to
practically any models really born, and not made.
Two fine CLOTHES horses" are Frances Rust and
Mary DuBose. We decided this with much GER
tainty the other day when we saw them having
round of golf. Mary wore a slightly flared skirt,
tight fitting around her waist and hips, and made
of heavy, rough worsted. With this she wore
white tailored blouse and one of those new wide
brimmed felt hats with tailored brim. Her shoes

too, usually for greater ease in
walking, as they are all ex-
tremely narrow. But we prefer
an inverted pleat, or if we
have a slit, it is really part of
a wrap-around effect, so that
there's little stocking or slip
shown. Sits never seem to go
above the knee in any country
or type of costume, which ought
to be a relief to the conserva-
tives.

struggling to rid the Stock EX-
change of its House of Morgan
domination.
Under the Stock Exchange Con-
troll Act, the SEC is directed to
report to Congress on the rules
and election methods Of stock eX-
changes.
The findings on the New York
exchange, it is whispered, are hot
and bliStering.
It's election system, according to
the SEC report, operates this
way:
The administration in power Sc
Iects five of it's number to pick a
nominating committee. This COM
mittee, in turn, chooses a slate of
officers. There is no alternative
ticket.
Exchange members vote either
for those hand-picked for them,
or they don't vote at all.
BY this "rotton borough" system,
it is claimed that the Morgans
have been able to keep pompous
old Guarder Richard Whitney, as
president of the Exchange despite
strong opposition.
That the exchange rulers see
the hand writing on the wall and
are trying to stave off federal in
tervention is indicated by their
action last week in naming two
dissenters on the 1885 nominating
committee.
But the maneuver failed to
placate the opposition.
Inside word is that it refuses to
be satisfied with the sop of a
minority representation on the
nominating committee, demands
not merely a e-cleaning of
incumbent officials, but liberaliza-
ton of the election system.
