Eyes are being cast towards the
counters piled high with fresh, new
prints. New collections have come
from Paris, American designers are
obsessed with new ideas for printed
fabrics, and women are beginning to
clamor for them. There are a few
designs in black and white, for the
magpie idea is always smart. But
most of the new prints are color on
color, sometimes as many as five colors
being used in cne design. Almost all
the patterns are hand-blocked, or have
that effect. and the designs are more
highly stylized than they have been,
the naive field flowers having given
way to more sophisticated and exotic
posies OF course, not all the prints
are floral patterns. There is goodly
sprinkling of geometricS, and funny
little patterns Of flying fish, and gal
loping horses, or the music notes

TINE white fur coat or cape for
the gay festivities Of the holi-
day season makes handsome
L gift that will be most thank
fully received on Christmas morning
by any young lady who expects to be
going places, dancing, dining and en-
joying herself generally. Lapin from
the humble rabbit makes these lovely
wraps possible to secure at very rea-
sonable price as compared with regal
ermine, which runs into three and
four figures, and Furthermore it has
young look and suggests good times
rather than mere elegance. 1t also
has the advantage of being so much
warmer than most velvet wraps.
These wraps come In several lengths
and many styles, beginning with the
shorter hip length jacket with small
collar and very wide full straight
sleeves at $29.75. This is charming
model and one Of the least expensive
that we have found. The tnree-quar-
ter swagger coat with large cape COL
lar and full sleeves tapered to the
wrist is very lovely at $49.75.
One Of the most attractive coats we
have seen is the one shown at the
right of the sketch, with its hood to
wear over the head, its straight sleeves
and raglan shoulder yoke. The back
of this coat is especially good with
gathered fullness from the neckline.
WHITE capes are very smart, too,
w and in the center of the
sketch is one that we thought par
ticularly lovely. It has a large collar
that Is fastened with a rhinestone
clasp and arm Sits that are a great
advantage. This cape is longer in the
back and quite full. In order to allow
the collar to stand quite high 1t is
gathered into a band around the back.
It has a white crepe lining.
The coat at the left is more So
phisticated and better suited to the
debutante'S mother than the jeune
file. It combines chinchilla with
lapin and has a most interesting ar
rangement of the fur in the front with
revers closing over the coat itself,
which is fastened at the left side with
a stunning rhinestone ornament
which matches the belt buckle. The
large gray collar makes a fiattering

All Work
Should Be
Completed
Methodical Routin e
Helps to Stimulate
Interest.
BY ANGELO PATRT.

Tor more good reasons than one
children should be taught to fin
lsh the work they have begun. Put
ting of a task, neglecting a duty
until another time, is characteristic
of childhood. That is no reason Tor
allowing it to become positive ele-
nent in a child's character. We must
help the child to overcome his wearl-
ness. his lack of interest, his unwill-
ingness, and push him into finishing
his work.
This being so, teachers and parents
have to be careful in allott1ng tasks,
even in encouraging children to begin
elected projects. 1t requires a nice
Judgment to fit a task to child's
powers, keeping it within his ability
and yet making him exert himself a
little to achieve it. But that is what
we must try to do. If the work Is too
easy the child will be slack about its
performance, having slight feeling
of contempt for its babyishness. If
It is too hard he is genuinely fatigued
and distressed. In neither case will
be benefit. But when the work is
fitted to his needs and abilities he
can be led or driven into finishing it,
and, in consequence, he grows.
After aIloting or accepting the task
try to help the child parcel it out
so as to keep it moving, never doing
too much or too little at time. 1t
must be finished without loss of in
terest, without WEAKNESS, and to
standard of excellence satisfactory to
the child. Don't demand perfection,
but hold the worker to his best effort,
as well as you can. Remember he is
q child and works as child.
Above all else do not allow child
to leave today's work for tomorrow.
That only lays the stage for delay
next day. Soon the piled-up work be-
comes a threat. dread, and all hope
of a good result must die. Set the
time, fix the length of the working
period, hold the child to his schedule.
When you see he is tagging give him
a lift not by doing his work, but by
letting him take a few minutes rest
while you talk encouragingly OF his
achievements and picture the success
full end. Then he will go on re-
1reshed and in better heart.
Let the first steps of any new work
be short and easy. That gives the
child the feeling that he can succeed
In this new undertaking. Gradually
lengthen the time of working, intro
duce difficulties one by one. Let the
child rest after hard place has been
hurdled. Keep feeding out the work
and encouraging him. And always
leave each lesson, each step neatly
rounded out. That let's the child go
to play with a feeling of accomplish
r1ent behind him, a desire to continue
next day.
When the lesson is a failure, when
the work is spoiled, don't make fuss
about it. Let the child go to wash his
hands and get drink and take q
long look toward the horizon. While
he is away put his work in order, re-
rnovoe the traces of failure, put in a
few strokes for him, leave his job in
Sucn gOOQ shape tIldt nc wiz Oo SuI
prised and delighted. Then excuse
him for the day. But if you value the
child's growth through work, never
allow him to skip a lesson. shirk a
task. pile up trouble against tomorrow.
Finish each days work and start each
day with a forward step. So the child
grows.

only sophomore, go 10
- school dance with q boy? We
have debated the question and have
told her that I never let her older sis
ters 60 anywhere with a boy at her
age, but she says mothers nowadays
let their girls go with boys.
A WORRIED MOTHER.
Answer: Provided it is a nice party
and a nice boy, why not? Also pro-
Vided it Is not during the school week
Times have changed and customs
with them, and girls have dates much
earlier than they used to. 1t is hard
for those Of us who were raised in an
era when a girl wasn't supposed to
look at a boy before she was 18 to
accept this, but We have to realize
that all life has been Speeded up and
that a girl at 16 Is as old now as one
used to be at 20, or even % or %, in
our times. Modern society is forcing
house for children. Even babes in
their cradles are sophisticated. The
movies they go to, the books they read,
even the things they are taught In
school. make adoleScent girls more
worldly wise and more capable OF tax
ing care of themselves than their
mothers were when they got married.
Anyway, as Mr.. Cleveland said, cts
a condition and not a theory that
confronts us" when we come to deal
ing with the modern girl, and we have
to 20 part of the way with her and
give her q little liberty or she viii
lump the bars. The mothers who
won't let their daughters have dates
or 60 to parties make their daughters
consider themselves martyrs ana
ALLEVIATE themselves from their daugh-
ters' condolences. For the girl whose
mother won't let her do what the
other girls are doing decides that
what mother doesn't know doesn't
hurt her, and she bootlegs her
pleasures and her dates.

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: What is
~ your advice to wife who wears
herself out trying to keep her house
spiek-and-span, so that she has no
time or energy left to spend with her
husband and children?
NEGLECTED HUSBAND.
Answer: Cleanliness and order are
virtues that can easily be turned into
vices. and when they are overdone
they can wreck home much more
effectually than Slovenliness and dirt
can.
A home Is primarily place In
which q family can take Its ease and
comfort and 1t becomes no home II 1t

which every one goes in fear and

Yet all Of us know women who make
homes like that and who are such
cleaners that they literally sweep their
husbands and children out Of the
house into the streets, or clubs, where
they will not be continually told to
hang up their hats, or pick up their
papers and, for heavens sake, not to
drop cigarette ashes on the rugs.
Worse still, these meticulous house.

Cooking Hint.

Work butter soft, as you do when
baking a cake, to make thin sand
wiches. To speed the process add a
few drops of hot water before
working.
Quick breads, rolls, biscuits, muhins

GENEVA. October League Of
Nations experts plunged anew today
into their task of drafting historical
summary of the Ethiopian crisis,
to lead to the Leagues last word
warning against war in East Africa.
The official narrative of the conflict,
as far as it has gone, will be submitted
to the League Council Committee Of
Thirteen Thursday for consideration
in drafting recommendations for
peaceful settlement of the dispute.
If hostilities have not already begun
by Thursday, League circles reported,
the Council Committee may discuss
the possibility of preventative" sane
tions, already limited at by Anthony
Eden of Great Britain.
Seasoned observers Of League pro-
cedure, however, saw small likelihood
of any such sanctions ever going into

Geneva. IN fact, was shattered by re-
current, unverifled rumors that fight
ing already had begun between Italy
and Ethiopia.

halt the conflict before it could start

emerge from informal conversations
as to application of sanctions against
Italy.
League sources said certain small
countries, notably Austria and Switzer-

Serious doubts also were expressed
in League circles as to whether Hun

technically a member of the League

aloof during the entire discussion OF

Without these nations, in the opin-
ion of some League officials, effective
application of economic sanctions
would be extremely difficult.

B. & @. ASKS CUT
IN EASTERN FARES
I. C. c. Report Says Conditions
Differ From Time Rates
Were Sc Up.

By the Associated Press.
Taking the stand that passenger
fares in the East are too high, the
Baltimore g. Ohio Railroad Co. today
disagreed with the Pennsylvania Rail-
road and other Eastern lines which
insist that the Interstate Commerce
Commission should not interfere with
present rates.
The commission has before 1t re-
port by one of its examiners, pro-
posing that passenger fares through
out the country be fixed at 2 cents
a mile for coach travel and 3 cents
for use of pullman cars. This would
increase rates in the South, but
lower them East of the Mississippi and
North OF the Ohio and Potomac
Rivers.
All the Eastern railroads except thu
Baltimore g. Ohio recently filed ex'
ceptions to the examiners report.
1T is earnestly urged" the Balti'
more g. Ohio said. that the commits
sion take into consideration the COM
petition which must be met by the
railroads and its effect upon pas
senger transportation and also TIT
improvements anc increased facilitie!
that have been made in connection
with transportation by railroad.
1T seems clear that the reason why
there has been q constant decrease ir
the movement of passengers using thu
railroads is due primarily to the fares
which were established when condi.
lions were entirely different from
those of today"
