much for the practical side Of the ques.
ton and now let us turn to the models
pictured with a view to studying each
individually since they are so charm
ingly illustrative of the current trend
to glitter, glamor and to dazzling eff
fects in the silk parade of fall and
winter fashions.
The beauteous model to the left is
fashioned of rich silk lame in a de-
lectable tone of blue, shot with silver.
The square decolletage is set off by
jeweled clips the like of which also
form the buckle for the belt. The
short sleeves are Interestingly cut on
kimono lines, giving fullness to sleeves
and shoulder.
Eastern influence in evening fashions
Is most pronounced. Note the sari
shawl of gold sequins which envelopes
head and shoulders, adding brilliance
to the stately black gown pictured to
the right, which is made of a hand
some silk velvety sheer. A runic effect
is simulated via an adroitly positioned
ruffle on the skirt whose princess lines
are slenderizing in a subtly sophisticat-
ed way. This ruffle ties at the back
in a clever pose. The smartest dressed
women regard black with the glittering
note as first in fashion this season.
Greatest enthusiasm is shown for the
cocktail dress or suit that adopts
street length, it being a new entrant
in the formal realm. The girl seated
is wearing such suit, its formality at
tested In the silk metal cloky tunic
jacket with the now-so-fashionable frog
fastening at the waistline. The after
noon dress Is of granny silk crepe in
the same aqua blue shade as the metal
cloky which fashions the Jacket. A
jeweled clip accents the draped neck.
The peaked beret with its ornamental
veil Is high-style in it's every detail

CTYLE prophets predict season Of
~ dazzling effects and sumptuous
dress. According to the signs of the
times women will sparkle from morn
ing to night this fall and winter.
Their silk velvets will be embroid-
cred with strass. Their wool-like silks
will be elaborated with gilt braid.
Sleeve ends and collars worked in a
solid mass of huge sequins will chal-
lenge the supremacy Of fur on eve
ming coats. Silk chiffons will be
beaded and silk crepes pailletted for
formal wear either in allover pattern
ing or combining their glitter to belts
and angel sleeves or scarfs. Gorgeous
silk lame lapels will adorn evening
tailleurs with which matching lame
turbans and blouses, bags and belts
will be worn.
Jeweled ornaments will hold the
Grapes of harem skirts and clasp
shirred and bloused bodices. Seed
pearls will make chokers (new high
collar fashiOn) and form passementerie
embrOidery-thus the story of glitter
and glamor might run on ad infinitum.
Fabrics weighted down with beading,
embrOideries, sequins and jeweled or
namentation must hold and not pull
out of shape. Women want their
cloky surfaced silks to stay in, their
crinkles to remain crinkled They
want TO be assured that their taffetas
will stay crisp, their chiffons and
crepes not to grow sleazy and sloppy
and so they are coming to realize
more and more that care and discrim-
inatiOn must be exercised in choosing
quality-kind fabrics. W ich explains
the reason why the demand for silks
that are pure silk (the inherent
elasticity of silk is importantly is
more insistent this season than it has
been in many a previous year. So

The Hunting Season.

MYTH the open season impending,
W certain spOrtsmen again are de-
claring that, because our hunters
should have more ducks and geese to
shoot at, the government ought to stop
the Alaskan natives from eating the
eggs of wildfowl. But isn't it sort of
true that those benighted Eskimos rob
the nests because they're hungry for
food-any food?
I've shot all over this country and
Canada-hope to keep on doing so, too
but I've yet to run across the gun
ner, professional or amateur, who was
out there shooting because his family
might starve to death if he didn't bring
home some ducks. Still, why worry
about lot of Yukon Indians? They
don't vote, don't even buy anything on
the installment plan.
For ore, I'm not against reducing
the bag-limit again this fall. In for
mer years, when 1 got back without
any game, I had to think up % sepa-
rate alibis, whereas now I need only
10 such. That, naturally, reduces the
mental strain. If kill duck on the
wing, it's profound shock to both
parties cOncerned-neither one of us
expecting that to happen.

HIGH HAT THE WORD
IN FALL MILLINERY
It's a high-hat season.

lCS nlSn-ndC SEASON.
One of the newest high hats in the
fall parade is the domino crown tur-
ban, which has rolled edge and a
little square topknot that sticks
straight up in the air exactly like an
enlarged domino.
It's shown in velours and suede,
with a small fiy-away bow in front,
and is a pretty trick with some Of
the new fur coats.
Another top-knot idea is developed
in a bonnet cap Of black felt, with a
big frou-frou bunch Of black satin rib
bon rising impudently from the top
front of the crown. Small scalloped
loops of black satin edge the bonnet.
The Tyrolean urge is still with us,
in casual brimmed sports hats of We
lours or felt, with high, peaked crowns
and perky quilts.

Wool Dress Can Be Worn
for Almost ANY Occasion

Jean Patou has created one Of those
all-time dresses which can be worn for
almost any occasion.
This dress is in brown wool with the
back of the bodice and the sleeves of
the taffeta in brown, green and red
plaid. The accompanying jacket of
brown wool has wide revers Of brown
caracul and turn-back cuffs of the
same fur. The costume is completed
by the Patou thimble hat in brown
felt. The narrow brim turns way up
In back and far down in front and q

Value of Proved Sires

As all dairymen know, it is not diff
ficult to find a registered bull that will
materially increase the productive ca
pacity of his daughters above that Of
their dams, so long as the latter do
not produce more than go pounds of
butterfat a year. But when a herd of
cows has been developed to the point
where their average yearly produc-
ton reaches 400 pounds, the finding of
a bull that is good enough to even
maintain that production is a real
problem.-Wallaces' Farmer.

"A what this country needs the
most.
Well, dear madam, let's see:
Would it be more citizens who'll
quit cussing the kind of government
they get, for long enough to go to the
polls, just once, and vote?
Or more patriots who'll quit waving
Old Glory long enough to help smoke
out some alien enemy hiding in the
folds of the flag he hates?
Or fewer of those anti-Rooseveltites
who still go on the apparent assump-
ton that when the President promised
to give business a breathing spell, he
meant sneezing spell?
Or fewer of those pro-Rooseveltites
who still think any honest criticism of
the man in the White House is just the
same as breaking the second command
ment?

say what this country needs most is a
