WooL.and-fur ensembles 4 tor
Wv brisk autumn days are the
most talked of costumes among
new arrivals for brisk autumn days.
Precious furs are combined with
very fine sheer woods in stunning
formal daytime modes, while popu-
lar sports furs such as kidskin and
leopard are teamed with novelty
woods in outfits that will add extra
glamor to the football stadium and
campus promenade this fall.
F'ingertip and three-quarter length
jackets and capes are favored in
these costumes, as this type of styl-
ing plays up the smart contrast be-
tween cleaning fur and dull-sur-
faced wool used for the lining of the
coat and for the accompanying frock
or suit.
Capes appear in both swagger and
formal styling in any number of the
most striking wool-and-fur ensem-
bles. The new -shouldered
slim capes that are making their
appearance in advance showings
are creating no end of excitement for
they are so startlingly different from
anything in the way of daytime
wrap seen in recent years. For real
swank and dramatic sensation
a likely formula calls for square
shouldered cape of safari brown
Alaska sealskin which, when it
swings back, shows lining Of sheer
rabbit wool in matching brown, and
fitted frock of the same sheer wool
with touches of gold lame at the
high collar and tailored cuffs-a
true aristrocrat this in fashion S
realm. The belt buckle of the frock
and the neck clasp of the cape are
of handsome hammered metal. See
this patrician two-sone pictured to
the right in the illustration (same
cape closed, in tiny inseD.
Soft rabbit wooden in muted
green shade styles the nicely cut
and detailed frock shown to the
left. The identical rabbit wooden
also lines the gray moleskin swag-
ger coat of this smart fall ensemble.
Which reminds us that style ex-
perts are all agog in regard to gray
this season, especially in respect
to furs. Silver lame accents the
buttoned narrow gilet and edges the
pocket tips. AS further attraction
the gilet has a row of lame-covered
tiny buttons. The diagonal scanning
of the dress is noteworthy.

Knitted Dinner Suits

Everything seems to be tailored
these days including evening
clothes. Some Of the new dinner
suits are knitted in exquisite yarns
which are used to form intricate
patterns. Silk yarns sometimes
are used for these dresses which
come in a variety Of shades.

Fresh Milk

In many countries in which
goats milk is used extensively,
most housewives are SO skeptical
of it's freshness that the goatherds
drive their herds from door to
door and milk the animals in the
customers presence. Women liv-
ing in apartment houses also insist
upon this kind of assurance, even
when they are too indolent to go
down to the street, so the goat has
to scramble up several flights of
stairs to be MIXED in the kitchen.

Know Your Opinions

It is more important to know
than to defend your opinions.
No one in the crook business
ever seems to realize that it is
overdone and therefore unprofit
able.
Laugh at the world if you will,
but don't whine about it.

The National

Blossom Time" the fascinating
Franz Schubert operetta comes to
the National for one week, begin
ming Monday evening, February
II with matinees Wednesday and
Saturday.
When Blossom Time" was orig.
inally produced 1t was hailed as the
most beautiful, refreshing musical
play ever seen in America and time
has seemed to enhance that lavish
praise.
Based on the romance and music
Of the great Viennese composer,
and embelliShed with the music
and themes Of more than twenty
Of his immortal compositions,
Blossom Time" created a furor
that caused it to be demanded
In every city, town or hamlet that
boasted an auditorium Of sufficient
size to justify its presentation.
And now, after many seasons Of
continuous touring, the piece
wherever presented continues to
find as warm q welcome as ever.
Like the old classics, time has not
dimmed, only added to, its beauty.

HE LACKED COURAGE
Until the final returns are In
there will be no satisfactory de-
CiSion in this debate. I side with
Warner Brothers. Since happy
endings, when forced on authors
as o formula essential to comply
with Hollywood tradition, invari-
ably register as artificial and lack
conviction. Much to be preferred
Is the tragic finale Of Ceiling
Zero" as against, for instance, the
wholly bogus finish Of Jean Har-
lows "Riff Raft"
The point that gives Variety's
opinion force is that the urge to
live Is stronger within the average
human than the urge to love. Yet
had Leslie Howard lived in the
CLOSING scene Of "The Petrified
Forest" he couldn't have been
other than a high-claSS literary
bum, without the courage to face
Q world that had bruised him.

fall in love before he had finished

be bathed in tears. And so, !

ETHAN FROME" IS SAD
More and more Hollywood is
breaking away from the idea that
al pictures must end with Q kiss

The Old Maid" which won
the 1885 Pulitzer play prize and

sadness and those moments which
will leave only the most hardened
in the theater dry-eyed.

"CHILDREN's HOUR" PLANS
There is . strong prospect that
Washington will see '"The Chill
dren's Hour" before the current
play season has become history.
The play Is now running in its
second season at the Maxine Elliot
Theater, in New York, and playing
to handsome profits. It happens,
however, that Samuel Goldwyn
has made q movie founded upon
the play, with Miriam Hopkins,
Merle Oberon and Joel McCrea
featured. They call the picture
''TheSe Three" since the viii
Hays office would not permit Hol-
lywood to issue the feature under
its original title. It is a fair pre-
sumption. too, that the story has
been considerably deodorized as
to content in order to conform to
the decency code.
Produced Shumlin has an
nounced that the play will con-
tinue regardless of the fact that
the movie version may soon create
New York opposition. The general
opinion Is that "Children's Hour"
viii take to the road very soon for
engagements in key cities before
''These Three" arrives on the
screen. .,
Chicago and Boston have al.
ready decided that "The Chill

palitieS. The thumbs down deci-
sion Of the censors Scorched Pro

London has also frowned on the
play, embarrassing the producer
in his preparation for an English
production.
