ming. Many suits appear to be
dresses and many dresses are hard
to distinguish from suits.
AS to materials, woolens hold the
place of prominence at the top Of
the list. They are being used for
evening dresses. as well as for every
hour of the day. Smooth woolens
like broadcloth, velour and duvetyn
are being revived for formal daytime
use. Velvets are most important for
afternoon and evening and metal
lanes for cocktail frocks. Rich
brocades of satin or metal are used
for jackets with plain black afternoon
or dinner frocks.
Embroidery Is extensively used in a
trimming on wool and, in fact, bands
and borders are very prominent fea-
lures of the present mode. both en-
broidered and braided, and also Of fur.
THE color calendar changes with
the SEASONS. We already know
the insisbaEe on black through all
phases Of fashion. Among formal
coats 80 per cent are black, with dark
raiSin brown next in line and wine
and spruce green following along. In
general, deep" and dull" describe
the tone of the colors most frequently
employed Wine red, prune brown,
blue green, purple blue and some vio-
let for evening are the ensemble Of
color fashions in the new collections.
American beauty Is named among the
bright hues and sage green is smart
green to watch. Ginger tan has a
more spicy tone than the reddish tan
of early Spring. Beige and gray will
be much worn, especially for coats
and hats.
Late news just received from New
York speaks of sophisticated black
frocks for night club and restaurant
dining with hemlines touching the
toes. These are worn with small
black hats over smooth coiffures, CIV
ing svelte, worldly air to the cos
tunes Outstanding among them is
an outfit of anthracite seQuins-black
as coal-combining skirt and bolero
jacket with a sleeveless bodice of
coronation red crepe. Another Grim
kled black crepe shot with gold is
fitted princess gown with long-sleeved
bolero of the same material.
The three ensembles shown above
have been chosen for their outstand-
ing smartness for different occasions.
At left is a black woolen sport dress
with a f1ared skirt and suede sash of
fame red worn under short boxy
fur coat. The cone-shaped hat not
only points skyward but has feather
fancy that goes still higher. This
outfit will take its place among the
smart spectators at the Fall foot ball
games.
At center is the travellers choice for
any weather. The buttoned-up jacket
suit of brown covers tucked crepe
blouse of the same color and is itself
covered with an imported brown and
beige tweed coat faced with safari
brown seal. All accessories are in
keeping with the needs of the trav-
eler. World cruise, or across the con-
tinent, you'll be ready for any degree
of cold in this clever ensemble.

Family ties are strong. It takes
more backbone than most men and

Brother Bob shame-facedly admits
that the coal is out and the grocery

where she sees that her sisucrs and
brothers have defaulted on their obli-
cations and dumped their burdens on
her shoulders; where she sees them in
dulging in luxuries that she cannot

served to make the weak weaker, the

The moral of all of which is that If
we don't look out for ourselves. no one
else is going to look out for us. Our
first duty is to provide for ourselves,
and then we can give what We have
left, but prudence comes before gen.

BY EMILY POST.

NEAR MRS. POST: My husbands
~ mother has studied painting a
great part Of her life. She gave US
two of her pictures when We were
married, which have occupied prom
inent places in our living room. She
has sent us several others in the last
few years, which I have simply not
hung because our house needs more
color than is supplied by any Of these
pictures. But now comes a day OF
reckoning is coming to pay us
a long delayed visit. and I am very
much afraid she will feel hurt by this
evident lack of appreciation of her
work. I might hang these pictures for
the time she is here, but for my two
small talkative children who are sure
to say something. Frankly, I don't
know what to do, but I certainly
don't want to hurt her.
Answer: don't know what you can
do unless you follow the custom of the
Japanese and tell her that you change
them about and hang few at time
and then you put those away and
bring out others. She will easily
understand that no matter how much
you really care for these pictures you
could appreciate two alone much
better than when so many are to-
gether that each detracts from the
other. Moreover, it is possible that
they might seem more becoming to
the house if you did this very thing!
Perhaps you might start this plan at
once and change them several times
before she comes so that your two
talkative young children can testify
that you are in the habit of changing
them about.
Dear Mrs Post: Will you help me?
Recently my husband was transferred
by his company to this town. Before
and since We settled here, the wife of
one of the higher-uppers in this COM
pany has been so generous and kind
to us. She has been of invaluable help
to me in giving me information about
the right tradespeople, and when we
were still torn up she asked my young
child and me to lunch with her. I'm
not sure just what may do to show
her how much I appreciate all she has
done for me. Will you suggest what
this might be without overstepping
the bounds of the most conventional
behavior?
Answer: Having already been invited
by Mrs. "Higher-upper" to lunch, it
is certainly quite proper that you invite
her to whatever you can in return. It
might be simplest to ask her to come
in some afternoon for a cup of tea.
The fact of having moved into a new
house. gives you more than ordinary
excuse for your impulse of hospitality.
Or, If you feel that this does not half
repay her kindness, and you knit or
embroider unusually well, you might
perhaps make her some very small
personal present and send it with a
note of thanks for her kindness to
you.

of the Emperor Seun-Ho. in 1120
A. D., for the amusement of the wom-
en- of his court. So once again, the
women started it."
The first cards to be manufactured
in Europe Of which we have definite
record we're made in France, as early
as 1892. They appeared in Italy
about 1925, and in England prior to
1853 The act of Edward Nv passed
in that year expressly forbids the
importation of playing cards, because
it damaged the domestic product. A
duty on cards was levied in the time
of James l. These early European
cards we're made first with stencils
and then with wooden blocks, thereby
becoming early engravings.
1T HAS not been determined whether
these very first cards were of the
type now known, or whether they
were the tarrochi, or tarots which are
still to be found in some parts OF
France and Italy. A pack of tarots
consisted of 78 cards divided into four
suits. OF these, % we're emblematic
picture cards, such as death" "the
day of judgment" cupid" fortune. ="
etc. These we're not played in order,
but their appearance had some special
significance; death" swept the board,
for instance. and strength" took
double stakes from the pool
There are beautiful specimens of
these tarot cards preserved in libraries
and museums in Europe One pack was

designed and embellished, and sent to
him for the purpose of diverting him

from the grim shadows into which his
damaged mind was descending.
The Spanish or italian cards Of the
time had no queen. The Persian cards
were the only ones iii the East to use
female figure. 1t first appeared in
Europe on the French product.
THE game of tarochi was exceedingly
popular-so much so, in fact,
that it soon became a passion even
with the clergy. In 1404 the Synod Of
Langres especially forbade the amuse-
ment to wearers of the cloth because
of the terrific scandals resulting from
its practice. In Italy the monks
shuff1ed and dealt and gambled heav-
lily, stalking everything from their own
possessions to the church's money.
There is one story told of brother
who placed his rosary on the table,
lost that; staked his immortal soul;
lost that, too and in despair committed
suicide. In Spain the card-playing
spread like wildflre. Columbus and
his sailors undoubtedly played tarochi
on the historic voyage Of 1892. The
army and the navy got no work done
because of the gaming going on all
the time.
The reaction. of course. was in
evitable. Powerful leaders among all
classes took a hand. and crusade
against gaming was instituted. Cards
were burned in the streets, and strict
prohibition against tarochi-playing
was strongly enforced in the churches
and in the military services. Grad
ually, however, the ban lost its teeth,
and card-playing was resumed in va
rious forms. But the frenzy that had
swept the new playthings to such dizzy
heights of influence on the morals and
manners of nations was never really
renewed.

silhouette, with, of course, many modi-
fications. The high hat is often of
supple material that may be adapted
to the individual; the slim waistline
may be simulated by clever tricks, and
the skirt flare may be a peplum,
tunic or flare at the hem itself.
There is a background Of historical
interest that we shall be hearing about
for many months. so let's get clear
picture of it right at the start. The
periods most drawn upon for historical
costume are the Revolutionary and
Directoire-those two epochs that
made the last years of the eighteenth
century SO colorful in France, and the
early twentieth century during the
reign of King Edward VII, together
with the preceding period of Vic
torian primness.
First in fashion interest is the Di-
rectoire period, from which We have
borrowed the high waistline, the mar
row slashed skirt, the swallowtail
jacket, high postillion crowned hats
and gold decorations. These fashion
influences reflect, in large measure,
the dress of the dandies of the period.
The Edwardian influences derive
from an era of formality and are seen
in princess lines, flared skirts, orna-
mentation Of embroidery. braid and
beads. We also find that the pompa-
dour was fashionable during this Pc
riod. The snugly fitted bodices with
demure outstanding collars are Vic
torian.
Other sources of inspiration also
marked the recent Paris openings,
among them the Eskimo parka, a
knee-length coat trimmed with bands
of fur, which has been adapted by
Louiseboulanger to evening use and
made of gold lame. The Hungarian
cZardas dancers costume is echoed in
peplum type of suit with fur border
and wide inset belt.

as to specific points of interest
