your knees get cold you may prefer
ski panties that are long enough to
cover the knees. These are splendid
in a combination of silk and cotton
with so per cent wool at 81 a pair.
Visitors from the South who are not
accustomed to our penetrating cold
will welcome something of this sort,
and visitors from the North who look
upon Washington as a Southern city
may be surprised at what We can
| show them in the way Of weather
variations.
THE three-piece suit, or any sort of
suit and topcoat, makes an ideal
outfit for inaugural day. sightseeing
and travel to all points. If it is very
cold, add a sweater or flannel blouse
beneath it, and if you are sight
seeing in warm buildings. you can often
check your topcoat and still be well
! dressed and comfortable.
Speaking of sweaters for under
coats, of course, you know about those
cunning Dalmatian sweaters like peas
ant blouses, fitting snugly and shorter
than the regulation sport sweater.
They are nice in the solid colors with
three rows of contrasting vivid colors
worked around the edges and across
the top of the one small breast pocket.
These sweaters have long sleeves and
button tightly from high round
neck.
Flannel blouses are good for cold
days during the next couple Of months.
They are called jacket blouses and
come in all colors at $2.29. Grand
for school, too.
Scarfs make attractive gifts to take
back home and already they are show
ing new Spring prints in lovely colors
as well as some very interesting hand
blocked thin woolens. There is a
wide selection for both dress and
sports wear in all the shops.
QUITS are again scheduled for big
- Spring season. The tailored
suit, the sports type and the
ever-popular three-piece ensemble.
Sketched at top is three-piece suit
of reddish-brow wool with light
fluffy fur collar, which has tuxedo
revers on its boxy swagger coat, with
the points of the revers on the under
jacket overlapping the outer coat
where the fur collar ends. The back
has a stitched inverted pleat. Another
three piece model comes in a lovely
honey beige with wolf collar.
A two-piece suit with lots of new
details is of a natural beige mixture
with collar, revers and lower edge
finished with a band Of stitching
There are two breast pockets with ar
outward swing to them instead OF be-
ing pressed fiat, making good mode
for the extremely slender figure. Un-
like most suits, this one is belted. i

Very much in the spirit OF tn
"Red, white and blue" is one o
those unlined Shetland suits in roya
blue with its Junior miss" look o
abbreviated jacket closely buttone'
from the collar down that are to b.
found in the resort section. But wh.
not wear it under a coat in town
There is no law against it!
In the man-tailored suits one shol
is showing a nice group at $13.95 ant
1$1695 in grays, tans, browns ant
dark blues. There Is sharkskin ant
herringbone weave, that nice bank
er,s gray" that looks so expensive
and chalk stripes. These suits com
in both single and double breaste'
models and are the young busines
girls best friend. They were goo'
last season and they will be as goo'
or better now; in fact, they know n
season, for many girls wear them al
through the year. There is going t
be lot to say about suits from nov
on.
