Two-Piece Dress
Looks Like a Suit

One of the most successful fash
ions for early fall is the two-piece
dress that looks like a suit. You
will see the smartest models with
the new two-piece look developed
in wool, in satin and in velveteen
this fall. This type dress makes you
look thin, for there is absolutely no
bulkiness round the waistline. Thus
the long-torso line is accentuated.
In some instances skirts are
scanned on to the new longer-length
jackets, which actually gives inn
preston of two-pfece. Often large
flap pockets are added, the newest
idea being for pockets made of fiat
fur.

and bright whenever HER man is
around. That's one reason why he's
continued to be HER man throughout
the years.
How often we see younger women,
careless in their appearance, careless
IN their dress. Careless in their use
OF cosmetics. And every young man
worth having knows that if the young
woman hasn't learned how to care for
herself, any cosmetologist or hair
dresser will be glad to take a few
minutes time and tell the young wo-
man what procedure and what cosme-
tics are best for her.
Another Tip from Grandma
Grandma is also careful with her
hair. She brushes it. She tints it to
avoid any drabness or discoloration.
She washes it carefully, and regularly.
She's careful to be neat and clean
all over not just in outward appear
ance.
Let's pause bit in the GOODNESS of
the Fall months to take another look
at grandma. The Fall of the year
rivals the Spring of the year for
beauty and romance. And grandma,
in the fall of her own life, can tell
granddaughter, in the spring of her
life, what to do and how to do it.
Beauty means romance and ro-
nance means greater beauty in life
What are your beauty problems?

Style Notes

New silhouette is sleek and
slim.
Taupe is featured color for fall.
Mannish influence prevails in
tailored and sports modes.
Hats are designed to show the
pompadour.
Wide use of velveteen is in
prospect.
Black suede is fashion-right for
accessories.
Fur colors in fabrics is new
autumn vogue.
It's satins, velvets, brocades for
the fall bride.
Center-front drapery is latest
styling treatment.

Patriotism Theme
Becoming Popular

Wear bejeweled flag pin. Every
body's doing it. Perhaps you like
the American eagle better and it is
spreading its jeweled wings on many
a suit lapel.
The vogue for patriotic themes ex-
tends to every phase of fashion.
The new star pattern prints are
very attractive. Red, white and
blue checked taffeta is being made
up into children's dresses. Mill
ners are making hat and bag sets
of red, white and blue jersey.

Pinafore Prettiness

Pinafore styles meant for play
and sports occasions have lost none
of their demurely decorative fea-
lures. Many of them have lace
edges on their pockets, collars and
cuffs. Ruffles at hens and Shout
der straps, shirring on pockets, and
quaint matching bonnets that tie
with a bow under the chin, are some
of the favorite details.

Here is an afternoon costume that
has immediate style appeal down to
the minutest accessory detail. The
dashing dramatic profile brims so
smart this season are the milliners'
joy because they sell at first "try-
on" because they are about as fat
tering as ever hat could be. The
hat worn by milady is of latest type,
the sort that women are clamoring
for as a favorite fashion first" for
fall. You'll love the belt she wears.
In this new belt of soft supple suede,
Criterion, the designer, achieves
that ever so desirable nipped-in-
waist effect that slenderizes the
figure so attractively. Its chased
gold buckle with swirls of suede will
find its way straight to your hearts
"a new model you will be wanting
because of its chic and charm and
because suede accessories are so
style-high this season.

New is the purse mounted on a
wide shoulder band as pictured. In
this instance the purse is really part
of a jewelry ensemble. Bright gold
and topaz are used for bracelet, ear
rings, purse clip and ring. Wings is
the motif for the purse clip and
small earrings. Both are jeweled
with topaz which also is used for
the finger ring. The jewelry en-
semble is worn with a three-piece
black wool crepe suit highlighted
with earth green suede accessories.
Very interesting is the hat which has
a crocheted wool crown with black
velour brim and upright quill in
black and white. Designers are en-
thusiastic over the use of hand cro-
Chef. Very new is the idea of a cloth
Jacket with crocheted sleeves of col
or-matched yarn, pockets of the cro-
Chef added. A new feature also is
insets of crochet, such as yarn-cro-
cheted triangles worked into a cloth
dress.

What is your trump card in the game
of romance?
It's your femininity! And YOU
should never forget that fact. Be a
pal. Be companion. Be helpmate
But remember that first, last and
always you are a woman, and that
man expects a woman to be feminine
l sometimes think that grand
mother was much wiser than todav's
modern girl. She never made the mis-
take of making herself cheap. No
lad could come and whistle her out of
the house and have her gratefully
follow him. He had to show her the
courtesy of coming to her door, hat in
hand.
Grandma also had a shrewd knowl-
edge that man does not crave the over
ripe fruit that is ready to drop into his
mouth. 1t is the peach that hangs
highest on the tree-that is the hard
est to get.
So she saved her kisses for the man
to whom she gave her heart and who
had filed a bona-fde proposal of mar
riage with her father.
I Nor did she feel that she had to pay
for being treated to a 15-cent soda.
And grandma stayed married
while one out of six of her grand
daughters visits the divorce court!
Beauty Means Romance
think grandma was wise enough
to study the man she hoped to marry
and to study the man she did
marry. And she was wise enough to
continue to be romantic after marri-
age.
Strangely enough, it is grandma
