Nothing less than a sensation,
that's what the new and dramatic
fur-faced broad-brimmed hats are
creating. The model pictured tells
the treason why" every woman Of
fashion is sending in a rush order for
a fur-faced hat to match her coat.
The hat and coat ensemble shown
here is of beaver. It is made of
such smooth furs as Persian lamb,
black sealskin, leopard and other
spotted varieties, also ermine for
evening wear. These repeat again
and again in millinery to match the
fur coat or fur trim on the suit.
For those who can indulge in fur
luxury, an important new fashion is

that the white fur theme in Access

DO NOT decide on the new coat,
dress or suit until you have thor
oughly looked into the matter of
the Observation-Disclosures vogue
that is fairly taking the world of
fashion by storm this season. So
inspired have designers become in
this direction they are playing up
the theme with all the cunning and
imagination at their command. The
idea is being exploited to the ut
most, and as the movement devel-
ops, the possibilities offered unfold
in endless chain.
Black velvet sleeves, yoke and
front panel have been used with tell
ing effect to give an assuredly new
this-season look to the smart two
piece wool jacket-dress shown to the
left in the illustration. Yes, indeed,
you will show fashion alertness if
you see to it that your first town
dress flaunts accents of velvet. Cum
ming style details that add to the
prestige of this costume are the
barbaric pair of clips, the centers
of which are huge cabochon emer-
aids, the huge silver fox muff and
the veil-draped black felt chapeau
worn with it.
The other velvet trimmed model
shown here is one of those all

which best dressed women are ac-

Proper care of the eyes is, of course
necessary to good health since eve
strain Is not only physically exhaust
ing but frequently results in severe
headaches and, if continuous and severe
enough, will mean that you eventually
have to wear glasses. But at the pres
ent moment let's consider the eyes from
the standpoint of beauty rather than
health.
Beautiful eyes need not be execution
ally large or of an unusual color
Sparkling eyes, with the whites verv
clear and the irises sharply defined can
make the plainest face seem lovely. But
you can't have clear, shining ewes if
you stay out till all hours of the night.
constantly read in a poor light and
generally mistreat the "windows of
your SOUL" Your eyes, like everything
else, require care if you would have
them beautiful.
Sleep an Important Factor
Here are a few important rules to
observe in the care of your eyes. First
Of all, get at least eight hours of sleep
nightly. How many times have you
heard this, and in how many different
connections. Sleep is the greatest
beautifier known, and the woman who
disregards it will pay in loss of beauty.
Before using your eyes for any length
of time, make sure that the lighting is
proper, neither too little nor too much.
Too bright light is just as hard on the
eyes as too little. When going out in
the glazing sun of summer, protect your
eyes either with a wide-brimmed hat, a
sun shade or dark glasses. Squirting
against the sun causes little lines
around the eyes which detract from
their beauty.
If you use your eyes a great deal

Jerkin Is Exciting,
Important Fashion
Offers New Double = Duty
Treatments.
By CHERIE NICHOLAS

Here's news that is news! It is
the debut of new star on the stage
Of fashion, and jerkin is its name.
Everybody's talking about these
newcomers in the style parade.
There is a wild scramble, especially
among the younger smart set, to be
the first to f1aunt a gay fattering
new jerkin before the eyes of an ad-
miring world.
'Jerkin, waistcoat, formerly
jacket or upper doublet," that's Web
ster's way of telling you what a jer-
kin really is. To tell it in modern
fashion parlance, a jerkin is the
newest thing you can wear in the
way of a sleeveless pullover that
somewhat takes on the look of a
long-torso sweater. The idea is bor-
rowed from the period of Robin
Hood and his Merry Men
The jolly thing about the new jer-
kin is that it fits into any occasion.
You can get suede jenkins for sport
wear. You can get flannel jenkins
to wear with your plaid skirt. In
the afternoon you can glorify your
appearance with an embroidered
crepe jerkin, and by night you can
shine in the social world in a jet
trimmed or sparkling sequin-
embroidered jerkin.
The voguish jerkin can perform
miracles by Transforming an ordi-
nary dress into a handsome gown
of distinction. Jenkins offer endless
double-duty treatments. One type is
the practical jerkin made of striped
wool crepe to wear with a mono
tone crepe or jersey dress.
With the dinner gown of black
! crepe a jerkin of pale blue crepe en-
broidered in black sequins makes a
striking combination. If the smart
idea of red with black appeals to
you, top the black crepe frock with
a jerkin of red velvet with gold
metal thread embroidery.
There are knitted jenkins, too.
They reach well below the hips,
have no sleeves and either a low
pointed or round neckline. In fact
the story of the new jerkin vogue is
a recital of clever novelties without
end and the conclusion of it all is
that the more jenkins in your ward
robe this season the better.

FashiOn-Wise Use
Bright, Gay Colors

This is developing into a season
of gorgeously gay colors. The
tweeds for coats and suits were
never so strikingly colorful. Plaids
have gone on rampage of color.
Feathers on hats faunt color to the
limit. Accessories are a riot of eye
binding color.
In costume design a play on color
is being made that is startling in eff
feet, but the bold handling of con-
trast colors is one of the most fas-
cinating gestures fashion records
this season. For example, it is chic
for dress to have a neutral colored
shirtwaist top, with a skirt which
introduces panels of vivid colors.
Such dress could be made of pale
beige with sections of scarlet, Irish
green and royal blue. y
The new black frocks achieve their
dash of color with Jokes, vestees or
front panel effects made up of green,
cerise and purple crepe. Dare as
much color as you please and you
will be none too colorful this season.

silver with three charms hanging on
chains. The stunning off-the-face
hat is of felt in matching bottle
green.
In the chic velvet trims a new
avenue of design has been opened
that promises anything and every
thing in the way of artful express
sion. The smart side fastenings in
one piece dresses invite velvet ac-
cents in no uncertain manner. Gre
ators of smart fashions are taking
advantage of the vogue to introduce
many novel interpretations of the
mode, such as a princess dress in
black sheer wool that fastens down
one side under a wide border of
velvet. At a long-torso waistline
point the dress is tied with velvet
in the same manner as the new
coats that tie to one side.
Dresses of cashmere jersey are
cunningly trimmed with velvet in
such accents as collar, cuffs and
novel pockets. 1t is very good style,
too, for the two-piece dress is made
of a jersey skirt with velveteen
blouse top that is finished off with
jersey at neckline and wrist and
down the front.
The very chic jacket suits that
make simplicity of line their key
note show they are of newest vim
tage when they are piped with vel
vet, have velvet covered buttons and
most likely velvet collar of match
ing velvet Of course the favorite
suit is black with black velvet. How
ever, the "call to colors" is result
ing in suits and coats made of gor-
geous tweeds that are colorfully
velvet-trimmed. q
One house of design noted for its
smart fashions is making a play on
dresses that exploit the new pencil
slim lines that take on a founce be-
low the knee. These are of sheer
wool, notably cashmere jersey or
the new suede-finished woods. The
high style feature reaches its eli
max in cunning schoolgirl collars of
matching velvet. Shirred velvet
muffs are also a new style note.

OuI L
A woman can make or mar her
future by the impression her voice
carries over the phone. The wise wo-
man knows this, so she lowers her
voice and brings into it that soft
sweetness that she uses in speaking to
some one beloved. Never be short,
sharp or high-pitched over the phone
unless you want to make a most I'M
pleasant impression.
Charming Women
Charming women have found it
wise to keep their voices low and to
never, never argue. Observe the
lonely, fretful, unloved women and
you will find them usually with high,
querulous voices and debating this and
that. Conversation is a fine art and
for a woman a very useful one If
she would be charming she must learn
to let conversation flow pleasantly,
easily and agreeably, but must never
interrupt a conversation with heated
controversy.
How to Wear Glasses
If your eyes are weak and you have
to wear glasses, by all means learn to
wear them and still look attractive.
You can. First, select the style of
glasses that are becoming to you,
Next watch out how you dress your
hair. Never carry them over the hair
to the ears, but under the hair. Then
arrange your front hair becomingly
along the temples. Work until you
look your best.
Beauty's First Point
And what is Beauty's first point, you
ask. The answer is-cleanliness.
Even young girls are careless in this
respect and are thereby losers in the
front rank of the beauty race. Now,
YOU may wash your face and still
leave it far from clean. To have a
clear, healthy looking skin, it must be
perfectly free from dirt, even that that
turks deep in the skin. Take care
ful look at your face next time you
wash it and observe the sosoness of
your appearance. Now try washing
it thoroughly, using cream and a
brush until you are satisfied. Then
look at it and you will see the differ
ence between a half cleaner face and
a thoroughly cleaned one. A clean
kin is always beautiful.

Style Notes

There is an unprecedented de-
mand for corduroy.
Glittering details enliven both
day and evening dresses.
Deep-at-the-back draped tur-
bans entirely cover the hair.
Smartest new handbags are
made of broadcloth, faille or
suede.
Elaborate embroidery is Law
ished on everything including
pockets, sleeves, hats, shoes and
gloves.
The low-founce, pencil slim
dresses that seemed so extreme
when introduced early in the sea-
son, are developing into one Of
the most popular fashions.
And now you can buy daytime
frocks with two pair Of sleeves.
Merely zip in the extra sequin-
studded sleeves, attach the extra
belt that is included in the en-
semble, and you are all dressed
up and ready to 60.

Newest Hats Made
OF Pasted Feathers

1t is a season of gayest of gay
plumage and novelty feathers. So
much so, the newest hats of the sea-
son are made entirely of pasted
feathers in gorgeous colors. With
the new dark furs they are simply
stunning. Your feather chapeau
may be of the now-so-chic broad
brim type or it may be a cunning
little novel shape or a close fitting
turban. Just so it's feathered to
distinction.
Felt casual hats faunt spectacu-
lar quilts and other feather novel
ties. New too are the felt bretons
as well as those of velvet that have
a fringe of brilliant feathers outlin-
ing the brim.

Lines Around Eyes
The setting of your eyes is important
to their beauty. If you have dark
circles, deeply-etched lines or puffs
around your eyes, you will look tired
and istless. And this, too, is matter
OF general health. Too little sleep and
too much gayety contribute to that
weary look.
The delicate skin around your eyes
deserves special attention. Every time
you laugh, smile, frown, or squirt, little
lines appear around the eyes and if
your skin is dry these lines becomes
deeply etched. A heavy cream
smoothed in this area at night will keep
the skin fabricated and discourage the
lines. Care should be taken not to rub
the skin roughly, however, because it is
easily stretched, causing more lines.
1t is really more simple than you
would think. Get plenty of sleep, avoid
eyestrain,, and use a rich cream around
your eyes at night if you would be a
bright-eyed girl with that good old
"come-hither" look.
