'V S-: :;. t ^ ■ W .s' ,5-^ »- v - ■■. i s.;: I F YOU are planning a new coat, costume-suit or daytime frock of handsome broadcloth (great favor ite this season) or one of the new silks that look like wool or any of the smart novelty woolens, accented with trimmings of flat fur handled in clever dressmaker ways, you do well. The idea is right in line with smartest current style trends. / One of the outstanding gestures in fashion’s realm today is the lav ish and ingenious use of such furs as Persian lamb, astrakhan, caracul and similar pelts, for borderings, for collars, panels, bib and plastron effects, for big revers and even for entire sleeves and novel pockets. Also highly significant is the fact of a strong British trend influenced by the forthcoming coronation of King Edward VIII, that is evi denced throughout this season’s fashions. The models pictured carry the message both of British influence and the vogue for flat fur accents. They were selected from a collec tion of “classy” fashions presented by the style creators of Chicago in the wholesale district. The silk after noon costume to the lelt is in royal wine shade, fashioned after the king’s guard, trimmed in black as trakhan with typical old English col lar, with three-quarter length coat of military bearing. The designful handling of the bordering down the front illustrates the intriguing manipulation designers are giving to the now-so-voguish flat furs. The dress and cape-coat ensemble to the right is developed in a royal wine faille trimmed in smart black astrakhan with satin lined cape—a most charming costume for after noon or street wear. The dress » tailored with long tight - fitting sleeves and also carries accents of astrakhan. Chic versions of the very-new-flat- trimmed gowns are created of gleaming black broadcloth with a bordering of Persian lamb outlining the very full circular hemline and collar, from which extends a match ing fur border all the way down the front from neckline to hemline. Wear one of the fashionable high toques of the same Persian lamb with a dress of this description for stunning effect. The big hue and cry this fall is for gray-on-gray coats, the smart est types trending to the use of gray caracul or Persian lamb on rich gay cloths of sterling quality, al though gray kidskin and grayish moleskin come in for a big share of the honors. The unique maneuver ing of the fur adds to the zest ol things. For instance a coat is apt to have a vestee that develops into a panel that travels the entire way down the front of the coat. Or per haps the sleeves and the collar will be all of fur. The tricky ways of these stunning flat furs are too nu merous to mention. Cunning suits that sing a song of youth have hip-length peplum jack ets with full “swing” skirts, all the edges being finished with bindings of the Persian lamb or caracul if preferred. These are fashioned of broadcloth, duvetyn or velvet. Black is first choice, although the autumn reds and greens and browns are competing most successfully for prestige. ^ The latest thought is the fur - trimmed cloth or velvet dress sold with a matching fur muff. © Western Newspaper Union. LATEST CROCHET Br CHERIE NICHOLAS s',* XX&^vXv.XvXXX SiSr Buttons down the back mark this advance style. Many of the n^wer dresses are crocheted in a quick lacy stitch that is most effective yet does not exact a heavy toll of time and patience to bring to com pletion. The dress shown is ‘cro cheted of knit-cro-sheen and will hold its shape beautifully. It is just the type to wear under coats this winter, and it will blossom out next spring gaily and becomingly and smartly wearable without a coat. You can turn this dress around and wear it frdntWays if ybu really wish. STREET TWEED SUIT HAS LONGER JACKET The conventional street suit of tweed is made this year with a longer jacket that is nipped in at the waist and then flares out in a basque. For country or sports wear, the more classic suit lines are used, length top coats shown over full or divided skirts. One house goes furtfier and makes a bloomer dress of tweed. The dress is cut on severe, tailored lines, high at the neck and with long sleeves. Instead of a skirt, the dress ends in well-cut bloomers, which come several inches below the knees. A seven-eighths sport coat of matching tweed completes the bloomer costume. Silk Satins Outstanding Vogue for Autumn Wear From morning to night during the coming weeks style - alert women will be wearing silk satins, judging from the emphasis accorded this, fabric in the Paris openings. Plain and novelty weaves are both en dorsed. Sleek satin afternoon frocks under rrodish broadcloth coats are espe cially good form. Satin blouses with wool suits are also in high fashion. Printed silk satin in a pin motif or printed in a filigree patterning are among the new showings. Eye let embroidered satin is also a new feature. New Stocking Note After a summer of light beige stockings, black heels strike a note that sefems fresh and new. They are two-thread chiffon, with black heel, sole and toes, and seamed with black thread. Contrast Important Color contrast is important this season in sports costumes, skirts and sweater often being of differ ent tones. Scarfs and belts also carry out color contrasts on knit. Wives, Know Yourselves!— Accurate Analysis Will Do Much to Overcome Difficulty in Wedded Life C PEAKING on the question of ^ trial marriages, a well known writer said, “There should be no need for trial when two people know their own abilities and have measured themselves accurately. Two people who understand them selves will never, I believe, have any difficulty living happily to gether after marriage.” That is a new slant on the ques tion of success in marriage, sup plements a woman writer of na tional fame. Not “Know thy hus band” — or “wife,” but “know thyself! ” And, come to think of it, isn’t most of the discontent and dissat isfaction in marriage traceable to ideas of ourselves—that may be misconceptions, no less than our illusions about the other person? How many women’s dissatisfac tion with their husband has as its source the thought of all they gave up to marry him, all they “might hve had” if they had married a certain other man? How many women’s discontent with the role of wife and mother springs from the thought of how much more fascinating pastimes they might have had if they had followed that career? How many girl’s impossible ex pectations of ar fulltirpe lover and Prince Charming originates in an exaggerated notion of their own devastating beauty and charm? If all discontented wives would look deeply unto themselves. Foreign Words ^ and Phrases 9 Amor patriae. (L.) Love of country. Contra bonos mores. (L.) Con trary to the moral law. Dirigo, (L.)

They might dis cover and admit to themselves that they are greatly in debt to their husbands for many things that make life easier and better and more worthwhile—that they would not get along so well with out them. Then they might think more of doing their part of trying to make those husbands happy. And that effort on the part of one must in evitably go a long way toward a mutually happy and successful marriage. © Bell Syndicate,—WNU Service.
