There are di | e lines such as radio con- struction and operation, machin- all hours of the day, practical styles for morning; with touches of fur, for big-pocketed softer types, for afternoon; es to fit them to carry on for din- {ner. Wartime pockets spring bright surprises in Paquin’s new collection, Where the handkerchief |snuggle in a breast pocket in peace time, a bouquet of glass flowers lights up nowadays. { Pockets reach their biggest and | newest in Sc hiaparelli’s suits.

Morning suits have saddle | pockets leather trimmed, afternoon | styles braid trimmed pockets, in black silk passementerie on black wool. The waist-filled packet in length or slightly longer is much in the majority. Fronts incline to close high, with single or double breasted fastening from a turn-over collar, officers’ style; small reverse collar, or some other simple neck treatment. |'A few loose longer packets are seen, with one-button fastening at neck. Suit skirts are far from the sim- ple things they once were. Slim- lined wraparound models cover bloomers or plus-fours, the bloom- ers matching the suit fabric or in the bright color of the blouse. Big pockets front skirts, sometimes a single one, in the middle, with ag- gressive looking zipper fastening. Flared suit skirts include bell- shaped models, Molyneux shows in tweeds, and kilt, pleated very full styles Alix features in plaids. Skirts continue to be short, with the knee barely covered by most of them. Paquin’s short flared skirts have ad- ditional fulness in panels of pleating front and back. In this year of our war, trim- mings take on a military flavor. Gold braid epaulets appear on acket shoulders, silver embroidered an- chors on collar corners. A navy blue suit shows service stripes on the sleeves in lines of colored jew- els above silver stars. Among suit materials are many rough two-color tweeds, diagonals also and plain tweeds, Plaids, checks and stripes are noted. There is a great deal of jersey plain and fancy, and especially for afternoon, smooth, soft wools as before, Plain jackets and plaid skirts combine, also light and dark shades of the same mater- ial, IT COSTS SO LITTLE TO BRESS SMARTLY DEVLIN'S LUBRICATION e s know a | great deal more than in the days'ists' work on motorized and mech= average enlisted men|gnjzed fighting units, photography, dug physics of firing guns, and seductive blous-| used to| |employs the ioose - hanging large and | mpl 'COLISEUM W.1.GROSS Juneau's Greatest Show Value LAST TIMES TONIGHT “UP THE RIVER” PRESTON FOSTEH~TONY MARTIN—PHYLLIS BROOKS—SLIM SUMMERVILLE TRUE ADVENTURES NEWS ALS“ ((OMEDY FILM HAS Learn Trade : And he does | cel the a group |a radio in Uncie Sam passes out are practically revolving doors, and be ' the best football team in the “Big mechanized | Pen more than | ghan: LAST SHOWING AS COLISEUM MOVIE the movie studios uproarious a comedy River” the new 20th picture which moved Coliseum Theatre yester- day and is on again tonight for the last times.
