It has gone in and out of fashion like a shuttle. This year it arrives as a striking degarture from | { the -slim, knee-length coat worn dur- || ing the winter. No one feels especial enthusiasm lI| for the coat suit this early in the |} winter when the public is in the || throes of delight over the full cape ]| and the one-piece frock. But every 1] one knows that those who go south want a change from what they are wearing. Also that the early spring will .bring several changes in the sil- houette. We have ceased to argue against the incoming fullness of the skirt. Those of us who have skirts that are only fifty-four inches wide } at the hem are anxiously looking at the width of the side seams. If || these are too scapty to aid and abet ]| us in widening the skirt we are thinking of the effect of broad braid !inserted in a long line from hip to hem. This common talk of preparing for a full skirt is everywhere. It shows || that women have accepted the proph- ecy of a quick change. There are women wo now appear in skirts that e five yards wide. There are even- g gowns made for young girls that are six yards wide, ad the material is taffeta and the trimming consists of ruchings. The tailored suit may not be as skirt as the frock for but there is evidence edulous that it will be over two yards wide. The skirts built_like this cannot carry long coats. The short box coat goes well with them. It is worn by It | older women as well as young girls | | | | batiste fastened with small red but- | | | il | toward the arm and destroys the hang l WORN OVER A WHITE BLOUSE because it has sufficient fullness be- low the shoulders to suggest the ever-present cape. It is at its best on the young girl. The sketch shows such a suit in blue serge trimmed with red and green braid in a serpentine pattern. It is slashed over each hip. The wide sleeves spring from a lowered arm- hole. Their hems uncover a muslin sleeve attached to a white blouse. Such coats are mgde in covert cloth trimmed with black or brown braid and the blouse is of tan-colored tons like peppermint drops that go in a child's Christmas stocking. None of the box coats for the spring make a pretense of fastening. They are adjusted like capes. They need a skillful fitter, for if the shoulder line is not perfect the neckline slips of the whole garment. Prickly Porky Becomes Un- = easy. BY THORNTON W. BURGESS. Don't let your stomach steal your wits away And for a little pleasure now tomorrow have o pay. —Prickly Porky. The very morning that Peter Rab- bit crept into a certain hollow log in the Green Forest for a nap Mrs. Grouse, happened along mneaf the tree in which Prickly Portky the Por- cupine had been finding life so very pleasing and wholly to his liking. Mrs. Grouse passed that way ngarly “HOW SHOULD 1 KNOW?" RETORT! PORKY FRETFULLY. every day, so she knew that. Prickly Posky was there. Each time she pagged she looked up to see how oy more branches Prickly Porky :-‘ stripped of leaves, twigs and is morning she heard Prickly Porky before she was where she could see him. He was whining and grunting fretfully. The very sound of his voice was proof that he was feeling very much out of sorts about something. “Now, what can be the matter with that prickly fellow?’ wondered Mrs. Grouse. “I am sure there hasn’t been any one here in the Green Forest to bother him and I know he doesn't mind the cold 50 long as he has plenty to eat, and he hasn't half stripped that tree yet. Perhaps he has the stomachache. It makes mine ache just to think of living on nothing but hemlock bark and twigs.” She hurried on to where she could see Prickly Porky. He was up in the big_hemlock tree sitting in a crotch, scolding fretfully, though there -ap- peared to be no one about. She flew up to a branch near him. . “Good morning, Prickly Porky" said sh “What g#re you fretting about?” “The weather,” grunted Prickly Porky crossly. ““The ° weathe: exclaimed Mrs. Grouse. “I thought you were the one ve‘o‘ Hked “:}dp}v{‘:{;r weather.” “T do,” rfll‘l! cl Porky. “But ~dBOn't!lkB bad ¥inter weather.” ut 1 isn’t bad!

Prickly Porky looked surprised and grunted stiil more fretfully. The hole wasn't big enough for him so he went to work to make it bigger. Presently he dis- appeared. And as he did so the first snowflokes came hissing down through the trees. “I guess he knew what he was talk- ‘ln‘ about,’ said Mrs. Grouse as she prepared to seek shelt: it, urgess.) Showers vs. Bathtubs. - Some of the new small houses are being built with a fully equipped shower bath instead of a bathtub in the bathroom. At first the idea of living in a house without a. bathtub may seem rather shocking, but there are those who contend that the shower bath offers a really more ef- fective means for keeping clean than the bathtub. Childrcn who balk at the idea of a dally bath, if left to their own devices, willingly take a shower every morning. The fact that the bathtub does not have to be filled and that there is no task of cleaning the tub afterward perhaps may have something to do with this preference. Of course, if you have an inadequate hot-water supply and depend some- times for your hot bath on kettles ] of water heated on the stove then the - ghower bath is not as satisfactory as the tub.
