WOMA Afternoon Coat N’S PAGE of Bottle Green BY ANNE RITTENHOUSE Satin and fur seem to be one of the most recent affinities of fashion. Much talked about this summer in Paris has been a coat of shaved lamb with wide cuffs, deep hem trimming and collar of black satin. That is one way to combine your satin and fur, but the usual way will be to make your coat of satin and trim it with fur. Of all clever and unusual combina- tions of material that have been shown in Paris this summer perhaps the coat made of quilted flowered muslin with collar, cuffs and very deep hem of fiving squirrel is the mest extreme. But such extremes seldom are reproduced save photo- graphically in this count The satin and fur combination, however, has substantial appeal. For late summer and autumn a charming coat has been made of bottle-green satin embroidered in brown and gold thread and trimmed with brown fur— 2 coat that for many women might do double guty, serving an evening wrap on many occasions. . This coat makes use of brown fur against the bottls green of the coat— interesting because some weeks ago the general prediction was that the fashion of the autumn would demand fur that matched the fabric with which it was used The halance to hang be- tween the straight-line silhouette to which we are entirely adapted and the new silhouette that dressmakers have been stressing in Paris as a relief from the straight lines of which they have wearied. If we continue with the former—and smart- ly dressed women in France and America are amazingly stubborn about dropping it—then we shall still have need of the straight-line coat. If. on the other hand. we are inveigled into the mode of 1840, with it fuller skirt, then we shall soon be wearing coats of flaring lines Already some of th coats have appeared. made with a tremendous circular flare. and some of the new mandarin coats over which Paris has already Decome rather enthusiastic are made full enough to accommo- date the width of an 1340 skirt (Copyright. 1923.) as see BOTTLE-GREEN § BROIDERED IN GOLD AND BROWN THREAD, AND TRIMMED WITH BROWN FUR.

Here Alma paused and made a graphic gesture with one of her graphic hands.

If the bugs overcome their antipathy to the moth ball odor they will seek refuge at night under the shingles, where they can be found and destroyed in_the early morning hours. Bone meal, which is often used as a garden fertilizer, is of con- siderable benefit in repelling these pests when dusted on the leaves. MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN The Flower Corner.

The young matron who had just celebrated her eighth wedding anni- versary sighed a little as she turned from her packing to greet the bride from next door, who had run in to ask her daily question. The bride turned frankly to the older house- wife for advice on all sorts of do- mestic topics and nearly every day she had a new inquiry to make. But today her question was a bit dif- ferent “Why so pensive?’ she said, y. “Here you are packing to go to a gorgeous big hotel for a month and you look as if you were going_to a funeral. Don't You want to go?" “Oh, yes.” returned the matron, re- iluctantly, “but I wish Richard were going with me.

NewYork,Chicage, Kansas City, SesFrascisce My Neighbor Says: To avold the annoyance of broken buttons on wash blouses try this plan: Make buttonholes in the hem on which the buttons would usu- ally be sewn. Then sew your buttons on a piece of tape, slip through the buttonholes, and mecure the tape on the wrong side with a few stitchés. When sending the blouse to be wash- ed it s the work of a few seconds to remove the tape and buttons. 1f a loop has to be sewn on a hem, and the stitching is not required to go through both thicknesses, slip a piece of card, or a paperknife, be- tween the folds of the hem Tt will then be much easier to sew the loop. To prevent silk stockings being worn out by hose sup- porters, run a plece of tape through a tiny brass ring and sew the tape to the stocking. If the supports are clasped through the rings, the wear on the stocking top and the fear of making “ladders” in the fabric will be done away with Dry salt is a remedy for hands that get wrinkled after washing.
