Three-Quarters Blouse for Autumn BY ANNE RITTENHOUSE Here's an interesting bit of fashion pEychology. Two years ago the blouse that ex- tended to or below the knees was ushered into fashjon. It lingered on the. threshold for a while, People talked "about it oftener than they wore it. They looked at it in the shops oftener than they bought it. One of the points stressed in its favor was that. with a costume slip of some sort, it was complete. You could make the slip your. self at a trifiing cost or onme costume lip might be used as the complement of several of these long blouses. They were then called costume blouses. Within few weeks blouses that #xtend to or below the knees have been ushered into fashion again. They are not called costume blouses and they are spoken of as something quite new. They are spoken of as three-quarter length Russian blouses. A point mentioned in their favor s that with a costume slip they are complete. You can make the slip yourself at a trifling cost—and so on. And this time they have been re- ceived with enthusiasm from the first, and unless we are all very much mis- taken they will have a very important place in the season’s costuming of Wwomen. Now, why did the costume blouse fail, while this new three-guarter or Russian blouse seems to be succeed- | ing? Ask the psychologizt and he smiles benignly. “Women are capri- cious.” he_says, “and fashions more capriciou This new three-quarter blouse is the successor of the jaquette which some purveyors of Women's clothes will tell' you is quite pas —though your own opinion may be that it is only “passant.” At present the three-quarter length | blouse has not become what in the | jargon of department store - proprie- tors is known as a ‘‘popular number,” owing to its present high price. And that, of course, is a good' omen for the blouse of this type. But there are many things about it that rhould give it friends—even if it r does become “papular.” It Is adjusted. The re made blouse neceds little ing_to suit the fastidious, since it has o walst line and often pos: open_at the wrist so that sh dness or armedness presents special length an Sometimes the blouse fits quite something of a skirt below the tunic s narrowl flare of the end of the fon of the allowing slip or blouse LONG, CLINGING BLOUSE OF NUT- COLORED CREPE DE CHINE EM- BROIDRRED IN GOLD AND SIL- VER THREADS AND WEIGHTED | T THE HEM WITH A BAND OF | FUR. Again the tunic section has some- thing of a flare itself. One Interesting blouse of this sort is of silver metal- brocade with a wide band of chinchilla along the edge of the tunic section, around the neck and at the edge of the flowing ceves. Another is of rust-colored crepe de chine embroidered i col- ored mietallic threads and edged with brown fur. Still ancther is of blue brocaded with around velvet, fox the tunic flaring sleeves, ending slightly be low the elbow. figurcd velvets arc used in this way —fur being almost always used to edge the slecves and the hem of the tunic, and oceasionally the neck line.

The “Truth Serum Lowe has had a bright scientific theory that certuin aspects of the reel He suggests that a “truth serum” used upon tain members within and somewhat with- out the profession. nund more may revolution world be movie EDMUND LOWE, SCIENTIST.

It might be given to the same various stars when -they are talking about thelr directors. Oh, You could go on without end and think of ail sorts of results to be had from the stuff. But as Mr. Lowe has discovered it. we'll awalt results from his experiments. Everywhere you go you hear what folks need to make (nem famous film actors. Beauty, personality. push, determination. ~patience, _attractive- ness, these are only a few of the in- gredients that are heralded as “ab- solutely necessary to screen success.” Now comes Alfred L. ‘Green, rector of Paramount pictures, incidentally, of most of Meighan's fecent on, “1t 1 could wite,” said Mr. Green, “*‘Common sense’ in letters of flame across the sky over Hollywood so that every man ang woman striving . for success .in motion pictures might see and heed, I feel sure the numbgr of those who will win success on the screen mext year would be increased one hundred fold, “Perhaps in letters of lesser siz 1 would write “Work," but I feel that most people who strive for success in pictures have realized that hard work is necessary. No one can enter a_studio without sensing the gigantio efforts which are being put forward by every one connected with producs tion to insure su ss. Even the most minor players catch this atmosphere of painstaking effort. But they be- lieve that there is some hidden for- mula for sugcess.

It was brought over from England before the revolu- tionary war that its branchlets might be used in the manufacture of bas- kets. It was planted first in the vicinity of Boston, but is now fre- Quently seen from Quebec south to Virginia and Kentucky, having be- come thoroughly naturalized and flourishing aiong streams and - in other moist situations.

This family name, Calhoun being a modern variation of the true form of Colquhoun, comes from the name of | one of the clans of the Scottish High- landers. which derived it from the name of the locality in which the members established themselves, the barony in West Kilpatrick (or Kirk- patrick), in Dumbartonshire. Beyond this the mists of the past [ cloud the search for the origin of the place neme. By some the name of Colquhoun is supposed to be derived from the given name.of “Conachis By others it is explained as “Colg- chuoin." a personal name, meaning “wap-dog,” and virtually thie sagie as the name of that great Irish warrlor of antiquity, “Cuchulin.’ The names do not look ‘alike, but remember that the gutterals of the Gaelic are rather difficult to indicate, and that the Gaelic speech itself has undergone changes- from its ancient form, just as English, French and German have done. - The Clan Colquhoun, however, dates only from about the year 1240 or mo. It was organized and founded by one Humphrey de Kilpatriek, who, though not himself a Gael. had received a grant of land in that section from the Earl of Lennox in the relgn of | Klog Alexander II of Scotland. ; (Copyright.) | are dark, Blondy.—You can use either butter- milk, ‘lemon or cucumber juice for bleaching a tanned skin.
