WOMAN'E MAGE. Popular Combinations of Fabric BY MARY MARSHALL. Following the general principle that it is always better to use an English word than a French one when the English word expresses the meaning Just as well, we ought to speak of these new two-material frocks and wraps as composite, and not ‘“com- pose,” which in this connection we, of course, took from the French. Stil every one who talks of clothes knows what is meant by the compose effect. THIS JACKET FROCK IN COM- POSE EFFECT MAKES USE OF WHITE AND NATTIER BLUE CREPELLA. The word Is as well established in the patter of dressmakers as ‘“‘ensemble” or_“lingerie.” There is nothing whatever new in the compose idea. Since men and women first began to wear clothes of fabric it has been usual enough to wear two sorts of fabric in the same costume. But sometimes they wore it ns a matter of necessity—and now it is done as a matter of fashionable choice. Once the frock made of a lit- material in two different colors. Some- times two materials of the same shade exactly are used together, one dull in finish and the other glossy. Compose evening frocks are consid- ered one of the decided fashion devel- opments of the late Winter, and the most usual type of these is the gown of black and white—the bodice usually of white and the skirt of black. This is apparently not to be shelved for the Spring, but women will go on wearing this arrangement of black and white, only in lighter materials than the velvets and satins chosen for Winter, This really fs an excellent sespev. for the woman who needs to make use of short lengths. A one or two tiered pleated skirt may be of one ma terfal with perhaps enough left for a jabot frill or collar and cuff facings. It is even possible to make use of three materials, providing, of cou that they form an effective color har- mony together. (Covyright. 1927.) MENU FOR A DAY. BREAKFAST.

There is an almost endless variety to the manner in which different fab- ries may be combined, for there seem to be no definitely prescribed combi- nations. Thus taffeta silk may be used with organdie, or gingham with pongee. One of the most popular combina- tions of fabric for the spring is crepe satin and georgette or crepelly and georgette. Sometimes the compose effect is achieved by using the same BEDTIME STORIE Peter In-ve:fig:tes. Whene'er you know not what to do. Let patience be the guide for you. —O01d Mother West Wind. Peter Rabbit didn’t want to go back to the dear Old Briarpatch. Peter was possessed of the wandering foot, 28 the saying is. That means that he just couldn't stay put.

Peter just stared at her in a puzzled way. “Why, I'm alive, all right, am I not?” he demanded. “Yes,” retorted little Mrs. Peter, “you're alive now, but one of these days you'll never come back.

She is a home body, i little Mrs. Peter. There i3 no place in the whole world to her like the dear Old Briar-patch, and nothing that Peter ocould say would tempt her to go wan- dering about with him. So Peter told her not to worry—a thing easier said than done—and off he went. “Don't expect me until you see me, my dear,” said he. “If you don't ex- winds are blowing, But 1,it seems,am needed here — Or who would keep things going ? o STUFFED PEPPERS.

It was nearly a week since he had been home, a very unusual length of time for Peter to stay away. “I'll stay just one more day,” said Peter, as he sat near the doorway of an old house of Johnny Chuck’s in a far corner of the Old Orchard. “It's too late to home safely now, any- way. In tl Peter was right. Al- ready Jjolly, round, bright Mr. Sun was well up in the Blue, Blue Sky. It wouldn't be safe to try to get hom now. “I'll hide in the Old Stone Wall, though Peter. “It will be a good place to spend the day." Just then he noticed the doorway to Johnny Chuck’s old home.

It is well to delay in all sorts of in- | ftiative and to confine efforts to, strictly necessary business under this sway, the seers admonish. et Business men may be anxious over international complications that threaten trade, but assurance is given that this country is to prosper enor- mously. Labor is likely to be restive and dis- contented under this direction of the stars, Strikes and lockouts, however, are things of the past, the seers de- clare, except in isolated instances. ‘Women should defer public matters of importance and should be very cautious about all their business af- fairs while this configuration prevails. Irritability and unreasonableness may be apparent in an unusual degree tomorrow, and it is well to cultivate a happy point of view.

I presume he comes in here once in a while for a nap. I hope he isn’t in here now. I don't believe he 1s, or I would know it. I would smell him." So Peter kept on down to the bed- room, and there he found everything very ocpmfortable and nice.

Is Long Hair Returning? Hairdressers in convention and indi- vidually are doing their best to usher in a return to the long-hair coiffure. They have tried without much success to popularize the regular use of switches, puffs and artificlal curls with bobbed colffures for evening wear. Pleces of extra hair have been worn, but the practice has not become uni- versal with the rank and file of our sex. It would be rash, indeed, to pre- dict the end of the bobbed-hair vogue for any particular date, but there are indications that before long the femi- nine world will be ready for a change of some sort. It seems quite lkely that the new vogue will be a com- promise between long and short hair and will avold the disadvantages of both. Time was when a girl would boast of having hair long enough to sit on and every woman who made any pre- tensions to beauty had tresses that reached at least to her waist line. Long, thick hair is beautiful when hanging loosely, but it is difficult to build into a simple and becoming coiffure. The bob was a revolt against the tyranny of heavy colls of hair and innumerable hairpins. Extreme simplicity took the place of elaborate hairdressing. Yet there is a certain monotony about bobbed heads and the problem of the bristly necks seems unsolvable. A compromise has recently been suggested by a group of hair- dressers. A woman looks her best, they say, when her hair is about 15 inches long and is arranged in a simple, close-fitting coiffure that ex- hibits the graceful contour of her head. Halr of this length is not too short to wave prettily and yet not long enough to be burdensome. It INS Geire e e may be dressed in a great varlety of ways and require no attention from | the barber. Time alone can tell whether this suggestion will find favor with the majority of girls and women. For the benefit of my readers who have long hair, or who are letting their bobbed locks grow, I shall de- scribe a few coiffures for their type. I am most frequently asked for colffure suggestions for broad faces, so the first arrangement below is for that style of face. Colffure 1. Part the hair a little be- low the center on the left side. Put in a few deep waves and draw the hair back, allowing lobes of ears to peep out. Arrange hair in two or three small colls at the nape of the neck. Colfture 2. For high forehead and long face. Part the hair low on the left. Brush it across the forehead smoothly and curl ends up at the right temple. Brush the side hair back, exposing ears and arrange in a french twist behind. Colffure 3. For a long, oval face. Part the halr in the middle. Have a thin, curled-under bang in the center. continue the part down the back and arrange the halr In two coils, one over each ear. Coliffure 4. For low, forehead and broad face. Brush hair straight back from the face. Put in a few flat waves. Tie the hair at the nape of the neck and roll it upward in a fan- shaped bun. If the back hair is too short for this treatment, curl it up- ward in a long roll across the nape of the neck. (Covyright. 1927.)
