For in- dead the two-piece suit is the trump eard in the modern woman’s Autumn wardrobe, and if worn with appropri- ate accessories may be wisel for the merning’s round of bu shoppinz, for luncheon at rant, for committee or club meetings, for the informal game of afternoon bridge. for the morning or afternoon ehurch wedding, for church service, for afternoon tea at the home of a friend or in a hotel tea room, for mo- toring and travel, and for a dozen other places and occasions that doubt- less oecur to you. The very fact that at least with American women there has been some- thing of a falling off in interest in the two-piece suit within the past 10 or 15 years gives you all the more distinc- tion when you wear it—makes it in- decd the trump card in the Autumn wardrobe, There are, of course, exceptions to the bridge player's rule to play trumps when in doubt, and so there are times | when a two-piece suit is not the most | appropriate costume ‘1o select, but the | | | | —and with pretty good reason—that | piece froc | of “sleeve Most business women feel nowadays for every-dayv office wear the two-piece suit is not o convenient or so appro- priate as the one-piece frock with a coat. The coat outlasts a number of frocks and the suit jacket would out- last the suit skirt. Besides, there is the prejudice nowadays against the dividing line of skirt and overblouse when the suit jacket is not worn, though this, of course, ean be obviated by choosing an overblouse of a color to match the skirt. Then the skirt and biouse is to all intents and pur- poses a jumper frock. Still, the busi- ness woman seems to prefer her one- for working hours. The two-piece suit has come to be regarded by most American women as a sort of luxury item in the wardrobe, Separate frocks, sweater costumes, Winter coats and between-season coats, with a fur coat in cold climates —these things most women regard as essentials, but it is usually only when they can expand and get some of the non-essentials _that they choose the two-piece suif” And this, of course, only adds to the prestige of this type of costume. Velveteen two-piece suits for Au- tumn are shown in some of the smart- est shops, and are worn by many well dressed women. The jackets are usu- ally of the rather simply tailored sort, or finger-tip length. The smartest accompaniment to the vel- veteen suit Is the slip-on sweater of very light-weight wool jersey, with round neck of collarbone height. The ater matches the tone of the vel- veteen, and is often worn with a nar- row ribbon or leather belt. A fox fur scarf gives an appropri- ate neck finish, though a silk or woolen scarf may answer the purpose almost as well. The two-piece suit calls for ex- tremely ise attention to details The hat must be sim- ple and matching or harmonizing in color. There should be a nice corre- spondence between shoes and stock- ings and the suit. If you have chosen one of the warm, brown cloths for your suit, then a pair of brown alli "THE SUNDAY STAR,.WASHINGTON, D.” ¢, SEPTEMBER 11, 1927—PART 8 ish beige =silk stockings. Usually elaborate or cuffed gloyes are not well chosen for wear with the two-piece suit, the simple puli-on. sort being a wiser, smarter selection. Some of the new suits combine a tailored velveteen jacket with a cloth skirt of checked woolen material, Le- nief of Paris, who makes velour jack- ets with checked skirts, favors this effect. The inch or an inch and a half Jengthening of skirts that seems to have been conceded by practically all the dressmakers for Autumn applies to suits as well as to frocks and coats, SHOWN IN OBLONG AT LEFT.

Jackets are still, for the most part, of sleeve or finger-tip length, rarely longer, There is no longer any question about the increased length of skirts. In evéning and . formal afternoon frocks this frequently. appears by way of a decided lengthening at the back, with the usual brevity at the front. In evening frocks the back length sometimés amounts to an ac- tual train. Callot of Paris has been making evening frocks with trains at- tached to the hip: The trains are long enough to drag a foot or more 'S WORN WITH A BROWN AND TAN IN THE CENTER, CHECKED T THE LEFT, Prown is making a strong bid for Autumn favor, and I have observed that a number of wamen, acting ap- parently quite independently of each other, have made up their minds to have at least one brown ensemble for Autumn. There are lovely soft woolen materials with mixed brown tones and metal brocades of golden brownish shot with rose or green that are often used for overblouses with these brown wools, Gray is much used hy some of the French dressmakers, despite the fact that it has never been considered espe- cially hecoming to French women or to women of Latin iaces generally. the Ameri- IRT.

There is a sort of grayish beige, or vellowish gray, called grege, that has bean used’for suits and street frocks here and abroad. Clay is another tone of the same sort which strikes a com- promise between beige and gray. Though coats for the most part are of full length, rather than of the three- quarter or seven-eighths length which was predicted 'a few menths ago, the separate short jacket has already as- sui a place of fashionable promi- nence.’ an actual fact, these are usually made to go with certain defi- nite frocks, but since they are often of eontrasting color and always of con- trasting material to the frock, they haye the effect of “separateness” just the’ same. French women especially favor these short jackets, which are frequently made with a sort of flare. This fashion for the separate short jacket suggests a phase of the two- piece suit that ought to be of interest to the woman who must carefully con- sider the usefulness of every garment in her Autumn wardrobe. The suit jacket may be worn for certain occa- sions with the skirt and blouse combi- nation, and on other occasions worn with a one-piece frock just as effec- tively. The short eloth jacket of your beige two-piece suit may, for instance, be worn with a little one-piece frock of brown satin or transparent velvet. no& 7 ‘ FOR SPORTS WEAR THIS GRAY TWEED SUIT AT THE LEFT WITH GRAY AND WHITE KNITTED BLOUSE AND APPLIQUED TIE OF TWEED.

EEN TRICOT REEN AND AN ANGORA JERSEY navy blue and gray. To present the effect from being hodge-podgy, the bag, hat and other accessories should be chosen to harmopize with the tones of the frock or jacket. : Accessories ‘n@¥er play a more im- portant role tHan they do in the as- sembling of the two-plece suit, and never have to be chosen with more care. Belts are frequently worn with the cardigan type of suit jacket, and are usually of leather, with metal buckles. Ribbon belts with metal buckles are used with the blouse of silk or jersey worn beneath the suit jacket. Checks or plaids are frequently used for the skirt portion of compose suits, of which the jackets are plain. Diagonal effects, o much in evi- dence in coat and frock fashions this Autumn, are sometimes produced by the jacket closing of the new suits. Earrings are no longer considered out of place with the tailored or sports =ult, and may be of the button sort or a too large loop or dangle. Fox fur scarfs are considered indis- pensable suit accessories by many well preferred for wear with the suit of | tailored or.sports genre.

Kilt pleats are used at the sides of the skirts of suits designed for golf or country walking. Lingerie to go with should be carefully chosen. Matching bloomers are to be preferred to lace- trimmeg petticoats with this type of costume.

Bob, who was just behind 3beriff Hixon, suddenly uttered an exclama- tion. “There's Ringer!” where's the tramp?” They paused, gazing by the moor- light at a strange scene. At the nhot- tom of a large tree at the edge of the clearing they saw Ringer. The dog was alternately growling with bared teeth and emitting the loud barks that he knew would bring his masters. And just out of reach of his highest jumps, on a low limb of the tree, crouched the figure of a man. here he is"" exclaimed Bill, in the tree!

It's all bloody The other hoys ran to the dog and found a trickle of blood running from a break in the skin on his head. ““The brute hit him with something,"” sald Billy, hotly. “Yes, and 1 wish I'd killed him?" snarled the tramp. “Look what he did to me.” In spite of their anger the Con- querors could not restrain, their smiles as they gazed at the tramp’s trousers. Evidently Ringer had got his teeth into them and started running, for they were ripped in the back from the belt to below the knee. “Well, boys,” said the sheriff, “I guess this ends the night's work. 1'm going to take this fellow up to the Sauvers house and get Mr. Sauers to drive us into the village tonight. I'll have him behind bars within an hour. And I'll see that he stays there a good, long time.” A moment later, after thanking them for their helps and bidding them good-by, the sheriff pushed the tramp in front of him. and holding his gun to the prisoner's body, marched him away toward the house.
