WOMAN'S PAGE. ON, D. ¢, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 192W. Flares and Fur BY MARY Last Autumn a number of women I know took their coats of the previous season to the taflors and had the fur carefully removed from the hem, rud some of them had the flares removcd to conform to the straighter lines. And this season—if the old coat is s.i!l on hand—they may wish that they hadn't, because fur borders are decidedly smart and fashion again turns with approval to_coats that flare. Lavish certainly is the word for the FLARED COAT WITH DEEP FUR | CUFFS, COLLAR AND TRIMMING BAND ALONG FRON LOWER EDGE. new use of fur on cloth coats. Jane Regny has a fiare-from-the-shoulder coat with a band of fox fur over a foot wide all around the hem and cuffs as big as muffs. This cost is of velvet or velveteen and is made just short enough to show two or three iiches of the vel- vet frock beneath. Often the fur border is. as it were, broken. marking merely the edge of the circular godet at the sides of the coal. Often there are what appear to be flounc=s with a circular edge which is outlined lavishly with fur. Various sorts of fox furs are used for these wide bancings and sometimes fatter furs such as Persian lamb, beaver or_squirrel. With these new fur-trimmed ecloth | coats there is no essociation of econ- | omy. That is, one would hardly choose a coat so lavishly trimmed with fur in- | stead of an all-fur merely because it was less expensive, because as a matter of fact such coats are anything but in- expensive. With the new wide cuffs— each as big as a mufi—enormous shawl collars and wide flaring fur border almost 25 much fur is used as would be needed for an all-fur coat. One objection that was made to fuller coats a season or so ago was, I think, Borders Return MARSHALL. |that they detractod from the slender, airiish line so desirable. But thse new fur-bordered coats Impart a slender crace that rivals that produccd by any | Straighi-line model. This wee maker consists of a disgram pattern for the abbreviated litle drawers little French girls wear.

Today in Washington His tory BY DONALD A CRAIG. 2 October 2, 1861—The sloop John L. Brown arrived at the wharf at the foot of Twelfth street today with a load of | ovsters from the lower Potomac River. Capt. Mister reports that he passed up the entire length of the river without being molested by the Confederates or seeing anything of an alarming nature. Numerous sailing vessels were passed | by Capt. Mister in the lower river, most of which are bound up river to | Alexandria, Georgetown and Washing- ton. | farm produce, wood and coal. between 20 and 30 such ves | Freestone Point, all moving slowly up- | stream. He saw Sensational reports have recently been printed in newspapers in_ New | | York City and other citics of the North that the Potomac River has been block- aded by the Confederates. brought today by Capt. Mister confirms simi'ar reports brought here by other vessels which have recently passed up the river in safety: namely, that there no foundation whatever for the sto- cs of & blockade of the Potomac. The Confederates are known to be active on the Virginia side of the river along its lower stretrsies, but it is not | belicved they will attempt a serious blockade of the stream, for the reason that they have no vessels capable of maintaining it. They may, it is true, harass some vesssls passing up the river to Washington by firing on them from time to time, but it is believed by the military and naval authorities here that it will be a comparatively easy task, with the aid of a few small war vessels, to keep the river open all the way from its mouth to the Capital City. The same confidence is expressed by the military and naval authorities with regard to navigation on Chesapeake Bay, between Fortress Monroe and points on the upper bay. For the present the Confederates will probably be left in control of the waters near the mouth of the James River or at least of that river itself. The funeral of Maj. Gen. George Gibson, who was commissary general of the Army for 43 years, was held here today. President Lincoln, Secre- tary of State Seward, Secretary of the Interior Smith, members of Congress |and many oth~r distinguished persons |took part in the procession from the F street residenes of the dsceased to Congressional Cemetery.

The farmer and his wife immediately flew to the defense of theit environment and pointed out | its numerous dangers in such detall | that henceforth I shall be quite con- | | tent to stay quietly in the safe city. | The article grew out of an interesting discussion of teachers from all over the | country in a class on “Heredity and Environment.” The subject dealt with | protected environments and their ef- | fect on the individual, and it was ac- cepted that the farm was a “protected” | environment. As far as I know there | | are no statistics on the comparative | numbers of accidental deaths of chil- | dren on farms and children in cities, with due regard to the differences of population. Until these are such, opin- ions can only be just that, however one may judge by appearances. My life has been spent in an agricultural com- munity, but in a city, not on a farm, though I have visited on farms enough | to at least have an opinion about them. T4 is Interesting to hear the other side, and the letter publish=d is typical of those received. All tremendously re- sented the imputation that farm life was safe. Mrs. E. B. writes: “I think you know a great deal about babies, but after | reading your article on farm life I be- lieve vour knowledge along that line is limited. So far as danger is con- cerned the city child does not begin to face the danger a farm child does. He | plays in and out among cows and horses and around all kinds of danger- | | cus machinery. Even the traffic is a | | serious danger for many thousands who | live oa well traveled highways, trafiic | uncontrolled, terribly swift, often care- | less and reckless. Yet many thou- | sands of children walk to school along | these roads, not on sidewalks and | across crossings protected by police- men, but in the quiet (?) country. “How many times have you read of | children drowning in watering troughs or having limbs broken in falls from loads of hay, or on concrete floors from hay mows? Babies have been bitten, even killed, by pigs, kicked by horses, dragged in runaways. And these ac- cidents are not entirely due to care- lessness. Think of all the places the| desire to clibm amy lead a child in the | country. He certainly has greater op- | portunity to protect himself from a variety of dangers, It isn't what it used | to be to live on a farm.” [ Even after reading the above, one feels that all these dangers of farm life seem more avoidable than the chances of accident or death which surround a child every place in a city. The vast | machinery of civilization, cars, busses, | subways, * elevaters, automobiles, the | possible contacts with maniacs or de- generates, fires, explosions, all are multi- | plied the larger and more crowded the community. ~One can only conclude that life is dangerous wherever ane is, which is easily a safe and indisputable opinion.

The ancient theory that it was carried in the air is no longer tenable. Even the theory that it is carried in or by such inanimate objects as letters, clothing or old rags, is questionable.
