Thesé can be had in different colors, and most of the names that have a vogue today can be obtained. Or, of course, you can make your own. But a monogram that lends itself to making a figured motif is an especially good one to have. Circles, diamonds, triangular and other geometric figures worked out of the initials of your name are no mean achievement and add a lot of snap to your things. An ordinasy little linen frock, for instance, hand- embroldered with you very own mono- gram, takes on the airs of a much mere expensive garment. The newest underthings prefer one of two ways of identifying themselves to their owners—either they write your given name in small, fine script em- broidered over in self-color, or else they use rather fancy letters, perhaps your two_initials, instead of all three. 12 &8 tiow: NHELoowis, 4P nigh on a8 3 . on the left shoulder; c! , shirts and slips, in the center front, and very small; panties, at the lower right or L This being smart consists in having| of ribbon on bag. | J | |left side above the flounce, lace or embroidered border.

Are Smart for Those Who Return to School — Various Shades of Dark Blue : \f Seen in New Tweed Coats — Berets Va- . P ried and Easy to Wear. BY MARY MARSHALL. HE may go back to school in brown and white. She may go back in navy blue and white, or she may choose black and white, which is really very youthful this season. It doesn't matter which of these three tone schemes she chooses, for each is smart and appropriate. Only there must be that touch of white to contrast with the dark tone. There will be washable white suede gloves, the es- | sential white at the neck, achieved by | a washable white blouse if she wears | a suit, or by detachable white vestee or | collar and cuffs jf she chooses a gress | and coat combination. Threre may be | a hit of white on ‘the hat and . her | choker may” consist of beads or rondels showing black or brown or blue com- | bined with white. It is barely possible that this school or college girl, whose wardrobe seems | 80 important to the whole family just at present, may choose a contrasting tone of beige or ecru with the dark tone of her suit, dress or coat, but pure Wwhite is a far smarter choice. More- over—and this is very important—white draws a sharper contrast with the sun- tanned tone of the face and hands. ik PURE white rvening dresses were | never more in demand than at present, for the very reason that they were sometimes avoided a few years ago. Because nowadays the youthful and smart thing to do is to wear | colo; that accentuate rather than d}:.;x:ulse the sun-tenned tones of the skin. First of all there is the coat to con- sider, and it may be of brown and | beige tweed or of all-beige camel's hair, to go with the brown-and-white combi- nation. There are rough black coats and tweed mixtures showing black with white or gray and black for the girl who has chosen the magple effect for her Autumn wardrobe. And various shades of dark blue have not been n glected in the new tweed coats for A ished with a narrow belt of fabrie or leather, to be drawn rather tightly about the normal waistline. It is possible to buy the new coat with a tweed beret to match, at a price toat is scarcely higher because of the | useful little headgear. x * s with jackets that ou. Tweed one- s, with _finger-tip-length jackets and closely drawn | belts at the normal waistline, two-piece | tweed suits to be worn with washable | blouses or pull-on sweater blouses, vel- veteen suits made with separate skirt and long-sleeved bolero jacket of the velveteen, worn over & jabot blouse of white silk or satin. The girl who doesn’t go back to achool, or collegz wearing a beret this Autumn will be a notable exception, because berets are as smart and varied as they are easy to wear. The beret, we must remember, really belongs to the girl who is still in school. She has worn its more youthful version as a little -.rl, and she has learned how to wear it. ¢ is older women who must be | taught the gentle art of putting it on| to the best advantage. * kW "T'O, wear the beret, or any other hat| for that matter, back on the head so that the hair is well displayed is no longer a fad of school girls. The fash- ion has been indorsed by the French milliners, and it is now as essential to smartness to show the on brow and over the ears as it was to hide it a few years ago. gnu- of 1 to For cooler days to come the college girl chgnses this red tweed wolf ¢ and rabbit lining.
