ur Suits Rolling Collar of Lapin Jacket Is Worn Open to Reveal Smart ‘Wool Scarf Knotted at Front— Jersey Type of Sports Cos- tume Favored at Games — Sweaters Worn as Blouses. BY MARY MARSHALL. [ENJane selects her ensemble for an important foot ball game she has a real problem to solve. If Jane could go shopping with an unlimited dress allowance at her disposal it would be simple enough. She would buy or have made one of the new fur suits, consisting of & short flaring jacket and a wrap-around flared skirt. Under this she would wear a simple, one-piece silk dress of the sort that she could wear contentedly when she stopped for din- ner on the way from the game. When she stopped for luncheon on the way to the game she would wear the jacket without the skirt, but the skirt she would wear to keep her comfortably warm sifting in the grand stand. e % o 'HAT at least is what Jane says she would wear. When it came right down to the actual selection she might choose something else, for the sake of following more closely the fashion of the other girls in her group. A type of suit worn so often by the smarter younger women at this Au- tummn’s games that it is spoken of as the foot ball suit consists of a flaring . short lapin jacket and a skirt of bright- colored wool crepe—green or red or reddish brown. The jacket is lined with the same material and the belt is made of suede leather. Sometimes this type of lapin jacket is worn with a separate two-plece, or one-piece, bright-calored wool dress closely belted at the normal ‘waistline. Usually the rolling collar of the lapin Jacket is worn open, to reveal a smart wool scarf knotted at the front. * x % % JUDGINO from the spectator fashions at the big games this season, there ’cm be no d?ubt as to tthe plm_;hof u?: jersey type of sports costume. There -Treey}:uoe outfit that is deservedly gaining popularity. It consists of a wrap-around skirt and two pull-over sweaters. One of the sweaters, made with a round or V neck, is worn as & blouse—the other, which 1s finished with slide fasteners to hold it close at the neck, is worn as a jacket, and usu- ally matches the skirt, while the blouse sweater worn beneath is of contrasting color. Dresses of this sort will be worn beneath full-length fur coats at the last games of the season, where weather conditions make warm clothing essen- tial. There are lovely woolen sweaters to be worn as blouses with the fur-trimmed Winter suit. They are soft, light in weight, but thicker and warmer than the blouse sweaters of other years and N fi?lenfly made u; tv“z colo} o ~ and red, green and yellow, green black or y‘:llow ‘l';ld ?J}:t{hw g0 ;lgl black or green suits.

Often with help f the teacher a child can do all his home work in free periods in school hours. Children learn to concentrate much beotter if given a quiet place to study. If you can set aside no room for study you might place a suitable desk in your dining room, & room that can be kept . quiet save at meal times. If the light and air are suitable & child may study in his own room, It is too much to ex- t a child to concentrate if he is al- owed to do his lessons in the family sitting room, other distractions prevail. It is not difficult to rig up a suitable desk at small expgnse. The important thing is that it should be of the right | rep, height and in the right place for the light. Curtain Must Fit Room Decoration 1f you want your rooms to look truly harmonious you should see that the window ourtains are in keeping with the period or geheral feeling of the room furnishings. If your room is furnished in simple peasant type of furniture the chintz or net or other materigl chosen for the curtains should be of the simple peasant sort. Plain net with a border of | BPPe coarse cross-stitch work is often most effective. If your room is furnished in modernist manner you should use plain materials or else those with a twentieth century design. Even to the observer who 1s not es- peclally observant, window curtains that are out of keeping with the room strike s discordant note that is disturbing. Rich curtain materials, no matter how' attractive in shemselves, should " never be used in an inexpensively fur- nished room. Silk brocade curtains are #s out of place in a room furnished with inexpensive cottage furniture as dhmcndshmd rubjes would be on a gingham house dress. The question of the correct length for * .. window curtains is one that frequently arises with the amateur interior deco- rator. As a rule formal ovord.rm should hang within 1 inch of the s and sash curtains should just esgape sill. If the Overdrapery is ndt”full h—that {s, hanging to within an fnch of the floor—the effect is better to E" it just sill length, though it i8 not frequently made to extend 8 or 9 fnches longer than the sill-length sash curtain.

Furs That Flatter You Neckpieces of All Kinds Are Provided for Present Season— Collarets Are Espe- cially Attractive — Little Confections of Ermine. JECKS have definitely gone into the swaddling age again this Autumn, You must retreat into your furs if you want to look like a lady. Fur neckpieces of all kinds abound. But the flat fur scarf that can knot it- self into an Ascot or a jaunty off-the- shoulder knot or bow is probably the :,en hz’ in the world for the majority you have a mind to be yourself and g0 in for a little de luxe business in the way of neck decoration, there are many delectable little collarets that would make any girl act a little more demure for the wearing. They remind you of other days when girls walked with lowered éyes and mitt- incased hands meekly clasped in front of them. But they have a distinct dash to them, in addition, which make them essentially of this age of independence in women. There are elegant little chokers of fine marten furs that strike envy into any heart. There are little confections of ermine that tle in the back and give a regal look to an outfit, especially if it happens to be of some luxury material such as velvet. There are the sumptuous fox scarfs, in silver, black, white and cross, that always were good. But for the average purse there are some elegant pieces of lapin, dyed this or that color, that make a proud pos- sessor of her who wears one, For fur scarfs there are many, many styles And many, many furs. All the lambs are excellent, and they wear like iron. All the satiny moire-like furs are high in the mode, and this means breltschwantz, called broadtail for short; caracul, galiak, Persian lamb and broadtail. Dyed er- mine is a luxurious brand of neckpiece for which to g:arn Mink, marten and all are beautiful. newest modes have a band the size of a high collar for circling the neck, and then flare into all kinds of decorative ends, once they have rounded the neck and made the under-the-chin . They may be fanlike in their flare, or petaled like , they may be triangular and very modern, they may be merely circu« lar and fall like a double jabot without making a bow Nor do need have your scarf en- tirely of fur. If you're clever with the needle—and this Winter is the time to brush up on 'such homely arts and be a lady—you can use bands of fur to out- line the niftiest little neckpieces. Such a one is made of the softest of shim- mering lame, with bands of ermine. It is a dinner neck scarf, reserved for glamorous occasions. It has width through it and it fastens with a little Tosette of on the side and its flaring ends swing, one front and one most like velvet ribbon. A third confection of fur is the white collaret of real ermine or of white lapin. It has a ruffie of the fur around the outside and is the epitome of feminine liness and charm. neckpieces to be many, many in Cincinnal for the warmer gai end-of the-season games, ing.
