WOMEN'S FEATURES. Separate Jackets Offer Many Possibilities For Costume Variation . Ideal for Vacations To Ring the Changes On One oriTwo Frocks Wide Selection to Be Found in Local Shops of Both Daytime and Evening Models. BY MARGARET WARNER. OST women feel better dressed for the street if their costume has a jacket, or some little excuse for one; for evening, a jacket or cape is a definite asset, if the costume is at all formal. To meet this need the shops are showing a great variety of little cotton jackets, jacket blouses and capes that suggest many pleasing com- | binations with frocks for both daytime prices. These attractive come in plain white and printed pique, and linen weaves; with nets and laces for evening, they provide lots of good Ideas for increesing your wardrobe at small cost. They also offer innumer- mble ideas for the home dressmaker, when hot-weather laziness saps her ambition, for she can make a simple, e it a smart ladd t often has a more tailored effect than the home dressmaker can produce Cloque weave with flower col or some athe: larly nice at $2 end one-butto; waistline pock on either side hort sleeves.

Especially if our guestioner has made it plain, as she usually has, that she is the author of the book on pre-Inca ceramics.

Kelly green linen with a matching green linen | handbag makes a nice outfit with a white or natural colored skirt. These blouses are a little longer and belted and also come in interesting prints depicting little scenes from the British Isles. There is the thistle and bagpipe print in green and purply pink on white, the castle print also in lovely colors, and the thatched cottage and spinning wheel motif In this same shop we found some excellent boleros for evening wear Double white net made the one, with the fronts rounding up to meet the point of the dcep V. and lapels entirely covered with narrow rows of gathered lace. The little sleeves were also finished with rows | of lace. This comes in white, and pink. In the same general but without lapels, is a lace bolero with white satin binding at the edges and a bow of salin loops &t the | front. The slecves have nice detail. Both of these boleros are only $3. The “topper” that stood out as being the best looking in another shop is a box-pleated cape from a shallow, round shoulder yoke neckband collar ties at the front This is verv good at $2, and comes in white, black, navy and red. ® % ok x season— | que- | 'T'HE next shop we visited had some bright, effective prints on na- tural colored fine linen that were very different from any we have seen.

The school and the teacher are dedicated to the work of making the child and the course of study a hundred per cent unity. You are interested in grow- ing a healthy child first, last, all the time. Don't hesitate, when the condi- tions are set against the child, to cut down his school day, to cut out all unessential activities. Keep the child in school and keep him working with- in the limits of his present power, but not beyond them. Keeping him at a schedule of work in which he is fail- ing won't do any good, and it cer- tainly will do harm. In this situation the child's wishes are rarely to be taken as the par- ent's guide. Children want to do what they think is expected of them. Ambitious ones want to do more than is expected or even possible. If chil- dren could grow up without guidance, without the exercise of wise author- ity nature would have discovered that long ago and would have eliminated all the adults, leaving the world to the infants.

BY ELSIE PIERCE. \"E EXPECT the bride to be beau- tiful from head to toe, and the head is literally at the head of the list of beauty “musts.” A permanent for nine out of 10 heads is essential. But the wise bride sits for her permanent several weeks | before her wedding day. A permanent is usually at its best after a few sittings, and there is not the danger of her hair looking too freshly waved or set under the veil and after the | veil is removed. Then, too, if the hair should happen to up (it is only an isolated case that does hese days, but if it shi there's st time for a few sof treatments. An oil treatme | or a shampoo tint and daily brushings will leave the hair silky and manage- able. Also if a change of coiffure is planned, this too should be done well in advance so that the bride and her nearest relatives and friends become accustomed to the new hair-do. is considered poor taste for the bride | to g0 to extremes or drastic changes in her coiffure, make-up, etc. Let us consider the requisites of the coiffure that nestles under the veil cap, then we can talk about the latest bridal fashions. Even if the hair is, as a rule, worn quite short it may be allowed to grow a little for “the day,” for hair of medium length bursting into curls at the nepe of | the neck is usually more flattering when accompanied by a veil. If you are getting a haircut, this, like | the permanent or new hair-do, should come well in advance of the wedding day. | ‘Whether a veil is worn, or the very fashionable turban or tiny toque and | face veil, the coiffure that frames face as well as veil or hat outline is | most flattering. The brushed back from the brow hair-dos, so fashionable and so youthful, are only for the love- ly, young, unlined face, free from a single blemish, smooth as satin. A | few soft rolls nestling against the veil are good. The new angel rolls make one look particularly angelic, but they are best broken up a bit, else they look too harsh and set. Tapered curls, their fluffy, feathery | edres silhouetting the veil, are charm- ing. As I have already mentioned, med- ium length hair is best for the bride. And it may either end in rows of soft | curls (not the passe sausage rolls, of course) or the ends may be tucked | under page boy fashion—particularly | fashionable and flattering. If one is very young, feathery bangs or curls are permissible on the forehead and give on a piquant air. Personally, however, I prefer the brushed back | fashion. If the features are good | there's nothing more charming than | the center part with & few soft curis | at temple and sides. | One rule for bridal coiffures is: | The hairdress should be lovely and | | as unrumpled when the veil is re- moved. That is why the flat on | top or a suggestion of shadow wave or swirl is still popular. Avoid curls | piled high at the back.
