ANOTHER TYPE OF SHORT JACKET HAS COME INTO STYLE JUST NOW It Starts Definitely at Shoulder Blades and Falls Regularly ' Into Fol:is, Widening As They Descend Toward I'® Waistline, Where In order to be perfectly sure that the woman who says she is wearing the very latest thing is telling what she probably believes to be true, get behind her and study the general out- line. That view will tell the real story. Begin with the Jjacket. Perhaps it will be one of the very short gar- ments which somebody solemnly as- sured you a month ago were certain to go out because “everybody is wear- ing them now.” The ones referred to have gone out, but another type, equally short and loose, has come in. Fringe-Outlined Jackets. In various respects it differs from its forerunner. The fulness starts de- finitely at the ghoulder blades, and it falls regularly into a pair of folds, widening as they descend toward the ‘waistline, helow which they terminate. A month ago you did not see ball fringe-outlined, short, unfitted jack- ets. . Fringe .was coming in, but it bad not appeared in tailormades. Now somé of the best of the new models carry these trimmings, notab- »{y one in black satin cloth, he cape-backed jacket of which ‘had long arm eyes behind which are set (to look as though they wiere attached to an under-bodice) wide topped sleeves, whose lower ends are finished with turned back cuffs in black velvet. Very practical is the velvet collar brought high against the nape of the mneck, where early autumn winds do their deadliest work, , and = turned ‘back_in sharp points under the throat 10 expose a dainty white lingerie collar. . In this tailor made the - back :of the coat-proper, which extends well below. the hips at the waistline under the fringe-trimmed cape-jacket, is Jaid in a single wide box plait, flaring 1ts entire length, Is that anything like the coat of a few weeks ago? And is it not easlly seen that the cleverest taflor ever born cannot alter w_ last season's model to a semblance of this new one? The black satin cloth - creation shows a fetching phase of the partly box-pleated overskirt, than which nothing better becomes a slight figure If the pleats. are set at the back. Thus placed they add a little flare be- tween. hips-and .ankles, they drawin fulness . from: where it is not needed end they balance the width -of the ccat and its jacket-cape. The under dress of this black suit is as unimportant as that of another very.recent model in brown. Its ma- terial is one of those attractive weaves known as ratine, but really a rather heavily ribbed rep.

And that the wind may not reach the arms its wide sleeves are gathered half way below the elbow into <¢lose fitting broad cuffs, Rows of ball buttons matching those on the hips trim these cuffs, and some of a large size fasten the jacket’s fronts, which run under a broad collar in fur—the sole touch of black about this suit. Belts Distinguish New Suits. Belts figure more or less promi- nently on the new tallor mades. But they are not used to produce any- thing like the Russian blouse effect of yesteryears.

In the case of the appealing cloth model shown .in - garnet—a shade destined to enjoy & Successful win- ter season, albeit its half-sister, wine color, was a fashion of last autumn— a narrow belt in self-colored silk braid restrains the very slight ful- ness of the jacket. At the back this belt ripples above a side-pleated postilion falling over one of the very few absolutely plain skirts to be seen among recent im- portations. The collar of this coat, standing high ‘at the back, runs in front into narrow revers, and on the set-in loose sleeves are the narrow- gst of cuffs, Cape Sleeves Are New. Cape sleeves. are - decidedly new. As a feature of a tailor-made jacker they are certain to allure the woman who is looking for something mark- edly different from anything she has worn in street garb for many a year. And if that woman is prone to open air exercise a jacket. having sleeves of the new sort will certainly keep her warem, since her arms will be doubly covered. As in. a girlish looking model of black rep, the cape sleeves, blas cut and seamea from the center of the shoulders, fall over under sleeves of the conven- tional coat type. g Silk tailor braid hinds its scal- loped edgeés as well as those of ita shaped, smoothly fitted overskirt. At the waistline the sides of the cape sleeves are buttoned to either ena of a short belt crossing a box plait forming the back of the jacket, stitched flatly down and bound. In common with its braid-finished low- er edges. i A Z Autumn Hats Close Fitting. The hats worn with these four models are well worth study, for they are excellent types of the close- fitting headgear which every woman needs - for general running ‘ about. The turban above the cape jacket in black satin cloth is In black velvet land in the oblong shape which needs only a tall fantaisie garnishing. Particularly new is the black vel- vet hat worn with the garnet rep and distinguished by the narrowest of straight brims supporting a tanh crown trimmed with velvet loops and drooping spirals. 7 Similar spirals bedeck the black velvet hat worn with the brown rep costume, which also has the narrow- est of brims Yet it is less difficult | to wear than is the last -mentionea, because ,ts brim, while exceptionally narrow, rolls irregularly and its tall crown is draped. Silk Beavers Now Soft. Silk beaver hats, once stiff ana trying to wear, are now soft and easily posed. A very charming phase of this chapeau material is shown in the turbanabove the chpe- sleeve tailored suit. " ‘All in black, it has a flexible looking crown and a close brim upturned to a sharp point at the left side. ¥ MEXICAN WAR STORY IN PICTURES AT FOX'’S “For the Honor of Old Glory,” or the Stars and Stripes in Mexico, the big' Mexican war story taken at the. front and showing our boys in action, will be shown at Fox's theater today only as the added attraction. The four reels are chock full of strife and conflict, startling, stupendous, soul-stirring and sensational, - the plays teem with action and realiza- tion and show clearly the condttions as they really exist on the Mexicar frontier, The story opens showing clearly the atrocities committed by the Mexicans on the unfortunate Americans who happen to fall into their power. The report of these tor- tures having reached the United States government, a regiment is or- dered to the frontier. Just before the departure a Mexican is introduced to the colonel and makes such a favor- able impression upon him that he is induced to enlist with a promise from the colonel of rapid promotion, It later develops that the Mexican is a spy in the employ of the Mexican army and he, realizing that if this is found out he will stand but little Chance for his life, makes a bold and Successfu] escape. He returns to the Mexicans with a full report of the strength of the Americans and in- duces his general to send a decoy message to the opposing force, which leave the barricades unguarded, and receives permission to attack and de- stroy the quarters of the Americans. .| They descénded upon the unguarded quarters and attempt to obliterate all NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, JULY 14, 1014.

Fry first on one side and then on the other until a golden brown. Fried bread should be served immediately after cooking. It is always best to plant the gar- den in long rows. Cultivate after a rain.

All pieces of bread should be saved and utilized, The larger pieces will make good toast and the smaller ones will roll into crumbs. It is a gcod idea to place near the stove or on top of the warming oven a covered dish, and into this dish put every small scrap of bread; when you have collected enough, roll them and put them into a fruit jar; tie over the top of the fruit jar a piece of cheese- cloth.

A very intelligent and superior woman with whom I once werked ways prepared herself to write on any subject in a certain way. her describe it. “Before I take up my pen at all,” she says, possible, r “I sit down alone, make a determined effort to empty my mind of all matter, and then try to fill it as full as possible of the subject I am go! to write about. After that, I teke up my pen and begin,—never before.” As a method of preparing for composition the above formula is 3 tainly excellent. But I think it has & far broader gauge than that, Isn't an excellent formula for concentration on any task? Couldn’t we accomplish many things more quickly, more efficiently more satisfactorily if we approached them in this manner? First clean the mind of all other matter. Then till it chock full of matter in hand—be it washing dishes, writing a letter or planning an vertising campaign.. And then (if you can) In other words,—concentrate, keep all other matter out. 1 think I have sung the praises of concentration before and I'm 1 shall again. For concentration is the golden key to accom Without it we may painfully and slowly push our way through some ous path to success. into it. ‘With it we may unlock the door that leads Nothing was ever accomplished without concentration that could have been more efficlently accomplished with its help. The chief enemies to concentration are two. One is the thought things that you have done. The other is the thought of things that are about to do. I know a man whose mind is never really clear for concentration cause he cannot do a thing and then forget it. He is always if he did the last thing right. The result is that he can never his mind on the present. This, in turn, tully renders him likely to make takes and hence gives color and reason to his self-distrust. So he Is © in a viclous circle. Another man is always thinking of what he is going to do next. uses the typewriter he makes a hundred needless mistakes because he gt ahead of himself.
