Please notice the commodious patch pockets, even on the cuffs, for small change. The two one-piece idea gowns prove how attractively serge and taffeta or satins combine. The casual sort of belts nevertheless give a very jaunty outing effect, together with the plaited skirts, which are somewhat longer than those of summer. With school days now at hand the high school girl will need a model, which may be developed in either cor- duroy or suitings.

A list of the requirements for gym- nasium and athletic exercise should be obtained from the college dean, but in nearly all schools these are the same, !middies and bloomers and gymnasium shoes, a bathing suit and rubber cap, with a short skirt and middy for ten- nis. For general outdoor wear a heavy sweater, a separate coat, a knockabout hat, raincoat and rubbers will be all that are needed. . A bright kimono, warm bath robe and slippers are added to the list, and then we come to the most delightful and often most vexing point of every out- fit—milady’s gowns.

One college L4 - * L3 - < Bididibibidib girl who is always well dressed for every occasion has one of these dresses made of dainty washable challis. For formal afternoon occasions a best dress is needed. Upon the college girl's evening outfit any amount of time and money may be spent, but the girlish gown always looks best. The dancing slippers and stockings should match her dress, and a warm cloak should be supplied to go with it. The tgilored suit for traveling, church and trips to the city will have a dressy walist for best occasions, and one of the plain ones will be worn with it upon usual ones. A stylish hat to match and gloves will complete the costume, Thus outfitted the little college fresh- man will find herself prepared for al- most every occasion that will arise, tii-!*’?i‘l-!’f"!%i#f‘l‘*'H'&O-l-"!'O-H"N'}h}Qi-b‘!‘000091‘i+0+i+")94 - i THE CARE OF VALUABLE RUGS ;00‘0*00#50?%00000%“‘&*9-&l#.-l'Q'H'l'i1-0-&*%’1'?-&*‘!-0('04'906~l-'l; E - mere buying of a rug by no means ends your responsibility in the matter, for the care of valuable rugs is most important unless you want them ruined, and since a handsome rug increases in value as years roll by it pays to keep it in order. In the first place, the ubiquitous vacuum cleaner should not be used on a rare rug since it loosens the nap in drawing out the dust. Just because a rug has stood centuries of wear it does not prove that it will stand a few years of neglect and abuse. Every year your collection should be gone over by an experienced dealer. An expert will at once be able to de- tect signs of wear and repair holes which if neglected would soon stretch to appalling proportions. Patching will not do. It is necessary to weave in new threads and filler in matched colors, a well known expert will tell you. It is inadvisable to attempt to clean valuable rugs yourself for obvious rea- sons, but during winter usage the best way to clean rugs at home is to turn them right side down and tap them gently with a light, flexible stick or piece of rubber on the wrong side and then sweep with a dampened broom. But if much soiled call in the expert, who will not only know how to re- juvenate it, but will take care of it for you in the summer. Rigs ) should {nevergbo' packed)away, 50 *| where they cannot have monthly in- spection at the very least. The washing of rugs is a simple mat- ter for the expert, but impossible for the housekeeper. At a reliable estab- lishment where they have oriental workmen they first remove carefully all dust and dirt and moth eggs and then wash with pure water and brush- es, adding afterward a cleaning prepa- ration which the true oriental will not divulge for the sake of his trade and because he knows best himself how to apply it. A reliable man will not use harmful acids or washes. After washing and scrubbing it the rug is rinsed and then carefully and evenly hung up to dry, a process which takes from twenty-four to forty-eight hours. Never fold a handsome rug when put- ting it away for the summer. Roll it with sheets of newspaper and camphor between and then wrap it in newspa- pers and sew it up tightly in an en- veloping sheet or non-wool cover. A UNIQUE HAT. HE new “sword handle” hat, which wins its name by its trimming of soft plumage, has two long quill feathers introduced at the left side into the soft banding, and loops help to secure the desired and very decorative eflect.

EIPYTYT L ST TET AT XL YT AT be SEEDS sown in August and trans- planted to permanent quarters in Scptember get a fine, strong root srowth that enables them to survive the cold of the winter if they are given some covering. A few will no doubt die, but there are always enough sur- viving to make a good clump of each variety sown. Perennials may always be sown at this time, and you gain thereby a whole vear's bloom. If you sow them next spring the majority of them will not bloom till the following year. Sown in August, transplanted in September, they will bloom next summer. Biennials, which are plants sown one year, blooming the second and then dying, may be had in your garden in bloom every year by sowing some each August to keep up the supply. Many annual seeds will survive a fall planting and appear early the next sea- son, far ahead of spring sown seeds. Annuals are best sown in the fall, for they are not to make their growth till spring. Midsummer is a good time, and even October, if the weather is mild. Make the ground mellow and fine in the usual way and then mark the place so that the seeds will not be disturbed in raking the beds. Cover with leaves, boughs or straw after the first real hard frost. Sow where they are to remain, though most annuals will stand trans- planting if you wish to move them. Some very fine annual cornflowers came from a five cent package of mixed seed sown late one warm September. There was no sign of them that fall. Early the following spring a great round clump appeared that was soon two and a half feet high and began very early to put out lovely large blossoms of blue, blue and white, pink, pink and white, and bloomed splendidly all sum- mer long. Sweet peas are often sown in the fall with good results. The seeds are large and hard and are put in a trench six inches deep, a little deeper even for fall planting. SCOTCH PLAIDS AS TRIMMING. Scotch plaids in silk will be uzed to trim” the returned petticoats which women find necessary with the fashion- rigd out In nayy. blug and black’sill,3# lable full skirty bl ] T XL T XTI YR YT AL X2 IEXTAL ILLL JL 24 SL 20 22 21 0] and gay blues to a rich plum, certalinly shines from shop windows—a pleasing autumn lure. Silhouettes mostly flare. Even closely pressed, plaited skirts must spring out at the bottom. We called two of our | pictured belt effects “casual.” Indeed, any woman may still choose her own waist line without failing Dame Fash- jon, provided, of course, her other | toilet accessories have the fall mark. One smart shop features effective afternoon models for autumn that are most wearable. Gray volline, a lovely purple and a greenish yellow are used in three charming gowns suitable for afternoon affairs. One gray frock is of lead colored taf- feta. From a hip skirt yoke fall three finely plaited flounces. The blouse, of the same silk, opens widely in front to show a crossed vest of white linen. The blouse edges are flnished with round steel buttons placed on the very edge. A standing dickey collar of the silk stands out from the neck all about, merging into the front edges of the blouse and adorned on the edge with the buttons. An insertion band of plaiting is placed in the blouse just above the patent leather belt, which is slipped through a steel slide. A lemon yellow voile dress fea- tures the skirt laid in seven inch tucks, two placed together below the hips and two placed at the knees. The waist opens in front in a deep U, the lower part draping into an oval passementerie nament. Part of the U is filled in with a crescent shaped yoke of lace. A collar of dotted black tulle encircles the neck; opened in front enough to show the attached ribbon band that is knottel and crossed over the decollete in front, The sleeves of this gown are long ani fitted. A pretty dress of violet gaberdiré is lightly gored and gathered into the waistband. Two seven-inch ruffies, satin overbound, are placed at the lo¥ - er edge. ' The top is a sort of blousy bolero, closed by one button at e lower edge. A wide sash girdle shows tn the opening of the bolero and alsd below it, tied diagonally. The mnn‘ sash ends, however, are posed on they opposite side. A white winged collag of fallle flares out beyond the ears. Porch wraps are one of the lightful feminine vanities which h§ evolyed from the summer life of coul try house or hotel. A heawy wrap i hardly required, yet something is need- ed to vell the bare neck and arms. THE pretty chiffon wraps may be trimm LA with bands of velvet, fur or taffeta & may have velvet dots sprinkled their surface to add weight. One these had a band which fell Joose in the front from the neck, falling fn long » ends. From each shoulder to about the hip line there were openings for the arms, which may be used or net, ac- cording to the wearer's taste.

It does seem that both in neckwear and millinery there is an unfailing, constantly flow- ing stream of new ideas. Let all other sources fail a fashion scenting nose and searching eye on the shopping tour, yet are they appeased by the gratifying array of the neckwear coun- ters and millinery shops. So it is that today you are to be told of a new and ravishing bit of neck- wear that splendidly promises to soften both features and beautify complexions —flesh colored organdie, made up in collars, cuffs and fichus! It is, of course, an evolution of the white organ- die, the latter still being in excellent standing. Description will not do jus- tice to the lovely new flesh colored bits of neckwear. One has really to see them to appreciate their “softening” effect. An exceedingly pretty and new effect is also obtained by the combination of two or more spick and span new ideas in neckwear—white organdie and cre- tonne. Both collars and cuffs, but prin- cipally collars, of cretonne are veiled with an upper layer of the white or- gandie. The organdie is usually picoted about the edges and is arranged in the form of one loose flap to each piece of the neckwear, being stitched only at one side to keep it in place. Taking a general survey of the new- est neckwear, a “touch of color” is un- doubtedly its chief characteristic. This is sometimes obtained by cretonne, sometimes by edging folds of lawn in plain colors (all colors), sometimes by colored embroidery and in one particu- larly striking and very chic bit of neck- wear by a rainbow edge. The latter is a plaited organdie jabot, one sided, of four inch width, having along its edge a one inch lawn border of rainbow stripes. These stripes are about a quar- ter inch in width and each of a differ- ent color. It's really ripping style. Have you seen the newest bracelets? Proud jewelers are displaying them in the cases devoted to their most exclu- sive goods. The bracelets are made en- tirely of that new green gold which has met with really a remarkable degree of popularity, considering its recent ap- pearance. No name is attached to the new bit of jewelry. The bracelet is a flexible strip which lies as flat as a silk ribbon when not worn. The strip is made of tiny squares of heavy gold, mysteriously linked, the squares being not quite,a, quarter, inch in, diameter. __The = Jeweler § says g that # they B are partly hand work and partly engine turned and a most exquisite production. QGreen gold, by the way, isn't dull. It has quite as high a gloss as the bright yellow gold so long in favor. Green gold is a charming substitute for the woman who thinks platinum teo pale. You will like to hear about some trinkets which all womankind would covet—tiny boxes about an inch in diameter, cut from solid bits of rose quartz jade, lapis lazuli, and one— would you believe {t?—from a single lovely violet tinted amethyst! IEach has a lid made from a single bit of stone to match’its box proper, rimmed and bound to the box by thin bands of | gold and tiny gold hinges. Another beautiful thing about them is that they range in price only from $25 to $65. The boxes could be used for many things—pins, bonbons, scents, ointment, etc. Corals and cameos are in fashion's front rank at present, and if you are fortunate enough to possess any heir- looms of this character be sure that they see the light o' day at an early date. Not only are cameo pins being worn at the throat—they are appear- ing upon hats, frequently being used crowns. Usually, however, cheaper pins than those worn as brooches are used. Belt buckles, those you buy for “his"* birthday, are now to be had without tongues. They are éver so much nicer than the old kind and very fashionable among suspenderiess males. Women are bound to be Interested in them as one more item added to the painfully small list of things one can give a mian and feel that he is really grateful. . In the millinery shops there are the, cutest little quilted hats imaginable, They are of silk, usually in pastel shades, and are worn for anything from sports to afternoon affairs and, indeed, for very informal evening wear. Con- sequently a chic hat of this description forms a very economic purchase for thy woman who possesses but a slende purse, » The swanlike turbans of smooth white coq feathers have been follow- ed by similar turbans formed of grays ish brown feathers that give them the appearance of our COMMON SPATTOWSS The “bird” hat, indeed, is quite the rage—that is, the bird hat made en.' tirely of feathers (always in turban form) and not go much the hat of straw, fabric or felt ornamented sim, to pin tailored bows at the side of hat ply with stuffed birds, as in the past. * - * PO vou want a real live, glowing face? Why, then, just attach some one of the many electrical appliances for massage to your electric fixtures and proceed to dab chained lightning all over your cheeks and neck.

Indeed, many women take regular electric massage from special- ists in the use of electricity with a view to wiping out the marks of age or worry and emoothing over the face with youthful bloom.
