NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1028, Mary Enthusiastically Accepts the " Chance to Drive Nr. Under- ‘wood’s New Car The sight of the letter from Har- riet Braithwaite which I knew con- tained Mary's weekly allowance was like a spur to the anxiety 1 was feeling concerning the girl's inex- ‘plicable use of her money. I no- ticed that she did not open the let- ter, but slipped it into the pocket of the fetching apron which she was wearing over her dress. Evi- dently the arrival of Jerry interruptel her in her morning of her room. “There's a treat in store for you, Mary,” I said hastily, hoping that she did not notice the perturbation which T felt must be written on my face for all the world to see. “Mr. Underwood wants to take you and Marion over to Riverhead this morning to get Marion’s driving license—learner, you know. You have your junior license haven't you?" “Oh, yes." “I believe that he plans you shall drive over and that he will teach Marion on the way back. There is nothing to hinder your going, I hope.” Did she hesitate? but when her answer came, emphatic. “Not a thing in the world. Isn't that the spiffiest idea? I'm in luck, too, all my work done and all dressed for the ride. All 1 have to do is to take off this apron. I don't believe Marjon is dressed, though. Bhe was lying down when I was up there last. I'll have time to write a letter I've been owing while she's dressing. Do you know, Auntie Madge, I think you'd better tell her about this drive. I wou think she's been crying. A tiny bell tinkled somewhere in my consciousness. It was not her fear of disturbing Marion which was back of her urging me to go to the young girl's room. She was anxious 10 get to her own room and write a letter, a letter which no doubt she meant to post at Riverhead. From T thought so, it was Love's Awakening .5 By Adele Garripon 8'-1 Woman vagaries of both Mary and Marlon. Like most other girls they would neglect their correspondence for weeks and then at the most inop- portune time would be late for some important engagement and keep people fuming while they finished some belated letter. But, someway, I did not believe this letter belonged to the usual inconsequential category of school girl letters. As surely as it it were already written and addreased did I believe that it would bear the name, “Janet Rawdon.” Yet I had not & scintilla of evidence upon which to base my beljef. “Will you Madge?” Mary's voice brovght me out of my speculations with a jerk. “Ot course, dear,” I said hastily. “I'm worried over Marion's crying.” I was miserably conscious that I was giving only ahout one fourth the reason for my abstraction, but Mary accepted it unsuspectingly, to all appearances. “Oh, I don't think she's crying now,"” she said cheerily, “and I guess it's nothing but what a chance excuse me, Auntie to drive that car would cure. Oh, boy, that's some car!" She was at the corner of the house when she finished and a few seconds later I heard the side ver. anda door close and knew tI ‘he was on the way to her room. I fol- lowed more slowly and went direct. ly to Marion's room. knocking lightly so that Lillian, who T hoped was asleep in her own room, might not be disturbed. Marion opened the door with a look which was halt defiance and half appeal. That she had been veeping was plain, but I alse saw I|that she had been trying to efface the traces of the tears. In the mest matter-of-fact tones possible I put a question. “How quickly can you dress, Marion?

Burgess Loek where you run, or goodness knows, ‘You're very apt to stub your toes. —Cubby Bear Cubby Bear was having a wonder- ful time all by himself. He had climbed up on the roof of Farmer Brown’s sugar-house over in the Green Forest and had knocked down the piece of stovepipe which was the chimney of the little sugar- house. Now he was cuffing it and knocking 1t around the ground, much as you have seen a Kitten knock a spool around. It didn't tight back. No, 8ir, it didn’t fight back. It rolled and it made a noise, and altogether it made a very nice plaything. At least Cubby thought so. For the time being he had for- gotten all about the smell of Wood Mice and of Trader the Wood Rat, which had come from inside that little sugar-house. You know he had been trying to break in when he knocked off the chimney. That was just like Cubby. Bears have no persistence. If they start to do a thing and something distracts their attention they forget about what they had started to do. All Cubby thought about now was play- ing with that old piece of stovepipe. He thrust a little black paw way into it and then stood up with it, still on his arm. That frightened Bim for a minute and he swung that arm. That sent the piece of stovepipe flying. Instantly Cubby ‘was after it and pounced on it as if it were something alive. Peeping through cracks in sugar-house, Whitefoot and Mrs. Whitefoot and Trader the Wood Rat watched what was going on. You see, they had heard the noise and after a while curiosity got the best of them. Cubby was so busy that he failed te look around to see if anybody else were present.. In other words, he forgot to watch out. Yes, sir, he forgot to watch out. There was a| sudden loud sniff. Cubby dropped | that piece of stovepipe as if it had | burned him. He turned toward the place that loud sniff had come from. Such a look as there was on his face! He scrambled to his feet and away he went. You wouldn't be- lieve that a little Bear could run as fast as Cubby ran. All the time he kept trying to look behind him Now this is a very bad thing for any one to try to do—to run and look behind at the same time. Only people whose eyes are set way back. like those of Peter Rabbit, can do that successfully. There was an stump in the clearing. Cubby Bear ran right smack into it!

Then he took a few more steps in that direction. Cubby clung more tightly than ever and did his best to climb a little higher. Then Buster lost all interest in Cubby and shuffled over to the sugar-house. It was the turn- -thin of Whitefoot the Wood Mouse and Mrs. Whiefoot and Trader the Wood ‘Rat to run. They ran and hid in their nests and wondered if it would be possible for great big Buster Bear to get into that sugar-house. Copyright, 1928, by T. W.

If the child has a cold, his dispo- sition may be disturbed and his at- tention poor. Certainly a child with frequent toothaches cannot keep his mind on what the teacher is saying.

The standing collor and knee banding om the Paquin model at the left are of racdoon. Next is & grey kasha collar in fox, and at the rlnt you see a Lelong importation of beige and wool velour with shawl BY HENRI BENDEL New York, Aug. 17—Unysual and discreet uses of fur are the chief characteristics of the new autumn costumes. Furs have-not been so popular for many a year. And I doubt if they ever have been used with more originality and ingenuity. For the most part, the furs that are used to trim dresses or ensembles arc the short, pliable furs, while those used on coats may be any of the long-haired variety. Fur bandings on hats promise to be popular and fur touches herc and there on a coat—as inserts, pockets, belts—are seen often. ‘Three Rules for Furs If fur collars a coat, certain new apply, It it is a soft, deep fur, ay edge a collar of original cut. It of a stauncher character, fur may fashion one of the new short stand- ing collars whose brevity makes them almost square when cut. If flat fur is used, it is treated like fabric and a deep shawl collar, a jabot collur, a collarctte or eother individual neck treatment is scen. Lelong uses the ever-ever favor- ite, beaver, on a beige wool velour coat he shows for fall. The collar is a long shawl one that widens perceptibly at the end where it crossés to give an excellent line to the coat. Deep cuffs extend almost to the elbow, leaving a tiny band- ing of the velour at the lower edge. I have designed a little turban of summer ermine dyed brown as the beaver for wear with this coat. Its sole trimming is a felt band that flares to more width on the right side, Paquin choses delicate fox to trim a grey casha coat for autumn. The fox edges the kasha collar in such a way as to make a charming triangular frame for the face, This coat is cut on straight lines but with that more luxurious full- ness that women demand now. There is grace and beauty in the simplicity of its lines. And using fox only to edge the collar marks it as a rare thing, desirable. With this coat I advocae a lit- tle fur turban that will carry out the color scheme. Two shades of grey caracul (wind into a swathed turban of rich chic. With a collar that stands as high in the back as this one does, only a tight fitting hat is suitable. The turban that borrows a bit of its swank from the heret is an admirable choice, Raccoon Goes Formal collar and deep cuffs of beaver o —————— e —ri—— S ———— “This winter we will see many furs used as decoration that formerly fashioned sports coats. Susliky and raccoon are two examples. Paquin uses raccoon successfully on a modish tawny tan velour coat for afternoon wear. The racoon fashions the double standing collar and bands the coat with a eight- inch turry strip that follows the un- even lengths of this coat which dips in back and rises slightly in front. Self-banding is handstitched in triangular fashion from the cuffs to the elbow of the sleeves and sim- ilar banding simulates pleats down the back of the coat. Many winter coats enrich their beauty in this, or similar ways. For most of the coats give the appearance of elegant sim- plicity but in reality are luxurious and extravagantly fashioned. Money Values Show Changes Especxally When Women Are Workels. “Econamnc mdependonce is giving women an entirely different set of money-values. It is making them more careful of their savings and far more interested and wary of their investments. CATHERINE O. MORGAN * This statement came from Cath- arine O. Morgan, manager of the MWomen's Investment Service of ore of New York's largest bend houses. “Women's growing interest in fi- nance is tremendous,” Mrs. Morgan said. “In my department which was established to give women any kind of financial information , they re- quired, we have had a 300 per cent increase in patrons in two years. “Because women are unfamiliar with investment and other kinds of finance they ars more apt to take a specialist's advice than men are, I believe. “It is interesting to note that wo- men formy a large percentage of stockholders in the most outstand- ing companies in America, such American Telephone & Telegraph, 55 per cent; General Electric, 50 per cent; Eastman Kodak, 50 per cent, The percentage of women inter- ested in absolutely unapeculative investments, such as Liberty bonds, real estate bonds and mortagages and savings accounts has increased enormously, also. This shows that women, when they begin to invest, are conservative in that they prefer to safeguard their investments against losses rather than take & chance to make more. “Women, I think, are steadily commanding a more important place in the financial world, both as clients and as workers.” TOMATOES AU GRATIN Sliced tomatoes, cooked au gratin are delitious. Grill tomatoes sliced three-fourths of an inch thick and dipped in crackers. Arrange in a shallow baking dish, cover with cheese sauce and crumbs and put under the oven flame to brown quickly. SLATE BLUE The new color in tweeds is slate blue, a soft, becoming medium blue with a silver cast to it. Lynx, bad- ger and other furs of soft, long hair are excellent with it as well as the short furs that are so much in vogue this reason.

By Amelita Galli-Curct The secret of dressing becoming- ly is for a woman to accenuate her good points. The very first thing to be considered in summing up those points is her complexion. Nowadays, with 50 many beauty parlors, and good ones, too, no woman need have a bad complexion. The eyea and hair play their part in the selection of shades and col- ors which are becoming, though the main item to e considered is the complexion; blonde, brunet or me- dium. In every one of these therc are exceptions to the rule of what not to wear, but only experiment before a mirror will prove the cor- rectness of it. Try it by glaring day- light if the fabric is to be worn then, or use artifical light if for evening wear. Reds for Biondes . Some blondes look particularly well in red, if the shade is not too violgnt, and black brings out a blonde’s good points startingly, be- sides being distinguished. Indeed, every woman should have at least one black dress in her wardrobe. As for pastel shades, they idolize the blonde. If the complexion, how- ever, has even a hint of sallowness, purple or green or any shade is dangerous. This last named colors are still more unbecoming to a brunette, for if there is a tendency to sallowness, the brunet appears to have it in more marked d:gree. On the other hand, some shades of purple make niany brunets appear radiant. Down through the ages brunets have worn glowing. vivid reds and yellows with charming result. But the dusky shades of brilliant colors which seem to flame as through a mist are also effective with the brunet type. They give the “sorceress” air. Use Only One Decoration The wise woman, in buying any shade to be worn at night, tries out of course, the effect under artificial light. Coiors have a strange trick of changing almost beyond recognition viewed in this way, and blue is, 1 think, the most deceptive of all. There is one heautiful woman of whom 1 know who searched in vain for & pale blue that really looked ¥ P T S L R oo pale blue by electric light. Finally she had experiments made with dyes at a silk factory. At last the right shade was found. By daylight it had pronouncsd green tint. Even the best regulated minds may err and select a dress which promised well but falls a good way short of being becoming. Then, the addition of some little detail may revolutionize the whole effect; & flower, a colored comb, a pair of earrings, cven a pair of shoss cam make or mar a gown. But use enly one detail. a single note ef color. Otherwise it detracts from the lime.
