AH Classes. , Now that the ' majority of one'i dresses are made In two pieces, how many take advantage of this fact to work out attractive and Interesting Interchanges In-terchanges of blouses and skirts? A tendency to wear colored sweaters sweat-ers with white or with natural colored col-ored skirts is lately noted. From Paris comes a rumor of the combination combina-tion of pink blouses with nary-blue skirts, and in many shops are displayed dis-played unusual Jacket costumes or two-piece two-piece dresses, one part of which is quite a different tone from the other. This vogue presents opportunities, both for the woman of limited Income' and for the one whose wardrobe allowance al-lowance knows no bounds. For those In the first category, a glimpse into some of these possibilities may be of interest One will begin, for instance, with a two-piece dress of beige crepe de chine and another consisting of plaited black crepe skirt and white creie blouse. These two costumes, It will be noted, are Interchangeable, provided that care in their selection bas been taken. , ' A separate blouse of red crepe may be bought, which will entirely chnnge the character of the black skirt for a day at the races, whereas' the purchase pur-chase of a beige lace blouse will change the street dress into a dinner dress, at a moment's notice. A horl-sontally horl-sontally striped beige and black sweater would be equally effective with either skirt, while for a morning on the tennis court, a sleeveless white linen blouse is a possibility. For the girl whose lot is cast in the city, one cannot recommend too strongly a plaited black or navy skirt, with a matching three-quarter-length coat. She way wear blouses of any color, degree of formality, or material, and will always find herself well dressed for daytime occasions. Her hat will repeat the color note of the blouse, while her shoes may remain re-main the practical black. A few suggestions sug-gestions for blouses, in addition to the ubiquitous Vionnet blouse of silk, are those of candy-striped tub silks, or handkerchief linen, of flowered cotton prints, or of checked gingham, while the lightweight sweaters in lacy effect present further selections. For the older woman, this idea Is elso practicable, although she will do better to confine her choice to silks, colorful prints, or fine stripes, and satin ' crepe worked In both' sides of the material. Her blouses should be longer the finger-tip length Is smart and, for the majority, these should have the deep V, rever or surplice openings, which are so well suited to the figures and years of the mature woman. For one and all, the Importance of combining colors cannot be too strongly strong-ly emphasized. We have been slaves for some time now to the "matching' idea. Now we must go a step further and mix two colors. Red and blue, gray and black, green and yellow, violet vio-let and blue, rose and beige, mauve and brown, blue and green white or black with nil colors -the unions are endless, and the more subtle they are, the more interesting from the fashion point of view. Fashionable Fur Coat of Black and White Karacul 1 I. YM 4 " . T' f Barbara Kent, popular silver screen leadmg lady, appearing tn the motion picture, "Kjw I'll Tell One, wears fits fur coat which has been popular Curing the season. It Is made of b'rck and white karacul, with collar ard cuffs cf white fox fur. . Feminine Modes Becoming Feminine tvpes of suits are apt to Vi more becoming to the average v-mmD than mannish types. If one f ls that a suit suits her personality i.rii purpose this reason, it might be well to try on some of the bolero or f-rsenslile types before, finally deciding xJ i i Pa'- - - i 1 Apron for Little Girls; It Can Be Easily Made ' This little apron pattern combines many good features,' says the Woman's Wom-an's Home Companion, . Its chief asset as-set Is that it will not slip off the shout, ders and little girls wearing it In cooking classes or at play will not be bothered by this nor by its pulling up at the back of the neck. The amount of material necessary has been cut to a minimum and the design Is so simple that a little girl will have no difficulty In making it for herself. Knee Bracelets Gaining . Popularity in America Knee bracelets, although not entire ly new, are gradually being accepted by American women. ; No doubt it will be a long time before they achieve the place that the ankle, bracelet now holds. This, by the Way, is not so great as compared with the vogue it has had abroad for several , years. These bracelets remind one of the fancy Jeweled garters worn by knights of old. They are made of finely woven mesh with stone settings throughout, or else of links, and In both instances finished with very ornate clasps. A new bracelet is made of from eight to ten strands of Email beads of silver, attached to a very fancy clasp that Is set with a stone surrounded by smaller ones and much ornate metal work. This same bracelet may be secured In gold and steel finishes. Roped cords and chains in gold and silver plate are used singly or intertwined and set with stones and form very elaborate designs. Feature Mannish Lines in Viennese Lingerie Some of , the newest lingerie being made in Vienna is sky blue, n lie green or banana ' yellow and follows the masculine athletic line. There are short trunks - with smoothly fitting yokes and vests cut straight and plain, edged with bias bands. Sometimes Some-times there Is a monogram on the left side of the vest, and one house shows the monogram repeated on the yoke of the shorts. Another fashion gaining favor with lingerie makers Is nightgowns with cuffs and turnover collars like men's shirts. The three pieces make practical prac-tical sets, particularly suitable for travel wear. , Waterproof Stockings Now on English Market , Waterproof stockings have become popular with English women of fashion, fash-ion, and showers no longer cause rninmarks down the front of the stockings and mud splashes up the back. The waterproofing employed does not alter the appearance of the silk; Ealn rolls oft without leaving an Impression and the application of a damp sponge removes mud stains. These stockings can be washed again and again without any IH effects. Use Small Feather Fans as Trimming on Frock Among the original effects by designers de-signers to please the taste of the ultra-fashlonable ultra-fashlonable woman is a dance frock trimmed in small funs made of diamante di-amante and ostrich feathers. - Another Anoth-er novelty is an evening frock with a breastplate of black velvet that Is slipped over the head and fits snugly over the bodice of the frock. Another original effect In negligee robes Is an embroidery in black of clefs and notes of music Natural Skin Tints Are Now Favored by Paris After experimenting with green, mauve 'and yellow, Paris has gone back to natural skin tints. The fashionable make-np of the season sea-son Is pink and natural flesh. The tan powders are si Mora seen now and beauty parlors report a boom in the sale of rachel tints. Exaggeratedly bright lips, however, usually distinguish the make-up from nature's work, NOW LEADS SWEATER STYLE; FUR MODES FOR AUTUMN WEAR SWEATER smartness Is Interpreted through simplicity. The close-knitted close-knitted cardigan leads for the schoolgirl, school-girl, or for the debutante. On golf links, tennis courts, on avenue or boulevard, the cardigan proclaims Its popularity. The cardigan model In the picture is typical of the mode. The original for this illustration Is in the new and favored pea-green tone and Its accompanying accom-panying skirt Is also In shades of green. Now that these tailored looking sweaters and plaited skirts have become be-come as much a favorite for street as for . sports wear, many are choosing them In such shades as parchment. .A Close Knitted beige, sand and kindred tones. For golf and tennis and general country club wear ; the soft pastel shades are best liked. v ' For the late summer wear a keen wholehearted endorsement is being given to pink for sweater costumes. The sweaters are extremely lightweight light-weight and in most instances a cardigan cardi-gan Is worn over a round-necked slip-on slip-on which matches It All white is a close competitor to pink. Skirts are either of pink flannel with sweater accompaniment or of white plaited crepe de chine. The new fall models emphasize lovely heather mixtures. They also Introduce a considerable use of angora. an-gora. The very latest is for a Jumper close knitted, with matching cardigan styled of fine angora Jersey. ' Among the interesting styles, which claim early attention for autumn is the four-piece tweed-and-knltted cos- u A Swagger Paine. Its practicality is at once apparent, ap-parent, provided as It Is with a slipover slip-over sweater, a cardigan and a matching match-ing thmt knitted scarf, the skirt of tweed and plaited. A novelty Included In fall showings Is a sweater with stitch and coloring to resemble reptile skin. m Uiffev ( m f'r-,v, 'if I VI C1 1 f J ill l K "'( ; i ( Sure to attract the Interest of the college girl is the sweater which has tiny candy stripes In two tones. As to daring originality, modern peltry is establishing a record. No one, after surveying advance autumn au-tumn 6tyles,, can ever rightfully accuse ac-cuse the furrier as lacking in imagination. imagina-tion. Calfskin transformed into coats of compelling beauty, lambskin shaved until it Is as supple as velvet, zebra stripes and leopard spots conjured Into artful design, Inlays of contrasting furs, pelts dyed with baffling camouflage, camou-flage, thus does a master cunning manipulate fashionable furs. As an example of true artistry in Cardigan. peltry there's this remarkable coat which pretty Barbara Kent of film fame is wearing in the accompanying picture. Tan pony with red leather trimmings, could a handsomer combination combi-nation be devised? Well, no newspaper portrait can do this coat Justice, Its coloring is too vibrant to be told In printer's ink. This is only one of countless Just such swagger effects, as the autumn modes are now introducing. intro-ducing. A startling effect is achieved in a white caracul splotched with great dabs of black. This same is collared and cuffed with showy white fox. With white kid footwear, white felt hat, and a white leather gardenia cuddled cud-dled In the fur, the ensemble spells enchantment. Then there are the new fanciful two-toned effects. Tan caracul made up with godets of a darker shade, Is highlighted In the new fashions.

"I fancy they enjoy them pretty well, don't they?" said Daddy. "Yes, tbey love them," replied Nancy. . "Do they ever scrap over who shall get a crumb first?" added Daddy. "No," said Nick, "they don't, seem to. They really are very cunning, and they seem to be very friendly and get along beautifully." "Well, you know," said Daddy, "the other day I saw some birds having an awful fight "One little sparrow had found a very big crumb and was trying to keep it all to himself." "Sparrows are supposed to be rather rath-er fond of fighting, aren't they. Daddy?" Dad-dy?" asked Nick. "They do seem to be considerable crosser and to have more cranky natures na-tures than other birds. " "But perhaps it is because they are always , around us, and they never have a quarrel that we don't see it "But really, we ought to be grateful to the sparrows, for we have them always al-ways with us, even when other birds are not fond of our weather, or even in the city in the winter time." "Yes, that's true," said Nancy. "And they're plucky little creatures, too, never minding bad weather, not even the very worst. "But do tell us more about the fight, Daddy." "Another little sparrow," continued Daddy, "was furious when he saw the selfishness of the first sparrow. "He completely lost his temper.' He flew at the first little sparrow and He Flew at the First Little Sparrow. hit him with his wings Just as hard as ever he could. "Then a number of sparrows came and Joined in the fight. Some took the side of the first sparrow and some of the second sparrow. "It really might have been quite a serious battle had not an old sparrow stepped In. and pitched his voice way up in the air. 4'He simply shrieked at the sparrows. spar-rows. "'Stop! Stop at oncel he cried. "All the sparrows stopped at once, for they were very innrti afraid of the old sparrow. "He was quite their leader, and, though he was a very Jolly old soul and would enter Into ail their sports, still he was quite strict. " 'Aren't you ashamed of yourselves, all of you, he continued 'you, little first sparrow, for being so selfish, and, little second one, for losing your temper, tem-per, and the rest of you for Joining in?' "And all ' the little sparrows hung their heads in shame, and they then and there promised the old sparrow that they would never again be greedy and selfish nor would they fight. "The old sparrow then looked verj much relieved, for it always made him very unhappy when the sparrows wert naughty."

Thinking she did not look much pleased, he said, "Well, don't you like it mother?" "Yes, Jack, I do like it but it seems to me you might have made it a little more neatly." Jack replied, "You see I didn't want it to look as though a girl had made It" Catting Out Slang Kenneth, aged three, had been cautioned cau-tioned constantly about picking up the slang used by his older brothers.
