EMBROIDERY IS USED LAVISHLY THIS YEAR A Dally Fashion Talk by Florence Rose EVERYWHERE here you hear ex pressed the belief thnt the new clothes for autumn nre different from riothes that have been worn before more mnd old kinds of trimmings arranged in new ways, rather tnaii because tnc line or the' silhouette lias changed very greatlv. This docs not mean thnt some very interesting dennrtiires in line nnd klllinuette have not been presented by the French designers. It siiuplv means that American women nre buying con servatively. Tliej were well satisfied with the styles they have been wearing. The straight-line, one-piece frock np- neals to and is hemming to the Ameri can woman pre-eminently. And she isii t going to discard it lit haste. In the frock shown today you may see how richly the embroidery is used. The frock is"of black velvet, built on straight, severe lines, and the front panel and the straps on the sleeve nre done In rich Oriental embroldety. With the frock is worn a small lint of llnme colored feathers and velvet of the same shade, that carries out the predominant note in tin wubrouierj. rvr r i.

Adventures With a Purse EVERY once In n whilo I run across n bargain that Is such n real, hon-tst-to-goodncsn bargain. I wish I could sec you right face to face, nnd talk to vou earnestly nnd seriously about it. And this Is ono of the times. Now, I know thnt I have written more than ono Adventuro about silk stockings, and in every case the value nnd price havo been good. Rut today I can tell yog of some thing thnt is more than good. One of the nicest shops In the city has just one i tnuietui ni siik stockings, mostly nil black. These if you please, nre not the kind with lisle feet and tops they nre silk from ton to toe the kind witli that white line in too and heel that Is nn unfailing sign of good hosiery. They aro n wcll-ndvcrtised brand, nnd their price Is $2,25, plus three cents war tax. I know three or four people who have bought some, both for themselves and for others. Ry tho time you road tills Adventure there should still be some pairs left, although I doubt if there be many. W'ih the first npproach of cool dnys the thought of winter with Its cold weather becomes nn obsession with me. So I hope you'll remember this if I seem to tnlk too early about winter. To my mind, it's much more thrilling to buy nnd plan things tor winter now than when it actually comes. I otter the above explanation for this Adventure and the following one. First of nil, I want to remind you that porch steps, from the constant wear on them be come slippery, nnd worn In places. And particularly is this a dangerous condi tion when winter, with coM days nnd slippery pavements, i comes nlong. A good protection is the use of rubber stair triads. Down In the lower part of town a shop is selling molded rub ber stair treads for ten cents each. If you have ever priced them, you will know that that is rqck:bottom price. Just the other dny I saw the same thing on sale some plncc else for fifteen cents. And then the window stripping. The tlmo to put window stripping on is not when the cold, penetrating winds arc doing their best to make the inside of the house as cold ns the outside. This weather stripping is for bale nt one of the shops starting nt ten cents for a piece of ten ynrds to sir cents a yard. One can get cither rubber or leather. For nnmrs of shops call W'alnat 3000, or address Killtor Woman's 1'ncr. Making More Money Snlesmanngrr at Nineteen Miss Llna F.

And four years niro sho was, ns she admits, "Just an ordinary stenocrntiher." "liow am l no It? i;asy," is the way MIps S' Idler sums up her success. "When my father died I knew that I had to better myself quickly. I looked abend nnd figured that I could do no better In nny other business than tho ono I wns In. Hut nt thnt tlmo I wns loaf an ordinary stenographer In the Chicago ofllco of the company. "I started by looking around the fac tory and studying the game from the ground up. I learned every selling point of our goods by heart nnd then I ap plied for a position ns a 'salesman.' I got It, too. because I proved that I know nil nhout tho goods I wanted to sell. After I landed my first order a trlnl that I wouldn't care to go through again things came easily. I hnd confidence In my ability and I knew that I simply had to make good. It wasn't long before I was sent Into New York state and flnnlly, before I was twenty. I was made head of tho New York ofllco.
