— THE LATEST FASHIONS Every Woman a Law to Herself .Fashion’s Realm—Chance for Distinction or Absurdity New York, October 12%— What are the authoritative points in late fashions is a question not easily answered when every model by a designer of distinction, is offset by | others from as important sources that differ in line, style and finish, Coats are long and other coats are short, skirts wide and flaring, yet some as well endorsed measure only two yards at the foot. Sleeves are full and long in smartest models, but a few wonderfully good frocks show tight sleeves ending at the knuckles, | Waist and hip lines are also vari- able and one can be modish in Wat- ! teau draperies, or in a skirt that clings ! to the figure. Pick the Silhouette. The fashion reporter can only call attention to the various types of cos- tumes shown, and give news of the details and trimmings, the individual ! woman must either decide for herself what style to adopt or follow the lead : of some one in whom she has con- fidence. Probably the best plan is . to determine what things are taboo for your figure coloring and require- nients; then select carefully from the models that are left. The silhouette must be studied. If you can carry off the short skirted flaring mode that tapers up to the small jaunty hat; that is a youthful and modish type. If your breadth of hip and avoirdu- pois make this unwise, there are loose straight coats and equally smart broads hats, and a whole host of tur- bans and tricorns that match up well with any face and almost any outline. McCall Desige Economy Observed The complexity of styles, helps a woman to solve the problem of com- bining smartness with economy, since every single garment in the outfit can be easily modified to fall in line with fashion’s latest edicts, when these are so various and in many instances so contradictory. The width of skirt is a thing for in- dividual choice, but the bodice calls for considerable smoothness in its fitting, especially about the chest and shoulders, while careless, sloppy fitt- ing above the belt has suddenly and completely vanished. Backs are nar- row, shoulders generally drooping, and there is no longer any prejudice against seams. £3 Sleeve Tendencies "Three quarter sleeves are out. For day wear sleeves must be long, but as elbow cuffs of various sorts are especially good, it is not much of a trick to transform a passed sleeve in- to the latest lines. The sleeve may ‘be tight or loose, leg-o’-mutton or pre- late, and have muffs or fiinish with a bracelet of silk cord at the wrist. At this point there is no evidence of the fullness manifested at the elbow in so many late models. » The eighteenth: century sleeve, made of white batiste or organdie, which ends in a frill at the hand; held in place by a bracelet of velvet ribbon is returned to fashion. These sleeves aré employed in jumper blouses of blue or black taffeta, while the same organdie edges the skirt and tips the sash-ends in a number ' of pretty French house fregks. The unlined blouses of this crepe, which are a present fad, are also varied and made a bit more practical by organdie un- derbodies and -meck pieces. Materiats. There is nothing startling in the way of novel materials. Serge, broadclotl, velvet, faille and all other silken weaves from tafféta up are in the running, while duvetyn, velour plush and all of the metal brocades are at the forefront of fashionable favor. Broadcloth trimmed lavishly with fur, and cotton velvet similarly orna- mented are very well endorsed, } 1 Lite Talks on Health and Hygiene LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT. » By Dr. Samuel Dixon. Every youngster is familiar with ! the story of how a tea kettle suggest- , ed the steam engine. It is one of thousands of examples of little things | that count. Of course, the tendency is io overlook small matters and to sneer at their importance. This is [ee in regard to our health and well as the other business of life. Theres are certain common habits which ev j erybody overlooks because they are ‘ so common and yet these trifles may have a decided influence at times. Mihions of people moisten postage | stamps with their tongues every day These may Have been shoved across a soiled counter or torn off with dirty hands an instant before but unfortu- | nately a habit plus convenience, leads the majority of people to the custom of affixing them in this manner. An- ; other seemingly trifling habit which may readily lead to difficulties is that of ripping open with the fingers, let- ters that have heen sealed with mu- , cilage plus saliva. | In view of the fact that there are thousands of sufferers from tubercu- losis and other diseases these seem- ingly insignificant acts are really fraught with danger. Our mouths, are perhaps the chief avenue by which germs of disease enter the system and’ our hands are the principal Means of carrying thém there. Watch anybody for a.féw miinute who 18 thinking ‘or writifig and sée how their fingérs are carried to their face, If they are not clean they are almiost certain to carry germs to the mouth. Once there, decayed of unclean teeth ‘furnish splended breeding grounds. Children in school chew their pen- cils'and as often as not exchange them unless they are warned against it and chew some else’s. Many peo- ple wet their fingers with their tongue to turn the pages of books and despite all that has been said and written by ey carrying disease germs, they resort to this method of counting bills. These are such simple things that unthinkingly you may sneer at them as not of sufficient importance ‘to warrant care. For all they are pre- cautions worth observing and it is well to cultivate a certain fastidious- ness and to err on the side of scrupu- lous cleanliness for it is little things that count. : AUTO VIOLATIONS REDUCED. Through work of the State police | force, violations ¢f the automobile ‘reg ulations .have been considerably re- ‘duced on State main highways and on many of the cther roads of the State. The Highway Department, which has been working on the preliminaries for the automobile registration for 1915 has been assured the co-operation of the State police next year when a record breaking registration of cars is expected. The applications are now being received and failure to display tags on Jan. 1, will mean arrest. The State police are prosecuting such vi- olators of automobile regulations as run recklessly or without tags or lights. Arrests have alsc been made for display of tags which have turnea out to be counterfeit tags are new vi- olations and are being closely watch- ed. Commissioner Cunningham has asked the State police to keep off the highways any vehicles which tend to damage the roadways. LABOR LAWS COMPARED A comparison of the labor laws of the various states shows that the votes of women have not brought a- bout better conditions in the suffrage states than exist in male suffrage states have practically identical con- ditions industrially and geograph- ically. In other words there is not a law for the protection of working wo- men found in suffrage states which cannot be met by laws equally as good or better in adjoining male suff- rage states. And if “Women neod the the vote to get clean streets, pure food; prevent disease, etc.” how did | it happen that Pennsylvania's Health Exhibit (where only men vote, won first prize at the San Francisce fair ?7—Adv.

Sleeves of evening coats have huge fur cuffs that take the place of muffs, and most of them have equally wide and comfortable collars of the same pelt.

His sister looked exasperated. “Now, Evarts,” she began, in the maddening tone of one five years older, “you needn’t put on that air with me, for I understand all your little tricks, my child! The innocent, bewildered act is old stuff! Don’t think you can hook- wing me until the moment when you walk into my presence and wish a Mrs. Evarts on me!
