THANKSGIVING
While we are eating our Thanksgiv­
ing dinner let's count up the things
we have to he thankful for. Ask each
member of the family to help, and you
will I m * surprised at the length of the
list. It will cheer you up. too, and a
cheerful frame of mind Is worth mure

The time has come, so Paris says, to
talk of winter things- of sleeves and
skirts and wraps und tunics planned
by fusiilon kings. Latest word from

tbe smartest displays show very few
real tailor-made dresses, and these
few have very simple straight short
jackets with belts not much lower
than normal waistline.
Many belted jumpers are shown In
plain kasha, velvet, jersey crepe, ful­
gurant« and satin, and are quite long
und straight.
The sweaters are fastened with a
few buttons either at the top, middle
front or side, like Russian blouses
Also a few buttons a. j placed vertl-
eally at the sides to tighten the bot-
tom. These jumpers are worn with
very short skirts, plaited, straight,

• Ing one of a princess robe, not quite
so narrow at the waist, but wider at
the bottom. These are made In vel­
vet, fulgurante, clock« or Imitation fur.
Crepe or fulgurante linings nearly
always match the dresses or tunics
worn underneath, the colors being
black with white or lame tunics,
brown with all beiges and Bois de
Rose, bottle green with plstache, beige
or gray, gurnet red with lighter shades
of cherry, raspberry or beige. Some .
tunics are In lame.
The general silhouette In dresses is |
slightly widened at tbe bottom.
Dresses have plaited sides, plaited and
shaped aprons, pinels, shaped flounces
—sometimes several wide or narrow
ones over each other, Irregularly dis- [
;>osed; many Insertions of plaited or
plain material forming designs, often
arranged in rounded movement, front
and back forming two points at sides, |
These designs are often repeated at
different heights following tbe same
movements. There are many rounded
yokes shown, often only tbe front Ot i
only the back plain. Sleeves are long !
and tight, mounted at the normal
place, Dresses are often either belt­
less or princess line.
The very cleverly cut evening
dresses are nearly all In dyed lace or
chiffon over lame or matching satin
or crepe fourreaux.
The principal
colors are black, ruby, cherry, rasp­
berry, purple, gold and silver. The
dresses are wider at the bottom, many
with wings at back or shaped flounces
at front.
Very Important novelty fur and vel­
vet evening capes and coats have

also forms an inside coat—the back

very nice effect is a woman wrapped

A little boy about seven of whom
she was especially fond was there.
"Would you like to come and live with
