Do not worry about what Mr.

a error, and even if he did not

A new day of triumph is dawning
for knitted fashions. Sweaters es­
pecially were never more attrac­
tively designed and varied in mood.

they are so versatile they tune to (Released by Western Newspaper Union.)
Plaid Ensemble
Brown Outstanding
Color for Autumn
If in doubt, choose tones of brown
for your color lead in assembling a
new autumn wardrobe. With brown
as a basic color, you will make no
mistake. Opening displays put the
emphasis on brown suits, brown
dresses, brown fur coats and brown
furs as trimming on cloth conts.
The milliner, the Jeweler and the
glove maker have all Joined in the
brown fashion crusade this fall.
With the now-so-fashionable beige
and biscuit colors you will find thrill­
ing schemes that call for acces­
sories in the new browns. The new
topaz and amber Jewelry is especial­
ly attractive. It will be very much
in the foreground this fall. Brown
leather buttons and beltbuckles
match the new brown gloves and
many sports hats are now trimmed
with brown suede or smooth-finished
leather.
Sweaters Very Fanciful
For Modern School Girl
Every little girl starting out to
join the foil and winter style parade
will be wanting a cunning little
plaid ensemble that teams a Stuart
plaid kilt with a matching plaid tarn
o’shanter as pictured here.
The idea of a little Jumper skirt
that can be worn with a change of
blouse each day, will delight moth­
er, for it solves the problem of send­
ing forth little daughter each morn­
ing to school looking as “fresh as
a daisy" and quite picturesque too
with a wee bit of Scotland Injected
Into her costume.
It is the opinion among enthusi­
asts on the knitted theme that a girl
starting to school should take along
at least six sweaters. And there's
a reason. Sweaters this season cov­
er the entire field of both utilitarian
and social needs.
Then too, not
only is there a sweater for every
occasion but the new sweaters are
simply irresistible, having taken on
intriguing detail that is fascinating.
You will find the new sweaters
made very fanciful with wool fringe
trimmings, little dangling yarn ball
treatments. Then there are quilted
effects, wondrously achieved, and
plaid patternings and color contrast
with bright yokes, sleeves and
banded sections. Formal sweaters
have flattering decollette treutmetfta
•nd sparkling embroideries.
Quickening Emotions
When men are rightly occupied,
their amusement grows out of
their work, as the color petals out
of a fruitful flower; when they are
faithfully helpful and compassion­
ate, all their emotions are steady,
deep, perpetual and vivifying to
the soul as is the natural pulse to
the body.—John Ruskin.
'T'HE new style the young jitter-

tummy in front, and the frou-frou,
feminine collar with the large
