(Ax & A WONDERFUL NEW 'round-the-clock coat is this handsome style designed by Adele-Califor-nia. It is fashioned of light weight but warm Alpaca with chalk stripes. UMBRELLA BATH It's a good idea to give um brellas a thorough shampoo from time to time. The bathtub is as good a place as any. Open the umbrella and brush it to re move dust or grit. Go over the outside and inside with a soft brush dipped in thick luke warm soapsude. Give extra at tention to creases. Next turn the shower on to rinse it, or pour clear water over it. Leave it open to dry. SNOW TIMERS Snowsuits featured for the nursery crowd, for the coming cold weather season, have many new style treatments. One comes with a grown-up stole. Some have jackets that can be revers ed. Another, one-piece style, of fers a jumper effect with em broidery trim, while a snowsuit for a very young child has handy attached mitts and boots. Many New Synthetic Fabrics Lend Smart Comfort to Business Trips "Travel light travel right' might well be the motto of the smart traveling business man. And with the aid of new syn thetic fabrics, the man -of today can carry a week's wardrobe in a small suitcase. No sending home of laundry boxes, either, for he'll be able to do his own washing along the way. The well-dressed man can start his trip with suit and acces sories, and even top coat, all made of synthetic fibers. Some fabrics are completely washable; some are blended and will go, though not very often, to the cleaner. In either case, the syn thetic wardrobe will require a minimum of care. All-weather suits of any of the synthetics, either used alone, or blended with wool or cotton, will help keep him trim and wrinkle-free throughout his trip. The extra suit, rolled away in a email space in his suitcase, will hang out in a jiffy, and will re sist spotting and soiling. Formal f ; - BJI'" vis clothes, too, lightweight and comfortable, pack easily and neatly with a minimum of bulk. If the traveler hasn't a syn thetic fabric raincoat along dur ing a sudden shower, his syn thetic suit, according to the makers, "will not spot or shrink if he is caught in the rain. Most of these suits are said to dry neatly and quickly. Besides the synthetic raincoat, which is light, a nylon umbrella is another new protection against the elements. This fab ric, say the manufacturers, lends itself particularly well to rain wear, as it is water-resistant and stands up under abrasive wear. The laundry problem is solved with the addition oLa neatly tailored nylon, Dacron or orion shirt. These wash in minutes, and if hung on a wooden hanger will drip dry back to shape in just a few hours. No ironing re quired, either, if they are hung neatly, and the collar, cuffs and button band smoothed with the fingers. . Synthetic yarn underwear and hosiery require even less care. For men who are partial to wool socks, they can now be purchased with nylon reinforce ments at the heel and toe. Neckties, too, are now avail able, in synthetic fabrics, made to resemble wool or silk. These ties are claimed to resist wrink ling, creasing and soiling; they are washable. BEAUTY ACCENT The smaller the room, the more important the accessories. The unimpressive proportions of a hall, for instance, can be dramatized with a colorful scat ter rug framed against the pol ished floor, a handsome wall clock and the fresh green ac cents of leafy plants. A SMART CASUAL ensemble for Fall: all-wool tweed sports jacket in three-button style, gray flannel slacks, and all-wool tweed cap. VEIL CARE To wash a soiled veil, shake it in a small jar of warm soapsuds. Rinse well by the same method and blot in a towel. To restore a crisp finish, press flat with a warm iron between two layers of waxed paper. f Experience says: VJ sugar; your fine canned fruit deserves it! California Styles Easy New Fashions For Autumn Wear From the Golden Stale, come the fashions that hare . made California the men's sportswear and casual-clothes capital of the world.
