Mink tails, in jabot and cuffs, trim the model sketched, their rich brown making a fine contrast with the pale gray plushy woolen material. Most of cur winter woolens will be softâ€"surfaced this year, especially for afternoon and allâ€"day coats and their colours, when they are not black, are lovely. There is a new range of rich but subdued tones that go so well with furs. Nearly all of them are what the artists call "tertiary‘"â€"blends of three colours in unexpected proportion, very hard to name. They are dark browns, some with a red gleam, some with a green, and a revival of that grayed snade called taupe. There are very deep blues, the sort that Schiaparelli so aptly calls "carbon," almost black; and blues with a slaty cast and blues like rich purpled fruits. There are greens that are nothing like our rudiâ€" mentary paintbox combinations of blue and yellow, some of them olive, others blued: and dark redâ€"browns that are like the ruddy earth of the Ruviera when it is wet.

The pegâ€"top silhouette is one of the ideas played up, not always a proâ€" nounced pegâ€"top, but frequently modiâ€" fied, and one of the most attractive and effective ways of introducing front fullness. The pegâ€"top skirt sometimes has pockets, for youthful measure, and | sometimes merely has soft folds that manage to give width at the hips, while the lower section of the skirt takes on a slim line that looks very colour or show dim pale tones on a quiet dark base or are made up of two dull shades used together, Even the milliners are using these sophisticated mE and there very subtle and not a bit obvious. Quite a triumph for the dyers. trumpet note of scarlet or crimson. med d4uli reds with colour effects thouzh they also offer us brilliant jewel colours to be worn with blackâ€"to give the bright black note. "Peg Top" is One of the Ideas Played up. Harem Hemline The harem hemline is another style idea that is given prominence, someâ€" times the allâ€"round harem linge, giving soft movement to the lower skirt, and sometimes the Oriental influence is expressed just across the front of the skirt. The Piguet harem dress is obâ€" viously a favorite with designers, as it has been copied exactly, with sequins, and has also been adapted in playing up two colors or two fabrics or using embroideries in place of the glittering sequins. New Silhouettes Described as Exciting, Dramatic The many gored skirt is another that is seen frequently in collections, folâ€" lowing the Molyneux wideskirted plan, many gores and much width and swing at the hemline. Dresses with skirts of this type are seen alone, also with litâ€" tle jackets, makingz a very youngâ€"lookâ€" ing costume. They are usually in lightâ€" weight woollen, with biack way up front, and sometimes they have neat Persian lamb collars. The double swing skirt, in two tiers, is also seen in dayâ€" time collections, in lightweight woolâ€" len and also in crepe. The princesâ€"line appears frequently in collections, the frank princess with unbroken line, and there are also exâ€" amples of the princess dress with detail at the hipline. This detail which acâ€" cents the hips often means draped folds, softly manipulated, and giving a very small look to the waistline. The Apron Outline The apron silhcouette is noted, with Schiaparelli obviously responsible for dresses with this treatment. Sometimes it is a detachable apron, sometimes it is an apron with ruffle outline, and a rufâ€" fle at the hemline, showing at the back only, and again it is a briefer type of apron, more of a deep peplum really. All the apron ideas, however, give the impression of back fullness, a swathed hipline or an upâ€"inâ€"back movement that is smart. High Necks, Long Sleeves There is plenty of interest shown in sleeves and high necklines, the sleeves having a more tailored expresâ€" sion than has been the rule for seyâ€" eral seasons, and necklines are often simple and round or with an upstandâ€" ing shallow collor, or a youthful turnâ€" over schoolgirl type of collar. These high neckline drasses are often shown with necklaces, usually big necklaces, sometimes in bib shape, with gold SATURDAY saturday, $1.00 a couple Wednesday, 75¢ a couple and his Gores and Princess Line every and Baltimore, Sept. 27.â€"To the strains of the Merry Widow Waltz, Evelyn Wood‘s newly created lifeâ€"sized puppets recently exhibited children‘s fashions on the stage for regular marionetté shows in a shop here. Tottles, an eightâ€"month old curly«â€" headed blonde, made his smiling enâ€" trance in an allâ€"white kintted legging suit, in coat style. Fortunately he kept his balance for his premier appearance and did not resort to crawling until his second stage visit when he was properly garbed in the newest type of creepers built for wear. Rebecca, equalâ€" ly lifeâ€"like in appearance, showed off to advantage a teal blue novelty coat, followed later by a pink linen shirt»â€" waist dress with detachable jacket,. Lifeâ€"sized Puppets Act as Models for Children. Marionettes Used as Models for Children‘s Wear Gretchen, who appeared next, wore a teal blue and gray plaid mixture legging set with plain blue leggings, cuffs and collar. Her tile linem jacket dress caused favorable comments. Ailenne, who is in her second year at school, the only redâ€"head in the marionette family, delighted her audiâ€" ence with a little dance. Herâ€"teal blue velveteen dress, with puffed sleeves and Swiss embroidered collar was an exact replica of the dress bought for her college sister. Paris, France.â€"The average Parisiâ€" enne avoids novelty in fashion this fall, but is buying clothes, when she can afford to do so, in an effort to give emâ€" ployment. Tailored suits predominate for town wear with tweeds and knitted garments for country. Slacks with trim, tailored blouses have been generâ€" ally adopted for air raid shelters at night. Military Themes and Gay Uniforms Avoided. Fashion Modes in Paris Cheerful for This Fall The military note in style is conâ€" spicuous by its absence, and although a great many iParisiennes are doing war work, they wear no distinguishing uniâ€" form. Black with bright colored accessories is first choice for ensembles, with greens and russets taking second place for popularity. In cosmetics, highly colored rouge and lipstick being discarded in favor of lighter, more natural tones, are out, while simple hairstyles are beâ€" coming the vogue. A leading Paris coiffure artist reports that the majority of women are cutting their hair shortâ€" er, while snoods are worn more and more, Darn the hole neatly with thick woo! that matches the blanket exactly, then take a teaze brush and brush up the darn. When you have done this you will find the darn is quite unnoticeable and far neater than any patch could be. Suggestion for Mending the Hole in the Blanket (By M. S.) Next time a hole appears in your blanket, it is worth while to mend it really well, so that it doesn‘t show. This is so easy to do too. What You May do With the Millinery of Last Year (By Peggy Stevenson) What a headache old hats can be! You pack them away in boxes under your bed in the spring, looking perfectâ€" ly well. When you take them out in the fall they seem to have lost every charm they ever had. FEither you‘ll wear them and be miserably economiâ€" cal, give them away to the first person you see, or you‘ll have a marvelous time using imagination to trim them over. Here are some ideas to try: Your beloved sports had will shine again if you add a hatband of two long feathers, and a twin set pointing high at the side to give you new height. For any pillbox or beret you can get a looseâ€"mesh smood to wear over your hair. Filling the back with roses is a trick that is extreme but most becomâ€" ing for special occasions. Next is a minuteâ€"made hat, being two shades of wide ribbon cut in two lengths each, knotted twice at the nape of your neck, and again in the front, the ends left four inches long, to form a flirtatious ribbon flower on your brow. s Your big felt should be turned back this year to show your profile as Queen Elizabeth does. Then pin on two jaunty green feathers with a pl»ated grosgrainâ€"ribbon rosette. Sew a new set of satin ribbons on your forwardâ€"tilted hat, tying your long bob into the net and tidy bow at the back. Another point for snoods, that shouldn‘t ever be missed, is to tack little coloured velvet bows all over a coarse black one. Offâ€"theâ€"face hats were a great fayâ€" ourite for young heads last year. Give yours a change by attaching a conâ€" trasting ribbon tying in a wide and handsome bow over your forehead. YÂ¥ou could do this in a variety of colâ€" ours and ribbons, to go with different costumes, and have them smap conâ€" venientiy on at the side, Any of these ideas will make a last year‘s hat fresher and more fun to wear! Plaids and stripes are popular this fall. The tendency, however, is to subâ€" due them in tone. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMIN®, ONTARIO This will be a happy evening for the young lady who has wisely chosen velâ€" vet, the cloth whose richness adds enâ€" chantment to the night . . . and she has added the fashionable full sweepâ€" ing skirt, with a fitted waistline, finishing the charming picture with the ultarâ€"new bustle back bow. Smart Evening Sweaters Designed for the Coâ€"eds Montreal.â€"Smart hizh school and college wardrobes this fall will include several evening sweaters and separate evening skirts. The clever coâ€"ed will knit them to her taste, but if knitting is not her forte, very lovely ones are offered in shops, some beautifully simâ€" ple, others quite elaborately decorated. Low, heart shaped decolletages, tiny waists, dainty offâ€"theâ€"shoulder diminuâ€" tive puffed sleeves are particularly beâ€" coming to the slim yvoung miss. Burglars Alarmed by Sight of T. N. O. Bus Uniform The Northern News of Kirkland Lake in its Tuesday issue. says:â€" Those natty uniforms the drivers for the T. N. O. bus service are wearing have been mistaken for miliâ€" tary dress by a number of, Kirkland Lake citizens but a yegg who apparâ€" ently tried to open the safe at Sackâ€" rider‘s garage early Sunday morningz got quite a scare when he mistook one of them for a police uniform.â€" William Kennedy, bus driver for the T. N. O. service, was walKing east cn Government Road when passing sackrider‘s garage a mam caught a glimpse of his uniform and dashed out of sight between the garage and the service station. A ~short time later Orin Thorpe while passing the garage saw two men inside. One was kneeling in front of the safe and the other was trying to keep out of sight in a dark corner of the Mr. Thorpe looked in the window they saw his face and ran out the back door. Mr. Thorpe notiâ€" fied police immediately by telephone from the Teck Service Station but Constable R. Morrow was unable to locate the two wouldâ€"be robbers. The officer checked over the scene carefully and found that a window on the northeast side of the garage had been forced open. He was unable to determine if the office door had been left unlocked. If not, the men had a key which could unlock it. There was a considerable sum of money in the safe but the yeggs in view of their two bad scares, were forced to leave it behind as they had not made any headway with the safe. The garage maintains a 24â€"hour serâ€" vice but the night man, Ellis Grenâ€" ough, had left about half an hour to get a bite to eat and had locked the place up. Mr. Thorpe had left a battery at the service station to be recharzed and went around to call for it. He found the place locked up and when he went to a window he saw the men at work in the office. This was about 3.55 a.m., of half an hour after the bus driver‘s exâ€" perience. Evidently the men had been in the place about half an hour as there were about a dozen cigaret butts and a number of matches left on the floor near the safe. They had not tried to blow the safe open but were apparently trying to manipulate the combination. It is possible that the pair had been watching the garage, krowing someâ€" thing of the night routine, until Mr. Greenough lef; for his lunch in the slack hours of the early morning and promptly entered the place as soon as he left. The hat of the moment! The hat | that seems to be made especially for | women of the snowy Northland, as it combines chic with warmth in its new bustle back. Yes, ledies, that bustle keeps away the cold winds while it [ adds to your fall or winter ensemble. Glamour in Velvet The Bustle Back later Orin Thorpe garage saw two men kneeling in front of other was trying to in a dark corner of Minuteâ€"toâ€"Dress Air Raid Suit Appears Overseas The "broadtail" style gives short curls all over the head, prevents unruly ends, falling front curls, and will stay tidy under all roughâ€"weather conditions. London, Sept. 26.â€"A leading West End fashion designer has completed a model air raid emergency suit which can be pulled on in a minute. It is entirely zippâ€"fastened, is waterâ€" proof, and resembles a flying suit with its patch pockets., The new hair styles evolved in the past couple of weeks have been created for the peaked caps and hoods women must wear on national service. In the new autumn fashions women will take to "slacks" more and more. Long trousers will be worn for day and evenin?, in khaki woollen, in green and brown by day, with khaki shirt blouses, and brilliantâ€"hued ties, cravats, and kerchiefs which will be worn turbanwise on the head. London Shows Warâ€"Time Fashion. A style likely to survive the war is the "bubbles," which has a slightly looser curl and can easily be adapted with a comb to a more feminine style when and if the occasion demands. The aiternative is a military, belted ccat, furâ€"trimmed on the breast, with the Cossack hat in fur or fabric or a turban in chainmail mesh, fabric or fur.

And aithough the Red Cross welcomes these offers and enâ€" courages everyone to offéer his or her services, the society is not in a position to promise placements until Governâ€" ment instructions have been received In coâ€"operation with the Canadian Nurses‘ Association, the Canadian Red Cross Sooieaty has endesavored for the past 13 years to maintain a list of qualified nurses willing to serve in warâ€" time or national emergency. All nurses making â€" application for. overseas or wartime Guty must be registered in the province where they received their training. Their applications the provincial branch of the Canadian Nurses‘ Association are forwarded to Military Headquarters in Ottawa and kept on file. Wool Distributed In the meantime headquarters for distribution of wool for socks, sleeveâ€" less sweaters and armlets, and materâ€" ials for pyjamas have been set up in Toronto. Materials are sent out to volunteer workers through local organâ€" izations who supervise their disperseâ€" ment. Knitters are asked to knit tightly, firmly and plainly. As washing facilâ€" ities are not so handy in wartime, socks must be made to endure long wear and a great amount of strain Spiral heelless socks are not practical, officials say, because they would not prove comfortable in a long day‘s wear. Heather mixtures are most popular in wools chosen although a bright thread included in a plain color might add a bit of color to a soldier‘s existence and also aid in identification â€"of a man‘s own socks. Red Cross officials say they are planning to buy all surgical dressings from manufacturers to insure absolute sterilization. Manufastured â€" bandages can be bought as cheapiy as they can be made at home besause of the necesâ€" sary precautionary measures needed to sterilize all surgical needs. It takes 4% ounces of 4â€"ply fingering knit on No. 11 needles to make a pair of socks with an 11â€"inch foot lenith, which is the regulation size set out by the society.
