years ago in the movie "Romeo and Jullet," cone of the Cauplet or Montague tribe strode around in a cape the shoulders of which were loadâ€" ed _ with massive gold ornaments. shoulder jewelry turned up this Fall along with the rest of the heavyâ€"lookâ€" Ttunâ€"in with a hive of bees. Some celluloid stencils make the trick very easy. Six different "mouths"‘ come in a box with brush and lipstick. The stencil is placed between the lips and, by using the "liner," the inside edge is traced from ccrner to corner. Then lipstick is applied within these lines. For some reason a rougeing job done this way lasts much longzer than®usual. Hollywood‘makeup experts have been blithely altering the shape of their clients‘ mouths for years with the aid of a red pencil or a Chinese brush, but this trick is a little difficult for the amateur hand. Once the business of building up the upper lip is begun it is apt to get out of control. The final result often looks as if one had had A lot of people take astrology pretty seriously, but even those who don‘t might like to have their individual hnoroscopes tooled on a leather belt. Of Russian callâ€"skin, these belts canm be made to order in any color, and the same studio will also make up cigarette cases, compacts and book covers in handtooled leather, Novel Porfume Bottles SBome new petfume bottles are glass copies of seventeenth century Venetian chessmen. The king and queen are reâ€" presented, and they stand about four inches high. Later on some smaller sizes representing the powns may also be available. These bottles any oune of several delicious scents. A musicâ€"box evening bag is an imâ€" aginative gadget to restore a fading conversatiom The bag is a rectanguâ€" lar envelope, large enough to hold plenty of tackle, and the music box is concealed somewhere in the lining. It plays only when the bag is open. One of the wackiest oddments is a little package of assorted beauty spots. Last Winter one of the local g‘amour girls startled her public by appearing with a tiny gold disk on her forehead in the manner of highâ€"caste Indian women. The idea seems to have caught on, and the assortment now for sale includes red or bliack dots, gold hearts and green or blue diamonds. They can be worn anywhere on the face, but the red dot had better stay between the brows if it is not to be confused with a smudge of lipstick. By Elizabeth R. Duval At this time of the year there is alâ€" ways a fine crop of frivolous gewzaws on the accessory counters. There bits Oof nonsense range from fantastic headâ€" calcubkited to worry the most stolid male, to the newer versions of old standâ€"bys in gloves and bags.

S. sHOP SHOE (By Wilhelma Cushman) Your winter coat is the beginning of your fall fashion story, the picture you present every time you leave your door. How vastly important that it be right! And do you justice! You‘ll wear it for the next six months, with the clothes you have, and everything new you buy. So choose with care! This year‘s coats are as becoming as dressesâ€"with moldâ€" ed bodices, defined waistlines, graceful skirt fullness, less shoulder padding. Flat furs are used in small collars, front bands, pockets and cufls. Longâ€" haired furs are manipulated to avoid bulkiness. Fox appeahs in plastron fronts, flattering ar«i luxurious. The black coat still leads, but brown fabrics armit furs are more in fashion than for years. Soft olive green and green mixâ€" tures are important colours in coats. Next come plum and grape shades. The green tweed is the informal type of town cosat for the woman who preâ€" fers a tailored wardrobe, loves colour, and leads a partâ€"city, partâ€"country life. Wear it with a russetâ€"brown felt hat and gloves, a hig green suede bag with aâ€" tortoiseâ€"shell frame. Any simple Winter Coat the Beginning of the Fall Fashion Story Should be Chosen with the Greatest Care. FPurâ€"trimmed gloves are an amusing detail to go with cloth coats. They coma trimmed with mink and Persian lamb, with ermine tails and pompoms of silver fox. The gloves themselves are handâ€"stitched black antelope, very sheer amnmd supple. Mediumâ€"length cufts flare out at the ends. Mothers who are now struggling with their offspring‘s first steps might be interested in a newâ€"type "baby walker." A lightweight harness has a staff atâ€" tached to it which enables the mothe:r to guide the child without bending over. The baby gets a good deal of support and balance, and on the verge of a fall he can be hauled back to safety with ease. The handle is deâ€" tarhable and the straps are adjustable so that the harness can be used from the beginning until he is two years old. Golfâ€"club mittens, made in Scotland, have been knitted in stripes. The numâ€" ber of stripes on each mitten corresâ€" ponds to the number of the club. Thus, it becomes quite simple to locate the desired club in the bag. The mittens come in sets of three and four and are made up in maroon and white, blue and white, blue and yellow, and green and white. The chappedâ€"hand season will be here pretty soon. A new cream leaves the hands white andâ€" sleek looking. It is not greasy or sticky and is abâ€" sorbec more rapidly than lotions. Standardâ€"size hook curtain rings for shower curtains can be obtained now to match the bathroom ‘color scheme Made of composition, they are light and durable and come in royal blue, maize, green, red, peach, orchid and black and white. - A "sewing bar‘‘ should be a timeâ€" saver for the home dressmaker. Thread, zippers, binding, etc., are laid out according to color and shade and the shopper canmn pick out everything she wants without waiting for a salesâ€" girl. _ Standing ash trays are too tall and gawky for low modern furniture. One highly adaptable stand has a teleâ€" scope shaft amd it can be adjusted to any number of heights. At its lowest it stands on the table like an ordinary tray. The ash receiver itself is of the concealedâ€"bottom type with the lever which allows the butts and ashes to disappear. The stand comes in chrome, gunâ€"metal or gold finish. A mechanical pencil has a magnifyâ€" ing lens on one end that should not only be useful but should make a goodâ€" looking gadget besides. The magnifyâ€" inz shaft is unbreakable and the penâ€" cil comes in several different finishes: black wi‘th gold, black and white and blue with orange. Some one making notes from fine print would find this a help. Shoes for Hikers People who like crossâ€"country walks and go scuffing through rough terrain would find a pair of newâ€"type oxfords very practical. In these the polished sole has been brought out and extended up and over the blunt, round toe, in a curling sweep, thus forming a protecâ€" tive guard and a good fashion note at the same time. The shoe has a moderâ€" ately low heel and comes in several different colors: hunter green with brown calf, wine with black, and deep blue with blue calf trim. ing stuff. Gold or alver epaulets, either of looped braid or in stiff half circies with hanging fringe, would look masâ€" nificent on a tailored evening coat, and there are some rhinestone angel wings for evening or afternoon dresses. All of these pin on the shoulder seam and they would do a lot for last year‘s dress, A ‘Sewing Bar‘ ing gaiter Shoes can look like almost anything but shoes this autumn. The latest craze is the "rocking" shoe . . . which is exactly what it sounds. The sole is shaped like a rocker . . . so that ... as you walk . . . the foot rocks from heel to toe on thick cushy soles In this way, the heretofore inflexibility of amusingâ€"looking thickâ€"soled shoes . . . has been cleverly overcome.

Crusader hats are the fashion,. Some of the new hats make the wearer look like a knight of old. New York. â€"Mrs. Roosevelt‘s ermine stoleâ€"bouzht for the visit of the King and Queemâ€"seems to have started something. The shops are showing several stoles, including a short beaver one lined with tweed that matched a twoâ€"piece (shortâ€"jacket) suit. A third type of skirt, which brings with it a very new feeling, is the pegâ€" top. Its drapings play up the hips, but the wrapped nuaterial below introduces a pencilâ€"like slimness. This silhouette is one the customer will love when she finds it in an evening gown, especially when she sees it in one of the new creations for restaurant dining that "black out" her figure from neck to wrists. Such a gown is illustrated here in the coverâ€"up dinner frock of black rayon crepe. Graceful to the nth degree is the apron skirt, with its deep frill travelâ€" ing from the hemline at the front to the waistline at the back. It has a slenderizing upward sweep. This idea came from Schiaparelli. Bows soften the waistline of other dresses; on some they are tied in the front, on others in the back. Actually they are a part of the skirt, and some mysterious manâ€" ner known to the draper is responsible for directing the course of the fullness that falls below them into the skirt. This is a Balenciaga trick. Mrs. Roosevelt‘s Ermine Stole Started Something Designers wholeâ€"heartedly endorsed the swing skirt of Molyneux. The young in years and figure will find it in dresses of sheer wool, of crepe, of faille and even damask, for this oldâ€" fashiloned â€" material ‘has come back with the wasp waist. The swing apâ€" pears in velvet, its filare emphasized by a taffeta facing. The skirt is never as exaggeratedly full as the Molyneux one, which makes it a style that the more dignified customer will find to her liking. > Queen Alexandra‘s Era It won‘t take her lonz to ascertain hat designers have determined on the ‘eminine silhouette. The contours of ‘he season of 1939â€"40 are those of Queen Alexandra‘s era. Slenderness of waist is emphasized, so is the uplifted, r~ounded bosom. The tapering waist ind the high bosom produce an effect f length and slenderness through the midriff. The hips round out beneath he slim waist. This dramatization of ‘he figure is present in dresses of many types, whether they have the extreme sorseted look or are softly molded. The torso seems to be encased in the f‘abric of the dress, for it is drawn high and close to the throat and gracefully anfolds the body. When the customer tries on her first zloveâ€"fitting model she will discover a tremendously long tobaggan zipper that starts at the hip level and ends at the neck. As she slides the fastenâ€" ‘1vz its full length she will note that the material shapes to her form so ‘hat no awkward fold curls about her waistlineâ€"she must look as if she had seen poured into her frock. What are some of the styles that the yoman will find awaiting her when she shops for her first frock for October 1lays in town? Who are the makers of modes whose word seems to be allâ€"powerful in the Ainal determination of style? For us, in America, they are the New York deâ€" signers who gather from the fashion ‘rop presented by Paris those elements f style most suited to our needs and whims. Though they keep themselves n the background, they are not mysâ€" tery people. They travel faithfully Jack and forth between Paris and New York; they observe and they buy. Out »f their profound knowledge of what ;oes on in this country they create the he clothes that will be worn by the arge majority of American women. When the American Gdesigner has rdopted a new mode and developed it, ind when the store has gotten behind t with the full force of its promotional Jower, it yet remains for the customer o give it her sanction. The American designer‘s version of Jhe French original retains the spirit hat characterizes it, but it has an addâ€" »d quality that stamps it as American.

When the liquid is cool, dip an old sponge in it and rub it over the stains. Dry, and polish with a good cream. Suede shoes have a habit of getting dirty and shabby, but as a general rule all the dirt and a good deal of the shine will disappear if the shoes are treated with turpentine. After placing them on trees, dip a clean rag in turâ€" pentine and â€"rub the shoes briskly, goâ€" ing over the entire surface and renewâ€" Then dry the boots or shoes, put them on trees, and prop the heels up so that only the toes touch the ground and the air passes freely round the shoes. When dry, apply brown polish or cream in the usual way. If there are grease stains on the shoes, rub a little powdered French chalk on the marks, leave it om for about 24 hours, and polish with the brown boot cream. It may be necessary to repeat the treatment. (By M. D. S.) It is a good plan to wash brown footâ€" wear occasionally, mixing a little soft soap with warm water and then serubâ€" bing the boots or shoes with a brush that has been dipped into the soapy water. In this way an accumulation of polish is removed.
