by using it very seldom and by the

There are Indications, too, that the
collar Is to reappear on the coat. At
present It Is quite flat, but some of the
newer models even show a tiny stand
up affair.
The girl who goes to the mountains
at this time of the year and, in fact,
the athletic- girl In general, needs a
knit wool sweater. This is no longer
the Venus de Milo atrocity of old, but

ning little vest pockets and a neatly fit-,

one of scarlet. The pocket and collar
are outlined with darker wool, and the
buttons are of red enamel and gold.

the coat and a little more ample in
shape than formerly, to allow for the
present cumbersome coiffure.

liest generations, but when they don't
succeed they are really not ao much
cast down as one might suppose. They
vote tha educated and refined people a
stupid set. and they go with othera like
themselves who are not very sure of
thlnga yet and are likely to miscall
things and make Malaprop remarks. In
such society they are comfortable.
They can have a good time and relax
the strict vigilance with which they
have to tire themselves while they are
In superior society.
Speaking of Malaprop remarks, a
party of ua from one of the yacht clubs
near New York was passing through
Coney Ialand, and one of these very
newly finished society women remark
ed: *T ree-ully think Coney Island Is at
such a disadvantage In the daytime. It
looks ao garnish, don't you know!” She
meant "garish.”
Heard In a Restaurant.
And I think restaurant menus give
away the unwary about aa quickly as
anything else. Witness the woman
who, being naked whether ahe liked
truffles, exclaimed, ”Oh, no; I don't
care a bit for those horrid, diseased
goose livers!” And the other one who
remarked cheerfully. "Isn't It cute tho
way they stick these little squares of
okra on the little cakes?” As a matter
of fact, It was angelica! Also the other
woman who, being aaked whether she
would like a tournedo a la Marie An
toinette, which was on the menu, re
plied that ahe would prefer a small
•teak If they didn't mind. Hut, then,
that was more excusable, for not every
one knows that a tournedo Is a small
ateak.

WALKING GOWN OF TAFFETA SILK.

Bargains Transformed.
The clever woman la ahe who can buy
bargains In Underwear and outqr wear
and ao change them with her skillful
Angers that they look like expensive
articles. Of course ln doing anything
of this sort one must look out that the
quality of the material Is good, or else
all the trimming In the world goes for
naught. A friend of mine this summer
bought a perfectly plain white lawn
dress for $3.50 and by putting In an em
broidered pattern of French knots in
heavy linen transformed It Into a thing
of beauty. The same clever little wo
man buys plain underwear and inserts
and trims it In a manner wonderful to
behold. These little economies count,
and they pay, let me assure you. In the
long end, for 50 cents saved here and a
dollar saved there mean a great deal
when one's husband has a small Income
and some sort of a position in the world
to maintain.
There are some things one should not

We are coming back to the days of
the hair switch. In fact, It Is prac
tically Impossible for a city bred wo-
man to have enough hair to concoct the
enormoua figure eights at the nape of
the neck that fashion demands. Hut
what amuaes me is the ahamelessuesa
of It. I have seen a yachtswoman
whose coiffure had become disarranged
through forcible contact with a suit
calmly unpin the same much mussed
bun and lovingly rearrange It on her
knee, patting each curve Into place,
while tho rest of the women nnd some
of the men looked on In admiration at
her deftness. Indeed, one of tho most
chic women I know first makes her
graceful figure eight around n large
boy of pale blue or pink ribbon and
then, plastering the same anywhere
from the top of her head to the nape of
her neck, she onchors it there by means
of three large wire halrplua. It occurs
to me that it Is pow more convenient
to have no hair than to have a lot, for
In the former case you can take off
your coiffure nnd examine It to see
whether It Is mtissed.

You may esy what you will (as a

MRS. PHILANDER CHASE KNOX.
Mrs. Knox became well known socially while her husband was United States
attorney general. She waa one of Mrs. Roosevelt’s chief aids In performing the
arduous social duties that In Washington fall to the ladles of the White House
and cabinet circle. Mrs. Knox was very much liked because lof her unaffected
kindliness and pleasant manners. She was much more In society than her
daughter, the scholarly Miss Rebecca Pnge Knox, soon to be the bride of Rob
ert Tlndle. Mrs. Knox is slight and dark haired add so youthful looking that
she and her daughter are sometimes mistaken for sisters. Mrs. Knox was Miss
LUlle Smith of Pittsburg. Since Mr. Knox has become a Pennsylvania senator
the family have lived at their beautiful farm home at Valley Forge. The Knoxes
have four children—Hugh. Reed nnd Rebecca, grown, and Philander C n yet a
boy. The farm at Valley Forge Is managed by Reed Knox, who Is twenty-three.

A STUNNING WRAP FOR EARLY

We have worn the daintiest kinds of
little coats and wraps all summer, but
now that the cool, crisp days are al
most at hand something really corn-
self control. If ahe has to get up when
she does not feel like It and there Is no
help for It, then let her Just get up and
do what has to be done cheerfully and
with determination. If she Ilea awake
and whines to herself and pities herself
awhile and rises with a martyr-llke
face and air and attacks her tasks with
a martyr-like mind, of course she will
collapse and perhaps tumble over und
raise a fuss in the house before the day
Is over. If we have more tasks than
we like, if at the same time there seems
no way to be rid of them, then the wise
woman will tackle them bravely, not
letting herself think of the hardship of
them at all, but holding her mind fast
to the achievement of them ln the best
possible manner.
An ordinarily sound human being 1
needs no rest beyond plenty of sleep
and a comfortable Interval for eating
meals. "Work while 'tls day.” Life Is
full of useful, noble.tasks for every hu
