TWEED FROCKS UNDER FUR COATS DECREE OF FASHION”.

Checks A re Smart for Afternoon BY BETSY SCHUYLER NEA Service Writer NEW YORK. Dec. 6.—Snow in the air means tweeds and furs for smart costumes. Tweed frocks under fur coats, or three-piece tw’eed ensembles, heavily furred, seem the order along Park avenue as smart women hurriedly take their constitutionals. I met Eleanor McKnight in a charming outfit, zigzagged woven tweed frock under a fur coat with fullness via. the godet way, Mrs. Frederick Mosley Jr., has her smart herringbone flecked tweed lined and collared In barunduki, a novelty fur. Beaver seems to have regained its social standing. Ruth Quackenbush has an extremely individual coat, with a deep cape that goes clear to the waistline in front and deep puff cuffs that extend above the elbow of beaver. Anita Shield has a suit with a cute flaring high collar of beaver and the outside of her sleeves banded clear to the shoulder in it. Mrs. Robert Clarkson uses beaver for the pouch collar and cuffs of a nappy woolen coat. Fur Scarfs Are Luxurious Separate fur scarfs have become veritable wraps, so luxurious are they. Mrs. Thomas Markoe Robinson has a silver fox that uses many, many skins in it, and she wraps its richness about her many times, usually wearing it against a green, black or blue ensemble or coat that sets it off to perfection. The fabric hat made to match one’s suit or coat is very chic right now. Lulie Simmons has one sweet, flared off-the-face one made of the same fabric as the soft black woolen or a fox-trimmed coat. I notice that many smart costumes this winter cash in on last season’s checks. The sartorial importance of checks is quite as significant as their monetary value. Cornelia Prime has a very smart little almost invisible checked frock that features prim white cuffs and collar that have a piquantly youthful effect. She wore a cute animal stickpin as her only ornament one afternoon, tea-ing at the Barclay. Elizabeth Ballard, 'who served with Cornelia as chairmen for a charity benefit, sponsored the Antibes shirt that cute little short-sleeves, crewnecked knitted waist that seems a smart choice for suit wear.

IjOngtsh Jacket Is Smart I met Marjorie Simonds, coming out of Pierre’s from luncheon, looking tremendously smart in a winter suit with semi-fitted, rather longish jacket and all her accessories quite as new as the cut of her suit. Black oxfords, eight-button gloves, a colorful checked scarf, a fabric pouch purse and a hat that combined two colors of felt in its off-the-face chic. Suits do have a. variety of cuts and waistlines these days. Mrs. Alar. Lehman has a rich black suit with short jacket buttoning at the hiphne. trimmed with sable fur posed diagonally down the front. Her skirt’s out is diagonal in front, following the sable’s line. Skating advances to provp that winter is upon us, as if it isn't perfectly evident! Mrs. Harold Talbot wears gaily patterned sweaters, often pull-ons, swathed turbans and short pleated skirts. Red is one of her favorite colors. Lingerie touches on plain-colored frocks are exquisitely individual and chic now. Many of the younger set prefer the kind that really launder BUoh as staunch pique, linens, organdie and voile. Ascot Scarf Is Bright Loma McKay has a very sweet touch on a bright red dress, a rounded, modest little collar of fine handkerchief linen, with its scallops made of modernistic set-back lines, like the skyscraper design ec u temporaries like so well. The Ascot scarf has it all over the types, for choice among the smart woman who likes to dress in sports things. Margaret R. T. Ti mblc wore a bright blue and green Ascot scarf that was very el ective under a blue hat, and with n tweed suit. , The three-eyelet oxford is quite .the shoe for smart stepping along sidewalks of Park avenue, especially with the sports ensemble or adytime coats, hats and furs. Anne Olive Brown wore brown tones with a brown suit, furred in mink, Katrinka Suvdam wore black ones with a gray suit and Eleanor Whitney has a pretty pair of green suedes, with an ensemble of light ard dark green. Purses change their shape, color fend materials right along. I think most folks must have dozens of them. The brocaded purse for formal daytime use and for evening parties is quite correct. Mildred Davis has one with a most Unusual mounting in gold emeralds and onyx, with her monogram on it.

PARIS Dec. 6. aside from the fact that one Dare arrived in New York from Paris TWO YEARS AGO wearing a hat that just came to the hair-line on the forehead, it is interesting to note that this winter at last the hat that is quite high on the forehead has come into its own. Among other things in the hat w’orld. we have gotten very tired of shading our eyes, noses and cheekbones ALL the time. It is sufficient to shade them in the summer, and in the type of hat known as sports hat. a a a TOO, the hat that allows some space above the eyebrows gives length to faces and consequently to figures. Also, it inclines one to hold up the head, which gives a long gracious line from the point of the chin straight down the throat to the neckline. And, in the natural course of events, makes a woman feel more gracefully free all over. Yes. why not admit it—it gives a woman who is flattered by the softening effect of a veil a chance to wear a tiny little veil! High on the forehead and down at the back —not only following the general back-swooping silhouette but giving that bob a chance to become a coiffure. But—if you like this mode, take advantage of it while you may. because it will not last forever and a day.

How to make really distincttive and novel Christmas cards! You are told that a lot more Christmasy things in this week’s illustrated leaflet, for which you may send a 2-cer.t stamped enve-’ lope to the Dare Department of The Times. ana Christmas Gift Suggestion IT seems to me that any studio owner numbered among your friends would relish the gift of an unusual lamp. Or perhaps just the shade. Something artistically suitable for a particular nook in your friend’s home. And if you can’t seem to find it in a shop, why not make it yourself? Oh, yes, you can. You'll have a lot of fun doing it, too. and your friend will be so specially proud of it! a a a WOULDN’T you like to know some novel and unusual ways to wrap and seal Christmas gifts.? Those ideas are in this week’s illustrated leaflet, too! Better sit down and send that stamp and your name and address. a a a LINES explain themselves in this graceful Martial et Armand black georgette dress with ecru lace trimming. ana AN English alienist said that “women not only sleep longer and more peacefully and lightv than men” . . . etc. Is tha-a-a-a-at so? What he means, probably, is that the average woman, who doesn’t come in contact with the hectic business world, has less nervestrain than men, except what their husbands, who come into such contact, impose upon them. a a a DO you want to know how to make some lovely boxes ir which to send your Christmas gifts? Modernistic boxes of gold, silver and black —boxes that are so lovely they will be kept in use for decorative purpose long after Christmas The directions for m. j .k'ne them are in this week's i>bis‘~>ted leaflet. tt a a Au Re voir!

Displays of Fine Goods Tempt Girls BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON The shop window was agleam with soft lights. As the sweet autumn twilight came stealing over the city streets a small group of women stood gazing at the beauties displayed there. Jewels they saw, chains for white necks, amber and emerald and the piercing whiteness of diamonds. Dresses of green and gold, the warm reds of old wine, the glamorous tints of purple and rose and a blue that is like soft little clouds before the sun arises. Diaphanous piles of yellow stuffs as glinting as a harvest moon. Velvets of russet and orange and a scarlet gown that held the eye overlong by its startling vividness. Many Pleasing Articles Furs, deep and warm and luxurious. Perfume bottles and vanities, glittering, gem-encrusted. Undergarments of silk and satin and lace. Purses beaded in ivory and pale violet and silver. Slippers with spaikling buckles. Stockings of silk with the sheen of running water. Handkerchiefs, like tiny snowdrifts, newly fallen. The women stood peering there, as the dark crept upward around them, but finally dispersed two by two chattering together like birds concerned over the finding of some choice morsel. Only one slight figure lingered on. A thinly-clad girl, with shoes showing traces of many polishings and a jaunty brave cut to her little coat. Her eyes were avid as she gazed. The longing of her heart was stamped upon her pale, set face. At first she seemed all alight with the glory of that shop window vision.

Despair Shows In Face And then despair swooped down and settled upon her. despair such as sits upon the brow of the starving man who looks at food kept from him only by the thin transparency of plate glass. It is not surprising that girls commit crimes for fine raiment. The astonishing thing is that so many of them walk daily amid such tempting things, and yet remain reasonably content with what they have. If I were God I would fill some place in Heaven with just such soft and wanton loveliness, with such richness of colors and fabrics. And every woman who had been denied ;n earth I would set in the midst af them,, to reveal there, nor account it a deed beneath divinity. Give Bunco Party Alta Vista Club of the south side Y. W. C. A. will give a benefit bunco party Saturday night, Dec. 7, at 7:30. The party will be held in the hall, Alabama and McCarthy streets. Elect New Officers Monthly business meeting of the Co-Wa-Ma Club will be held tonight at the Spink Arms hotel at 8 o’clock. Ele’ction of officers will be held and plans for the Christmas party wall be made. All members are asked to attend.

Mussolini Is Subject of Club Talk

Oswald Ryan, Anderson attorney, addressed the meeting of the Indianapolis Business and Professional Woman’s Club Thursday night after a dinner held at the Woman’s Department Club house. The subject of his talk was “Mussolini’s Challenge to Liberty.” According to Mr. Ryan, the World war made the world safe for democracy by causing the fall of three monarchies: Hapsburg of Austria, Hohenzolleran of Germany and Romanoff of Russia. He said that the human cost was the most enormous ever known. “The junking of popular governments and establishing of a dictator is Europe’s idea. The most perfect organization of an undemocratic country is shown by Italy. Mussolini’s challenge is not to Italy or to Europe, but to the world. Fascism has a chance with the intelligent, thinking, influential, economicminded people within the United States,” he said. Mr. Ryan gave the history of Italy following the World war when Italy took up Russian bolshevism, to the time of the entrance of Mussolini in politics at Milan. He then related Mussolini’s life story, giving reasons for his success. He described the day in October, 1922, when he took over the reins of the Italian government. He questioned: “Has a representative government outlived its usefulness? Must it make way for the new Fascist form of government? Mussolini is a challenge to the modern representative form of government such as ours. He has given Italy a high place among inI temational countries, and taken I only the constitutional rights of the ; Italian people.” I During the forum hour, Dr. Helen Ip. Langner spoke on “Christmas j Cheer for Outgoing Patients of the S Riley Hospital.” Miss Mary Woods, i a student at Butler university, who ! received a scholarship from the club, told of her appreciation for the support. Miss Margaret Whitford, chairman of the education committee spoke on the work of her group. Six girls are taking advantage of the scholarship loans offered by this committee. Another speaker was Miss Elma Richards who told of the mountain schools of Kentucky. One hundred and fifty members attended the meeting. The education committee, composed of Miss Whitford. Mrs. Ora M. Hardy, Miss Agnes Cruse, Miss Alice Silloway, Miss Mabel Vons and Miss Emma Donnan, sat at the speakers’ table, with Mrs. R. H. Miller, the “mother of the club;” Mrs. Gertrude M. Long, chairman of the program committee, and officers of the club. ; Mrs. Ada O. Frost, president of the i club, presided.

Teachers’ Sta ndar and Is Lauded An improved educational standard for teachers was declared a significant change by Arthur Gist, principal of the training school and director of practice teaching at State Teachers college, San Francisco. in a lecture on “Important movements in Elementary Education,” before the students of Teachers college of Indianapolis Thursday afternoon. , “At one time it was thought necessary to have trained teachers,” he said. “Today 93 per cent of the cities require two years’ training for elementary teachers, in addition to the high school course, and the maority require four years’ training for high school teachers. In a few states four years’ training is required for elementary teachers also.” Have Same Schedule “One hundred and sixty cities have the single salary schedule which provides that the elementary teachers gets the same salary as the high school teacher if the qualifications are the same. This is a recognition of the equality of the' l importance of their work. Sixty-five per cent of the teachers now belong to some worthwhile professional organization devoted to improving and increasing the teachers’ service. Through these organizations, a code of ethics for teachers similar to that of the legal or medical professions is being developed.” Anew appreciation of supervision on the part of the teachers, the development of the character in children through activities and not by rule, the reorganization of the school years into different groupings, the enriched curriculum, the growth of nursery schools and application of scientific methods to educational problems, were other movements discussed.

Text Book Author Mr. Gist is a well-known authority on elementary education. He is the author of a number of books, among them “Administration of an Elementary School” and “Elementary School Supervision.” He was for three years editor of the year book of the elementary principal’s department of the National Education Association, and was formerly principal of the Burbank and Whittier schools in Oakland, Cal. The instructors of the teachers training department conferred with Mr. Gist at the close of the lecture. The local branch of the Administrative Women in Education held a meeting at Teachers’ college in the afternoon and were addressed by Mr. Gist.
