—WHAT’S IN FASHION?—
NEW YORK, Aug 25.—Like ham and eggs, September and trav- ; eling seem to go together. Lots of I fashionable people annually plan ! their trips for that month. They find it a particularly pleas- ; ant time of year' in the mountains, i Invigorating at the seashore, too. i Grand for ocean trips—and with all these reductions in steamship rates it looks as though there’d be more of those this fall. The smart travel coat this fall is, as always, the coat with an informal, comfortable, easy fitting look. But not a sloppy, careless look. It wants to look well tailored, well fitted—and to stay that way after much hard usage.. Little Difference in Types There’s very little difference between fashionable informal coats and fashionable formal coats this fall, except for material. And even in material there's less difference than formerly. Some of the smart rough wools that you’ve been associating with ' informal coats are now appearing in dressy coats. silhouette is much the same in both types of coats. Usually, though, the informal or travel coat is belted, while the formal coat is newer fastening with buttons. You’ll find the same wider look to the shoulders, the higher waist line and straighter skirt section in the informal coat that you’re going to find in dressy coats. The same fashionable shawl collars and scarf collars. Tweeds Still Important Tweeds are still the most important material for t"~"el coats. Not bright contrasting color tweeds, though, but colors softened down and blended until the general effect is that of one color. For example, you look at a tweed and your first is that it’s medium beige. But when you examine it closely, you’ll see that' it's a mixture of a light beige and a dark brown. Mixing just two colors is the fashionable way of tweeds now. There are fewer tweeds with bright flecks of contrast color high on the surface. More of them have their color accent sunk into the material so it blends. Diagonal Weaves in Two-Tones Some of these two-tones mixtures are woven in a diagonal fashion. And though the diagonal weave is distinct, these colors, too, are blended to give an almost monotone effect. A black-and-white tweed in diagonal weave, for instance, would give more of an oxford gray effect than a distinct black and white. The one-color or monotone woolens which you saw last, fall are even more fashionable this year. And it’s this type of fabric that has been taken over by dressy coats, too. The surface is rough and the weave often an uneven diagonal in an effect something like a herringbone. New Dolman Sleeve There's one of the newer types of informal coats showns on the left-hand figures. It has the real dolman sleeve—a new fall fashion —that gives the wider look through the shoulders. This is a good sleeve to choose if you plan to wear your informal coat over a suit, as it leaves plenty of room for the heavier material beneath. This coat is made of diagonal, rough woolen in plain color and finished with a caracul scarf. The other coat is a two-tone mixture giving the effect of one color with medium length shawl collar of long-haired fur. And the fashionable wide shoulder look comes from a raglan sleeve. (Copyright. 1931. by Amos Parrish) Next: Amos Parrish writes on practical fur coats. * Cobler’s Bench Handy The old cobbler's bench is now gracing many a modern living room that's furnished in early American type furniture. It’s used as a coffee table or as just a convenient low table beside a couch to hold magazines and smokers’ necessities.

Hair Tonic Is Useful in Summer BY ALICIA HART Getting summer sunshine into your soul is good for whatever ails you. Getting too much of it into your hair can do plenty of harm, unless you take good care of your scalp. Sunshine, you must remember, tans hides if they are left out in it long enough. Look at the dried-out faces of old sailors and see what it can do. Most women recognize this and grease their skins and use lotions and unguents until they get only the benefit from the sun’s rays and none of their harm. But your hair is another thing again. How many women realize the deleterious effects sunlight can have on hair unless it, too, is cared for.
May Need Special Tonic By all means use a tonic in Slimmer time. If your hair is growing dry and brittle, use one that is compounded for dry scalps. If your hair doesn’t show any bad effects yet, use a hair tonic for normal scalps. Seldom do you need a tonic for oily scalps, if you can expose your hair enough to wind and sunshine, and brush it adequately. There is art in the way you apply tonic. Don’t use it too abundantly. The idea is to get it on the scalp, not the hair. Two things aid you in doing this correctly. A medicine dropper can be used. A tiny pad of cotton dipped into the tonic is even more satisfactory. Two tablespoons of hair tonic
should be enough to properly treat your scalp at a given time. Don’t Moisten Hair Part your hair down the front first. Pat the little pad all along this part, dampening every portion of it, but only the scalp. Then part the hair an inch to the right repeat the performance with the pad and tonic and continue parting your hair all over your head until you come back to the front again. Usually it is a good thing to end by dampening the center part, just as you began the process. After you have thoroughly moistened your entire scalp, massage the tonic in. This is an important part of the use of tonic. Observe 50th Anniversary Celebration of their fifty years of wedded life was held today by Mr. and Mrs. Loyis Graeter at their home, 1253 Eugene street.

Tray Meals Are Aid to Busy Wife BY SISTER MARY NEA Service Writer All the house-furnishing depart- : ments, gift shops and “flve-and- ; tens" are showing trays in profusion, and if you are tray-minded you can | choose just what your pocket-book affords. But do invest in a set of trays. They will save you many steps and labor in other ways. Tray meals are a decided help to the busy housewife on many occasions. If you send a breakfast tray to your house guest you will have the early hours of the morning free to do the extra cleaning and baking. And what keen enjoyment the guest will experience, breakfasting leisurely in her room! When you or some other member of the family must lunch alone, an attractive tray carried to some part of the house or garden quite away I from the scene of your morning's activities is cheerful and restful. Furthermore, it’s no more work to set a tray than it is to arrange a place at the table or to clear off a corner of the kitchen cabinet. Ideal for Garden Porch and garden meals are | easily served on trays. Let the family fill their own trays, cafeteria style, then join the group on porch ! or lawn to eat. Sunday night suppers are another , meal that can be served on trays toj advantage. Each person can serve' ! himself, or the trays can be arranged and served from the kitchen. The same sort of foods can be served on trays that would be served at the table. Simple meals always are desirable in summer, and of course this type of meal is ideal for tray service. Buttered rolls and sandwiches make the tray service easier and give a festive air to the meal. Avoid Awkward Trays When you choose your trays, be sure to select them large enough to take some of the dishes without crowding. Oblong trays hold more than oval ones of equal length and breadth, and will be found more convenient to handle. Round trays are awkward for this purpose and are impracticable. It is attractive to have matching tray cloths and napkins. Gingham in half-inch checks makes effective sets. An inch fringe on both serviettes and cloths finishes them quaintly. As for dishes, with the exception of breakfast, the same dishes that you would use for any meal are used. Save Innumerable Steps Individual breakfast sets in gay patterned china are most attractive, but not necessary. A covered dish to keep the toast or muffins hot can take the place of the regulation toast plate and cover, provided the covered dish permits the steam to escape. Take care not to fill dishes too full on the breakfast tray. Trays will save innumreable steps all over the house. A tray for cleaning not only carries dust cloths and polishes to the living rooms, but makes it possible to collect ashtrays, vases of dowers and last evening's papers and take them to the kitchen for cleaning, rearranging and discarding all in one trip. MARRIAGE OF CITY MAN IS SURPRISE Announcement of the marriage of Miss Mary Kathryn Sterr, St. Louis, granddaughter of M. A. O Mara, 3540 North Meridian street, and George A. Lemcke, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph A. Lemcke, comes as a surprise to their friends. The wedding took place March II at Crown Point, Ind., with Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Knauer attendants. Mr. and Mrs. Lemcke will make their home in Chicago.
