Various traps have been tried by one couple who indulge in light housekeeping in a three-room apartment, says the Philadelphia Record. Sometimes, at large Intervals, they managed to catch one of the pests. Every scheme of baiting and setting traps which they could find or invent was tried and the mice continued to eat everything they could get at, falling back oh a diet of clothes when every bit of food had been successfully cached.

iTEND TO DIRECTOIRE MODEL

iSuits ntf faovns Are All Showing the Leaning to This Decidedly Pretty Effect.

Carrying out predictions of a few .months ago, fashion designers .are emphasizing with decided success " the directolre model in suits and gowns. There is a jauntiness about the cut, the lines and trimming that gives, just the charm, the "chic," as Parisians say, to a costume. The combination of materials is most easily carried out,. because of the cuffs, the lapels and collar with the vest and patch pockets which characterize this style. Buttons play an important part, and the broad girdle and sash give opportunity for a color note that will contribute Individuality and character to a gown or suit. : c Generally, the f;oat has a turnedback collar of satin or cloth. It can be quite fiat or it can'stand 'in a high tstock effect, tied up with. black ribbon

or velvet, the knot or bow at the side. Straight lines of buttons are used, 'great emphasis boing placed on round

The skirt of the directoire gown shows increased fullness obtained by either panniers, draperies or pleats laid fiat and pressed, so that the silhouette is not daringly modified. Directoire styles will insure a beauty in dress that will be unusually general this fall and winter. The grace, the -variety and the opportunity for using short lengths are too good to be forgotten in the interesting song of the styles. et the interesting chap, ter o; French history be opened again when you plan your new clothes.

Persian embroideries, with brocade and a good deal of silver, will be used

in evening models. Fashion favors small ribbon, ruches and bows of picot edged ribbons for millinery purposes. At the seaside a refer of ratine or loosely cut ivory tweed is desirable to throw on over light dresses. White dresses for afternoon and evening are charming with bright green, red and amber trimmings. The new Medici collars; with ex. tended ruffs in the back, are likely to be warmly welcomed this fall. In the finer gowns two-toned mirror velvet appears, usually a black stripe on blue, green, gold, purple or red.
