SPANGLED FROCKS FOR EVENING; NOVELTY FUR FABRIC ENDORSED

A social season resplendent i with modes which dazzle with glitter and glimmer, an lustrous color is in promise. It is Indeed a gorgeous scene which fashion foresj»eaks of fabulously beautiful metal cloths both for gown and for evening wrap, and of velvets i. as lusterful and colorful as fancy can picture, also of frocks which scintillate with itcads ami exotic-toned spangles. Bespangled gowns such as I the one In the picture are destined to lend enchantment to the pageantry of formal mode. This one looses an allover spangled. sleeveless top i over a petticoat inadeofgold-und-silver cloth. Its slightly molded to-the-form lines confirm fashions favor for the princess silhouette. The shoulder flower with Its big sprawling leuves stresses the latest trend to larger gauzier types. Luxurious materials pro- ! claim rhe elegance note in no uncertain terms this season. Soft drapey metallic ! fabrics are entrancing, especially those in gold and silver on black, which are so much tn demand. The appeal of metal cloth is becoming more apparent as autumn days play their prelude to winter festivities. Metal brocades for the evening wrap is one of the mode's outstanding triumphs. Sheer metals op chiffon and georgette will be very popular, too. for frocks ei feature the draped sil te. - ue very remarkable beaded gowns have entered upon fashion’s de luxe program. such as, per example, an evening model of navy blue chiffon which is en-

riched with rhinestone embroidery in butterfly motifs. That is the interesting thing about the newer beaded dresses, they are unlike their prede cessors—so entirely unlike that mere ly referring to them as "beaded” does not convey a proper impression of their striking originality. Bead fringe arranged in tiers is one of the new movements. A metal frock bordered with a patterning of generously-sixed hollow gold beads spells a refreshing note. Some of the navy blue formal frocks (navy is the latest thing for evening wear) have a single huge flowc worked out in brilliant heads, the leaves and stems sometimes trailing to the hemline with petals of the flower covering a goodly portion of the b<Miice.. Certain renowned houses In Parts are delighting their clientele with chic fur ensembles of hat and coat, often with pocketbook to match, after rhe manner of the models in this illustration The idea of a fur hat matched

to the fur trimming of one’s doth coat or to one’s coat of fur Is said to be gaining in favor with those who are creating fashions for the coming winter months. This Is especially true In regard to novelty pelts such as spotted calfskin and other fiat furs like broadtail and shaved lamb. Remember how fashion once frowned upon fabrics whi~b Imitated fur? Well, time brings changes One of the notable changes wrought tn the realm of the mode is the indorsement which stylists are this season accord Ing to materials which look like fur but are not.

Original Collar A most original collar was seen recently upon a frock of beige crepe de chine. Narrow tucked pieces were wt in the ends of the collar and fell In long streamers, which crossed at the throat and then slipped into patchpockets upon the skirt.

A Sparkling Evening Gown.

Even the Petter houses are espousing the cause of (he fur-fabric coat at present, it really requires little or bo l>ersuash>n to convert even the most skeptical to the idea of these handsome coats. They for themselves in their "snappy” styling and general attractiveness. As to these new fur fabrics, it is almost unbelievable that through the artifice of man stitch amazingly realistic reproductions are possible of leopard skin, civet cat. raccoon, breadtail and even spal and beaver and many other types. A caprice of the cloak fasr.ionist is to trim these flat fur cloth effects with genuine long-haired fur collars and cuffs. For instance, a black broadtail fabric coat 1$ apt to have an imposing black fox shawl collar or a leopard fur fabric may sport a collar of natural fltch or brown fox. It Is not. however, as a substitute for the genuine, fur coat that these

wraps of fur fabrie''scbre their real triumphs, but as a novelty which frankly declares its man-made origin Another smart mode is that of uni terials printed In reptile pattenvngs Many of the new accessories such a.« hand bags, footwear and belts are su<cessfully developed of leather and fab rics printed with reptile markings slm ulating the cobra, the python and oth er snakeskins as well as lizard and a) ligator effects Raincoats which are made of rubberized reptile cloth are in vogue.

rI I xHE third great control is the I * ■ I ear. The ear is a double eonI trol. It first enables the body to balance and. second. it acts as a very valuable alarm, because. while the eyes guard right ahead only, the ears guard in two directions. Horses can move their ears around in any direction, and can. therefore, tell better than we can how far off and from what direction the sound is, because the ear muscles can put the ears at the angle that gets the sound best. Horses rely much more an their ears than their eyes—so do rabbits and deer. “Fortunately, as our . ears .are on opposite sides of our head, it takes sound waves longer to jJet to one ear than t!ie other, and that helps us to tell how far off file sound is. a.nd which direction it comes from. Our hearing machine has bn the outside a halt-horn to collect sound waves and send them down the hole into a tube, as the receiver of a telephone does for our voice waves. "The tube is located in solid bone: i and down it. so as to be safe, a drum (head is stretched right across the tube. In the tube, also, are hairs and wax to catch and keep out enemies |tnd dirt. The drum head is built ip of very fine strings stretch- ' ing from the side of the tube and ; fastened in the middle to a tiny bone ! rod. called the hammer handle, be- ■ cause there is a knob on the top end iof it. The bar i> is not exactly in ■ the middle, so ttutc all tlnustrings are of diferent lengths, and each fiber will start to move in answer to a disi ferent note. The fact is. our ears can j tell us of any note made up of waves j that measure anywhere between 40 I and 40.000 vibrations to a second. “Nov we must have air on both sides of the delicate drum or it would be pressed flat by the weight of the air outside. So the other side of the drum head is a fine little room called , the middle ear. There is a door in the back wall of this room leading to a pipej. the other end of which opens into tne big air chamber inside the back t'f the throat. If you shut your mouth and hold your nose, and swallow, you will hear air crinkle Inside ■ your »ar against the inside of the ■ drum. Big tonsils are apt to block i up the inner end of this pipe, or when you get a bad cold it gets blocked. Then you can hardly hear anything, because the drum cets pressed in ami : can’t vibrate. The arrangement to carry ihe sound vibrations across this necessary room is really marvelous — ■ a beautiful necklace of little bones. Joined to the head of the hammer J bone lit a tiny bonelet called the anvil, t because of its shape, and fast to that ‘ Is the stirrup bonelet. the flat part or plunger of which is fastened square over the second drum, a thin membrane covering in an oval window on , the inside wall like this. When there i is a noise the outside drum moves with the sound, and the little chain prevents the waves from pulling the inner drum too hard. The other side of the oval window is the secret chamber called the inner ear. This is beautifully lined and divided into two ( halls, each full of watery lymph. The front (iall leads to the music room. : This tsl a long, tubular corridor which ; winds round and round an upright hollow pillar, getting smaller as it goes ; up. like the center piece of this conchshell. (See picture.) There’s a bone shelf half way up the side of the corridor running round the central rod. and so many thousands of fibers are stretched from it to the outer wall that it makes a fine curtain, the

RULER OF THE SEA Among unusual sovereigns, NV osiTama. who lived on an island In the Gilbert group, was ruler of the sea and hjfi nothing to do with matters of the land. It was he who decided when the fishing fleets should go forth, and his subjects paid him tribute of the pearls and tortoise shells they found, says Jack MacLaren in the London Daily Mail. Legend has it that his original ancestor was born of a mating of the wind and sea.

strings getting shorter 0 and shorter as you go up. Exactly as fiddle strings or harp strings get shorter to make higher and higher notes, so these do to receive and answer to higher and higher notes. A veil, only a singk cel? thick, covers over the outer part of r this, as you see In the picture--an<t in this queer passage formed beneath is the real hearing organ. This < rgan is made of a few special <*ells—an<J runs the whole way up the corridor from bottom to top. "Inside the central column Hire thousands of wifes to central—the whole, is called the hearing i erve. exactly like the seeing nerve. fiber runs out over the bony shelf to every single ceil on the hearing organ. The oval window covered by the plunger of the stirrup is in the upper half of the corridor. There is a large round window in the ower half covered by an elastic membrane, exactly like the Eskimos use e astic-seal-bowel skin to cover their win lows, because they have no glass. In the hearing organ you see the roifs of sensitive cells, each with fine hairs in it, and close over them is a sjeclal roof made up mostly of live vires, that is of nerves, to a cell nuiss or ganglion, thousands of whicb arelodged on the circular shelf, and are local centers sending the messages through the hearing wires to central. When the outside drum is moved by a sound wave. s>e plunger of the stirrup presses the water tn the top < f the corridor down on the tips of the hairs, and that pushes out the elastic round window below—-.the elasticity p ills it back, and so it is just as if the hairs ticked the live wires just the right .number of times for each note t nd so wired a ‘hearing picture’ up to central—where it is (exactly as in the eye) immediately preserved la the record chamber, called memo: y. as well as interpreted and acted U|a>n by you and me. There are little specks floating in the corridors also, and when stirred up they may help t» send up messages also. These recor Is areso well kept that recently a man listening in on a radio discovered his lost brother, whose voice he had not heard for years. “Now, let’s go back to the other, or Inner, end of the halt. Here is another room with five doors, each leading into a big bony tube. Each is half a circle. So they are called semicircular canals. Here in this chamber. which is also filled with fluid, are again many small specks, and ilso a number of cells with hairs. The canals lie in the shapes of big bows at right angles to one another, so that, one Is down when the other is up. whichever way your head moves, and into them, also, the fluid goes. There is i raw of wires that goes to this roon also, but it does not come from centralfront office this time, but from the back or lower-brain office—and it is these canals which enable us to balance. (See picture.) When they move : too much In certain ways, they get troubled, and we get giddy. Some think the specks lodge now oil this side, now on that, of the ha rs as they move about, and the changing of the weight makes pictures i a the lower brain—sea sickness is probably a trouble of these balancing when the ship shakes us up too much. We don't yet exactly understan i how any of these pictures are interpreted ■ by the man inside. Perhaps we never shall. But the workmanship apd the design are so wonderful, and ire so j carefully protected, that we ought to know all we can about them." (© by UN B«U Byndieat*. lne.»
