WHEN it comes to luxury and novel-, ry. fashion is travelins at a terrific pace these days. Formal suits and ensembles are especially luring style creators into an orgy of opu-

lence and intriguing detail, the like of which has not been equaled for many a season past. Seeing that there is no surer way of arriving at a goal of super-elegance nnd flattering effect than to form an tilliance between rich velvet and handsome fur. designers are doing just That. In consequence, the style program for autumn and winter, so far as formal, dressy suits and ensembles are concerned, is largely a matter of superbly furred velvet, stylized with all the artistry, the skill, and imagination which genius can command. As an example par-excellence of the trend to elegance in the afternoon outdoor costume, attention is called to the handsome model in the upper picture. • Raisin” is the color Patou favors for This formal ensemble of velvet with ■collar and muff of wolf. The soft feminine hues are accomplished with a novel hiptine drape which fastens to one side. Color is an outstanding fascination of the velvet suit or ensemble as presented this season. Such delectable rich tones as raisin, blueberry and fuchsia are given prominence, also •deep beautiful greens are featured, likewise beguiling browns, wines and related shades. Os course it goes with out saying that black retains its pres Tige in no degree. The new fur trimmings place accent on the muff. This very fashionable item is conspicuously stressed not only in connection with dressy vet vet ensembles, but many of the new er doth coats boast an accompanying muff which matches their fur trim inings. As the mode) in the picture bears witness, the designing of the muff be

speaks fascinating originality. Thai designers are making the most of th, muff vogue is evidenced on every side With becoming modesty the first muffs made their appearance in tiny form but already the vogue has developed into a program of unique and capti rating styles which are entirely a mat ter of the resourcefulness of the de signer. In the instance of the muff illustrated, fur trims the velvet, hut often the order is reversed anil a huge velvet how elaborates the muff which itself is made of the fur.

Autumn Sports Skirts in New Combination Whether to wear a skirt that flares with godets or a straight wrap-around skirt with your sports jacket becomes less of a problem when you can combine the straight line with godets or plaits. For sports w’ear this latter style is preferred to the less interesting straight line or plaited-all-around skirt. This trend toward the combination of straight lines with flares or plaits adds another leaf to the laurels

Afternoon Outdoor Costume.

In vanity fair furs of almost over awing sumptuousness are crowding the autumn and winter fashion scene. It matters not whether one considers the question from the standpoint of the all-fur coat, or of the fur-trimmed cloth or velvet suit or ensemble, or of the smartly-furred cloth coat, the fact remains, that not : in the memory of this generation have furs been so gorgeous, so beautiful. | so luxurious as fashion now presents . them. Nor is the word picture too ex- | travagantly drawn, since it must i measure up to the magnificence of ' such regal furs as two of filmland s j prettiest stars.

I THE I HILLTOP | | WOMAN | iffi by D. J. Watsbt HELEN TUCKER hung up the telephone receiver with one hand, white with the other, she pushed the dark hair back from her worried forehead. Her glance swung in a swift circle about the pretty blue-and-white kitchen Round the figure 9 on the calendar that hung beside the kitchen cabinet she had drawn a penciled circle. Not that she needed to be reminded that rhe 9th of October was Dick’s birth day. But she loved at the end of the year to flip over the leaves of her calendar smiling at the special days thus marked and memoranda scribbled in blank places. Upon the shelf of the kitchen cabi net stood a brown bowl of cake batter just ready to pour into the greased pan. But she had no time now to bake Dick’s birthday cake. Snatching up the bowl she ran with it out the back door and across the lawn to the bright little new house next door where a fair-haired young woman was hanging up baby’s garments to dry in the sun. “This cake is ready to bake,” Helen panted. “I’ve been long-distanced home. Mary! Will you look after •Junior till 1 get back? Just while Dick’s at work.” “Don’t worry about anything,” said Mary Warren, with one of her wide reassuring smiles. “I’ll take good care of the boy. And I’ll see that Dick gets something to eat.” IkLn dashed back home. She scribbled a note to Diek and pinned it in plain sight over the blue-en ameled sink. It would take too long to get trim on the telephone even if he happened to be working round the office that morning. Cramming her little black hat down over tier dark hair, she grabbed her purse and overnight bag and ran to the garage. The coupe was in order, shed heard Dick say so las* night—-oil. water, gas tires, pumped up It was the quick est although not the easiest way To get to Burnwood but she had been over the ground so many times that she wasn't afraid to drive. Mary waved a cheerful farewell to imer as site swung out of the little cinder driveway. Mary was such a dear, i ail a neighbor should be. She needn’t ' worry about Dick or Junior, but — i wouldn't they be surprised when they I <-ame home at noon' and found tier I gone? No jojly dinner that night, no birthday cake for Dick with thirty-one I n pink sugar in the center and font I nig pink candles. Oh. well! She mustn't think about that now. Dad had long distanced.

Besides, the sun bad been blotted out try heavy clouds, it was beginning to rain. At that sea son one'never knew what a storm was going to amount to, once it began. The gloom deepened. Helen tumen on her headlights just in time to save I herself a bad smash. For ahead ot her was a barrier, placarded “Detour.’ settling nerself rigidly to a difficult task, she turned into the only other course offered— a dirt road that led as she knew from previous experience over a wild and wooded mountain. There was just one house on this mountain and she was nut sure that anyone lived there now. She dreaded : the long stretch ot rough road where ; she was likely that day to be the only j traveler. A puncture, or spark plug 1 trouble so far from a telephone or i other help might prove decidedly un pleasant. Half way up the mountain Helens headlights picked up a toiling figure iin the r<»ud before her. She tooted i i lie horn, swerved and finally stopped, jerking on the emergency brake. It was only then that the woman, who had a brown shawl over her head, looked up. “Want to ride?” shouted ; Helen, recognizing the hill-top woman j as she Nailed her. •I’m awful wet,” said the woman ■ But she got into the cat gratefully i She dropped the brown shawl from |,her head showing Iter worn, strong, featured face anff graying hair. “I’ve b en down to the mail box,” she went on “The rural postman don’t go any nearer my house than the foot ot the hill I thought my Lillied write to lay. But she didn’t.” She sighed heavily. “She’s away from home?” Helen re•alled the red haired girl she had noticed once or twice on the porch of the old house. “She’s gone to work in Bingham, at the live-and-ten.

Winter’ Food Supply Stored by Woodpecker

California woodpeckers are like men in taking thought for the morrow, says a noted ornithologist. One can receive vast help from these birds, he said by watching the manner in which they provide for the future. They gather acorns, grasshoppers and other insects and store them in trunks and limbs of trees for their winter food supply. Regularly arranged holes are tiered in the trees for this purpose, in each of which are stored a special kind of food. One section of the tree may be set aside for acorns, another for grasshoppers and still another for an additional type of food, just as the farmer stores his corn in one bin, wheat in another and rye in still another. In addition to the California species, there are many kinds of woodpeckers, each of which feeds in his peculiar way. When seeking food the arboreal species usually begins at the base of a tree'trunk and ascends slowly, often in a spiral manner, prying Into ' knocking off pieces of

No, I couldn’t see my way clear to doing as Lillie wanted. And she didn’t see her way clear to staying home with me. Girls get awful foolish and restless sometimes.” They had reached the old house. It was raining furiously. Helen couldn’t see through the windshield. “You better come in and wait till it lets up,” the trill-top woman said. “It’s only a shower. And it’s awful rough I going down t’other side of the mountain.” Within the house was as poor and dreary as without. But it was a shelter from the wildly slashing downpour. Helen looking about at the cracked and faded wall paper, the dingy rag carpet, the old-fashioned stove, didn’t . blame Lillie McLean for leaving home. | She wondered that Mrs. McLean was willing to stay there alone, working as hard as she did. “You and your daughter ought to be together,” she said gently. “Bing ham’s a big towm for a young girl to be in alone. Why don’t you rent this place or sell it? My husband’s in the real estate business and perhaps he could find somebody to take it off your hands. Mrs. McLeans strong face colored darkly. “This is my home,” she said, coldly, | “even if Lillie doesn’t consider it good , enough for tier. She can come back here to me. I shan't go to her.” “Don’t say that.’.' Helen smiled , “Aren't you just the least bit stub- \ born? Aren’t you putting these few acres, this house before your da ugh j ter? You’d like the town, I’m sure. And, anyway, home's where your heart ; is. I feel that Lillie needs you terri- j bly. Listen, Mrs. McLean! When I come back this way tomorrow, won’t you be ready to go with me to Irillie?” “No,” almost shouted the hill-top woman. The storm was passing. Half an J hour later Helen continued her joui , ney. She reached home by midatter noon. Her father rose up from the deep chair where he sat leading. “Mother’s abed upsiairs.” he said “Doctor Mott says her chest cold isn’t j going to amount to anything this time. 1 tried to get you half an hour after I phoned you first.” “1 was on my way,” replied Helen ! She ran upstairs. “My child!’’ her mother said ' stretching out eager hands. “I’m afraid John frightened you. 1 scolded him for calling you. for 1 knew you d come.” “Through tire and water to you. al ways,” Helen said, as she pressed her fresh cheek to the older one on the pillow. ’ i She told her mother about Mrs. Me Lean and Lillie. “Do you suppose ’ she’ll be ready to go with me tomor- j row?” she asked. “1 should.” answerefl her mother. “Oh—but you re different,” laughed Helen. “You haven't got a chin like a rock.” When Helen reached the hill-lop House next day she drove very slowly, looking tor the woman. Mrs. McLean was nowhere m sight Helen jumped out and ran to the door She thumped upon the we;hher-beaten panels. There was no answer. Baffled and angry. < she returned to her car. certain that Lillie's mol het was watching a crack somewhere. w At the foot of the mountain by the mail box she found Mrs McLean. She was dressed for traveling. A hag was beside her. She stood reading a let ter she hud just taketf from the box. I'ears were streaming down her thin cheeks. “Lillie s written. Site s coming home last ot the week.” she explained as she saw Helen. “But you're going to her.” said Helen. Mrs. McLean wiped away the tears and tucked the letter in her pocket. “Yes, I'm going to her.” she said “I watched and watched for you to come by. Then I got sorta in a hurry and started out. It's four miles to the bus route but I guess 1 could have tmaie it.” The lights were lit in the five-and ten when Helen drove up there. She went in and found Lillie. She told 1 Lillie laughing that she had a nlothei to deliver to her. The. took of amazement and joy that ?ame into the girl's face was only equaled by the tenderness of Mrs. McLean s look as she met her daughter. When Helen reached home she found the house open, the table set. The birthday cake resplendent with pink sugar, and candles was the first thing that attracted tier eye. “It is the cake you began vest er day,” said Mary, who was busy in the kitchen witli her wee Dorothy tied in Junior's old high chair. “You look tired but happy. Helen, as if you d done somebody a lot of good by going,” ' Helen thought of the hill-top woman “Maybe I did.” she murmured, reflec- ; lively.

bark or digging deeply into decaying limbs until they reach the higher branches, when the process is repeat ed on the next tree that comes handy or otherwise attracts their attention. The food of this species consists largely of insects, especially the larvae of wood-boring beetles, including a greater or less amount of the vegetable matter in the form of berries, seeds, acorns or the tender inner bark of trees, while a few forms, known as the sapsuckers, subsist to some extent at least, on the sap of trees, causing thereby some damage, since they often pierce rows of holes about the trunks or larger limbs. The ground-feeding woodpeckers subsist largely on ants, and when they have discovered a fresh nest usually clean it up pretty thoroughly. History Just Grows You can’t reason with life.

!*rpHE first time I heard of it,” 1 writes Mrs. E. Whitney of 35 Parker Street, Bangor, Maine, “was when I was at the Hospital. I was very nervous and run down and after my baby daughter was born the doctor began giving me something. In about ten days I felt like a new person. Before then, I was miserable. My skin was in very bad condition and I could not understand what made it clear up so quickly. "Before I left I asked the House Doctor what kind of medicine it was that cleared up my skin and made me feel so much better. He said ‘My dear girl, didn’t you ever hear of Nujol? Hospitals aren’t the only place where you can get it! You can buy it most everywhere!’ "I have been using Nujol ever since, and I think it is wonderful.” That’s the great thing about Nujol.
