FALL STYLES COME
Fashion Authority Tells of the
Advance Guard.
American Coat Suits Excel the French
Models in Both Style
and Beauty.
While it may seem a little early to
speak of fashions to come when all
of us are still concerned with what is
worn at this moment, the fact that the
. past month has brought so many buy
ers hack from Europe makes the con
sideration of fall effects not only time
ly, hut interesting as well, observes a
fashion authority.
For the first time in several years
many houses have returned to their
pre-war custom of sending representa-,
fives abroad, and we are told that the
Paris shops are so filled with shop
pers that one is given a check with a
number on it so that one has to wait
ope’s turn to be served.
However beautiful the French
1 dresses and gowns may be, the fact
remains that the American coat suits
outstrip them in style and beauty also.
- Perhaps this is because no other wom
en wear coat suits quite so success
fully as do the American. We need
not look abroad, therefore, for cut and
design of our winter suits, although we
may accept the lovely fabrics grate
fully.
It is said mat our American uuikii*
promise longer skirts and therefore
a three-quarter coat, to top them. The
kimono sleeve is looming up to re
place the recent tight shoulders and
snug skin-tight sleeve. A new collar,
saucer shaped, is here, out of which
we will lift our chins as we were not
able to do with the high straight
around affairs. The saucer collar tits
closely around the throat and at the
top has a wider piece so made that It
stands out and away from the face ir,
saucer fashion. It is often lined with
’ a shade contrasting well with the color
of the coat.
Much embroidery is to be used, we
hear, and buttons, too, and flying pan
els to give length. Indeed, some of
these panels are most interesting, for
they float away apparently without
rhyme or reason from the top of the
coat, but are really stoles to throw
around the neck and shoulders to give
extra warmth. Now and then they
are fitted on the underside with pock
ets of fur for the hands.
The pocket seems to he the supreme
ornament and is often a huge patch of
fur or a tiny slit in the side of the
skirt or the coat. Whatever the coat,
cape wrap or one-piece dress may oth
erwise he or have, be sure the pocket
is there somewhere. The vest will
probably disappear, as it has been
1 rather overdone and we haw* tired of
it. In its place I fear we will have’
an influx of the Russian blouse or
j Cossack coat since the manufacturers’
first showing of models seems all to
present the full overhanging waist ef
fect easily obtained in this style of
coat. The belt and sash will, doubt
less, because of this trend, play as
important a part as the pocket.
PEACH-BLUE TAFFETA VEST
Never was there a season when the
littlest things of a woman’s toilet mat
tered quite as much. Previously a vest
was just a vest. Now it has been
glorified into a costume—that is if
the vest is lovely. This vest is a won
derful peach-blue taffeta with quanti
ties of gold lace and tassels and net.
To Clean Lace.
Measure before washing if, as in the
case of curtains or collars, it is impor
tant to keep the original size and
shape. Very delicate lace should be
basted carefully on a piece of cotton
cloth and washed on that to prevent
straining the lace. Wash in lukewarm
water and soap solution, squeezing
rather than rubbing out the dirt.
. Bleach by setting in *dlrect sunshine
and keeping moist with soap or borax
I solution. Rinse thoroughly.

!;| ByT. B. ALDERSON ||; i
Lucia Trever feared Aaron Walters
because he held over her absolute con
trol and power. When her father died
leaving her a large estate he selected
Walters as her guardian until she was
eighteen. His wife had been a flash
ing beauty of the footlights and their
first born, Hector, had inherited her
vivacity and love of excitement. He
had not her sterling worth of soul and
character, however, had gone to the
dogs swiftly, and after both mother
and son died and John Trever him- -
self was stricken with a fatal disease
he thought gloomily of the uncertain
future of his remaining child.
“I have made a will giving you en
tire charge of Lucia,” Mr. Trever told
Walters. I can confide to you that I
fear the gypsy, Bohemian traits which
only made my dear wife charming, but
In Hector developed into reckless vaga
bondage. Lucia must marry before
she is eighteen or the bulk of my for
tune goes to charity.
For five years Lucia lived with the
Walters people. It was a lonely, de
pressed existence. Everything was
kept from her that could develop a
longing for change, entertainment or
companionship. When Lucia was four
teen Mrs. Walters died. For a few
months there was a housekeeper. Then
Walters sent Lucia to an old aunt of
his who kept a small boarding school. .
Lucia was just past seventeen when
Walters took her for a week’s vaca
tion to his gloomy house. While Lucia
was there a cousin of his, a young
man namer Jasper Trull, repellent to
Lucia in every way, came and went,
and essayed to make an impression
upon her. The day that Walters took
Lucia back to the school he said:
“Lucia, you will not have to remain
much longer here. Then you will be
eighteen and my guardianship of you
ends. As you know, you must marry
before your next birthday, and I have
acted in accordance with the wishes
of your dead father. I have selected
an estimable young man as your hus
band—Jasper Trull.”
Lucia said not a word, and Walters
supposed that she had meekly, mute
ly submitted to her fate, but Lucia
shuddered whenever she thought of
Trull, with his grim, awkward ways.
She set her lips firmly in defiance as
she outlined a plan of 'escaping the
fate*her tyrant guardian bad in store
for her. He appeared one day, driv
ing an old wreck of an automobile.
“You are to come home with me,” he
said. “I have employed a lady to act
as housekeeper and help you prepare
for your new life.
Firmly Lucia made up her mind to j
escape. Fate favored her. They had j
p’-oceeded about 20 miles when, at th > |
edge of a slough, the automobile sank
to its hubs. Walters hailed a fanner
driving by with a team of mnles, the
team was at once transferred to the
machine, Walters pushing behind the
auto and the farmer at its side.
“Gently pull that lever just enough
to give the auto a start,” Walters di
rected Lucia. There was a jar. the af
frighted mules made a spring. Shak
ing off Walters into the mud and tear
ing the lines from the grasp of the I
farmer, they dashed out of the rut
and down the road, a runaway indeed!
It was at the end of a mile that
Lucia leaped from the auto, darted into
a stretch of woodland, and felt that
she was free at last. She hurried on I
and on, thinking only of evading re
capture. As she reached a country
road, it began to rain. Lucia was wet
and chilled when a wagon overtook -
her. It had a strange-looking top on -
it; a young man was its driver and a
woman appeared at the door of the
tourist vehicle.
“Get in if you want a lift,” suggest
ed the young man, and there began a
new and delightful chapter in Lucia’s
young life. The occupants of the car
were brother and sister, Roland and
Marcia Brooke, both artists, taking
their summer outing.
There seemed to arise a mutual lik
ing between them. Lucia told only
enough of her story to apprize these
sympathetic friends that she was flee
ing from persecution and forced mar
riage with a man she despised. There
was room in their house on wheels and
in their hearts for this homeless waif, |
and the glories of the universe hurst
upon her radiant vision amid tl*e syl- j
van beauties of scenes they passed |
through.
v."iif i imvc Tsuiuftiling ru leu you;
exclaimed Lucia one day In her im
petuous way, approaching a spot where
Roland sat fishing. “I almost forgot.
Tomorrow is my birthday, aud I must
get married.”
“Why! wiiat are you talking about.
Lucia?” he inquired, startled at her in
genuous eagerness.
“Oh, I must, you know, because—”
She hesitated as to making a full -
explanation, and added simply: “So
those two men cannot make me go
back. You must find me a husband,
Mr. Brooke, oh, surely you must! And
right off—today.”
Find her a husband! He was al
ready her lover! He took her hand
and looked her intently in the face.
“Lucia,” he said, “would you take me
for better or worse?”
“Oh, it couldn’t be anything but for
better!” she whispered, and it was not
until later, after the marriage cere
mony, that Roland Brooke knew he
had won an heiress for a wife.
