Suddenly sparks will fly between some lovely woman and some hitherto devoted
husband and father, and then the mischief starts. He takes an earlier train home a day
or two later, when she happens to be out in the garden, in striped slacks and a broad
garden hat. They talk.

Accent Is on Luxury
Blouse Type for Fall
The blouse program as mapped
out for fall and winter will use much
luxurious fabric. Pastel metal cloth
made up in classic simplicity is one
of the happy outlooks. Matching the
pastel of the metal weave with crepe
in identical tone presents endless
possibilities for achieving charming
effect. In some instances a bit of
the crepe used for the skirt is re-
peated in stylizing accents on the
metal blouse.
Wide use will be made of deep-
toned satins and they will be made
up similar to the manner suggested
above for metal weaves. Silk jer-
sey is also a favored medium. Used
in vivid reds, greens or blues to
wear with black suits, the new jer-
sey blouses are stunning.
Drastic Changes Seen
In New Fall Silhouette
Here are changes you will find
as the new silhouettes make their
debut this fall. There will be very
few if any set-in sleeves. The
trend is to deep armhole effects in
dolman sleeves, cut all in one with
the bodice or blouse top. Bulk
above the waistline and slimming of
skirts is noted.
Everything is being done to ac-
cent lower waistlines, especially
with inset belts. Beltless dresses
are very new in style stressing so-
phisticated simplicity.
There will be hosts of pleated
fashions that emerge from long-torso
lines with pleats manipulated to re-
tain slenderized lines.
Chiffon House Coats
Torrid days call for cool apparel,
a need which is filled in very love-
ly house coats made of pastel chif-
fons. You can bring the summer
to a very happy conclusion wearing
one of the very lovely chiffon crea-
tions.

Jackets! They Play Important
Role in the Fashion Picture
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
A CCORDING to fashion’s say-so,
E*- you must be smartly jacketed
everywhere you go. Your play suits,
your daytime ensembles, evening
dresses and afternoon frocks are all
supposed to have complementary
jackets, with a few “extras” to be
held in readiness to report for duty
at the beck and call of time and
occasion. So no matter how many
jackets you have they will be none
too many to include in a fashionable
wardrobe.
In a program of interchangeable
jackets the secret's out, as to how
to go victoriously through the mid-
season stretch between summer and
actual fall with “flying colors” so
far as keeping a well-dressed ap-
pearance is concerned. Every wom-
an wants to maintain a refreshing
up-to-the-moment look in summer
hangover apparel until autumn
styles aye set. This is quite a “trick”
in the art of dressing. Interchange-
able jackets that flaunt “the latest”
in styling details is an answer.
With the thought in mind that the
attractiveness of the jacket fash-
ions pictured might inspire you in
a sewing spree venture, we are espe-
cially calling your attention to the
several pen and ink sketches, select-
ed because the numbers are really
very easy to make. You can buy
up such pretty remnants at this time
of year, so reasonable and with the
investment of a little time and ef-
fort you will find yourself the happy
possessor of jackets that, ingenious-
ly interchanged, will set new tempo
for your frocks in keeping with ev-
ery move of fashion.
Referring to the pen-and-ink
sketches, the ones at top to right
Sun-Hat and Bag
Here is a practical sun-hat and
bag that should interest beach stroll-
ers who want to protect their com-
plexion from burning sun rays. The
large sun hat worn so appealingly
by the young lady as she poses in
the picture at the top acts as a per-
fect “freckle fender.”
In the pose below you see how
this huge brim folds to pancake size
so as to fit into the outer pocket
of a made-to-match rubber-lined
beach bag. This hat has a navy
blue brim with red and white striped
crown and the color combination is
repeated in the bag.

So easy to slip on and adjust by
the buttons on the shoulder, and
it covers your frock completely.

and left, are of the casual type for
town and travel wear. For these
remnants of tweed will work up
to good advantage and if you want to
give them a “last word” touch, em-
broider a big scroll monogram
somewhere about them—on pocket
or sleeve or some other strategic
point.
Outstanding on the season’s pro-
gram is the sleeveless long-torso
jacket, known as the jerkin. It is
the schoolgirl’s idol and adored by
sportswomen. The jerkin sketched
at lower right, is easy to make,
easy to wear! Use bright corduroy
or suede clot]?. Jerkin patterns are
available anywhere they sell pat-
terns.
Coolie coats, the popular choice
for evening wear, are ever so easy
to make for they require little or
no fitting. The “coolie” sketched
at lower left, is a “perfect little
treasure.” The material used in this
instance is prettily embroidered in
quaint little posies. Handsome bro-
cade or metal cloth yields beauti-
fully to the coolie treatment. Women
of discriminating taste love coolie
wraps made of fine wool or silk
crepe in subtle pastel greens, vio-
let shades, or Chinese reds. The
newest thing is to embellish them
with a restricted amount of sequin
or bead embroidery. Note the model
in the lower oval inset. In this in-
stance the sheer crepe is in a soft
stone blue, the embroidery done in
silver threads and beadwork.

The Game and the Candle
(Bell Syndicate—WNU Service.)
By KATHLEEN NORRIS
£>OMETIMES when you see
a wife deceiving her hus-
band and enjoying a thrill-
ing love affair with some other
man, the natural resentful ques-
tion is: how does she get away
with it?
Every smart suburb has a few
of her; she is pretty, young, self-
confident. She is also, the other
women think, unscrupulous and
common, even if her father is a
judge and her name on the list
at the country club. But what
they think doesn’t bother her. In
fact, she enjoys the knowledge
that she is annoying them.
Perhaps her lover is somebody’s
husband; that makes it worse. In
small communities, where every-
body plays bridge and golf and
tennis together, and gives parties
where the same men and women
are always meeting, suddenly
sparks will fly between some lovely
woman and some hitherto devoted
husband and father, and then the
mischief starts. They exchange
looks; he sends her a book and she
returns a note; he takes an earlier
train home a day or two later, when
she happens to be out in the garden,
in striped slacks and a broad gar-
den hat. They talk.
And all the time the surface is all
brightness and decorum. She is
especially nice to her husband and
those two small boys; his two little
.girls can see no change in Daddy.
His wife can, but, as I have men-
tioned in this column before, the
jwife under these circumstances has
no chance. If she goes into jealous
rages, everyone sympathizes with
Rob and thinks she is acting dis-
gracefully. If she holds her head
ihigh then and refuses to admit,
much less discuss, the affair, then
the pronouncement is that Sally has
always been a terribly cold, re-
served sort of wife, and you can’t
blame poor Rob for looking for af-
fection elsewhere.
Must Pay Sooner or Later.
But, if it is any consolation to the
women who find themselves in
Sally’s position, the other woman
never does get away with it. She
may for awhile, but sooner or later
she pays, and in the hundreds of
cases of the sort that have come to
my attention, it is interesting to note
that for every moment of illicit
bliss she steals, she pays in many
hours of humiliation or embarrass-
ment. Humiliation if the man pres-
ently writes her a manly, honest
letter telling her that he loves her
as much as ever but that out of con-
sideration for dear little Sally, it
must all stop. She knows full well
as she reads the eloquent lines that
he has stopped loving her entirely,
and that the time to consider dear
brave little Sally was some years
earlier. But she has to accept the
rebuff, the lessened respect of her
friends, her husband’s quiet, half-
amused scorn, and her own lowered
self-esteem. Painful all ’round.
The alternative is almost worse;
embarrassment. This is what she
experiences when she is tired to
death of the affair, bored to tears
by Sally Brown’s stupid husband,
furious at herself for having written
those poetic, playful, adoring letters
that he so treasures and quotes, and
at her wits’ end to get rid of the
man. But no, he will go on tele-
phoning and writing and reproach-
ing her gently for a change of mood,
and trying to work up quarrels
and reconciliations in the old way,
and pleading for dates that she sim-
ply can’t and won’t give him.
Bored, Turns to Music and Love.
Her^ is a letter from Elisa Davis
of Boston, who finds herself in an
annoying predicament.
DIFFICULT FUTURE
A thrill-less marriage cumulates in an
illicit romance. In six months the fires
of love have crumbled into ashes for
one, but still burn brightly in the breast
of the other, who insists upon at least
a token-marriage. Then a third figure
enters the scene and completes a new
triangle. Miss Norris advises on the
only course open to the troubled.
“My marriage was orthodox, con-
ventional, dull,” she writes. “We
had the expected boy and then the
expected girl, but I may say hon-
estly that in the first eight years
since I dutifully said ‘I do,’ I never
once experienced the thrill that
ought to be the lot of every bride,
wife, housekeeper, social favorite,
mother. My own father and moth-
er were cold, quiet people who kept
me constantly busy in boarding
schools and on European trips with
school groups.
“Two years ago, when my chil-
dren were seven and five, I began
to study music. One of the teach-
ers at the school was a vital, hand-
some, eager man; American-born
but of foreign parentage. Never
having known love I fell in love; but
more, I see now, with love itself
than with him. His was a violent
wooing. I was bored and unhappy,
and we became lovers. He had been
divorced; his wife, much older, with
children of an earlier marriage,
lived in another state. For perhaps
six months I lived in a fool’s
dream, then I awakened and at-
tempted to end the affair. But he
was unwilling to have it at anything
but fever height.
“Meanwhile an old friend, a man
who had loved me since babyhood,
though I didn’t know it, came into
our lives, and both my husband
and myself took great pleasure in
his constant company. Seven
months ago my husband was killed
in a motor accident, and George,
the new-old friend, asked me to
marry him. It seemed to me only
honorable to tell him of the affair
with the musician, whom I will call
Leo, especially as Leo was annoying
me by taking it for granted he and
I would be married.
Sees No Happiness With Leo.
“George thinks that I am morally
obliged to marry Leo, even though
his feeling for me and mine for him
is the deepest our lives have ever
known. Dignified, generous and
noble in all his ideas, affectionate
and tender and sympathizing, yet he
feels that it would clear the matter
up to have me marry Leo, even if
I immediately afterward sued for a
divorce.
“My children actively dislike Leo
and love George. He has been
‘Uncle George’ to them, closer than
ever their father was. This dis-
gusting situation has driven me out
of my senses, I am thin and nervous
and cannot eat nor sleep, and I ask
your advice. Could Leo sue me, or
subject me to any publicity if I
married George? Is George right
in asking me to sacrifice my own
and my children’s future by mar-
riage with a penniless musician?
In what way could Leo give this
story to the scandal-mongers if he
liked? George is a politician with
a future before him. Would rumors
of my affair affect his career? I
am going mad over the whole af-
fair and will await your answer with
the utmost anxiety.”
No, I don’t think Leo could make
much trouble, and whatever gossip
he started would presently die
away. Certainly a temporary mar-
riage isn’t the answer, and George
should not exact it. Your only
course is to tell Leo once and for
all that the affair is over, and hope
that George loves you enough to de-
cide, upon sober consideration, that
he wants you anyway. And this
time try to maintain a somewhat
higher standard as a wife.
