NEW TAILOR- MADES In studying the newest fashions' de signed for Fall wear one is impressed by the continued suppression of hip curves as against, the defining of the . wai3t- line and the emphasizing of the shoulder and bust curves. A very re fined type of tailored frock is shown here, carried . out in Italian brown broadcloth. The front of the jacket is fashioned in panel style, while to the sides and back is attached a two-piece circular section. In average size the costume calls for 4"4 yards 54-inch ma terial. A glance at the cutting guide will show what careful maneuvering is necessary to use . the material to the best advantage. Today's lesson deals exclusively with the cutting of the coat, for the model is well adapted to separate wear and may be carried out in any material. The circular skirt section of the coat comes first and is laid on a lengthwise thread of the ma terial, the straight edge running along the selvage edge of the cloth. Along the lengthwise fold is laid the back, and next the underfacing, followed by col lar, cuff, and belt. Between the front and the upper sleeve section which are placed near the selvage of the goods and the sections of the pattern laid along the lengthwise fold, the trim ratng piece, undersleeve and pocket are Wtfl. In this way there is practically no waste, and the small pieces of ma terial that are left can be used to cover the buttons. In connection with the new tailored costumes there are shown charming blouses and sometimes, the waist re peats the color of the gown, if not the tone. Pleated skirts are the favorite models to wear with the jackets of long line and are liked because they express dig nity and reserve. Buttons as a trimming are to be used extensively. They will serve no pur pose but that of ornamentation pure and simple, even most of the fasten ings of frocks being really closed with snaps and the buttons serving to hide the snap stitches.

GIRLS WHO MAKE UNWISE CHOICE OF FRIENDS "Thou truest friend man ever knew, Thy constancy I've tried; Where all were false, I found thee true, My counselor and guide." What girls and young women are there who do not take the best hour of evenings and occasionally slip away afternoons in quest of friends to chat and gossip-with? At weekly gather ings, dance parties and bright enter tainments girls chum together, each of whom usually has some laughable new experience, of a new flame's admira tion for her, or takes advice as to how some disappointing episode will turn out or ean.be bettered. From girlhood days to ' young wo manhood's realm, bosom friends cling closely and some too intimately, claiming a control over confiding ones that amounts to fascination. What they do not And out from these un wise confidants is not worth knowing, let alone keeping their secrets intact. Girls are at times drawn to one an other In friendship; if they make good headway, being anxious to see more of each other, the ways as well as the go ing, about of one often yield to the oth er in uncontrollable will power. On the start of their acquaintance they are far and apart from some oth er, only on speaking terms until the ice of reserve is melted. Then it does not. take long for a flame of devotion to spring up and at some unlucky oppor tunity they pour out all of the pent up wrongs they fancy are theirs, feeling sure and relieved that the burden had been cast into a friend's bosom which beats only with pure sympathy for their unhappy lot. Here comes the old, old saying: "She told a friend of hers all about so-and-so., , That friend ; let her own friends into the 6dd secret. Kach promised it should not be repeated, never to go farther. But I overheard it in a run about fashion, put thi3 and. that to gether, and now I could boldly con front her with' the whole story in a nutshell." Girls whose hearts are most liable to err in this unwise choice of friends are to.be found by the score everywhere and any place. They are mostly good dispositioned girls, of affectionate na tures, who are lonely and whose wish is to find just such resourceful friends who Will drive dull care away; those who mone will' put his arms about and do so many obliging things for. - It nevet enters Lthe ' mind . of the woman who casts her burden on the wrong friend whether it is wise or bound to end in the bitterest feud between them some day. It is only a brave woman whose good common sense is the means of rescuing her from the peril. The bosom friend who keeps sacredly all tabs on other people's business is not worth this eye-opening about. She is a paste treasure whom many have found out. ' It isn't the easiest thing in the world to find a number of best friends alike, all disappointing and abusing the pit iful trust imposed upon them in a burst of confidence. The really good friends that the heart should go out to are not the pretentious, delightful appearing, brilliant,, push-forward per sons who infer that it seems as if they had known you fpr a lifetime, and who throw out' flattering compliments whenever you meet.- Girls had better stay at home and prudently take plen ty of time to consider wisely the ideals which they would raise when they would, go .out. to seek those who have neither head nor heart for the unwrit ten ' pathos of others. Making friends is well enough in its place and when people are thrown together. Carefully they should pick their bosom 'friends if they regard having peace and good will Instead of getting into -trouble in the future. G-ladly turn to those you have . met whom you can learn to love better, who improve on acquaintance, who look on the bright side with you instead of constantly presenting- un favorable predictions, if you would be happy.. MISS LIBBEY'S REPLIES TO YOUR LETTERS Miss Libbey's answers to your letters. Correct name and address must be given to in Sure attention. Initials print ed. Write short letters on one side of page only. Use ink. Personal letters cannot be an swered. Address Miss .Laura Jean Libbey, No. 916 President Street, Brooklyn, N. Y. WHOSE RING WAS ON HIS FINGER? Dear Miss Libbey: I am a girl of 17, keep company with a young man. I love him; he treats me with nice respect. One night he came to my home with a ring on his finger. I asked whose ring it was. He said a boy loaned it to him. Do you suppose he tells the truth? I love him. He seems to love me too. Do you think this real love? B. S. If there has been nothing said to in dicate hi3 getting a ring for you, we must conclude that it was one loaned to him. Young men like to make good appearances. In time you should find find out if he really loves you. Be sweet, modest and reserved. ONE LOVES HER, OTHER DOES NOT Dear Miss Libbey: I have corresponded with a young man 26 years old. I never cared for him a great deal. He asked me to marry him two years ago. I never found love enough for him to marry him. He is manly, of good habits; no DAILY TALKS Oil uju t will make a ?iod husband. I love another better. He' does not seem to care for me. Should I wait? Maybe he will learn to love me as I love him. Also, he is of good habits, a good worker. Please advise. L. I. M. Delays are dangerous. Waiting for a man who does not love jou is ex tremely unwise. If you can love the good man who loves you and has proposed marriage, you will act sen sibly. WHAT OUGHT SHE TO SAY? Dear Miss Libbey: Two of us girls are so interested we ask your advice. What answer is a girl to give a boy when he asks to see her home? Should a girl return to her house with a youth she is not much acquainted with? Is it proper for a girl to ask a boy to call again if his company is desired, after seeing her home? How ought a girl to express herself after returning home from an entertainment with him? Wishing you may advise very soon. Thanks. When he asks you to see him When he. asks to see you home, if acepting, say, "Yes, thanks!" I don't advise girls to go out with youths they are not hardly acquainted wth. If a boy's company is desired and he sees her home, a girl, can ask him to call again. Returning from an enter tainment, with escort, she may re mark: "I have enjoyed the evening, thanks." 11 IS HE TO ANSWER GIRL'S POSTCARD? Dear Miss Libbey: r I am near 17 years old, good looking, curly hair, brown eyes. Would it be right for me to reply to girl's post cards? A girl wrote to me several times. She is a year older than I am. Will say "I am almost too young.'' Your answer will be welcomed. M. D.' You are quite right in not replying to girl's postcards when sense tells yon are too young. She doubtless- does not expect you to send cards in return. Plenty of time for girls and youths to write and enjoy companionship later on. . . ... NEW YEAR'S DAY. It will begin on Wednesday even ing. September 8th, with an ornate solemn service in the t Temples and Synagogues. . The Thursday morning Service comprises . a more elaborato form of worship and combines some vestiges of antique ritual with ex pressions of human experiences and feelings true and real for everybody and at all times. . The Jewish New Year's1 Festival is the oldest of all festivals celebrated in the civilized world. But it is unique for its significance as well as for its antiquity. The secular New Year ' (on January 1st)' "Is a day of gratifications; men rejoice in what they have achieved; it is a day for sordid inventories. The Jewish New Year's Day, however, is a time for serious thought on the Meaning of Life; it evokes pious contemplation of the difficult and inevasible prob lem as to right and wrong and its appeal is not that we should get more out of practical life but value more genuinely, imore truthfully, more morally the life God has entrusted to us. Much of the success and failure of our work depends, not upon our equipment, but upon our motives. The Jewish New Year's Day, accord ingly, is placed by a wise tradition at the beginning of autumn, when men enter upon their enterprises and obli gations with zest and zeal. Just then they need a right interpretation Of life and a true measure of Its values. The antique features of the ritual of that Day express the aspirations all men feel equally. The Trumpet Calls, constituting the central part in the worship .of that Day are appeals for the mral stir which men should feel when they contemplate their experi ences and seek for re-enforccment of their hopes. The calls are also an appeal to the large sense of life. Our week-day wishes and prayers are self centered and do not give us a perspec tive of our relations and obligations to the community and fellowman, and of their influence upon us. But the New Year's Day offers us an oc casion to re-affirm our respect for and trust in Providence which is the, or ganization of all lives into an all encompassing justice. The Jew com prehends this as a comfort in the case of misfortunes and as monition in the successes he may have. The function of the New Year's Day is to establish a moral judgment In our life and experiences. President Wilson will not return to his summer home at Cornish, N. H., this year. HOBSFOHO'S AeSd Phosphate (Non-Alcoholic) When you feel exhausted by the heat or humidity; when the body needs to be refreshed, the ' brain rested and the blood cooled a little Horsford's Acid Phosphate in a tumbler of water, is bracing, reviving, and 1 Alfe!izing iummar Drink i y i? Iwttle y y ci J CONNECTICUT SUFFRAGE NEWS (A. G. Porritt.) It is exceedingly interesting to learn '.hat the articles signed Peter Red ."ord, which have been appearing in newspapers all over the country, are in reality supplied by an anti-suffrage organization to which the breweiTj have been large contributors. Peter Radford writes as though he were an honest farmer, and his arguments might appeal to some men and wo men who have not "thought much on the question. But when a' man talks or writes about the sainted influence of his mother's gowns and contrasts the influence of the mother with fu ture rulers nursing at her breast and kneeling at her feet, it is always time to look out. These are the stock phrases of the man who wishes to keep the real reasons for his antag onism to woman suffrage secret and who, therefore, throws dust in the eyes of his readers and uses sentimen tal trash for this purpose. The "New Republic" which has been exposing the Peter Radford articles, says truly enough that "the brewers who have cause to fear woman suf frage should be entitled to be heard against it, just as the railroads for their good and the good of the peo ple who invest in them ought, to put forward their hest arguments for rate increases." "It is when the propa ganda is not avowed," continued the New Republic, "when1 it crops up un expectedly and half-hiddeta. to be traced with difficulty to its source that it assumes a, sinister aspect. When under th guise of a series of educa tional articles, readers of rural newspapers-' are misinformed, and, busi ness motives put on the finery of mor ality and sentiment; when appear bear the name of a respected organization which is in reality the tool of .busi ness interests; when the authority of that name is used to brace a brittle and dangerous' contention than it is that public opinion is being poisoned." Farmers all over the country have always been the advocates of fair play for women. In their granges they give equal right to woman with the men. -The women are not ex cluded from the right to help in choosing the masters and officers of the granges or even from holding of fice themselves, and it would be hard to convince- a woman granger that her opinion was of no account when it came to' picking out the right men l for these places. This being so it is difficult ,to see why a - line should be drawn and the women deemed unfit to help to choose selectmen, repre sentatives to the legislature or even congressmen and senators to Wash ington vor presidents of the United States. ! . ! Sewer Committee Lays Out , Ne-w Work The common council committee on sewers at its last meeting voted to recommend to the council the con struction of the following sewers: Laurel avenue from Brooklawn ave nue, 300 feet northerly; Bostwick av enue from Morris street, 12 5- feet southerly; Edna avenue to be extend ed 75 feet; .Rocktort avehuej from Wayne street, 400 feet westerly;lover flow Yellow Mill trunk sewer at foot of Sherman street to be extended 50 feet toward deep water. A hearing will be held September 20 on the construction of a sewer in Garfield avenue. No sewer will be constructed in Cross street. There is only one house 'on the, street and it was found that the street ' has never been accepted -by the city. The city attorney has been asked to determine when, if Bond street, was ever ac cepted by the city. The property owners ther object to the establish ment of -an eight-foot building line and no sewer will be laid until the line is established. Claim Society Refuses To Pay Death Benefit y Attorney A. S. Geduldig, adminis trator on the estate of John Dichazi of this city, has brought suit against the First Hungarian Sick Benefit society of this city to recover a death benefit alleged to be due and unpaid. Dichazi, who was a member of the society in good standing, died April 14, 1914. He was entitled to a death benefit of $350 and the society also agreed to pay burial expenses. It is Baid payment was refused because in Dichazi's policy no legal heir was named. The suit is returnable to the common pleas court, September term. Wants Quarters To Enlist Men Here In United.
