IThree-Piece Suits Afford Separate VTra|}—Popular Model Show*

I Three-Quapter Length Semi-I Blousing Effect.

( There is much to be said for coata 'with cape backs o ther than tha t they jure exceedingly fashionable, observes ia prominent fashion correspondent. |They have the grace of a cape without any of Its Impract ical features . There Is the comfort of a good, subs tant la i long coat combined with the ar t i s t ic outl ine of the llowing cloak.

Tha t tho cape Is ne^er really ab­sent from fashions proves tha t lt\ must havc some grea t s t ay ing

(power. There Is some reason for [women's a lways want ing It—for it Is a lways finding a ready acceptance. Wha t can this reason be other than Its feminine grace? We may pra te a t length upon the pract ical in dress, but the pract ical minus beauty and a r t i s t i c appeal never finds real favor.

I T h e cape has considerable roman-jtlc and historical background. This iprobably bears a subconscious intlu-icnce In Its favor. Coming down to the purely pract ical , a coat Is made much warmer by a cape falling over the back, but I cannot say tha t this has anyth ing to do with Its hold on fashions.

I t can be claimed, however, tha t Its youthfulness does much for it. Cer­tainly a coat of tbls typo gives its weare r a much younger and less staid appearance than the old-fashioned pract ical topcoat, which put the fin­ishing touches In more way,? than one on a perfectly good-looking costume, for, no mat te r how .smart one's dress and hat might be, the efTect was iost

[through the addit ion of a prosv look-jlng coat.

jWhero Par ls ienne and American Agree | I I t may safely be said that the cape ^coat Is one of this winter 's greatest I successes. It Is much favored by |both the Par i s lenne and the Ameri-ican. A most in teres t ing cape from Prema t is gray velours de lalne. and

^the lining, which Is satin, e r a c t l j ' |matehes the cloth in color. This coat jhas practical ly two capes, ns the large |Coiiar forms a short shoulder cape a t [the back. The large cape extends in la point at the back. It falls to with In sl.x or eight Inches frorn the bot tom of the coat. , Another model shows the s h o r r c a p e

back cut In one with the sleeves. This cape Is edged with a two-Inch band of applique embroidery, the em­broidery again appear ing down the sides of the coat Itself.

HeriUge of the Middle Ages, A second type of topcoat Is t ha t In

which the moyen-age effect Is carried out. These a r e of long, s t ra igh t cut. sometimes with a bodice p a r t hanging straight to Ju-St above the knees. '

This very .ong-walsted effect, with the upper par t of the ga rmen t hang­ing straight, appears to be one of the essential features of th is winter 's clothes. It has not been car r ied out. however. In such a marked way In coats, as the means of embodying It In a eoat presented considerable diffi­culty. It was thought a t first tha t what was sui table for a dress was not always adaptab le In a coat. Now tha t coats have become so close akin to frocks, the characterl .stics of one belong quite as much to the other.

- One French coat shows a full flounce gathered to tbe upper port ion a t this point, thus forming the lower pa r t of the coat. The flounce Is cut a t inter­vals in fishbone shape to show velvet underneath , the coat Itself being of cloth.

The long coats ;3hji}jHi.by.Jenny are ot s t ra ight cut and In mos t Instances have the belt, o r seihblimce of a belt, placed at a low wais t l ine .

This model is developed in navy blue velours de lalne t r immed with "bands of royal velvet down the r ight side to the edge of the coat, forming the belt, deep cuffs and high mnflling col­lar. The ornament and tassel , used on one side of the coat only, a re of royal blue silk.

Pail let tes Grow In Favor. The other coat. Inspired by the dress

of the middio ages. Is developed in black duve tyn , 'wh ich makes a very smar t topcoat. It is embroidered in Jade greon and Jet pa i l le t tes . The use of pail let tes this season Is most pronounced, this form of t r imming be­ing featured by a large majori ty of the leading dressmakers . Preference Is given to blnck pai l le t tes , Jet bugles and Jet bends, bnt colors, too, a re ofton features, such as royal blue, dark green, brown and whi te .

Evening wraps nro vory lovely. Many of them aro In ox\i,e form and a r e mnde of hrillinnt roloro<l velvets, fur tr immed. These capes a re s t ra ight cut and wrap the figure closoly, there being very little fullness, Tliero nre a few cnpos cut to follow closely the lines nf the figure. This sort otcapo clips the shoulders like n c o n t ' a n d hnngs perfoctly s t ra ight witli no full­ness whatever,

A Inrge numhor of throo-pieco suits hnvo long conts that might almost ho worn ns a separa te wrap . Indeed, so many of the wintor JackMs nro long that ;t seoms hnrdly worth while to cnll nttontlon to their Increased longth. One of the very popular mod­els shows a three qiinrter longth seml-hlouslng Jnckot. Tho siil; Is devel­oped in nnvy blue duvetyn with pons-nnt embroideries In red nncl brown wlfh touches of fur.

When Henry Ford set about bxiilding the Fordson Tractor he had a thorough understanding of just what It should be and what it should do. His early life on the farm gave him a deep insight into the dally life of the farmer; his meehanical genius saw the type of tractor needed. He began work on a farm tractor thirty-five years ago, and for more than twelve years he experimented over more than 7,000 acres of land in different kinds of soil, with different crops.

So he built the Fordson. It is so simple that a schoolboy can operate it. It is low in first cost. It is lowest in operating cost and Fordson parts and Ford­son service are always to be had promptly from t h e ' dealer.

The Fordson is a profitable investment. It can be used every working day in the year. It is an inexpen,-sive power plant that will hghten your^ann work. It has proven its worth on more than a hvindred thousand farms not only in operating implements in the fields but in belt and pulley work. And it doesn't eat when idle.

Don't delay ordering your Fordson Tractor. Th^ demand is greater than the supply.

I 111 Tuesday evening an aud:e:.n' ' interested cltlrens iL»,'tembled to eii:o> the free lecture given by the Karin.rs ' and .Mechanics' club to all who wish.-.l to hear two able speakers talk on agri­culture and home gardens. The presi­dent of the club, F. G. Carpenter, in­troduced Robert P . Trask, the counly club agent, as tho flrst speaker.

i i r . Traak Is well known here for the goad work which he has dole thoughdut thc county. He Iirst made an urgent and wide-awake appeal for more work and more children inter­ested in the line of homc gardens He sjH.ke of the Groton fair and the pr:7.es offered to and won there by vario;i3 children, and hoped that this year the Oroton boys and girls mi,i,'ht win UH.re of these prices. He recuni-nieiidi'.l the work of the Groton ct;.-ning and home economics clubs and exprcKscd the conviction that we were to have a good garden club this year.

A ver>- entertaining group of lan­tern slides wcre next exhibited, show­ing different boya and girls In several towns in the county with specimens of their work In canning, bread-mak­ing, home gardening, poultry-raising and raising pigs, Mr, Trask de-scribcd all of these pictures, naming the prin­cipal champions shown in each pic­ture, .\ Dunstable boy, Ernest Gold-thwaite, was shown in his garden among his rows ot cabtjageB, which he had raised after- selling off bis flrst crop of lettuce and radishes. Several boys were shown with their prize pigs, one of which w.as raised entirely on garbage, making the cost of produc­tion ver>' cheap,

Mr, Tr.ask mentioned one grirl who won a prize on her pig, but lost the championship because the cost of feed exceeded the receipts from the sale of pork. He told of the work of a smil­ing little thirteen-year-old Polish girl who. though her kno-n-ledge of English was able to learn the ar t of canning, and then by her knowledge of her na­tive tongue taught the women of her community and nationality what sho had learned. Many other equally at­tractive pictures were shown, among tjiem the glrla of Ayor, Townsend, Waltham, Lexington and elsewhere, demonstrating their work.

A. W. I^mbard of the department Of agriculture, followed .Mr. Trask. and gave an instructive talk on' fairs and gave many statistics in regard to the work accomplished by them. He urged the necessity of a good, clean program of amusement at fairs, cutting out all objectionable features in this line. He stated that the American barnyard hen produced a larger proflt than the steel industries of the United States. Mr. Carpenter thanked the audience for their presence and their attention and promised them more to follow in this line in the future.

"My faith looks up to thee." accom­panied by Bon.ald Dimock on the saxophone and Mlss Dodge on the or-,gan, to the great enjoyment of their | "' hearers, many of whom expressed " their appreciation of it afterwards.

^fOoeslp, the length and breadth of jZndla, she told herself bit terly, had teoajjled thei r names together until no i d o n b t h e felt t h e same aversion to her J t h a t she did to him. .A.nd all because i j t t e l r fa thers , closely associated for IJyears, had made so evident their wish ^ to see their children wed one another . '.! Tt was when she learned tha t I 'aul,

:ow Capta in Brighton, was to be t rans-d to the aame post as her father,

.t Bet ty made up her mind to nin a w a y , and writ ing to her .lunt In

, America, whom she had never seen. opened the opportunity for the Invita­t i o n to spend the suuimer at t.'ie lat­t e r ' s count ry home.

I'uul Brighton, Just a r r ived from ludla on a mission In which my husband Is con­cerned, says ho has seen hundreds like you si t t ing on the road to Delhi. In­cidentally, he 's coming to tea tomor­row, and between you and me, I be­lieve he's a bi t gone on Joan I"

Thc following afternoon Betty, in he r own charac te r , met quite Infor­mally the man between whom and her­self she had endeavored to pu t several cont inents . They had shaken hands qui te casual ly, while be remarked with calmness t ha t he had known her for many years . Then he had turned to Joan and asked If she played ten­nis.

The next month for Bet ty was much like this game which followed. In which she was qui te out of It all, w a t c h i n g the maneuvers ot Paul and J o a n from the sidelines. And Httle by l i t t le she began to r e g r e t ; first, her Impulsive depar tu re , then her pro­phet ic u t t e r ances , which apparent ly he had t aken so seriously. For, no doubt, he k n e w s h e had gone to avoid hlB presence a t the post and was reveling In his chance to demonst ra te how Uttle her repulses troubled him.

Then an odd thing occurred. In Joan ' s presence Paul Invited her to go with him on a yacht ing p a n y , and al though surpr ised a t herself, Betty hea rd herself accepting. On the eve­n ing of the t r ip she found Paul had d rawn two cha i r s close together In a secluded c o m e r of the s t e m deck. For a while they s a t watching the play of moonUght on the scudding foam of the wake . Then , ou t of a clear sky, Paul turned to h e r and s a id : "You see, Betty, I took you r advice about dark l ad les !"

So he had known, after all—prob­ably through h e r a u n t !

"•Well, Tm svu-e you found It good!" she managed to answer lightly. VBut how did you know It w-as If-

"•Very easi ly," re turned the man. "Once having seen you In a similar charac te r a t an a m a t e u r performance In Simla, r could not very well forget your skillful por t raya l . Besides, hav-Ing come several thousand miles In search of you, I was looking for you eveiTwhere, al though, feeling myself, as I know you did. tha t there had been enough outs ide management In our af­fairs, r was determined to teU no one my er rand ."

"But Joan—and your mission!" s t ammered Bet ty .

" Joan unde r s t ands the whole thing and was helping me out—besides, she 's engaged, herself I" re tor ted Paul . "As for the mission, t h a t was a lucky coin­cidence, I'll a d m i t but. knowing It was to be sen t here , I pulled the wires and got myself appo in ted!"

There w a s a moment ' s silence. Then Pau l leaned over and helped himself to the slim h a n d lying so temptingly nea r his own. "Aren ' t you afraid of the fa te I foretold r ' asked Betty whimsically, b u t not wi thdrawing her hand.

"If I am," declared Paul , "I 'd r a the r endure It with you, my darling, than have all the luck In the world without you!" and won for his brave reply the reward it meri ted.

^^iui'^eai' BUILT FOR ENDURING PERFORMANCE

One look at the sturdy seven-inch frame -w'ith its stout cross members is enough to assure you that the Oldsmobile Four is built for rugged endurance.

You are not surprised at its riding ease when you notice the extra long springs that cradle this car low for better balance.

These outward signs of strength and comfort sug­gest the unseen goodness that begins to impress you the minute you touch the throttle.

Then indeed do you appreciate why so many people have emphatically revised their ideas of value since they began to drive this attractively priced four-cyl­inder Oldsmobile.

I HOLD MY CUSTOMERS

.•\nd pot the ir.-ide of their friends. I do it because I know my busi­ness thorciuphly. Give absolute satisfaction in every respect and pive my persunal attention to ev­ery detail.

If intellipent business men 'who know style, workmansip and wool-ei.s ari- s;itisfied with Murry. why don't you try me? It requires genuine individual Tailoring to make the garment wear twice as long. The fabric must be all wool and of unusual merit.
