erly mild; there's a. nip in the air
when it is a. four-coat cold day, and
by the time you get to a six-coat
cold day you at least have the sat-
istaction of feeling that it will prob-
ably get no colder.

until recent years. has been to add
to the weight of underclothing.
Now we seem to have swerved
over to the Oriental method. And it
is most significant this season when
all sorts of Chinese modes and man-
ners have been adopted in the name
of fashion. True, we still strive
to maintain a summer heat in our
houses in midwinter. and we hope
that it will be maintained in restau-
rants. theaters. stores. offices and
other places where we must spend
more or less at our time. But worn-
on really seem to be much less ex-
acting in this regard now than they
were before the war. They have
learned the trick or adding extra
wraps indoors-the old. old Chinese
custom of meeting the increasing
cold of winter with an increasing
thickness of costs or other wraps.
And this is ever so much pleasantcr
and more attractive—don't you
think7—thtm making up for climatic
differences by the use of light. me-

Fur Dinner- Jackete. -
Fashionable women need no lon-
ger play hide and seek with pneu-
monia and influenza when appearing
in evening dress on cold u‘intcr‘s
nights. A bug in a rug is no snug-
‘ger than she, for there are all sorts
of charming accessories that make
it possible {or her to be perfectly
protected from draughts and cold
without really detracting from the
charm of her appearance. If her
very low neck frock proves incum-
cient for the weather. she may wear
one of the little dinner jackets or
theater coats thathave been intro—
duced among smartly dressed women
this year. They are usually lined
with white fur. rabbit or ermine, and
